Part 2

Assembling the pre-cut boards. These include three 2 x 6's 22" long, One 1 x 6 - 22" long, two 2 x 6's 15-1/2" long, two 2 x 4's 15-1/2 long, and two 2 x 4's 7-1/2" long. (These pieces build 1 table support. You'll need the same number to build a second.)



Measure 4-1/2" in, draw line width of 1 x 6. Then place an X 1-1/2" from each edge for screw placement.



Pre-drill screw holes at the X. Drill bit size must be smaller than screw size or screw will simply slide through.



Screw size must be long enough to attach wood pieces, but not go all the way through. This screw is 2" long. Notice that the 1x6 is on top and the 2x6 is on the bottom. This is for stability.




Four 2" screws are set in. When all 4 are set, re-align wood and finish screwing in.

Part 3

Center 7-1/2" - 2x4 in the middle of the vertical 15-1/2" - 2x6, aligning bottom edge on base. Draw a line around 3 sides for placement, then screw 2x4 in place using two 2" screws.



Side section with 2x4 screwed in.



Drill 4 bottom screw holes through the vertical 2x6.



Place the 2x6 side section vertically and drill through one vertical board in to the horizontal bottom one. Two 3" screws will screw in to the middle of the horizontal 1x6 and two screws will screw in to the middle of the horizontal 2x6.

Part 4

Set 3" screws into side bottom.



Two side sections are now screwed in on the bottom.




Measure from the front to determine the distance down for side screw placement. Screws must go in to the center of the top horizontal 2 x 6. If not, wood will splinter.




Pre-drill top side holes for placement of 3" screws.

Part 5

Top 2 x 6 is now screwed in.



Set 3" screws in pre-drilled holes in back 2 x 4"

DONE!

Worth the wait!

Ahhh yes, finally. See the square on the right with the red stripes . . . believe it or not, that is from the 70's.


It's a good feeling, finishing a big project. Better than chocolate even, and that's saying something.

Until then, keep stitchin' . . .
