I recommend checking board thickness. For example, 1 x 3 boards are usually ¾ x 2 ½. I also
recommend double checking that cuts fit perfectly together as you build. Dimensional
lumber sizes can vary slightly, which can make a big difference in a build like this!

Safety first! Remember to wear a mask, eye, and ear protection while cutting and sanding
wood. Do not use any tools without proper training, precautions, and/or supervision.
Please read through the entire plan before beginning. Read my full terms of use here.
STEP 1.
Cut pieces according to cut list and drill pocket holes as follows:
(2) horizontal pocket holes on the ends of each D piece
(2) horizontal pocket holes on the ends of the J piece
(2) horizontal pocket holes on the end of each H and I pieces
(3) vertical pocket holes in each H and I pieces

STEP 2.
Drill screws through pocket holes to form a frame using the C and D
pieces. Glue piece E in the center of the frame flush with the bottom.
Piece E is only serving as a spacer right now.

STEP 3.
Create two frames by gluing pieces (2) A pieces and (2) B pieces
together. The A pieces should cap off the B pieces. Once dry, glue these
frames into place flush with the bottom of the main frame. Reinforce
using a hammer and small nails.

STEP 4.
Glue the F and G pieces on top of the main frame flush with the
perimeter of the frame.

STEP 5.
Create the base by assembling the bottom frame and legs. Drill screws
through the horizontal pocket holes on the ends of the H and I pieces
into each leg (K pieces).

STEP 6.
Flip the assembled top frame upside down. Attach the base to it by
drilling screws through the vertical pocket holes on the H and I pieces
(red arrow) up into the bottom of the top frame.
Place the J support piece under the spacer (piece E) you glued into the
top frame in step 2. Attach J using screws through the four pocket
holes; see red circle below.

STEP 7.
Cut piece K. Use a drill and a 5/8" spade bit to drill a finger-pull hole on
one end. Set it down into the table's top frame to ensure it fits; sand
edges down as necessary for a good fit.
