How to Make Frames From 2 x 4s
- 1). Set two 27-inch boards on edge so they are parallel and 24 inches apart. Place two 24-inch boards perpendicularly between them so they're also on edge and 24 inches apart.
- 2). Screw through the sides of the 27-inch boards and into the ends of the 24-inch boards. The corners of this 2-by-4 frame should be flush. Use eight screws for this task.
- 3). Position a 32-inch board perpendicularly inside each corner of the frame. The 4-inch sides of the boards should be flat against the 27-inch boards and their 2-inch sides should be against the 24-inch boards. Screw through the corners of the frame and into the 32-inch boards. These are the legs to your table frame.
- 4). Turn your table frame upright so it is standing on its legs. Your table frame is now ready for its table top or workbench top.
