Construction

Make the legs 26 inches long. Remove one side from four of the boxes. Lay one of these boxes on the floor, cover side up, and place a second box upon it, having their open sides facing the same way. Match their edges and nail them together. Do the same with the other two boxes. Turn them on their sides, the open compartment down. Remove the covers from the two remaining boxes and fasten one partition in each, lengthwise of the box. Fit and nail in the shelves. Place one box on its side upon the pair, with its open compartment facing the same way as the ends of the pair. Match their edges and nail to the pair, keeping the edges even with the outside face of the adjoining ends. Place and nail the other box at the other ends, having its open compartment facing the same way as the other ends of the pair, or directly opposite that of the other box having shelves. There will be a small space between the side compartment boxes which will be hidden by the top. Upon the last two boxes place the other pair, with their open sides facing up, and nail them to the others. Nail on the legs, also the facing strip legs, allowing their inner edges to project 1/2 inch over the inner side faces of the shelved compartments. Nail on the horizontal facing strips between the facing strip legs and the corner legs. Each end of the table has two open compartments. Both sides are also alike, each having a shelved compartment as shown. Fit and nail on the top, allowing an even projection of 2% inches over the outside face of the leg on all sides.
