Deductive 1: DIY a console table

My dear homestay mother bought a console table for my basement. How nice she is!! However, until now, it is still on the paper. : ( How to make it reality? I feel very excited!!

First, I checked every part and hardware of the table according to the illustration. In this case, there are six parts and five hardware in all. Try to be familiar with them! They are essential elements.


① Parts list:
A = top
B = leg
C = glider
D = drawer front
E = drawer back
F = drawer 2 side
G = drawer bottom


② Hardware list
1 = knob
2 = bolt for knob
3 = screw
4 = bolt and washer
5 = wrench



Second, it was high time to turn over the illustration pamphlet to obey the assembly steps.

① I assembled the bolt and washer and used the wrench to make four legs tight. Although this procedure needed strength, it was easy. I repeated such a process four times.


② I found the part C, in effect, a glider and manipulated two of screws to tighten it in the middle of the table top. At that time, I finished step1.


③ Now, I was caught with the most difficult task – setting up the drawer. This work needed four screws; however, it is hard to screw them correspond to the holes! They are easy to twist. Aside from this difficulty, I lacked helpers to hold the draw side. Thus, I had to try many times until two bubbles came out to my thumb and fist finger.

④ I inserted the bottom into the half-finished drawer and closed its back. All of the above work was step 2. Step 3 demanded me to screw the knob compatible to its bolt. It was another test for my acuteness. After trial and error, I made it!

Last but not least, I needed to put the drawer into the console table and made some decoration for it. Here it is!


The whole process looked like a deduction since the model, or the "conclusion" had been given at the beginning. : ) What I did was to follow the steps to "prove" it. En… it brought a sense of achievement to me. I enjoyed the deduction!
