Step-by-step instruction
We make preparations. In order for the whole process to go quickly and easily, it is necessary to initially make blanks for the future product. Cut a rectangle of the required size from a furniture panel - this will be a tabletop with dimensions of 600 by 400 mm. Clean all sides of the part with sandpaper.
Now you need to implement the limiters. For the front and rear sections the size is 620 mm, for the side sections - 400 mm. As for the height, it is greater than the height of the tabletop. Cut out the components of the box, these are four blanks. Make the legs - these are four pieces 245 mm long.
Installation of sides. After you have completed all the preparations, you can proceed to the stage of assembling the structure. Using nails and a hammer, attach the edges to the tabletop; they should protrude slightly above it. Use a punch to drive the nails into place.
Collecting the box. PVA glue is suitable at this stage. It is necessary to connect four blanks into one structure. To do this, coat the joints with glue and connect. If possible, clamp the parts together using clamps and leave to dry.
Gluing the box. Place the box symmetrically on the back surface of your table. Glue with glue and also leave to dry well.
Attaching the legs. When all the previously glued parts have dried thoroughly, you can move on to the stage of securing the legs. To do this, it is necessary to make holes for fastening in four blanks. Fastening to the box is carried out using screws.
IMPORTANT.The length of the screws should be no more than 35 mm, otherwise they may come out from the opposite side.
The final stage is finishing.
When your design is ready, you need to process it with sandpaper. Cover the table with varnish.
