STEP-BY-STEP

TABLE

The contours of the table as well as the legs are fastened exclusively with metal squares.

J
H

A
H

Leg F

1 Fasten legs ‘F’ under counter ‘A’ using squares. Legs should be 1" from the edge of the counter.
1" 1"

2 Fasten sides ‘H’ and back ‘J’ to counter ‘A’ then to legs using squares. Sides and back
should be 1/4" in from legs. 1/4"

DRAWER MODULE
1/4"
Four supports ‘G’ should be installed in order to screw in the slides supporting the drawers.
Two of these supports need to receive the slides for each side, so they should be offset
to make it easier to screw them on.

7/8" 7/8"
G G

Positioning Positioning

3 Install the slides on short supports ‘G’. They should be 7/8" from the front edge of ‘G’ and 1 5/8" from the lower edge of ‘G’
for the two outer drawers (left and right), and 2 1/8" from the lower edge of ‘G’ for the center drawer.

Remember that the two center ‘G’ supports need a slide on each side: one of the supports will have an outer drawer slide
on the left and a center drawer slide on the right, while the reverse will be true for the other ‘G’ support, which will therefore
have a center drawer slide on the left and an outer drawer slide on the right (see the illustration below).

4 Screw the short ‘G’ supports to the long supports ‘I’ and back ‘J’. The ‘G’ supports with only one track should be installed
on the ends and those with two tracks installed on the inside. ‘G’ supports should be spaced at 20 11/32".

Note: the illustration above shows the module back to front.

DRAWERS

Drawer bottoms should slide into the grooves made in the side, front and back pieces 1/2"

of the drawers.

1/4"
1/8" 3 1/2"
5 Use a router to make grooves 1/4" deep x 1/8" wide and 1/4" in from the edges
of the drawer sides ‘C’ and fronts/backs ‘B’.

6 For each drawer, assemble sides ‘C’ and fronts/backs ‘B’ around bottom ‘D’,
by inserting ‘D’ into the grooves. Screw ‘B’ to ‘C’.

7 Screw facade ‘E’ to front ’B’, on the inside of the drawer.

8 Mark the positioning of the knob screws on the facade, predrill on the markings then screw
in the knob.

9 Screw the tracks on to the drawers 1/8" from the facade and 1 1/4" from the lower edge of the sides
for the outer drawers and 1 3/4" for the center drawer.

INSTALLATION OF DRAWER MODULE

10 Turn the table upside down and insert the drawer module. Position the facade of the module 1/4"
in from the edges of the legs, as was done with the sides and back of the table. Screw it
to the counter and to the legs but not to the sides of the table.

Simply insert the drawers, paint the legs and contours of the table and you’re done. Do not paint, varnish
or stain the top: leave the wood natural in order to eliminate the possibility of food contamination
by finishing products.
