Chess table "Instruc-table"

Step 2 Shaping the table

In this step, you will define the table's definitive shape and sturdiness.

You don't have to follow the exact same steps as I did, just make sure the result looks nice to you, and is sturdy enough.

For my table, I:
- Opened the box, which consisted in two halves: a cover (upper part) and the lower part

- Turned upside down the lower part, and tucked it in the upper part (see pictures)

- Traced on each side of the table the shape I wanted to remove.
The remaining cardboard (the table's legs) should be large enough, since it will support the whole structure.

- Cut out the shapes with an X-Acto knife or similar cutting tool.
Keep in mind that you have two layers of cardboard to cut through (upper and lower part of the box). If it's too difficult, you can cut each half of the box separately.

Note: If the two halves don't align very well, don't worry, this can be corrected in the following steps.
The important thing is that once the shapes cut out, your table remains stable, and is horizontal.
If it isn't adjust the appropriate feet.
