Directions

Step One
Cut the top boards about 2” longer than you need. Set your Pocket hole jig to 3/4” and the stop collar on the drill bit to 3/4”. Drill pocket holes on the backside of the boards, then glue and join them together using 1 1/4” pocket hole screws.

Step Two
Cut the top to size with the Kreg Jig Track saw.
-
Step Three
Cut the legs about 2” longer than you need. Pocket hole and glue them together like you did the top.

Step Four
Cut the legs to size with the Kreg Jig Track saw.

Using a template such as a bowl or a cup, trace it on both sides of the top. This will be the template for your oval shape. Cut out the shape with a jigsaw.

Repeat this same process on the legs.

Step Seven
Optional step: Use 1/4” roundover bit to roundover all sides of the top and legs.

Trace the shape of the wireless charger on the underside of the table top. Mark 1/2” depth on the forstner bit using tape. Drill in the center until you reach the tape.

Step Nine
With your router and upcut spiral bit, make shallow passes until you reach the same depth as the bottom of the hole you made with the forstner bit.

step Ten
Using double sided tape, push your wireless charger into the hole you made. Make sure to test to see if your phone charges.

Step Eleven
Attach the top support between the two oval shapes you made for the legs using pocket holes and screws.

Attach the middle support about 10” up from the bottom of the legs using pocket holes and screws.
