Now that you have a top, and some legs, all that's left is to put them all together.

It's pretty straightforward; three bolts through the short side of the top into the side of the legs, and two bolts on the long side.  Each bolt does double duty, securing the legs to the body of the table as well as securing the corner bends of the top to itself.

Measure out a slope on the side pieces and mark with a Sharpie as shown in the photo.  Clamp in place, drill through, and tighten up.  Run a level (or in this case, a 2" x 4" with a tiny combo square, because I don't have a long level) across the bottom of the legs to make sure the thing will sit flat when you're done.

Repeat for all four legs.  Flip it over and straight chill.
