Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Measure and cut the lumbers

  • Determine the height of your table and subtract the thickness of your tabletop from this measurement. This will be the length of your table legs. Measure and mark this length on 04 pieces of 2x4s for the posts. Use a saw to cut the 2x4s to the appropriate length (for example 29 inches). ①
  • Continue to measure and cut the other 02 angled top pieces (45 degrees at both ends). They will be the top supports of your table legs (you can cut them 28 inches in length). ②
  • Cut 02 more pieces to 28 inches in length. they will be the bottom supports of your table legs③
  • Next, you will need 8 pieces of supports (12 inches) which are 45 degrees angle at both ends. ④

Step 2: Sand the 2x4s

After cutting the 2x4s, use sandpaper to smooth the rough edges. This will prevent any splinters and will also make the legs look more finished.
