When creating a children's table with your own hands, drawings and diagrams can be taken already ready. You can find them on construction sites or forums.

We offer you the general scheme of the work:

• Given the height of saw off the legs. If they narrow to the bottom, then you can pencil them. This should be done in such a way that the future table is strong enough and stable.
• Prepared legs are attached to the elements of the power frame with the help of end mills. During assembly, it is necessary to mark out the seats for grooves, then combine the paired elements.
• Further - in the marked place it is necessary to drill not through a hole.

Important! The depth of the hole must be one-third the thickness of the workpiece, and the diameter - the thickness of the future groove.

• The workpieces of the legs must be alternately clamped in the clamp and the maximum possible selection of the wood by the end mill. It must be done carefully until a smooth groove of the correct size is obtained. As a result, you will have 8 grooves on 4 legs.
• With the help of the ruler it is necessary to measure the dimensions of the groove and make the appropriate marking on the bars for the power frame.
• Using a carpentry knife and a hacksaw, you need to adjust the ends of the power frame, while creating "spikes" that will easily fit into the grooves of the legs.
• At the end, you need to make a test assembly of all the elements.

Important! During the control assembly, you have the opportunity to make changes and adjustments to ensure that the table does not turn out to be unstable.

• The final assembly should be carried out in the same manner as the control assembly, only after first coating the fastenings with special furniture glue.
• After all is dry, it is necessary to fix the table top. To do this, in the center of the legs you need to drill a hole for the furniture pin. And on the back of the countertops are blind holes.
