Well, I finished up sanding the various parts with my orbital sander. Now it is time to assemble the shop table. follow the pictures below:
Below: Glue & screw the leg to the bottom unit (the lower shelf).

Below: I used a Clamp-It square from Rockler to insure that the leg was square. If you don’t have one of these, use a square piece of MDF or other 90 degree guide.


Above: The second legs is hooked on…I used my bar clamps to secure the leg while I worked my way around adding screws.
Below: The third leg is attached, getting closer to finishing up…


Above: The fourth leg is added and clamped in place…The top is added next, once again glue & screw it in place.
Below: Special Note – I picked up these 2 1/2” screws from Lowe’s to complete the build. These screws were used on both the legs and the frame sides. I used smaller versions to hold the cleats in place.


Above: The completed table assembly!
Well, as I said before…I need to pick up my casters in order to complete this project. I will follow up as soon as they come and I can finish up.
See you soon, Lockwatcher

Hey Lockwatcher, nice job on the build-a-long. Looking forward to seeing the planer mounted on this cart.
Where are you in Ohio?

Very simple, very cheap, but very sturdy. Great build.
