Pocket Holes for Second Leg
Repeat for both legs.

Glue the ends of the legs where the holes are and the ends of one of the faces of the top shelf.

Using Kreg jig screws attach legs to the top plate. Be sure the screw holes are faced towards the center of the shelf.
-
Prepare for final finish
Use Kreg Jig plugs and glue to fill in the screw holes then once dry, sand all surfaces flat and smooth.

Finish Wood
