Step-by-step Instructions
Step 1
Follow the directions here to build a round tabletop, using the pattern below for the top, and cutting the 1x6 apron boards to 21-3/4" long point to long point, both ends cut at 22-1/2 degrees, ends not parallel.
Step 2
Build the base with 1-1/2" pocket holes and 2-1/2" pocket hole screws. Make sure the base sits level.
Step 3
An option for attaching the top is to first attach 3/4" scrap wood pieces to the base. Then attach the scrap wood blocks to the underside of the tabletop to secure.
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.
