Cutting Steps

  1. Take 4 of (A) and cut each into the following lengths:
  • Short side (600mm)
  • Slat (556mm)
  • Long slide (1844mm)

You should be left with no waste. and now have 12 cuts total.

  1. Take 2 of (B) and cut each into the following lengths:
  • Short side (top) (600mm)
  • Slat (556mm)
  • Long slide (top) (1844mm)

You should be left with no waste. You'll now have 6 new cuts and now have 18 cuts total.

  1. Take all 2 of (C) and cut equally into:
  • Leg part (900mm)

You should be left with no waste. You'll now have 8 new cuts and now have 26 cuts total.

  1. Take 1 of (A) and cut into:
  • 5 x 556mm (more slats)

You should be left with 220 waste. You'll now have 5 new cuts and now have 31 cuts total.

  1. Take 1 of (A) and cut into:
  • 2 x 556mm (yet more slats)

You should be left with 1888mm which needs cutting down the middle lengthways to create:

  • 2 x 1888mm x 75mm (slat supports). Note: Cutting lengthway doesn't have to be precise.
  1. Take 2 of (B) and cut each end at 45 degrees to make two cuts where the longest side is:
  • 720mm (short side decorative top)
  • 2008mm (long side decorative top)

Building Steps

  1. Screw the leg pairs together

  1. Screw the short sides (3 per side) to a pair of legs twice.

img2

  1. Screw the long sides (3 per side) to the two sides

img3

  1. Turn the table upside down

  2. Take the supports and add the supports directly by the sides. I recommend using a brace to support it against the legs too.

img4

  1. Turn the table back upright

  2. Lay and screw in the 13 slats (11 that are 150mm wide + 2 that are 100mm wide). You'll likely find that the last slat will be about 10mm to wide so you'll have to trim this off.

  1. Screw the decorative tops on. These should hang over the edges by 15mm all around
