Looks easy, but I don't have the room to construct it.

I watched the DVD at home and followed the list when I bought the hardware. As pointed out in previous comments, the angle braces need to be 66" long not 48". In addition, you need twice as many bolts, washers and nuts. Directions to get the table and train layout started, too bad there are these two small errors.

@bennyg11111 cheers

@bennyg11111 Ah! I wish I saw this forst. I'm just about finished following this video and came across the same problem. I moved my legs inside to another corossbeam of the table and the 48" work, but I need to got to the hardware store for 4 more bolts, wing nuts, etc to finish it. Hopefully the positions of the legs won't make it too narrow of a base - but at least I can readjust it of I need to.

This was a very good video and I was able to follow easily. The braces do need to be much longer than 48". That was my only issue.

[MsFreighttrain]

this video has parts on it that do things very hard work, the legs for example... wooden beams is what i use on my layout for the legs

[sigzor85]

I think it's alot simpler tp put cross braces across instead of at an angle, because I agree with the other poster they got to be longer than 48 inches. And if you need to access the table from under you can just remove the top cross brace instead both braces from 1 side.

[sigzor85]

@sigzor85 My mistake. You must place the cross braces at an angle just like video shows for strong stability.

I just put my layout on milk crates, then if it has to be moved or sold it can be turned on its side and carried out. See Train Set 2 and Hortmanville Train Set 3.

I have a question about the cross braces.

It says they're supposed to be 48 inches long. But the distance between the two sets of legs is longer than 48 inches, isn't it? By my math it's 64 inches. So the cross braces, if they are at an angle, would have to be even longer.

This was an excellent video, thank you! I agree however, the only issue I had building my table from this video was the 48 inch molding, it is much longer than that. But again, thanks again for the video!

Thanks so much for posting! Extremely helpful.
