Instructions

Step 1

Trim four 15" legs and eight 18" rails from the L angles. Use painter's tape to mark where you will cut. If cutting brackets with a hacksaw, clamp them to a table to secure while cutting. After cutting, file the ends smooth.
Good to Know
When cutting L angles, be sure to make your cut through the ovals. Wear protective gloves and goggles for safety.

Step 2

Connect one 15" leg to two 18" rails with bolts, lock washers, and nuts, creating one table corner. Do not tighten nuts securely until all pieces are assembled. Continue connecting the legs and rails to create a cube.

Step 3
