Dry Bar Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Select a piece of 2" nominal stock (1-3/4" actual) from which to make the four legs (A).

2. Cut each leg to 1-5/8" square by 24-3/4" long.

3. Lay out and mark the location of the three mortises for each leg: one for the side apron (B) tenon, one for the front or back apron (C) tenon, and one for the side stretcher (D) tenon. NOTE: Each mortise is centered along the width of the leg.

4. Use a sharp chisel to chop out the mortises.

5. Use a yardstick or long straight edge to mark a tapered bevel (1/8" wide at the top; 5/8" wide at the bottom) on the entire length of each corner.

6. Use a hand plane to remove the bevel stock.

7. Select a piece of 3/4" stock from which to make the two side aprons (B) and the front and back aprons (C). NOTE: Except for length, both pieces are identical (see Figure 1).

8. Cut each piece to 2-1/4" wide and to the correct length shown in the bill of materials.

9. Equip the table saw with a dadohead cutter.

10. Mark the 1-1/8" tenon length on each end of the aprons.

11. Adjust the dado-head to make a 1/8" deep cut.

12. Hold the stock against the miter gauge, face side down.
