Table :

Start by drilling the pocket holes along both sides of the 6 1/4 inch wide board.

then use pocket hole screws and glue to attach the 2 - 8 3/4 inch board to each side. this makes your top.

When the glue dries, sand it all smooth!

Stool :

Simply cut out the 9 3/4 inch by 19 1/4 inch board you will be using for the top.

Step 3 : the Skirts
