- How to make 2 tables for $20,00. Living room end tables. So here's the background, My wife changed our living room around and we moved our big end tables out of the room. We needed two small tables to fit beside the recliner in a small space. Well, we looked everywhere trying to find some small tables she liked......and we never did. So my wifey told me what she wanted. She wanted a rustic style table with a thick table top. So here is an easy do it yourself project. (DIY)
The tables are made from (1) 2x12x12 untreated board, bought from our local store. I already had the stain, paint, and screws in my shop. The single board cost me around $18.96.
Tools used were:
12" Sliding Miter Saw
Table Saw
Drill
router
Kreg Jig
Tape Measure
2 1/2 inch pocket hole screws
Kreg plugs
Glue
Paint
Stain
It took around 4 hours to build start to finish.....minus the stain/paint drying time!
They turned out pretty decent and she likes them.....Hey, That's all that really matters!!!
nice simple project for beginners and if things go wrong, $20 is not much of a loss. Thanks
I promised my wife of make us end tables about 6 months ago. And I've had no idea how I was gonna do it cause I just got into wood working. This video is gonna help alot.
2021 TITLE: Build 2 tables for 85 dollars.
You got that right!!
Lol true dat
Accurate
This made me giggle lol. So true tho
I’m building one and it has already cost me over $250
What would be a project without errors indeed
Haha!!! Seems like I just can't get through a project without a few of them popping up. But then again, that's the best way for me to learn....is by my mistakes!!
Great job!!! Very thoroughly explained makes me feel like I can try!!
Great video but the music for ʻsound overʻ is too loud! Just keep talking! Thank You for sharing your skills..
I hope people aren't disliking the video for the audio issue. Just leave a comment about it to help out. The content itself is great
Beautiful end tables!You could even put a piece of wood making a z on the sides.
They look great!! I am going to make one. Looks simple enough for me to make. 💪🏼🤞🏼 thank you for this easy o follow video
Good job man.that pocket hole jig really helps..don't mind these peoples comments.at least you are doing something and they just sit back and criticize
Just what I was looking for. Well done.
They look real nice. Nice job. The music kept randomly returning very loudly.
$250 for that at Hobby Lobby
For both or one?
It fucking cost that to walk in the doors at that particle board built, covered in girly cursive phrases piece of shit.
I love the glossy finish on top!!!😍😍 great job sir..and thanks for sharing!
Nice and simple thank you, I'm going to take this and change it a little to make a custom height 2 bowl raised dog feeder. Thanks.
2022 Title: How to build two tables for $165
Exactly!!!
Exactly!!!🤣🤣🤣
This video is almost impossible to watch because I’m sick of turning the sound up and down. There’s absolutely no need for the music and definitely not blow out your speakers load when your whispering
Dude…are you….are you crying?
Sorry but I agree. I had ear phones in and the music blew my ears. I know it is hard to get the technology right, but this is the most critical one to get sorted. Otherwise, a great video!
Beautiful!
I have no doubt that you are putting out good, helpful information. However, I was constantly turning up the volume to hear your voice... and then repeatedly turning it back down because the music was so loud. Pro tip: speak up or set music to match volume of your voice. It was difficult to watch.
jackson yang Yeah it was one of my first videos and I had no idea how to edit them. Sorry about that.....but I’ve gotten a little better since then lol.
Hard to listen to when the volume changes all the time
This was super useful, thank you!
it's hard to follow this video because of the audio. I have to turn the volume up to hear you, but then when the music starts it's super loud.
Patrick Renschler yeah I apologize, this was one of my first TH-cam videos and I didn’t know what I was doing. I have since then figured it out and don’t use the music at all lol.
Thank you! They look great!!
Love these! You did great!
Thanks for the detailed video!
Very nice
Thanks perfect job 👍👍👍
Um may want a new blade , that thing is begging for mercy ..
Great video. Only suggestion is to balance the music level with the voice level of audio. Had to keep turning it up and down. But that's minor. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing, going to try making these!
Thanks for the loud music after you talk really low
😂😂
I thought it was my speaker on my phone lol
+1
Great little build. Thanks for sharing. I'm trying to gather some inspiration for my own builds and this is awesome. I have a spot for them for sure.
Your video is terrible as far as volume goes. One minute you can barely you so I turn it way up then music starts basting and it has be be truned all the way down. It was like that through the whole video. Not fun to watch because of this.
Dwayne Stclair yes I know and I apologize! it was one of my first TH-cam videos and I had no clue what I was doing. I have since learned how to edit and have gotten a little better with them lol
Thanks for blowing up my speakers
Nice build! I noticed adds for end tables under your video. One for $90 and another for $390 and I gotta say they looked like about $20 in material as well. So nice job and a ton of savings!
