Preparation
- 4 - 2x4 @ 8 feet long (cut longest boards first)
- 5 - 1x4 @ 8 feet long
- 100 - 1-1/4" to 2" long - self tapping exterior screws (look for star bit ones)
- 25 - 2-1/2" long self tapping exterior screws
3 - 2x4 @ 56-1/2" - frame
2 - 2x4 @ 28-3/4" - frame ends
4 - 2x4 @ 29-1/4" - legs
15 - 1x4 @ 31-3/4" - tabletop boards
Instructions
Step 1
Build the frame of the table with the longer screws, two screws per joint.
Adjust for square by taking opposite diagonal measurements and adjusting until the opposite diagonals match.
Step 2
Attach legs to the frame (will be easiest upside down). Multiple screws at an angle into the legs will be stronger than screws straight on.
Step 3
Clamp a straight edge to the outside of the table and lay out the tabletop boards with a 1/2" gap in between. Screw down with the shorter screws.
For the end boards, screw to the end of the frame too - this will add considerable strength to your table.

Would 4x4's be better for the legs?

Anyone know if you screw this through the top of table top or bottom?!?
