completing the Table 5/i6"-ia - THREADED INSERT . To complete the multi-purpose table, you'll first add four legs that fit into the "sockets" in the bottom of the case. You'll also make two trays that slide into the bottom of the case to form a hidden compartment for storing the legs.

This made it safer and easier to cut the rabbet on the edge that wraps around the corner of the case. Then it's an easy task to rip the trim from the blank and cut it to length. A little glue is all you need to fasten the trim pieces to the case. Now you can start to work on the two trays. Lower Trim. With the legs in place, you can work on adding the trim around the case. Figure 5 shows you everything you need to know to do this.
