![]() I started with an empty tub from the hardware store. I used three different Varathane stain colors to create this. This is a really fun way to give you an even more custom look and it’s super simple! You can check out my reel on how I created this color here! I decided to create my own stain color by mixing three different stains. I did this before staining because I knew the stain would not harm the feet. I found the cutest metal feet on Amazon that I love so much! You can find them here! I just attach them to the base of the console table. HardwareĪt this point, I was ready to add my feet. Cut them to size and attach them to the inside support pieces using wood glue and brad nails. These pieces are also cut from the laminated pine boards. The final step in construction of the table is attaching the inside trim pieces to give it a thick, chunky look. Attach them to the inside of the cabinet side pieces, using wood glue and 1.5″ brad nails. ![]() These will be 12″ long each to match the width of the laminated board. Using scraps from the 2×4 boards, cut two supports for each side. Attach everything to the back frame just like you attached it to the front frame using wood, glue and pocket hole screws. The easiest way to do this is to lay the back frame flat and put the cabinet on top of it. Now, attach the back frame to the cabinet. Your angles should be flush forming a square edge on the top corners and everything should line up flush with your frame. Also, attach the side pieces up into the top board also using 1 1/4” pocket hole screws and wood glue. The top of this board will be flush with the top of the frame. Attach the top to the front frame using 1 1/4” pocket hole screws and wood glue. Add 3/4″ pocket holes along both long sides of this project panel. Now attach the top of the table to the frame. The side will be flush with the outside edge of the frame. Attach the sides to the base with 1 1/4” pocket hole screws through the base shelf board and into the side boards and also connect to the frame through the pocket holes on the board and into the frame. Add 3/4” pocket holes at the top of each of these boards just below the angle cut as well as down both long sides. The base of each of these boards will be a straight cut and the top of each board will be cut at a 45° angle. Step 3Īttach the sides of the cabinet next. The top of the bottom shelf will line up flush with the top of the bottom frame piece. Attach the board to the frame using wood glue and 1.25″ pocket hole screws. Add 3/4″ pocket holes down both short and long ends of this board. The bottom shelf board is made from one of the 12″ wide project panels. Next, attach the bottom board to the front frame. ![]() Attach the pieces to create 2 rectangle frames using wood glue and 2.5″ pocket hole screws. Add 1.5″ pocket holes using your Kreg Jig to the ends of each of the shorter frame pieces. Each piece will be cut at a 45º angle on each end. ![]() You will create 2 identical frames, one for the front and one for the back. These are made from 2×4 boards that I ripped to 3″ wide each on the table saw. Kreg Docking Station with Material Support WingsĬreate the frames first.Some additional accessories are a dust port with a vacuum adaptor, 160 pocket hole screws, It also folds up compact so it’s perfect for small shops. The Kreg Jig 720Pro is hands-down our favorite pocket hole jig! The Automaxx dual Clamp self-adjusts to your material thickness making it so fast and efficient for furniture building! It has built-in material support wings on the docking station for large panels like plywood, tons of storage features and includes a clamp to hold it in place to your workbench. Whitney and I discovered them shortly after we starting building furniture and it was a HUGE game changer for our furniture building! We were so impressed with how user-friendly they are and the strong joints it gave our builds! For this table, we used two different Kreg Jig models to show you a little bit about both! We used the Kreg 720Pro and the Kreg Foreman! 720PRO MODEL It makes joining two boards faster and gives you stronger and cleaner joints than countersinking a wood screw. One question we get asked consistently is, “What tools do I need to start building furniture”, We have always recommended three basic tools for beginners to get started, a miter saw, a drill and a Kreg Jig. What is a Kreg Jig? A Kreg Jig is a tool that drills pocket-hole joints. Laminated boards are typically found by dimensional lumber at the hardware store and come in various widths and lengths. I used laminated pine project boards and 2×4 boards to create this piece. With lumber costs so crazy high, I chose to use some different materials to keep the cost of this table down. ![]()
