Hey Jasmine, sorry about that! I updated the description previously to hopefully prevent that again. I'm pinning your comment at the top so others will see, thanks for bringing this to everyone's attention!
I am enjoying your videos. Going to build one of your tables this weekend. Thank you for all the videos and also for the dimensions. Best site ever if you want to learn how to build something.
So I only work on stuff on my days off but I finally finished building this last week. I extended it to 6ft and added a second shelf. Definitely enjoyed it. Was my first big build.
The table looks great and definitely sturdy. That could hold up a tank! You mentioned you did not mix the stain well but I actually think it gave it a very nice rustic look. well done, sir!
Thanks buddy! There was a lot of gray almost paint/grease like at the very bottom, but I'll be "accidentally" not mixing it very well way more often now!
I have to make a basic console table because I live in an apartment and I don't have all those fancy tools and a garage 😭 to make a nice farmhouse table like yours.
Hey Joe! I didn’t rip the top boards on this one. I normally do, but wanted it to look a little rustic/rougher. I did plane the surfaces first, but the edges were left alone.
Great Build! I'm writing out my list to get started on this project this week and I want to verify that I have the dimensions correct. We want the Entry Way Table to be 5ft in length and 34" H. What would be my wood materials then? Thank you for your help
Hey Daniel, thanks! Everything would be roughly the same, just extend the front and back aprons by ~6” and then get two 12’ boards for the top (cut them in half) instead of the 10’ boards listed. The legs would need to be cut just a little higher as well. You could probably get to 33” tall (an 8’ 2x4 can be cut to 3 sections of ~31.75”), otherwise you might need to grab an extra 2x4 in addition to what I had listed. Good luck and enjoy!
Never built something like this before but I am wanting to recreate this table. However I’m looking for one 3ft in length. What would the cut list look like for this build?
Thanks Jesse!! That's actually a typo on my part... I bought 2 2x6x10' boards and cut 3 54" sections from the 2 boards. You could also get 3 8' boards and cut 54" from each; I got the 10' boards instead so I would end up with a space 5.5' board for scrap.
@@mmcc_woodshop6288 Is there any way you can edit the video to change the typo? I blame myself. I should have either done the math first, or read the comments.
My fault! I thought I edited it but it must not have saved. I actually can't edit it, but I was able to blur that part, and I updated the description. If you already grabbed the 2x6x8s, you would only need 1 more to made the 3rd board of the top. Sorry about that!
The pocket hole jig I have (kreg k4) has a depth adjustment that matches up to the width of the board. The pocket holes stop a little over half way through the width of the board. I usually don't measure angles - I build the frame piece (legs and braces), then overlap the X pieces on the outside and trace the overlap line where they meet the frame.
I just bought a few tools i think i can get this done. This video is gonna help alot . How much did you spend on the wood? For How much do you sell these tables ?
Awesome, good luck with the build! Lumber prices have been fluctuating a lot, but this would cost between $70-$90 right now. I've sold these typically between $150-$250 but I feel as if they could sell for more.
Hey Jos and Cor! I think the list is right, unless I missed something. The 2x2x8s (get a bundle of 4) are cut at 44.5" to use as for the top/bottom apron (in the front and back). Then the leftover pieces (you'll have 4) are used to make the X portions on each side. Does that help any? Edit: I did have a typo in the description, which is now changed. (I had 2x2x8 (x2) - which I changed to 2x2x8 (x4), since you need 4 pieces. Sorry about that)
Thanks! I didn't on this one. Usually if I'm going for a rustic/distressed or wooden finish, I'll leave the rough edges on. I like to plane the round edges down though if I'm painting to hide the round edge offset from not being flush!
The 4x6 measurement was blurred out so I got 8 foot long boards but you need 10 feet, just so everyone doesn’t make the same mistake!

@@mmcc_woodshop6288 no worries, I was able to complete the table without too much trouble, thanks for your content!
Great video. Love how you list plans in description and how you edited this video with no talking or wasteful time. Clear, concise and to the point 👍👍
Thanks Matt!
This is absolutely perfect! Luv how u list everything, cut list etc ahead of time and show assembly also. I’ll be making one this spring!!
Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching!

Nice! Glad to hear the video was helpful! Adding your own touch or dimensions is what makes it fun!
Man...I can't believe how fast you work...nice project
Thanks! It's sped up quite a bit, I wish I was that fast, haha
This turned out great. Could you use 1x6 for the top to cut down on weight?
Thanks! Yes, that would work perfectly fine 👍🏻
I have clamp envy. 👀 Came out awesome!
Thanks Joanna! Haha you can never have too many clamps!
@@mmcc_woodshop6288 Agreed!!!

