Steps
Step 1
Use the diagram to mark the location of the center of the circles to be cut out. These circles will hold the (2) bowls. Use a drafting compass to draw (2) circles that are 5-1/2” in diameter.

Step 2
Drill a 3/8” hole within each circle for the jig saw blade to pass through. Use a jig saw to cut out the (2) 5-1/2” circles.

Step 3
Align (1) 4” leg to the 7-3/4” side stretcher as shown in the diagram. Glue and nail together with a brad nailer. Attach another 4” leg to the other side of the assembly using the same method.

Step 6
Find and mark the center line (CL) of both legs. Then find and mark the center line (CL) of the middle stretcher. Align, then glue them together and use a brad nailer to attach both ends.