Great video, however your audio volumes are all over the place. Music far too loud and vocals too soft.
I like the step-by-step very nice work Beautiful tables video recording was good when it came down to capturing what you were doing. a tip to help you on Future videos it would be better when you make the video just record yourself doing the work then do a voiceover in editing on your work that way the volume is control I also make videos find it’s easier to VoiceOver to control the volume of the video and allows The viewer to hear you better. I kept Blowing my ears but overall great video I will Definitely subscribe
Chris C yeah I apologize , this was one of my first videos and I really had no idea how to edit properly. I have since then kinda figured it out and they are a little better now 👍🏻
Good stuff.
Popo: Nice video, and thanks for showing your faux pas gluing in the plugs before the screws. Makes me feel better about the dumb things I have done. As to the third hand you needed, take a look at the Kreg right angle clamp. One jaw has the usual flat pad, the other has an end made to fit into a pocket hole. Just don't set it to clamp too tight on a hole parallel to to the grain or it can break out the pocket. I have two, but rarely need more than one.
creighton west thanks I will definitely have to look into getting one of those!
Nice tables. I plan to build a couple of tables myself. This gives me in a good starting place. I'm glad that you added the cross braces. That was my only concern about what you had done. Great Job! Thanks for taking time to make the video.
In 2020: how to build 2 tables for $40
Shortage of Lumber right now in the US is causing the prices to be high right now
@@slendertony8814 prices are insane, in Canada it’s $12+taxes for an 8ft 2x4
Everybody talking shit about tables and how they would’ve done them but came here to watch how to make a table lmao
Wife : build me some rustic end tables.
Husband: end tables no problem but what the hell is rustic?
Paint it, then scratch it up.
very nice !!! what kind of wood was that i know its a 1x6 just wondering and thank you ... so kind for sharing your time and video :)
linda meanbean it's a 2"x12"x12ft pine board.
I enjoyed watching this video. I especially liked that you explained what you were doing. I did have some difficulty listening to it though. I had to keep muting the music than I would miss something you said and I’d have to rewind. I think if you can’t figure out how to keep the music at a normal level than perhaps don’t add any music at all
Here are some great woodworking plans if you're interested: MootFixPlan.xyz
Binary Reviews thanks!
You gotta buy yourself a impact drill. So much easier to put screws in
Yeah I have been looking at those. They are nice!
Popo's Woodworks he is right, they are great, but not really for pocket holes. low torque needed for those
I did break down and buy me one...your right also. The impact driver is money well spent but I learned real quick that it'll drive slam through a pocket hole with no problem at all.....lol
here we are 5 years later and you need to rename your video to DIY | How to make 2 tables for $100.00 Lol
POPO
Take care of your hands. 10.45 screwing is terrorized me. Pls. be careful.
Nice!
Wifey is a lucky woman! You did an amazing job, I admire your handiness
I just saw this video is from 5 years ago, but hey, it’s a great video and it helped me out today, 5 yrs later!!💪🏼🤜🏼🤛🏼 Going strong!
I’m trying to get ideas for a small table with a door on the front. I assume the “Small table” words in my search must be what made your video come up first…but I’m glad it did. Awesome job! I hope you’re still enjoying your tables - and for many years to come. *side note: when you said your wife rearranged the living room so now you need to make two side tables. And later added “I gotta get this done today.” I was like 😱🤯 absolute mind blowing! Here’s a scenario of what would happen at my house: “hey look, I rearranged the living room.” Too bad we don’t have a small table here we could use. (Those exact words have been spoken many times. We’ve looked in stores - nothing available.so… his response? ….. 🦗chirp🦗chirp🦗chirp” … “hey, did you hear me? Anyone want to come see what I did?” Maybe my husband comes and looks at it from the second story catwalk (not quite interested enough to walk alllll the way down stairs.🙄and then he simply says, “cool”. Then walks away. 🤷🏼♀️👀 what?! That’s all I get???
