- 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!!!
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
nice simple project for beginners and if things go wrong, $20 is not much of a loss. Thanks
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
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.
Wifey is a lucky woman! You did an amazing job, I admire your handiness
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.
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!
This is exactly what my wife has been looking for for our den! Thank you!
They look very solid and stable - and you can’t beat that price!!! Love it!!!!
Thanks for blowing up my speakers
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.
Great video but the music for ʻsound overʻ is too loud! Just keep talking! Thank You for sharing your skills..
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!!
Love that you showed the mess up so I don't do the same! So something I would do lol
Perfect for my front porch. Building one soon.
They look great!! I am going to make one. Looks simple enough for me to make. 💪🏼🤞🏼 thank you for this easy o follow video
Nice set of end tables👍👍👍 looking forward to another build project!
Thank you!!!
Beautiful end tables love them
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.
Very nice project you did for your wife and home. Great job!
Just what I was looking for. Well done.
Nice project and instructions. I will try this on my days off
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!
Love this for only $20
Beautiful end tables!You could even put a piece of wood making a z on the sides.
Very good video! I’m gonna get my hubby to make these.
NICE END TABLES
Could serve as a stool too hahaha. Good video
wow beautiful project. 👍
Great job. She should be pleased.
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!
Beautiful!
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
Great video. Thank you! Love the tables!
How cute! Looks like fun to make
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
Great Job!
So cool!
They look real nice. Nice job. The music kept randomly returning very loudly.
This was super useful, thank you!
Very well done friend
Nice Clean Job. Thank you
I love the glossy finish on top!!!😍😍 great job sir..and thanks for sharing!
Those are really cute! I make things all the time when I need a specific size.
Look good. thanks for the video
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.
Love these! You did great!
Cute tables.
Looks amazing! Great job. Thanks for the help
$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.
These are beautiful! I am going to build myself some of these using your design. Love them! Great job!
Thank you! They look great!!
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.
Sent to my husband. I hope he will build us some nightstands!
Enjoyed your video. The tables turned out nicely and I’m sure they are still going strong. I’m glad you ended up adding one more brace across the bottom I think that was a good call
I did not plan to make use of this woodworking book, *TopFineWoodworking. Com* but instead curious about it. I had been truly amazed right after trying it. I was seeking to learn more about the art of woodworking, and was not disappointed. I found many topics such as wood types and designing your workshop.
Awesome job.....wow
Very nice
Beautiful! Bravooooo to you sir :)
Thank you for sharing. Very nice
Thanks for the detailed video!
Thanks perfect job 👍👍👍
nice nice nice!!! great job !
Great video!! Thank you and mine loaded just fine!
Thanks for sharing, going to try making these!
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
Good stuff.
I'm gonna try this!
Love them
Looks good
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!
Nice plans! But you only need a 2x12x10. Saves a little money.
I think you did a good job!
Guys if you wants to learn beginner to advance level woodworking my recommendation is *TopFineWoodworking. Com* the best website to learn woodworking
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 RUclips 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.
Hard to listen to when the volume changes all the time
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
they look great!
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.
Nice work
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
love it this great video time to make these
Nice!
Nice!!
Great job, looking forward to make two in the future, you sound like John Fitzgerald in The Revenant.
Um may want a new blade , that thing is begging for mercy ..
Super.The reason why the second leg had a 2mm gap while screwing is lack of enough pressure.
If you had a timbre with clamp and when the top is wedged between the timbre and the leg then it would be bang on .
Nevertheless you did end up with a nice table.Super kreg gig.
Thanks for the loud music after you talk really low
😂😂
I thought it was my speaker on my phone lol
+1
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! :)
A couple of clamps would have really helped during the assembly
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

Binary Reviews thanks!
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
Thanks for the share July 2017
2022 Title: How to build two tables for $165
Exactly!!!
Exactly!!!🤣🤣🤣
the music on your viso was so lpoid it woke up my kids..... Tjanks fot that.....
I agree. Music way too loud in comparison to the voice. Good little tables though.
Guess what your device has a volume control if its to loud for you turn it down
🤣 Idiot.
Great video, however your audio volumes are all over the place. Music far too loud and vocals too soft.
Great work.🌸
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 👍🏻
Those are really cute.
Great
nice
also looks like they wood make good farm house table stools
