- Here's a video of a set of end tables I made (video is the process for one table). Let me know in the comments what you think! Materials are listed below and in the intro. Enjoy!
Tools used in this video
Dewalt miter saw: amzn.to/39oR2Y7
K4 Kreg Jig: amzn.to/3oq5fbt
Jorgensen clamps: amzn.to/3j3FEnO
Central Machinery 2 HP dust collector: amzn.to/3tYrbON
Irwin 24” clamps: amzn.to/2NpFRWv
Bostitech nail gun: amzn.to/2KW64uT
HomeRight Paint Sprayer: amzn.to/2Mw81ii
Materials:
Legs - 2x4 cut to 20" long (x4)
Horizontal leg braces (where the X goes) - 2x4 cut to 17.25" long (x4)
Horizontal leg braces (on the sides) - 2x2 cut to 15" long (x4)
Top boards - 1x8" cut to 22.5" long (x3)
X piece - 2x2 rough cut to 24" long (overlap and trace the angles)
Bottom shelf - 1x3" furring strip cut to 17.25" long (x5)
Bottom shelf support - 3/4 x 3/4" scrap cut to ~ 14.75" long
How to build:
0:00 - 0:45 : cut out the legs and the first support frame pieces. These are cut from a 2x4 board with no planing/milling
0:45 - 1:30 : cut pocket holes on each end of the horizontal support frame, NOT the legs. Attach in a square (leave room for the feet!) using pocket holes, glue and clamps.
1:30 - 2:45 - cut the side horizontal braces from 2x2 and cut pocket holes in each side. Attach on each corned of the first square using pocket hole screws (face the pocket holes up on the top and down on the bottom so they don't show). Attach the other square frame to the supports and you should have a box.
2:45 - 3:45 - attach scrap shelf support to the SIDE horizontal frames. I used glue and brad nails here. Next, cut the furring strips to diameter of the width of the table. Glue and brad nail to the supports that were just added.
3:45 - 4:30 - overlap the X frame boards (2x2) and trace the angle - I do not measure the angles and have no idea what the angles actually are. Cut the angles with a miter saw and wedge the X pieces in the frame, overlapping each other. Trace where they cross on each piece in the middle.
4:30 - 5:20 - I cut a half lap joint in each X piece (where they overlap) using a radial arm saw. It's possible to use a table saw, miter saw, hand saw, circular saw, and probably a few more ways. Be careful with this step!!! I then used screws to attach the X going in from the top and the bottom of the frame.
5:20 - 5:50 - I painted this using valspar antique white using a Homeright super finish max paint sprayer. I did not thin the paint, nor did I use primer on this table.
5:50 - 6:45 - I cut the top from 1x8 appearance pine board and stained them with Minwax Early American. I normally assemble the tops first, but I wanted to try it differently for this build. I let the stain set for about 10 minutes then wiped off the excess with a rag. This worked out great!
6:45 - 8:10 - I aligned the top boards for a ~ 15mm overhang on each side. I then attached each board individually with screws. I was going for a rustic farmhouse look, so I am not concerned at all with the boards slightly separating from wood movement. I normally make table buttons, or use table top fasteners for attaching tops.
8:10 - 8:30 - I used Minwax gloss polyurethane as a top clear coat. This poly has a great shine to it!

Thanks for the video. Stepping into woodworking, after seeing lots of DIY tables, finally me and my wife mutually agreed to yours as my first build. Thanks again, you also saved my marriage 😆
Haha awesome! 😂 good luck and enjoy building your own set!
Very nice. Thank you for taking the time to make this video, very much appreciated!
Thanks! Happy to make it! Keep an eye out for more free plans in the future! 👍🏻
I have watched this video about 20 times. Every time I pick up on something new. Thank you so much. Great video!
Nice! Glad it was helpful and thanks for watching!
I like how your video is straight to the point while also being very informative, good job man
Thank you! That's what I was going for!
Thanks for these videos. I’m house hunting and have told my wife that I’d like to begin doing this sort of woodworking and building things. I’ve never done it. My father never had patience to teach me any of these things. I appreciate you taking the time to practically teach people how to do this. Once I learn I hope to teach my sons 😊. Thank you.
You're welcome and thanks for the kind words! Fair warning - it can be addicting once you get started, haha! But definitely give it a go, just be careful and patient.. for sure a great thing to teach your sons. Good luck getting started, I hope you have some awesome builds! 👍🏻
Good job no boring music no talk thanks and subscribed
Thanks Dawit!! I'm with you, I'd much rather hear the sounds of the tools and shop 👍🏻
I enjoyed your video immensely, No jabber, just the talent of one man. I can't believe you don't have over 1K instead of what you have, highly under rated... Thank you so much..
Thanks JC! Appreciate your feedback and following!
I got my project for weekend, thanks for sharing!!
You're welcome, good luck with the build!