If he said, “ you want some side tables? I’ll go make you some (and have them ready in 24 hrs - and let’s add they have to be safe and functional working tables.😉😗)….I think I’d pass out! 😨😱🤣🤣🤣🤪 sounds like you’ve got a good thing going. Congrats on it all and a great video too!👍🏼 …. Now if you happen to have a plan (or plan it for your next video) for one that’s about 28”-30” square and 3-5’ tall with solid sides and a door in front, would you pleeeeeeaaaaasssseee let me know??🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I have a chameleon and I’d like yo build a table for his enclosure to sit on. (Asap) My plan is for the drainage bucket to be hidden behind the door, yet very easy access to empty. And a simple little shelf in there would give me a place for his minerals and vitamins. So I’m on the hunt for ideas… trying to see if I can do this. Lol I think I can…. But if you could wish me luck, that would be great and sooo appreciated!! You bI need all I can get!😂😅 thx again for the video and inspiration!! And I’m case you haven’t guessed…you definitely got a sub and a like from me!😉🙌🏼 Keep making these awesome vids and we will certainly keep coming back! You have solid skills and it’s nice to see a well thought out plan come to fruition!😊 Have a good one!
same here in june 22. needed something “easy” to match my rogueengineer 48in. benches.
Fast forward to October 2020 and that board is now $30 and cupped like a canoe. 30% in 3 years. Gotta love them wildfires and price gouging corporations.
You got that right!! I bought a 2x4x8 stud the other day at $4.98 per stud. Ridiculous!!!!
You have to calm down with the music
A couple of clamps would have really helped during the assembly
My new project for next weekend. I think these will work great in my theater room we cant find tables the ight size to go between the reclines I purchased. Thanks for the step by step directions
They turned out pretty good.. look antique! i like the cross bar it looked naked without it ! i was gonna say why didn't you stain legs, but this looks better.. i like the color of the legs, would even look good in green.. i might make these when i move in green & dark walnut ! Can't believe wife not helping i would love a table like that bench you have with tools in behind there..for kitchen as a big cutting board baking table :)
Your "music" noise is way louder than your voice. You should probably adjust that.
Enjoyed the video! I'm new to woodworking, would you recommend a mitre saw or a table saw for my first purchase...ill just be doing little projects around the house. Thanks!
Dave Stump I would go with the miter saw first. I use that way more than I do my table saw. If you need big pieces cut, you can get the box stores to cut them until you can afford a table saw.
I would go with a decent table saw. Make a simple miter sled for it and use a cheap circular saw for cross-cutting long boards. That's how I got started
I'm glad you left your mistake in the video that's great and youre amazing! I love all the equipment you have available at your fingertips!
All these diy cheap woodworking videos on TH-cam say "build it for $10/$20" then you watch them and they have these shops filled with thousands of dollars of saws and routers etc...
Build it for $20. Not likely...
I'm thinking the same thing,looking at the prices of these tools in the hardware stores is quite expensive! !!! I wouldn't mind putting my hand to it,but....
$20 if you already have the tools if you don't have the tools than of course its gonna cost you more
thousands of dollars? lol he used like one saw and a pocket hole jig. You don't have to router the edges you can use sandpaper if you like. Honestly even the most basic weekend woodworker could make these
Go to a thrift store or a restore. And you can retore it for that price.. tools and end ta les pennies on the dollar..
He used the tools in his shop. The idea is that you can build this from a single piece of 2x12. You can cut and rip if all you have is an inexpensive circular saw and you do not need pocket holes if you don't have the tool, although not very expensive, if you use for next projects.
these are like a gal I watch and hoping if I send this with a man doing I can get him to do it. and yes I could but he enjoys doing ir so does my sons.
Good tables, easy to make. Just curious where did you get your measuring tape?
I believe that one was from harbor freight.
Hopefully this isn’t a crazy question but do You think that would be sturdy enough to be stools?
Absolutely, I have used them a few times to stand on while I clean my ceiling fan blades. Yes it’s weird but they are the perfect height lol
@@PoposWoodworks haha I appreciate that!!!! They look really good. I’m going to build these.
That damn music is way too loud
Excellent DIY...but i had the volume turned up so loud to hear you, that when the music came on, my great dane, who was laying at my feet, about pissed himself and ran over the cat and spilled my drink trying to get away from the loudness .....
Best comment ever! Dude I read this to my family and we are dying laughing picturing this…omg! But sorry about that, it was one of my first videos and I had absolutely no idea what I was doing with the editing. I have since got better at it 👍🏻
@@PoposWoodworks it's all good man! Excellent video!!
Sorry I know this video is 2 years old, but just wanted to say... Well done sir! I’m happy to see that nice quality furniture can be made with cheaper lumber. Those are some really nice side tables. You’ve inspired me to try something! Also nice to see a shop setup that just WORKS. It’s not super fancy, with shiny new tools and perfect lighting. It’s tough old tools that get the job done. You are the real deal bro.
2 suggestions I would make:
Invest in various clamps for holding your project as you screw it together. You got lucky with the leg and table top pulling together at the last minute there. With a soft lumber like that you could have blown out the wood and ruined the stained/poly’d table top.
