data-sheets-value="{"1":2,"2":"Corner Plates"}" Étape 3 - Table Construction - Legs Tools XX Socket Wrench Screwdriver Parts 4x 8080*600mm 2x 8080*1200mm 4x Side Plates 32x T nuts 32x Washers 32x M8x16mm Bolts Steps Lay one 1200mm beam horizontally in your workspace. Add a 600mm beam perpendicular at each end, forming a staple shape. (see image 5 for final shape reference) Using 8 total washers, slide 2 at a time into each rail at the corner, approximating the hole pattern on the side plates. (image 2) Using a screwdriver to position the T-nuts, add an M8x16 Bolt and washer through the side plate into each T nut. (images 3 and 4) Secure with a socket wrench. Repeat on the other side of the 1200mm beam. You now have a staple shape. Repeat. Étape 4 - Table Construction - Side Joints Tools XX Socket Wrench Screwdriver Parts 2x 8080*520mm 4x Corner Plates 40x T nuts 32x Washers 32x M8x16mm Bolts Steps Stand one leg unit upward, so you can see down the 1200mm section. Slide 4 T-nuts total (2 in each rail) up to the corner joint. (image 2) SPECIAL STEP: on the 1200mm beam, opposite side from where the side plate was installed - Slide 2 nuts into each of the rails. These will be used in a future step. Repeat on the other 1200mm beam. Attach the side plate (image 3) using 4 M8x16 Bolts with 4 washers. NOTE: the 45° side should face the "bottom" of the eventual table. Repeat on the remaining three 600mm legs. NOTE: ensure that each corner plate mirrors each other across the 1200mm beam axis. They should be facing the same direction and away from the side plate from the previous step. Slide 8 total T-nuts into a 520mm beam. They should be split in half, 4 at one end, and 4 at the other. (Image 4) Combine the two "staple" sections by adding the 520mm beam (pre-loaded with T-nuts) using the same M8x16mm, washer combination as before. (image 5) Repeat on the other side. (image 6) You should now have a very solid table base!
