Step by Step

Building the Frame...

1. Cut the 1x4 clear pine pieces to length according to the cut list.  Using the 16 & 36 pieces, build a rectangle frame using wood glue & 2˝ - 18 gauge nails.
2. Insert the two 14½˝ support pieces and evenly space them in the opening.  Attach them using wood glue & 2” – 18 gauge nails.
3. Attach the 1½˝ x 1½˝ x 18˝ legs to the inside corners of the frame using wood glue and 2˝ wood screws.  Keep the top of the legs flush to the top edge of the frame.
4. Place the 17˝ x 37˝ table top base on top of the frame and center it.  Nail it into the frame thru the top using the 18 gauge nail gun W/ 2˝ nails.
5. Wood putty, sand & stain the frame.
   

Building the Hockey Stick Table Top...

1. Line up and glue the hockey sticks one by one.  Alternate the hockey sticks as you go – blade, cut end, blade, cut end, etc.  The blades should be pointing up.  Use the 18 gauge nail gun and tack them as you go to avoid using clamps. Note:  Use enough hockey sticks to get a width of 18˝.
2. Attach the hockey stick table top to the table top base.  Center the hockey stick table top onto the MDF base and screw it in from underneath.  Use 1¼˝ wood screws to attach the table top.
   

ENJOY.