Also, if you’re going to play music, consider playing it during the saw cuts and drilling, and keep the same type of music. Try to normalize the volume for the whole video so your voice isn’t real low and the music isn’t real high.
Again, 2 year old video, I’m sure your videos have only gotten better.
I can’t wait to see more!
Jason Gross Thanks, and your right. At first I really had no clue on the editing part but I have gotten a little better with it since then haha
Could serve as a stool too hahaha. Good video
How the hell is timber so cheap in the USA. Here in Australia the closet I could get would be a 3/4” x 10” by 8’ and that’d cost me close to $50. The piece you’re using is longer, thicker and wider for a fraction of the price.
The video was 7 years ago. With Bidonomics that wood is prob a $100 now.
Since I don’t have a table saw, what could I use for the legs? I’m sorry I’m an idiot when it comes to math.
Megan Morrow you can buy 2x3’s at Lowe’s and just cut them down to size. Then you wouldn’t have to rip them.
Love these! Do you have any interest in building one end table (special size) for my home? No staining needed. If so, how much?
Great work.🌸
Love that you showed the mess up so I don't do the same! So something I would do lol
The music is too loud compared to your voice
The screaming loud music was maddening!
Very nice project you did for your wife and home. Great job!
Nice I like its only 20
Your music was very very loud & I could hardly hear you when you spoke
Nice work!
Thanks for the video. I have successfully convinced my wife, thanks to the video, that I can build this. Now I need to find out how to get the material. Can you please share what type of wood it is? Thanks
2”x12” from Lowe’s untreated. I can’t remember the length but it was either 12ft or 16ft length.
Thank you
Great tutorial!! Thank you. But man, the VOLUME on the music vs your voice is killing my ears. LOL
Michael Hopfensperger Yeah it was one of my first videos and I had no clue what I was doing with editing. Lol I’ve gotten a little better since haha
@@PoposWoodworks glad to "hear" it! I look forward to more of your work.
watch out for those staples looks like u hit it. that wont help with the sharpness of the blade
that fucking music, can hardly hear you talking and suddently the music is on a full blast
Good project terrible audio.
Matt S... AGREED! It's driving me bonkers. I'll look elsewhere for a better video
Badd audio
Where did you get that router table?
Bud Pierce I got that from Sears many moons ago lol
2023. 120 dollar project. Lol
This guy wants to make people deaf with the loud music. Tables look great though
Nice set of end tables👍👍👍 looking forward to another build project!
Thank you!!!
Beautiful end tables love them
Sent to my husband. I hope he will build us some nightstands!
Very good video! I’m gonna get my hubby to make these.
A quick thought on the Kreg screws... Be careful not to cross the screws over one another when putting pocket holes perpendicular to one another like that... Not that I've ever done that! :)
2021 updated on cost that $20 is now about $50 in lumber cost 100 days into sleepy Joe's presidency
You got that right, it’s killing us small time wood workers!
Why did you have to turn this political? What the hell point was that for? Now I can't watch this channel anymore ever again. I'm going to block it. So sick of this crap, coming here for entertainment, not for political BS.
This is exactly what my wife has been looking for for our den! Thank you!
Clamps come in handy if you don't have another hand ..you need sealer before stain so it doesn't make that dark mark, also i find the gel stain better it doesn't run, and no wasting :) i like that you sanded and used router i sold my router set damn i need to get another i think it's easier than sanding as much as i do Thanks
Why do so many TH-camrs insist on putting music in their videos..
This is an awesome project for me to build one day. Great video. I think I would add two more braces to the top to finish it all around. Amazing how one piece of wood can be used to make a simple project.
Nice project and instructions. I will try this on my days off
They look very solid and stable - and you can’t beat that price!!! Love it!!!!
Nice plans! But you only need a 2x12x10. Saves a little money.
Thanks for the vid. Do we use 4 braces or 8? Early on I only saw four... then when you were assembling them, there were 8 braces. Critical? Or personal preference? Thanks.
Keven Poore I used 8,.....4 per table......2 at the top and 2 at the bottom on each table.
@@PoposWoodworks Right. I saw that. Since your vid does not include written instructions, I went with how many you made in the early part of the vid - 2 tops, 8 legs and 4 braces. Somehow, the other 4 braces popped into the picture later when putting them together. Now I gotta make 4 more braces, after having stained everything else. :)
Ur videos would be okay if you didn't put music in them
Mountain Views Yeah this was one of my first videos and I didn’t really know how to edit properly and this does have poor audio. I apologize for that. I have since gotten a little better with the editing and it’s not so bad lol.
What tape measure is that?
Bump up the audio when you're talking please.
