TABLETOP FRAME
Build your tabletop frame as shown above using 2″ screws and glue. Check for square.
TABLETOP
Screw down your tabletop boards as shown above. You can use a Kreg Jig™ to screw from the frame into the underside of your tabletop boards to hide screw holes.
LEGS
Add your legs as directed above.
LONG CROSS SUPPORT
Add the long cross support as shown above. You do not need glue if you plan on disassembling the table easily.
Step 5
FINISHING
If you choose to prefinish your table, go around and fill any holes with wood filler or paintable silicone. Sand as needed and apply a finish coat of paint.
Finishing
Sand all surfaces, starting with a medium grit and finishing with fine. Wipe off the dust, fill any holes or gaps with wood filler, and sand smooth once dry. Apply primer if you're painting, then finish with your choice of paint or stain and seal with a durable clear topcoat. For outdoor projects, use exterior-rated primer, paint or stain, and sealer so the piece stands up to the weather.
