An Elegant Coffee Table
|
Here's a simple yet elegant coffee table that you can build
without prior woodworking experience or special woodworking
tools.
The elegance of the coffee table will come from its sleek
design and beautiful finish. In this step-by-step tutorial
you will be given all the information you need, divided into
easy sections. You can build your elegant coffee table in
one day, or build it in steps, when you have time.
To Build Your elegant Coffee Table You Will Need the
Following:
Hardware:
* Hammer
* Saw
* P-220 grit sandpaper & P-320 grit sandpaper
* Sanding block (which you can make from a block of 2x4
lumber)
* Shellac or Lacquer for a sleek wood finish, or stainless
steel paint for an industrial finish.
* A box of 5 inch Headless nails for a 4 inch tabletop
thickness.
Tip: If your tabletop is less
than 4 inches thick, reduce the length of the nails
accordingly.
Material:
* One hardwood board, 36 inches wide, by 36 inch long, and 4
inch thick.
* Two 2x4 lumber, 36 inches long
* Two 2x4 lumber, 32 inches long
* Four 4x4 wood posts, 15 inches long.
Tip 1: Your total table height
will be determined by the length of the legs and the
thickness of the tabletop. You can add or decrease inches to
the leg length suggested in this article, based on your
needs.
Tip 2: if you want to build a
rectangular coffee table instead of a square one, adjust the
hardwood board to 40 inches width, by 18 inches length. And
adjust the 2x4 lumber sections to 40 inches length and 14
inches length.
