Oak and Glass End Table Step-by-Step Instructions1. Cut four pieces of 5/8" stock to 3-1/2" wide by 16" long (Parts A). 2. Set the table saw to a 45-degree angle and locate the rip fence as shown in Figure 1. NOTE: The saw blade must be exactly at 45 degrees because even a small error adds up to a noticeable gap when the four joints are assembled. To check the accuracy of your saw blade angle, first make a test square from scrap stock. Rip four pieces as described below (the length need only be about 6 in.), then dry assemble using elastic bands to hold the four sides together. The joints should meet perfectly; if not, adjust the blade angle and try again. 3. Miter one edge (step A). 4. Turn the stock and miter the other edge (step B). 5. Use glue to attach each mitered surface. 6. Apply three web clamps (one at each end and in the middle) until the glue is thoroughly dry. 7. Set the rip fence of the table saw to cut the stock exactly down the middle. 8. Raise the saw blade to 3/4" high. 9. Hold the stock firmly against the rip fence and make cut number one as shown in fig. 2. 10. Turn the stock over and make cut number 2. 11. Use the rip fence set in the same position to split each of the pieces down the middle. 12. Cut Parts B and C to the dimensions required. NOTE: Cut each piece slightly longer than necessary. 13. Use the table saw to cut a 45-degree miter on each end, cutting them to the correct length. 14. Apply one coat of glue to each mitered end and allow it to soak in. 15. Apply a second coat of glue and attach the four pieces. 16. Use web clamps to hold the pieces together until thoroughly dry. NOTE: Check for square ness of the frame and make adjustments if necessary before the glue dries. 17. Apply glue to the corners of the frame. 18. Use two 1-1/4" long by #8 flat head wood screws (Parts E) to attach the legs to the frame. NOTE: Each screw should be counter bored and covered with wood plugs (Parts F). 19. Cut Parts D to size. |
