Step-by-step Instructions

1

Build the basic box with 1-1/4" brad nails and glue.

Attach the 1/4" plywood panel to the bottom with the shorter brad nails. Use the plywood panel to square up the 1x3 frame.

Place the tabletop boards on top.

Line up so there is gaps in between, you can use the hinges to help space out the gaps. Make sure there is a gap in between the 1x10 boards. Once satisfied with the gap placement, carefully remove the 1x10 boards. Use a pencil to trace the placement of the 1x3 boards, as you will need to remove and attach with glue. Remove the 1x3 boards, apply glue and replace. IMPORTANT: Make sure there is a 3/4" overhang on the ends of the 1x3s (where legs will go in next step) on both sides. Use a scrap piece of wood to help you. Nail down with 1-1/4" brad nails. IMPORTANT: Also attach the 1x3 boards to the top with three 1-1/4" screws per 1x3 - as this is the main attachment point for the entire tabletop.

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.
