Steps to make a Tabouret Stand

Measure 2 1/8 from each corner. Connect the lines for a 3" - 45 degree angle

Make sure the drill bit is smaller than the diameter of a screw.

Use a 3/8" forstner bit and go in as deep as the drill head. DO NOT DRILL THROUGH LEG!

Make sure you still see the pencil line. If you cut on the line, the joint will not be snug!

Trace onto the matching piece.

Gently use a mallet to match the rails. No glue should be needed if you cut them correctly.

The center of the rail will be 6" off the ground. Measure 3/4" from the center up and down for guide holes.

Trace where the rail should go.

Use a wood clamp and a scrap piece of decorative hardwood to make your plugs.

Make sure the drill speed is slow when cutting plugs!

Use a flat head screwdriver to remove plugs.

Use a tiny bit of glue and tap the plugs in the holes AFTER you drill all 16 screws in.

Use a bar clamp with a spacer under the top to make sure you screw your legs on square.

Use a clamp to assemble the bottom bars.
