Step 4Break Out Parts

Break Out Parts
Break out your 6mm panel pieces to form the laminates for the legs. Lucky for me I had a panel saw to do this on. You can use whatever means you have at hand because accuracy is not super important. So use a hand saw, jig saw or circular saw. Cut 10 pieces 1700mm x 480mm, that's 5 for each leg, giving a total leg thickness of 30mm. You only get 2 of these from an 8' x 4' sheet which is very inefficient in material usage, but you have tons of little bits left over to use for jigs.
While you are at it you might as well break out the pieces for the top as well. You will need 2 pieces 1630mm x 700mm from 18mm MDF. Again this is wasteful because you only get one from each 8' x 4' sheet. But you will make use of the scrap for jigs so it's not all that bad really.
