Step-by-Step Guide: Building the Table Step 1: Prepare the Tabletop Sand the tabletop smooth, starting with a coarser grit sandpaper and working your way to a finer grit. Fill any imperfections with wood filler, let it dry, and sand it smooth again. Step 2: Attach the Table Legs Apply wood glue to the top of each table leg where it will meet the tabletop. Position the legs evenly around the underside of the tabletop. Clamp the legs in place. Step 3: Secure the Legs with Screws Predrill pilot holes through the tabletop and into the legs. Use 2" wood screws to securely attach the legs to the tabletop. Step 4: Finishing the Table Apply primer to the entire table. Let it dry completely. Sand lightly. Apply two coats of paint, allowing each coat to dry thoroughly. If desired, apply a coat of polyurethane for added protection.
Step-by-Step Guide: Building the Chairs Step 1: Prepare the Chair Seat and Legs Sand the chair seat and legs smooth. Step 2: Attach the Chair Legs Apply wood glue to the top of each chair leg where it will meet the underside of the chair seat. Position the legs evenly around the underside of the chair seat, angling them slightly outwards for stability. Clamp the legs in place. Step 3: Secure the Legs with Screws Predrill pilot holes through the chair seat and into the legs. Use 1 1/4" wood screws to securely attach the legs to the chair seat. Step 4: Attach the Back Support Apply wood glue to the bottom of the back support where it will meet the back of the chair seat. Position the back support centered on the back edge of the chair seat. Clamp it in place. Step 5: Secure the Back Support with Screws Predrill pilot holes through the chair seat and into the back support. Use 1 1/4" wood screws to securely attach the back support to the chair seat. Step 6: Finishing the Chairs Apply primer to the entire chair. Let it dry completely. Sand lightly.
