How to make it
Safety
Finish the wood in fresh air and let it cure a full day before using it.
1Sand the board
Sand with 120 grit, then 220. Round the corners a little so they don't bite your wrists.
2Finish the wood
Wipe on stain or brush on paint. Let it dry for the time on the can.
3Seal it
Brush on 2 thin coats of clear finish. Sand lightly with 220 between coats.
4Mark the plates
Flip the board. Mark a spot 1 in in from each corner.
5Screw on the plates
Center each plate on your mark. Drive the small screws in with a screwdriver.
6Twist on the legs
Screw each leg into its plate. Flip it over and check that it doesn't rock.
Edie's tipAsk the store to cut the board to length. Most home centers do it free.
