Are the cuts 52 degrees for the large version just like the coffee table? We had trouble with the 52 degrees on the coffee table because our saw only cuts up to 45 degrees

Try a hand saw- mark your angle by holding it up to the piece and then with a hand saw, cut on the mark.

Hi Ana! What are the angles…
Hi Ana! What are the angles of the X's for the small and large end tables? I completed the farmhouse coffee table project where the angles were 52 degrees in the instructions, but I can't seem to find them for the end tables. Thanks!

rustic end table
Ana; I made the Farmhouse Rustic table, now making the small end table. For the table, the x's were placed in the ends of the table after it was assembled. For the end table, directions say install the x's first, then put the frame tougher. Why the change? tks dan
