Always Pre-Drill and Counter Sink for the most professional appearance. If you will need to disassemble this at any point don't use wood glue, however, using wood glue and clamps will help you keep your boards together while pre-drilling, counter sinking, and fastening. Join Boards with a Pocket Hole system whenever possible, be sure to place your pocket holes out of site because they will leave quite a hole to fill. Check for Square after EACH step. It will really matter in this project. Adhere to all safety standards and precautions.

Steps:

Attach the Outside Cross Bars and outside legs: Kreg Owners, use your 1 1/2” setting and your 2/12” PHS. these cross bars are the trickiest portion of this plan, if you aren't using a Kreg Jig. You will need to attach them to the Bases by fastening them from a spot near where the connection will be formed. You will fasten from the outside edges of each Cross Bar, inward at an angle into your Base (forming an X shape with your screws when they are both fastened).

Attach the Center Legs to their Bases and attach the Center Cross Bar: Use 3" Screws or 2 1/2” PHS set for 1 1/2” stock.

Build your Table Frame: Kreg Owners, Use your Pocket Hole system to fasten the frame pieces to each other, and then attach to each leg using 2 1/2" PHS. Otherwise, attach the frame pieces together using 2 1/2" Screws and then fasten to the Legs. This frame serves the purpose of providing something to attach your table top to, without visible screw holes.

Trim out the Table Top: Use 2" Finish Nails to attach. if you have trouble with this (because you don't have a finish nail gun and doing it by hand is hard) you can also use your 1 1/4" Screws, just be strategic in where you place them, counter sink , and how many you use along each edge.

** Optional - for a very polished appearance you can miter the corners of your trim pieces...

Attach your Table Top: Use 1 1/4" Screws and fasten to the frame from underneath, all the way around. No visible screw holes...

Fill any VISIBLE Screws Holes OR visible POCKET HOLES, THEN

Sand, AND FINISH AS desired.
