Build a portable job-site table 💪 #build #diy #carpentry

What happens here

Begin by preparing the wooden legs for the work table's X-frame base. Using a measuring tape, mark the desired length on two wood planks. Then, using a miter saw, cut these planks to the appropriate length, likely with angled ends to form the 'X' shape. After the initial cuts, use a jigsaw to round the top ends of these planks. The video shows two planks being cut for the initial legs.

Goal: Prepare the primary wooden leg pieces for the table's base.
