Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Sand the tabletop and legs thoroughly with 120 grit sandpaper, then finish with 220 grit for smoothness.
2. Position the four legs at each corner on the underside of the tabletop, about 1 inch inset from each edge.
3. Apply wood glue to the top of each leg and clamp them in place under the tabletop.
4. Pre-drill holes through the tabletop into each leg to prevent splitting.
5. Secure the legs with wood screws through the pre-drilled holes.
6. Wipe off any excess glue and let dry according to glue instructions.
7. (Optional) Apply wood stain or paint to the entire table and let dry.
8. (Optional) Apply two coats of clear polyurethane finish for protection, sanding lightly between coats.
9. Allow the table to dry fully before use.
