Make side frames

-
attach long aprons
Attach the long aprons and create the table frame.
-
Attach bottom support
Attach the bottom long support. This is 7.75" from the side of the leg.
-
Attach table supports
Attach the table top supports. I attached these 11" from each end.
-
Assemble table top slats
Assemble the table top slats onto the frame. I used 1.5" overhang on both sides of the slats. The first slat was attached flush on the inside edge of the long apron giving a 1" overhang in the front of the table. I used a yard stick which was about 1/4" thick as a spacer between the slats.
