Now comes the slightly tricky part. Adding the legs. Holding everything in place while you screw the legs on is a bit of a trick. You can steal a few of the ideas from the pictures. Just make sure that  you use 3 screws into the top rail and 2 into each brace(per leg) and don't forget the glue. The glue is where the real strength is.  Pre-drilling the holes helps to make the attaching the legs much much easier.  I usually put one screw in loosely in the top center of the leg, and then use a square to check that the leg is at a right angle to the top rail, and then add the remaining screws. Another thing that i have noticed, once you build one of these, you can use it at a jig to build the second one.