They look amazing 😍
Thanks Lena!
@@mmcc_woodshop6288 you're welcome 😊
Thank you for the video. This was a fun first project.
You're welcome! Glad it was helpful!
Gorgeous!
Thank you!
Very nice, good job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video I made mine out of repurposed wood and they look pretty good
Nice! This style would look awesome with repurposed wood!
great description
Thanks Jeff!
Very nice. I need one for my front porch. Would take me 4 or 5 days to build one in my garage.
Thanks! Give it a go and see how it turns out.. these would be sweet to have outside!
hey i see youre new to uploading to youtube, at least from what i gathered from the channel history. What I got out of this video besides the lovely piece of work you made was your table! Id love to see a video on that.
thank you and subscribed
Thank you! You mean the work bench, correct? I can definitely do a video showing it in detail and how to build it 👍🏻
@@mmcc_woodshop6288 after that comment I did a bit more youtubing and think I'm gonna start making one today.
I gather the most basic design is to make a normal table and just add another level of plywood with a cutout that's the height of the saw?
This stuff makes me excited
I started with a full sheet of plywood and cut the slot out where the miter saw would sit. Then I flipped the plywood over and build a frame underneath around the boarder. I used the scrap plywood cutout for the shelf. Just made sure the boarder is the same height as the miter saw so it sits flush. I just used 2x2s doubles up for the legs and then built a bottom frame and shelf underneath that. Hope that helps!
nice video, i found that i didn't like making 2 angle cuts on the ends of the x's, i just did 1 angle cut, so much easier. Thank You
Thanks Inky! The double angle on the X is tough, I’d had to recut a few times before.. thanks for the input and feedback!
Finished.... wish i could post a pic! Thank you for your video and responding. I bought everything other than the tools lol. Cost me around $130.00
Nice! Glad it worked out, you definitely saved some $$ rather than buying in store! If you have Instagram feel free to DM a picture of them! (I'm on Instagram @MMCC_Woodshop).
Yeah and I like how the channel “ turnin too” does the table also
Nice! I’ll have to check that channel out!
Just subscribed. Been working with my dad in this kind of stuff for a while hoping to start doing something like this on my own for extra cash
Awesome, thanks for the support! It can definitely be a fun hobby to make some extra $$ on the side!
earned a sub from me! this is perfect! thanks for details!!! and plans! could you do a video on a farmhouse dining room table with plans? I would really appreciate it! I will be making these end tables soon! Thanks again bro!
Thanks man! Yep, I am planning on a few different dining table build videos that'll have plans. I have a big list of upcoming videos so stay tuned, I'll get one made eventually 👍🏻 Good luck with the end tables build!
@@mmcc_woodshop6288 Awesome man and thanks!
This video was amazing! Thank you so much! If I wanted to make these but taller what would your recommend? Would I just make the legs taller where the bottom shelf is just off the ground more? You made this seem very doable! Thanks again
Thank you! To make them taller, I would just make the legs longer (I would leave the bottom shelf the same height but feel free to adjust it). I personally don't measure the angles but rather overlap the X pieces and then trace them. If you're tracing as such, longer legs will just require the X pieces to be longer, rather than worrying about finding a different angle. Good luck!
Should i prime it first before painting? Im almost done with both. They looking great so far.
I usually prime them for a smoother finish but you definitely can paint without priming 👍🏻
I just completed the Custom Farmhouse TV Stand a few days ago and my wife and I love it. I like your design of the Farmhouse End Tables and am likely to build them. Would appreciate your feedback as I think I would want to duplicate the looks of the TV Stand. Meaning that I would follow the steps you applied to the TV Stand prior to assembly (square edges and plane the lumber). I would probably want to use 2 X 8's planned down to 1.25" for the top. Thanks for making this video!
Yes you can definitely do that! Just remember that if you mill the round edges of the 2x8 then the width of the table top will be a little less than if you used 3/4" appearance board. Take that into consideration when cutting the other pieces and you should be fine!
@@mmcc_woodshop6288 Matt: Thank you for the response. I purchased the boards yesterday and decided to go with 2 X 8 appearance boards as you recommended. I am going to cut all of the pieces to the dimensions you recommended but will wait on the bottom furring strips until I have the stands built. After watching your video many times my mind is telling me that the bottom strips need to be 17.25", not 15". Just don't want to cut until I build and measure. LOL! Thanks again!
Great video! I know you said you used 2” screws, but what size drill bit did you use to pre drill holes for top pieces and “x” pieces? And was it a countersink bit?
Thanks Justin! Any bit around 1/8 or so will work. It's not countersunk but the pine is soft so I do sink the screw in just a little bit.
Are you using pocket holes with 2.5 inch drywall screws? If so, nice way to stick it back to kreg on the overpriced square drive stuff.
