Bedside Table Project-final assembly

Hi Everyone,

Well time to attach the bottom shelf and top.

This was just a very simple drilling and screwing down of the panels. I used a 3/8" Forstner bit to countersink the screws with and then inserted a 3/8" oak plug on top of each screw to hide it:

I use a plastic mallet and a nail set to tap the plugs into place:

Here's the top and I did the same thing with that. It's firmly screwed into place and can be picked up by the edges of the table top:

And here are photos of the top with stain applied...

And the whole table assembled:

Tomorrow I'll put on the first of several coats of polyurethane and then it will be finished.

Stay tuned,
VW
