- Wood saw

Steps to Take
- Measure – Measure out the top and sides of the table. Cut the pieces of wood to size.

- Drill – Use the drill to make several holes in the side pieces. These will be used to attach the legs.
- Glue – Apply wood glue to the notches you cut and attach the side pieces. Let the glue dry for at least 24 hours.
- Screw – Use the screws to attach the legs to the sides. Make sure you pre-drill the holes.
- Sandpaper – Once the table is assembled, use sandpaper to make sure all the edges are smooth and splinter-free.
