Step-by-step Instructions
Step 1
Tabletop If you have a Kreg Jig™, you can join all your boards together first. Otherwise, lay your 1×6 boards on a flat surface, measure the width and cut 2x2s to match. Glue and screw the 2x2 under supports to the bottom using the shorter screws. Check for square and keep outside edges flush.
Step 2
Measure and cut the side aprons from 2x4s. Attach so the side aprons are flush on the top and ends, but will overextend the 2x2s on the bottom. This is fine. Use the longer screws.
Step 3
Legs - Attach the legs with the longer screws, using a square to make sure the legs are square to the table when you attach. Attach to the apron with two screws. Then attach from the inside with more screws through the 2x2 supports.
Step 4
Leg Side Arons = Finally, glue and screw the legs side aprons on with the longer screws.
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.
