K'nex Table

Hello Viewers,
Today I bring you my second instructable, a K'nex Table. I got the idea of making a K'nex table when seeing Mr Muggles K'nex chair so special thanks to him for his chair being the inspiration to this instructable. I think it compliments well with his chair and is rather sturdy. So lets get to the facts....

Pros:
1) Good looking, looks like a table
2) Useful for basic daily use i.e holding a cup, doing work on...
3) It is durable so if it breaks, it is very easy to fix
4) It can hold up to 150kg and probably more around 175kg+
Cons:
1) Quite small
2) The blue rods may sometimes snap if too much pressure is excerted on it
3) Is quite small (In my opinion) due to lack of pieces

By the way, here is the link to Mr Muggles chair if you haven't already seen it or need a refresh - https://www.instructables.com/id/Knex-Chair/

Also this is for the Rod and Connector Contest (1st July - 12th August 2013) So I would appreciate it if you would vote.
If you manage to build the table, please post a picture of yours in the comment section so I can add it to the last step.

If you need any assistance at all while building, ask in the comment section and I will help the BEST I can!

DISCLAIMER - THE PICTURES THAT YOU SEE ABOVE ARE A BIT DIFFERENT TO THE ONE YOU WILL BE BUILDING AS I HAVE MADE QUITE A FEW CHANGES TO IMPROVE ITS STRENGTH! I WILL BE UPLOADING PICTURES OF THE CHANGES SOON

Anyway so, lets get down to business....

Ok so lets get started by gathering the following:

Note – The pieces are labelled in there classic colours

RODS
Grey – 8
Red – 76
Yellow – 187
Blue – 620

Hurray, now we can start!

In this step, you will make the first and second legs for the table, be sure to look at the image notes as well as the description below. Anyways lets crack on...

25) What you have made and should have

Repeat this twice to get 2 legs. Once you have done that lets move on!

In this step you will make the third and fourth legs. They are very similar to the first and second with slight changes, and no the pictures are NOT THE SAME, so pay attention.

Ok, so now we are on to the assembly of the 4 legs you have made. Remember to also look through the image notes as they help a lot. Follow the pictures and you will be on to step 5 in no time!

Pictures
1) Position your 4 legs out like shown
2) Another view - make sure the orange clips are facing the right way as shown 
4) Make these four
5) A close up of one of them
6) Attach as shown to the four sections
7) A view of what it should look like (sorry its blurry)
8) Gather these (sorry , theres meant to be an extra one so there is eight, not seven)
9) Attach to the bottom of each leg as shown (two of them to a leg)
10) Another view
11) Get these - theres 48 of them (yes I know its A LOT)
12) Clip these in each of the sides of each leg (Except from the bottom first bit of the leg)
13) Another view
14) A view of all the legs of what they should look like so far
15) Gather these (theres 16 of them)
16) Attach to they bottom section of the legs that were missed out earlier as shown
17) Another view
OPTIONAL BIT
18) Take out on of the sides off from each of the legs and put a white connector through the yellow for as shown attached with the blue rods then add the side back. Do this for all 4 legs 
4) Another view of it

Well, that was a little tougher but you did it! Also well done if you got the optional step, you have maximized the tables power!

In this step, you will be the main support section which holds and gives the table structure, its a bit harder but follow the image notes and im sure you will do it  :-)

Pictures

7) Another view - make sure the Y clips on the inside are in as shown
8) Another view
9) Another view
10) Another view
11) And a final view
12) Make 3 more of these, so you have 4 in total as shown in image
13) Now make this
14) Another view
15) Another view
16) Another view
17) Another view
18) Another view
19) And a final view (of the bottom)
20) Get one of those 4 parts you made at the start and attach it to one side of the bit you just made as shown in picture
21) Another view - make sure everything is connected between them from top to bottom
22) Repeat it, get another one of the 4 you made and attach it to the other side
23) Another view of where it should be attached
24) Another view (what it should look like so far when attached
25) Do the same again to another side
26) Another view
27) And then complete it so it looks like a  +
28) Another view
29) Another view
30 Another view
31) Another view
32) What you have made

In this step, you will connect the legs to the main section. Pay close attention. This is one of those steps which can either take 10 minutes or hours depending on how you do it.

Pictures
1) Gather what you have made so far
2) Clip in as shown. I found it MOST easiest by clipping in leg by leg (Im very sorry the picture is blurry)
3) Another view
4) Another view
5) Another view
6) Another view
7) Another view (a view of the bottom)

Your one more step closer to finishing, well done! This is the most hardest step in my opinion :P

In this step, you will add the support of the chair - yes thats right, the thing that holds up the top, so let’s begin!

Note – I am very sorry some of the pictures are blurry! (If you need any assistance at all, ask in the comment section and I will help the BEST I can J)

20) Another view
21) Another view
22) Another view
23) Another view
24) And another view
