Directions {Table Base}
Attach the 1"x4"s to the legs using pocket hole screws and wood glue, offsetting 3/8" back from the front/sides of the leg tops.
Assembling the table is easiest done on the floor or work bench if you have one large enough. I recommend assembling the table upside down, as shown in the
Depending on the finish of the bottom and table top, paint or stain the legs and apron.
Directions {Tabletop}
On the first board you are attaching the tabletop, determine the top of the board and then flip it over. Mark the board using the drawing below. You need a mark 2" from the end and 1" from the side. Flip board back over and place it on top of the table matching up the marks with the top corner of the table legs.
If using ship lap barn boards, secure the board to the top with brad nails.
Contuine attachign all boards with brad nails until all boards are attached. I did have some boards that were slightly warped, as is expected with barn boards. Really big clamps came in handy to help straighten them out. I also had some boards that did not want to stay down with brad nails so I went under the table and drilled in some pocket holes which helped pull the board down and secure it better.
If you are not using ship lap barn boards, attach all boards using pocket hole screws, then attach top to the bottom using pocket hole screws.
A hand planer (or larger planar) really helps in starting to get the boards all level. If you don"t have a planar, a belt sander will work. It just might take you longer. Plane and sand the boards until all smooth. Apply stain and poly (or paint). Read how we finished our tabletop here.
Host a dinner party and enjoy your fancy new table!