very nice, I recommend Wood Conditioner on pine before staining, prevents the blotching caused from direct stain...
Thanks! I’ve used it a few times and it does help, appreciate the tips!
I have to make a basic console table because I live in an apartment and I don't have all those fancy tools and a garage 😭 to make a nice farmhouse table like yours.
Nothing wrong with keeping it basic! I’ll try to do a video with hand tools only to keep it really simple if I get some extra time!
Great work! Must try. Thanks mister
Thanks Aaron! Good luck with your build if you give it a go!
What is the exact bit that you used for the router. I'm looking online for one and there are 2 different 1/4 bits to buy. Thank you for the help!
It's the 1/4" round over from this set:
amzn.to/3XgPOEw
Any 1/4" or similar size round over bit will yield similar results.
If I understood you right, did you not rip the round edges off the 2x6s for the table top?
Hey Joe! I didn’t rip the top boards on this one. I normally do, but wanted it to look a little rustic/rougher. I did plane the surfaces first, but the edges were left alone.
Great tutorial!
Thanks Jamie!
Hello buddy nice project!!!! Can you please tell me what is the name of the stain (gray color)?
Thanks Diego! The stain was weathered oak. I didn’t mix it very well unfortunately so the gray part came from the weathered oak as well
Nice work, but I wonder if you really needed to use clamp for 4 hours, after you already used pocket screws to fasten them together.
Thanks! It’s probably overkill since they have pocket screws. More than likely I got into another project and came back to them about 4 hrs later

Thanks Vickie!
Never built something like this before but I am wanting to recreate this table. However I’m looking for one 3ft in length. What would the cut list look like for this build?
Dimensions would exactly the same except the top pieces and the front aprons would be 18” shorter than the measurements in the description
@@mmcc_woodshop6288 Thank you!!
Great video and table!
Thanks Chad!
Great built brother thank you!
Thanks and you're welcome! Best luck with building one if you give it a go!
Rather than using dowels is it possible to use pocket holes and join the table top together?
Yep, pocket holes would work perfectly!
Did you poly the underside or just the visible surfaces? Thanks!
I usually just do the visible surfaces. Doing both sides probably wouldn’t hurt but I’ve never had any problems so far
Good job.
Thanks Gyula!
Did you build this to sell? What is the going rate for a table like this?
I cant remember where/who this table ended up going to but these can sell for anywhere between $150-$350 depending on your area
I am currently building this right now. Only 1 question…. How far off the bottom is the leg brace??
The gap is 1.5". I usually use a scrap 2x4 cutoff to space the gap with.
Do you plane or joint your wood before assembling? Awesome work! Looking forward to more!
I usually plane everything (I don't have a jointer), but I wanted this to have a rougher/rustic look, so I didn't in this video! And thank you!
@@mmcc_woodshop6288 Thank you for the info! Great job, again!
Did you use 2x2 furring strips for the X?
Yep! Furring strips are perfect for the X 👍🏻
@@mmcc_woodshop6288 but is it fine to use them for the rails?
Yeah definitely! I would keep the side frames as 2x4s but the 2x2s will work perfect for the front and back aprons
what ls the glue for? 🤔
Extra support 👍🏻
Great build, lumber list asks for 2 2x6 for top but you used 3, did you glue together 3rd from offcuts? Thank you
Thanks Jesse!! That's actually a typo on my part... I bought 2 2x6x10' boards and cut 3 54" sections from the 2 boards. You could also get 3 8' boards and cut 54" from each; I got the 10' boards instead so I would end up with a space 5.5' board for scrap.
Kool, thank you. Appreciate your video. Building one now .

I am a newbie to wood work , so I have two questions
1. What depth did you make the pocket holes?
2. What angle did you cut the x pieces.
The pocket hole jig I have (kreg k4) has a depth adjustment that matches up to the width of the board. The pocket holes stop a little over half way through the width of the board.
I usually don't measure angles - I build the frame piece (legs and braces), then overlap the X pieces on the outside and trace the overlap line where they meet the frame.
Awesome table!!!! Did you do an 1.25” overhang on all sides? Thank you for the content
Thanks Ronnie! I usually shoot for between 3/4” and 1” for the overhang on each side.
Amazing!!!
Thank you!
What pocket hole screws do you use?
Hey Ethan! I just use grip-rite brand construction screws. They seem to work fine in the pocket holes 👍🏻
@@mmcc_woodshop6288 appreciate it

What brand of dowel jig
It’s a Rockler Dowel-it 1000. I added an amazon link in the description!
How much roughly did it cost to build this?
With lumber prices right now this will be about $70 in lumber alone. I’d price in another $30-$40 for screws, glue, stain, etc
Is the part list wrong? You use the 2x2x8 for the horizontal frames and the X’s on the side, I’m confused.
Hey Jos and Cor! I think the list is right, unless I missed something. The 2x2x8s (get a bundle of 4) are cut at 44.5" to use as for the top/bottom apron (in the front and back). Then the leftover pieces (you'll have 4) are used to make the X portions on each side. Does that help any?

Awesome work! Did you take off the rounded edges from the construction lumber?
Thanks! I didn't on this one. Usually if I'm going for a rustic/distressed or wooden finish, I'll leave the rough edges on. I like to plane the round edges down though if I'm painting to hide the round edge offset from not being flush!
I can get the measurements please. Can you write the size in centimeter here please ?
Hey Hicham! 1" = 2.54cm...
31.5" = 80cm,
12.5" = 31.75cm,
45.5" = 115.5cm,
54" = 137.1cm,
30" = 76.2cm,
15.375" = 39cm
Thanks
Nice work Ill pay you to build me one..
Thanks! Wish I could ship them!
Lost me with the pocket holes!! Learn proper wood joinery
I think pocket holes are fine for beginners or easy DIY projects 👍🏻 thanks for the feedback
Pocket hole screws are “proper wood joinery”. Your hubris is underwhelming!
