Instructions: Small Wooden Manger

Items Needed:

• Pre-cut Wood Pieces (4 legs, 2 manger sides, 2 cross pieces)
• 16 Nails
• Hammer (not included)

STEP 1: Lay one manger side down, with angled edge on the table and closest to the notches in the leg pieces.  Nail two leg pieces in place, being careful not to hammer to hard.  A smaller hammer may make this easier.    **MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING THE PRE-DRILLED PILOT HOLES OR YOUR MANGER PIECES MAY SPLIT**

STEP 2: Using notches in leg pieces, slide the remaining 2 leg pieces on creating an "X" with the leg pieces on both sides.

STEP 3: Slide remaining manger side piece into place, matching up the angles.  Lay it down on the table and line up the leg pieces with the edge of the manger.

STEP 4: Nail legs into place.  Your manger should now look like the picture on the right.

STEP 5: Using 2 nails on each end, attach cross pieces to both sides of the manger.  If desired, you can sand away the edges of your cross pieces to create angles on the ends (see picture below).  

Enjoy your Small Wooden Manger!
