I bought the green plates from amazon. I bought 4 in a lot and thinking they were 10" square. Glued down with liquid mail.

No plans unfortunately. I went to Lowes and bought 2 oak- 2x2x30 and simply cut them in half to make the legs. For the top, i bought a 3/4" x 24" x 24" square oak plywood piece which they sell. I used the Kreg banding technique to cover the edges of the oak plywood using 3/4 x 2 x 10' which i cut to length. I also used the latter to support the legs. The oak and screws were just under $100 and the green plates were about $25 if i remember correctly. I have made 2 now and my grandkids love them. I used a plunge router to round over all the edges so they wouldnt catch a splinter. You can make cheaper with pine but wanted them to be a keepsake so made of oak. They are strong like a tank and should last forever.

Hope this helps!

Do you happen to have a set of plans for this table? The only base I could find were 12"x12" and they were gray. Where did you find the green ones? Thanks
