Instructions
Step 1
Build the frame for the console, using pocket holes. Use 3/4” pocket holes when ANY 1x material is being joined, and 1-1/2” pocket holes when ONLY 2x material is being joined. Hide pocket holes on undersides and top sides, where will be hidden from sight. Build two identical frames – this is important for drawer slides to work correctly.
Step 2
Drill ¾” pocket holes along side and top edges of ¾” plywood panels and attach to legs, pocket holes on inside, flush to inside of project.
Make sure project is square – cross bracing at corners can be added to further increase strength and stability.
Step 3
Attach bottom aprons with ¾” pocket holes, hiding on back sides and insides.
Step 4
Attach back with nails and wood glue.
Step 5
Step 6
Install drawers with drawer slides, inset ¾” from front of cabinet. Adjust until drawers slide easily.
Step 7
Attach drawer faces to drawer boxes, leaving 1/8” gap around all sides of drawer faces. Secure from inside with 1-1/4” screws.
Step 8
Build top with ¾” pocket holes. Remove drawers and attach tabletop to frame with 1-1/4” screws and wood glue.
