Cut a notch into the end of the 48 inch board. Make the notch 1 1/2 inches by 1 1/2 inches. Stand that board on its side. Drill two holes through the board, one 2 inches from the long end of the notched end and the other six inches from the same end.

Lay the 48 inch board flat on your work bench. Slide the board so that its end is flush with the edge of the table. Have your assistant hold the board while you center the end of the board on the plywood base. Drive three of your 16d nails through the plywood and into the end of the board to secure the structure.
