Piano Lid Coffee Table

Step 3 Installing the legs and supports

I am unsure how to explain myself now. I eye balled most of the cuts an mounting plates.

After preping the lid I began working on the leg supports. I layed down the 2x4 an got a good Idea where I want the legs. You need to keep an eye out on where you put your legs, If you put them to far twards the center the table will lean when to much pressure is applied but this is common since. Just keep it balanced.

I marked my 2x4 an cut it.

Next I round off the sharp edges so there not sharp, this isn't needed but It made me feel better.

I plan on putting my leg mount plates on the ends of the supports.

Now I sand an cleaned up the area witch I plan on putting the supports.

I apply glue to the buttom of the supports, wegih them down untill they dry. Then I run screws into them.

The Mounting Plates

These are simple. Just run the screws down in place.
