Great project! I need to make something like this myself! The simplest way to cut that hole would probably have been a holesaw drill bit rather than manually trying to cut around it... You would have had a perfect little circle, and they're pretty cheap to buy.
Great project idea! But what didn't you also cut out those same notches you made for the outer legs...on the middle two legs. I feel like that might damage the moldings you just installed also...
Thanks! Yeah, I should have pointed that out. When I dry fit the cut-out notches on the end pieces, I realized that everything was sitting pretty flush since the wood was pretty bowed. I got the cheap stuff for this lol. But definitely something you should do if you're not able to get it sitting flush.

But that would mean I would have had to be patient enough to wait to buy the holesaw drill bit LOL. Patience is not my strong suit :)
@@ByBrittanyG Haha, I can totally understand that!
Great idea! Now I want one, too.😊
Go for it! Great weekend project.

Nice pocket hole jig! I need one, and a chopsaw. Circular saws leave too much room for error in my opinion
Yes, I far prefer a chopsaw! Whenever a project needs a circular saw, I make my husband take it lol.
What size of lumber did you use
1x6!
