Steps:
1) Start with 3 Tees and 2 8" nipples. You'll connect them in the following order (T, 8", T, 8", T). Tighten all of the pieces very well. You'll want to tighten everything as you go.
2) Repeat step 1.
3) Add flanges
4) Flip it over
5) Add 30" nipples then add flanges
6) Lay the butcher block on a flat surface and set your base on it. Measure to ensure its even on all 4 sides.
7) Insert screws into flange to attach to butcher block. If pre-drilling: drill holes first then insert screws. I like to pre-dill whenever possible to prevent the wood from cracking and splitting.
8) Flip it over and you're done!
