(see full directions for helpful tips on lining this up) Attach one of the 18 1/2" brace pieces on the outside of the table legs, 2 1/2" down.Repeat on the other side so all four legs are now attached.(see full directions for helpful pictures) Attach to the bottom frame with nails or screws using the countersink bit. Line up the corners of two 45 degree angle leg pieces in the center on the underside. Turn the top platform on its side so it is standing on the 12 1/2" long side.Attach the 12 1/2" pieces on the ends, lining up the ends so the top is square.Repeat the same process on the other side to attach the other 24" piece to the long side of the platform.(see full directions for tips on how to line this up evenly) Push down while attaching the pieces to get a tight join. Attach a 24" side piece to the platform by either using the brad nailer or drilling holes with the countersink bit and then attaching with screws.Unclamp the top platform and use a scraper and/or sand paper to remove any glue residue that leaked out of the seam.After the 1圆 boards you glued together have been allowed to set for a minimum of one hour, you can assemble the top with the 24" and 12 1/2" 1x3 pieces you cut in step 1.
