When cutting plywood, it's best to make long, straight full cuts to conserve plywood and get your straightest cuts. First things first - cut with the grain of the plywood a strip 6" wide and 48" long. Then cut another strip with the grain of the plywood 2 1/2 wide by 48" long. Now from the remainder, cut crosswise for the tabletop, 31 1/2" long by approximately 40" wide. Cut your tabletop from this piece. Then from the remaining pieces, cut your storage bottom and the remaining pieces for the side and apron. Use the cut list for exact dimensions. The above diagram does not take into account saw blade widths - so measure, cut, measure, cut and so on.

From the tabletop board, mark as shown above. I used a string line, but any long straight edge would work. Find the center and measure out 14" along each line and mark as shown in diagram above.

Now simply draw arch shapes between each point, replicating the arch shape. I actually created pattern and used it to draw all of my petals. Once completed, carefully cut out with a jigsaw. Set aside.

Now let's build the table base. Drill two 3/4" pocket holes on each end of each storage side, and attach to legs, flush to insides, with 1 1/4" pocket hole screws. What I like to do is build two leg sets made up of one side and two legs. Then it's a cinch adding the two final sides to create the base.

The aprons are a piece of cake! Just remember to drill a pocket hole facing upward in centers for attaching top in next step.

The top will attach perfectly to the base. Line leg outside corners up with a inside point on flower top, center so all points are equal distance from leg corners, and screw base to tabletop.
