content on the dry-erase
tabletop.

markers and an eraser).
1.MAKE THE TABLE LEGS
1a. Cut them from a 10' length
of 3"-ID pipe. It’s best to use
a table saw with a rip fence
and a miter gauge to keep the
slots and pipe ends square
and parallel.

1b. Wrap a measuring tape
around one end of a leg and
put marks at the starting
point and at exactly half the
distance around the leg.
Drill — from the outside, not
straight across — 1" holes
through both sides of the
legs. Then drill straight across
to enlarge both holes to ¼". 1b
1c. Using this technique and
the first leg as a guide, drill
the holes in the other 3 legs.
All holes are 19½" from the
bottom ends.