They’re regular construction screws, but yes, they work fine as long as you don’t oversink them. I’m not overpaying for fancy screws haha
LOVE! Do you have the matching coffee table?
Thanks! I didn't do an exact match coffee table, but here's one of my videos that's pretty similar.
th-cam.com/video/2mzYEvEkHzo/w-d-xo.html
Question. At the beginning of your video, you have a white box with red trimming mentioning the Materials. What are the 3/4x 15" x2 Scrap bottom shelf supports?
It's the pieces I'm attaching to the bottom frame at 2:55 , they will hold the bottom slats in place. I just used some scrap 3/4" board that I had left over. that I cut to ~15". You could use anything similar - it's just to hold the bottom pieces in place.
Awesome! Where do you get your lumber?
Thanks Bucky! I just get everything from Lowe's 👍🏻
what length brad nails are you using for the bottom 1x3's
I usually use 1.5”, 1.25” would work fine as well
Can u please tell me the thickness and length and the width of the parts?
Check out the description for the full list of pieces and dimensions 👍🏻
Hi
What can I use to cut the recess for the centre of the “x” pieces as I don’t have a saw the same or similar as you?
Thanks
Check out this video from 8:20 - 9:00!
m.th-cam.com/video/Umexn4geano/w-d-xo.html
I usually make them with my miter saw now, it’s easier. You can also use a table saw, circular saw, or just cut them by hand. I’ll make a video on all the methods when I a chance!
@@mmcc_woodshop6288 perfect, thanks mate, I’ve got a table saw….seems obvious now, but I’m an absolute beginner
Thanks again 👍🏻
If there is a 17.25 gap on the side supports (2x4 are cut to that length) how is a 15” shelf piece going to fit that gap? Currently stuck on that section.
Hey, that's a typo on my part, sorry about that! The slats for the shelf should be the same length as the side supports (17.25"). I updated the cut list in the description, thanks for the feedback!
@@mmcc_woodshop6288 no problem at all. I ended up just running those the other way by trimming a .25 inch off them, so it all worked out. Great videos!
@@whodunit__ Nice! Glad it worked out, that would definitely work, might even look better going parallel with the top!
Where does sanding fit into the build?
If I remember right, I didn't sand much on this one (I probably sanded the stamped logos out of the wood). I was going for a more rustic type look, so I left a lot of the surfaces rougher.
Hi matt, wath kind of primer did you use normaly?
Hey Lucino! I use Kilz 2 all purpose primer 👍🏻
@@mmcc_woodshop6288 okay Matt, tankyou so much, you help my a lot.
At 4:30 what tool is that? And can you do it without
It's a radial arm saw, and you can definitely do without it. Here's a different video where I do it with a miter saw. Watch from 8:30 - 9:00.
th-cam.com/video/Umexn4geano/w-d-xo.html
Got it lol
Awesome, let me know if you have any other questions!
@@mmcc_woodshop6288 you rock man!
I don't get the box you first make. The whole thing is 2x4
@@kenlame1197 The front main frames are 2x4 but the 2x4 frames are connected with 2x2s, does that help?
Can you tell us what it cost you to make these
Hi Alyssa, lumber prices have fluctuated quite a bit lately but right now lumber will run you about $30-40 for each table. Glue/screws/paint/stain will be probably another $30ish depending on what you might already have. Hope that helps!
How many 2x4s?
I used two 2x4s per table, don't forget the other materials though! Check out the description for the full list!
I followed your cut list but my top doesn't have the same overlap as yours just trying to figure out what I did wrong before I recut things. Thanks
You don’t by chance have the top boards running in the wrong direction?
That was my initial thought but one way is worse than the other. I have about a half in over hang and the other side is 1.5in over hang
What are the dimensions on the top? I have 22.5 by 21 3/4
The width should be 21.75” - 1x8 boards are 7.25” wide (at least by standard dimensions here in the U.S.), so 3 of them would add up to 21.75”. If you have too much width you could always rip 0.25” off each board to slim the top down a little bit
The 21.75 is okay its the 22.5 that is short
Do you think only 5 screws will hold that PC of 2 ft 1x6 lol
😂😂 it's not going anywhere!
Not seeing the plans for this
Hey Anthony! The plans included are the dimensions of everything and the step by step process typed out in the description. You should be able to follow those along the video. Let me know if you have any questions!
Thank you
Sorry where are the plans?
The dimensions of every piece/cut are in the description 👍🏻
@@mmcc_woodshop6288 ok thank you
No free plans in description???
Hey Elizabeth, the free plans are the dimensions and instructions I have written out in the description. There is not downloadable version or anything like that, but the full dimensions are included in the description
Not only a great, cost effective idea but how beautiful is the design? Subscribed!
You should consider having an Instagram:)
Thanks Ellen! This set is still one of my favorite builds! You can find me on Instagram @MMCC_Woodshop , same name as here!
