    Important Note: Also an Important Note:


    My dimensions are based I’m 6’- 4” tall. Consequently,
    on thicknesses of standard I’ve added 3” to the normal
    2 x 4s. Which most of us “Counter Height”. Make sure
    know to actully be 1.5” x 3.5”. your assembly table fits you.
    Your board thicknesses could But then...that’s what’s so cool
    be different. So measurement about building your own
    carefully and adjust as is stuff...right?
    appropriate.

    STEP 1 LEGS

    These plans are meant to work with my video and cover more of the details I left out of the
    video such as dimensions and cut plans. I’ll try to remind you about important assembly
    tips...like on this page...remember to put the screws in from the back...so they
    don’t show.

    STEP 2 STRETCHERS

    Assemble as shown. Glue and screw all contact surfaces. I used 2 1/2” screws
    Screw from the back side so again...no screw heads show.

    STEP 7 ATTACHING LATCHES

    This is to show suggested


    locations for the latches.
    Most of the pushing of
    the tableswill be on the top
    so placing the latches high
    on the legs will reduce some
    of the torque stresses on
    the latches. Not that I’m
    worried... the latches
    I speced are more than
    strong enough for this.

    BEAR MOUNTAIN BUILDS YOU’RE DONE

    That’s it for the build. I gave the tables a good sanding and then finished it off with

    two coats of polyurathane.
