In reply to Andrea.

Hmm, would a pilot hole help? Maybe before screwing them together making a small pilot hole will keep them from twisting and lifting?

Instead of using four rows of 1 x 4’s, I used two rows of 1 x 6’s with 1 x 3’s for the boarder. I have an issue though when screwing the 1 x 6’s together where some of the boards twist/lift and then I have one corner of a board that is higher than the others. Any suggestions for how to prevent this?

Thanks!

Yes, that would really help join them cleanly and you can sand it so it’s nice and smooth.

Are you able to get the boards smooth when you use the kreg jig? I know just enough to be dangerous and now I am getting myself in a little deep.

I smile having a hard time finding a couch I love, and I love yours.

In reply to Erik.

It has been a while now but I believe we used long screws up through from the bottom of the console bases into the tabletop to catch the wood top and secure it without going through (make sure they’re long enough to catch it but not so long that they poke through).
