Instructions
Step 1
Step 3
Step 4
Then measure the inside (perpendicular to the 1x12 board grains as shown in the diagram) of the frame and cut 1x2s to fit - should be about 29-1/4".
Attach to the inside of the 1x3 frame with glue and 1-1/4" brad nails.
Remove the frame and apply glue between all the 1x12 boards.
Attach the entire frame with glue and 1-1/4" brad nails to the tabletop, with about 1-1/2" on each side overhanging. It will be flush on the cutout ends with the cutout.
NOTE: You will do the same steps to build the bottom frame, but the 1x3s will be substituted for 1x2s. See step 6.
Step 5
Make sure you are on a very level surface.
Attach the 2x6 legs to the top frame through the 1x3s with the 2" screws.
Screw at a slight outward angle, this will keep the coffee table from wobbling.
TIP: I just did one screw for now, then added the second screw after the bottom shelf was attached and I was happy with how the tabletop was postioned.
