Divide the table top and cut the removable leafs. Determine how many leafs you wish to have. Draw a thin, straight pencil line for each cut line for the leaf panels. Using the skill saw, accurately cut the leaf panels free from the greater table surface.
Assemble the apron frame and attach the frame to the table posts using the leg to skirt hardware. Cut the skirt frame width to 4 inches narrower than the overall table top surface width. Cut the skirt frame length to 4 inches shorter than the shortest desired adjustable table top surface length. Cut the length side skirt planks directly in half; when the completed table is in its shortest position, these planks will be touching and separated when adjusted out.
Sand all table pieces incrementally from 80- to 220-grit smoothness.
Place the table with the top surfaces down on a clean sheet of cardboard; do not include the leaf planks at this time. Align and attach the table leg and apron frame to the table top segments. Install the adjustable table leaf hardware.
Apply wood stain and lacquer to suit the overall design theme.
