Instructions
Project is pretty simple once cut. Top tray utilizes a bowl and tray bit which has a flat bottom and round edges. A straight cut bit could be substituted if you don't mind 90deg corners. I cut all pieces first; make sure to check the thickness of your bottom pieces as accurately as possible. I then used the on-tool design to place a rectangle: 1.3" tall x (material thickness) wide over the existing notches, this lets you dial in the exact thickness of your bottom for a friction fit. Using a 1/8" roundover bit on all edges gives a perfect mate to the 1/4" upcut spiral on the inside corners. Once the pieces are cut, glue the legs to the bottom, I did a 1" inside from outside edge to leg. Once glue is set, drill holes in the top of the legs for the dowels. Place the dowel pins in the holes and line up the top panel to best fit your bottom/legs assembly; press down firmly to indent from the dowel pins. Flip the top panel over and drill centered on the dowel pin marks. Finally, I used some cork sticky-back cut to size for the bottom indent.
