Instructions

    • 1

      Lay your piece of plywood on two sawhorses so you can work around the plywood from all sides.

    • 2

      Mark lines on the plywood from opposite corners. The two marks will meet in the center of the piece of plywood. This point becomes the center of the table.

    • 3

      Drill a 1/8-inch hole in the end of the straight edge at a distance of one half the diameter of your table.

    • 4

      Place a nail in the end of the straight edge and tap it into the center of the plywood. This will give the straight edge a pivot point to lay out the round top.

    • 5

      Place the pencil in the other hole and mark the plywood by rotating the straight edge around 360 degrees. This will outline the round table top.

    • 6

      Cut the plywood with the jig saw slightly larger than the outline.

    • 7

      Carefully take off the excess wood with a belt sander. Use a medium grit sandpaper belt to avoid taking off too much wood and causing the table top to end up out of round.
