Self-Watering Veggie Table

Step 15: UPDATE: Supports!

This project has definitely needed supports from day one. It is too top heavy to move easily without them, and it's a good idea overall. I debated for several weeks on the best way to make them, and this is what I came up with.

With scrap wood, cute each end at a 45 degree angle. I used different lengths for these pieces.

Make sure to pre-drill your holes and put 3" screws into the supports on the ends first, it makes putting them in place vertically much easier.

I used two screws on each end. I had a helper push the table back into being square(it had shifted a bit) and hold it there while I screwed the supports into the inside of each leg and the 2X4 bottom edge of the table. With just two on the small ends of the table, the difference is significant. I also added one support on the long side of the table.

The table is now more solid, secure and supported than ever before.

PLEASE make sure you do this step!!!
