Steps to build the side table
- Cut table sides to size and router decorative groove
- Rout out same groove on top
- Assemble sides and top. Fill screw holes
- Draw out shape for legs and cut out for each leg.
- Sand all four legs together to ensure they are exactly the same
- Drill recess holes for cross slats
- Drill hole for bolts. (if I can figure out how to do it with dowels then we will show that rather)
- Sand and varnish (it’s easier to varnish them all separate and then assemble)
- Attach cross slats
- Attach legs to top
