STEP 9
On the the (2) 20-3/4" pieces mark points at 5-1/2" from each side. Line up the middle of the 3" hole saw with the marks and drill the circles through each piece. Sand the inside of each hole to refine the edges. These pieces will be for the cup holders.

STEP 17
Apply wood glue onto to the end of the dowel. Insert the dowel into the 1/2" hole on the leg piece made in step 5. Place all of the wooden beads onto the dowel, then attach the other leg onto the other end of the dowel.
