    You guys are awesome. In the middle of building that TV stand. Waiting for the stain to dry. Next I’m going to build that side table that Liz built to match the TV stand. Finally I will build this table. I like this table a lot. Pretty easy except the screwing it looks like....never would’ve thought screwing would suck so much.
    Edit: Built it today. Waiting for the stain to dry. Cost more like 65 bucks. It weighs a freaking ton. And it’s a little wobbly so I’m going to cut two 15” 2x4’s and attach them on each leg as a foot cap. It raises it by 2 inches but I think it’s actually the perfect height with the extra 2 inches. You’ll need two boxes of 2 1/2 trim head screws.

    This is absolutely awesome... not just because of what it is... but because of what it can be applied to and how easily it can be modified. Anyone can make this any length or width for exactly the space they need. And oh, by the way... make it short enough to be a bench and then attach some back to it?
    Bingo. Amazing idea for newbies and practical woodworkers alike.

  • @AB-nu5we
    @AB-nu5we 4 года назад +5

    I like the clever no-glue build using the trim head screws, but I think I'd add glue on all the long grain flat faces for added shear (side-to-side) stability. This also looks like a good design to adapt for making a bench, by making the legs shorter. Though I'd definitely design in a double thickness stinger running under the seat to add lateral stability. Great design for a weekend project guys.

    I did this 2 years ago but ran the 2x4s through the table saw first to take off the edges. Alao put in a shelf for the DVD player and other components. After that I built a 3 side rolling shelf to put stuff on under the entertainment center. Turned out really good. Solid as a rock and just as heavy...lol

    wonder how this would look with 4x4's instead of 2x4's. And, if you ran the boards through the planer you could get off the rounded edges making it look like a solid slab. Of course you would need longer heavier screws (and a planer). i really like the design. thats the great thing about wood working you can see something awesome like this and put your own spin on it. :) Great Job!

      If you rewatch you will see that in one row he puts the screws closer to the edge. Then, the subsequent row he offsets them from previous layer by placing the screws inward about an inch or inch and a half, it looks like. He alternates screw placement back and forth this way with each row.
