I used nails & glue to attach the legs to the runners (the 4 sides of aprons). I used screws on the interior into the aprons and legs. I used glue and nails to hold the cross braces. I used screws on the underside into the cross braces and table top pieces. Hope that clarifies it for you. Feel free to ask any more questions. <br />I actually built a second version of this table I have yet to blog about(it is a huge dining room table & I built it in the same way and it is very sturdy even with a really heavy top).Deux Maisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00247886260315575843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468106837472468498.post-46644226206026052522011-08-08T10:37:50.540-04:002011-08-08T10:37:50.540-04:00Great job!!

Ana says to use 1 1/4″ and 2″ Finish Nails, 2″ Wood Screws (about 100), 2 1/2″ Wood Screws (about 20 screws)... but doesn't say when and where to use them all. I'm making this for an office desk and want to make sure it's going to hold up. Did you just use nails? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Next, I painted them with a plain old white latex paint I had laying around. 3rd I sanded off the paint where the wax was - light sanding with fine grit paper and a couple of passes with course grit as well. Lastly I hand rubbed Briwax finishing wax in Rustic Pine color all over (it junks up the white just enough to give it a nice used patina and darkens up the fresh wood). The same Briwax is what I used on the top.Deux Maisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00247886260315575843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468106837472468498.post-67634356648045631222011-03-26T21:53:17.940-04:002011-03-26T21:53:17.940-04:00Your desk is beautiful! what is the finish on the ...Your desk is beautiful! what is the finish on the legs?katihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14974470832752729095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468106837472468498.post-10851499549556287792010-08-22T10:33:59.284-04:002010-08-22T10:33:59.284-04:00MELISSA - You should TOTALLY build one & share...MELISSA - You should TOTALLY build one & share!
