Step by step
Preparation
- 01Watch the original source. This estimated adaptation uses a 1000 × 500 mm top, two slab legs and a stretcher; it is not a copy of the creator’s plan.
- 02Measure actual stock thickness. For a 400 mm height, leg length is 400 minus top thickness. Mark leg positions with a 600 mm clear span.
Cutting
- 03Lay out parts on the panel including blade kerf. Cut the top first, then both legs, keeping edges square.
- 04Measure the gap after dry assembly and cut the stretcher to the actual span. Sand edges and remove splinters.
Assembly
- 05Join stretcher to legs with joints and hardware appropriate to stock thickness. Pilot-drill and check screw length; clamp through cure time.
- 06Centre the base and attach the top with slotted brackets to allow seasonal movement. Confirm no screw breaks through the surface.
Finishing
- 07Sand progressively, remove dust and apply finish following its instructions, including the underside.
- 08After curing, test stability on a level floor and recheck joints. Do not sit or stand on the table.
