  • Pocket Holes for Shelf

    Using the Kreg jig pocket-hole jig, drill two holes on one of the legs, evenly spaced apart. Holes should follow the grain.

  • Pocket Holes for Second Leg

    Repeat for both legs.

  • Glue Edges

    Glue the ends of the legs where the holes are and the ends of one of the faces of the top shelf.

  • Screw in Legs

    Using Kreg jig screws attach legs to the top plate. Be sure the screw holes are faced towards the center of the shelf.

  • Prepare for final finish

    Use Kreg Jig plugs and glue to fill in the screw holes then once dry, sand all surfaces flat and smooth.

  • Finish Wood

    Apply paint or stain based on your preference. We used pickling stain with a polyurethane coat to lighten the color of the pine.
