Tools: Miter Saw, Pocket Hole Jig. Materials: 1x3, 8 ft, Pocket hole screws, 1-1/4", coarse thread
Build two identical mitered face frames, carefully matching corners — stack them on top of each other and confirm they're exact matches before continuing. This is the step that determines the whole piece's final look.
Tools: Drill / Driver. Materials: 1x12, 10 ft, Pocket hole screws, 1-1/4", coarse thread
Lay one face frame down with its pocket holes facing upward. Attach the beveled top so its outside edge is perfectly flush and its corners match the frame exactly. Don't overdrive the pocket hole screws.
Tools: Brad Nailer, Pocket Hole Jig. Materials: 1x12, 10 ft, Pocket hole screws, 1-1/4", coarse thread, Brad nails, 1-1/4", Wood glue
Drill pocket holes along both edges of the two side pieces, avoiding the area where the bottom shelf will attach. Attach the sides to the face frame, carefully matching the outside edges. Attach the 1x12 corners together with 1-1/4" brad nails and glue.
Tools: Drill / Driver, Pocket Hole Jig. Materials: 1x12, 10 ft, Pocket hole screws, 1-1/4", coarse thread
Drill 3/4" pocket holes along all four sides of the bottom shelf and attach to the face frame and sides with 1-1/4" pocket hole screws.
Tools: Drill / Driver. Materials: Pocket hole screws, 1-1/4", coarse thread
Flip the assembly over and attach the second face frame with 1-1/4" pocket hole screws.
Tools: Brad Nailer, Pocket Hole Jig, Random Orbit Sander. Materials: 1x12, 10 ft, Pocket hole screws, 1-1/4", coarse thread, Brad nails, 1-1/4", Sandpaper, 120 grit
Place the inside side panels inside the legs and attach with 1-1/4" brad nails, plus a few pocket screws driven up through the bottom into the inside panels' bottom edge for extra rigidity. Sand and finish.
