ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
TOOLS REQUIRED:
Phillips Screwdriver, 5/32" Drill Bit, Drill, Adjustable Wrench or 9/16" & 1/2" Open End or
Box End Wrenches, Hammer, and Wood Glue.
We recommend using a Phillips bit on a variable speed drill.
This will make assembly easier and will eliminate the need for pre-drilling.

TO ATTACH THE FEET TO PEDESTAL:
2) Glue a Dowel (J) into the upper hole in the end of each foot (A).
Screw the Hanger Bolts (G) into the pilot holes in the end of the Feet (A) as shown in FIGURE 2.
Rubbing a little soap on the threads will help them go in more easily.
For the 193W leave approximately 1½" of the Hanger Bolt (G) exposed from the end of the foot.
For the 403W leave approximately 2" of the Hanger Bolt (G) exposed from the end of the foot.
To avoid damaging the threads of the hanger bolt when screwing it in, use a pair of vise grips
on the area where the lag threads and machine threads meet or use the “double nut” method as
shown below.
DOUBLE NUT METHOD
With the “Double Nut” method, you lock two nuts together (turning them in opposite directions)
and then use a 9/16" or adjustable wrench on the outside nut to screw the bolts in.
TO ATTACH TOP SUPPORT TO PEDESTAL:
1) Spread a thin film of glue on top of the Pedestal (B) before attaching the Top Support (C). To
screw the Top Support to the Pedestal, start all four 5/16 x 3" Lag Bolts (E) and Flat Washers (F)
into the Pedestal as shown in FIGURE 1.
Rubbing a little soap on the threads will help the screws go in more easily. Use a 1/2" or adjustable
wrench to tighten the screws firmly. Over-tightening could strip the wood. If you do strip the wood
in the Pedestal, spread some glue on a small wedge of wood or some wooden match sticks and
pound into the stripped hole. Allow this to dry several hours, then tighten the screws solidly.

3) Screw the T-Nut (K) onto the Adjustable
Glides (L) as shown in FIGURE 3. Cover the
bottom of the Glide with a cloth to protect
from damage and lightly hammer them into
the Feet (A). Do not try to pull the Glides out
after you have them in place.

4) Glue Dowels (J) in upper holes and put the Hanger Bolts (G) through the lower holes in the base
of the Pedestal. Put a Curved Washer (H) and 3/8" Hex Nut (I) over the Hanger Bolt and tighten
firmly with a 9/16" box-end or open-end wrench. See FIGURES 4 and 4A.

7) Put the #12 x 2" Pan Head Screws (D) in the holes of the Top Support (C) and tap them lightly
with a hammer to center punch or mark the screw locations on the bottom side of the table top.
NOTE: The use of a variable speed drill with a Phillips bit will speed assembly and eliminate the
need for drilling pilot holes. Apply firm steady pressure on the screw.
8) Move the table base away and use a 5/32" drill bit (or smaller) to drill the eight pilot holes marked
in Step 7 (drilling the pilot holes is not necessary if you are using a variable speed drill with a
Phillips bit). Drill the holes 3/4" deep. To prevent accidentally drilling through the table top, mark
the drill bit with a piece of tape 3/4" from the end.
9) Put the table base back into position and tighten all screws solidly into the table top. Rubbing a
little soap on the threads will help the screws go in more easily.
10) When in the final location, rotate the adjustable glides to level the unit.

SITS AT A 90° ANGLE
TO THE GRAIN OF
THE TABLE TOP
TO ATTACH THE TABLE TOP TO BASE:
5) After finishing all sides of the top, (with a
minimum of one coat of sanding sealer,
varnish, polyurethane, lacquer or the
equivalent) put the table top face down on
a flat surface. Protect the table top with a
piece of carpet or cardboard to prevent
possible marring.
6) Center the base on the top. It is important to
make sure the direction of the wood grain in
the Top Support (C) is placed at a right angle
(opposite) to the direction of the wood grain
of the table top (see FIGURE 6). This will
prevent possible warping of the table top.
