$40 Farmhouse Coffee Table - Easy to Build

SOOOO easy to build!!! All you need is a drill and a saw. Looks like a $500 coffee table but cost less than $40 to build!
PLANS: www.ana-white....

[@charlespayne6938]

Great news that you're demonstrating "drill & saw projects" now. They look fantastic, too. Thank you.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thanks for watching!

[@29102jmoney]

The first half of the kzbin.infoUgkx3ICSK6nSknaL_45CU2NmFSoXjarGMDiJ book is everything about wood: types, tools, finishes, setting up shop etc. The second half is all about doing projects for inside and outside of the home. The color pictures are helpful. After reading a dozen of these types of books, this is probably the best overall (layout, color photos, plans). Only detraction is that many of the projects use a table saw/router/planer, which are usually expensive and take up space, so the plans are less friendly to newcomers and the budget conscious. But I know I can use a drill, circular saw or a jigsaw to make the projects.

[@corysims1949]

Absolutely LOVE this coffee table!!! Have made several of these for family and friends. Great plans, easy to follow and loving the overall ease of the project. Start to finish in just a weekend!!

[@juanr.3314]

This is by far the best DYI coffe table video . Simple, straight forward , simple the best !!! Thank you , I’ll be making mine this weekend thanks to this video .

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

GREAT!

[@meganmarch8769]

End table plans? Yes please! 😁

[@meaganstacy1487]

That is amazing! My husband and I just bought our first home and can't really afford new furniture but my husband is very handy! So glad to have found good, easy and affordable plans for us to go by to fill our new home with beautiful furniture!

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

You can do it!

[@ShipperChick]

Yes!! Console table and end table!! And any other table! 😊

[@bluecurlygirl]

Just shared this to FB Ana. This is exactly what I need right now. I have a big wooden shoe storage trunk that opens awkward. I have no coffee table. I can rip apart the useless shoe storage box and reinvent it!!! Yay, no need to go to shops (hopefully - which I can't anyway!) and no need to spend. Thank you for this. At least I can start and hope I don't run out of something!! Hope you guys are keeping safe over there. Sending good wishes from Ireland.

[@shazzylynne]

Love this! It is one of my favorites so far, I would love to see console and end tables with this design! We are remodeling a tiny house with around 500 sf for us to live in while we build a larger home. I want to build all the furniture in it! All I have are the simple tools like a skill saw and drills. My plan is to get a pocket hole tool soon.. and maybe a miter saw. I’ve been watching your designs for years and years now and am finally feeling brave enough to dig in!

[@bensonnathaniel2566]

This woodworking book t.co/oLg9l5gL3F contains a great deal of details about woodwork. There are some designs in the book but it is primarily explaining the procedure of how to do various things and what tools to use to accomplish them. In general, this book fulfilled my basic desire to learn about wood working.?

[@marilycalma1604]

I am so glad I found your channel. Thank you so much for sharing your projects with us. You are a blessing to me! Have you ever build a pergola?

[@victoriawhite9890]

How do I get the end table plans?

[@stilcrazychris]

These pieces of the Farm House collection look wonderful in your home. Ana you are truly a wonderful person. Raising 3 children, running the home, small business women, & helping your family out w/small builds to. Jacbo is a lucky man to have you as his wife.... lol... My pastor use to tell all of us during service, "Behind every good man, there is a wonderful women." My husband is lucky to have me to.... lol... I had to put up w/a lot of his pooh through out the years. We will be married 27 years next month. How/why did it put up w/him for so long..... lol... We've made it, so can everyone else. Love your videos & these work of art you have designed. Keep it coming, Chris from Missouri

[@champhf]

Thank you for giving me the confidence to do this. i studied your video for a least 3 weeks straight watching your hands and how you took your time i am new to woodworking and i built two versions to your tables one being shorter. i don't know you but i could not have done this without you my wife still does not believe i built these the quality is way above what i could have bought in a store... i have had offers up to $200 again thank you.

[@shecamt]

Wow!!! My husband literally just told me about your channel an hour ago. I've watched this video and the patio furniture video and I'm SO excited to start making furniture. You make it look so easy. Thank you for sharing your gift on KZbin. I can't wait to get started. ❤

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

That is awesome!

[@teresaandrews3492]

Matching end/console tables would be awesome to see you build. Love all of your videos. The views and the clips of your babies you guys share are beautiful ❤❤❤

Thinking about buying a coffee table but I come across this video absolutely amazing! I like how u list all the materials and cut lists it very helpful for beginners. Nowadays, most video does not include details in-depth like yours. Awesome video! ❤

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thanks for the visit!

[@KatytheNightOwl]

Your table is absolutely beautiful, Ana! I don't know how you can manage to keep on thinking up such gorgeous furniture, but I really hope that you never run out of ideas :)

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thank you! It's joyful and I am very thankful to be able to share!

[@nunyabizness3890]

When you said, "Just a drill and a saw for under $40," I did a happy dance. We don't have a lot of tools (only hand tools and some Ryobi stuff), so this project is PERFECT! Thanks, Ana.

[@mkckf4l]

I use those screws alot. Quick tip: reverse screw back out some then drive back in and it will pull it tightly together. :)

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Great tip thank you!!

[@trevors8577]

Yup, only do that once you get into the 2nd piece of wood by about 1/2". Tried explaining this to an acquaintance when he was moving and I helped tear apart his shelving in the basement. Every Single Joint was floppy because there was a gap.. Explained what to do to tighten the joints up and got a deer in the headlights look..

[@ryandelacruz6603]

Oh! Very nice advice. I will do this promise. Very informative. highly recommended.

Great plans! I built this over the weekend. I stained the top and painted the bottom a creamy white. It turned out great, we are building a house right now and can't wait to use it. Your videos are great, keep them coming! By the way your home is beautiful and the scenery outside is amazing!

I've been searching and searching for the right coffee table. I'm gonna finally cave and build this! Absolutely love it, i am going to paint it white to match my furniture. Thank you so much for this video!! ❤️

[@violetspider_]

White 🤦. Wood has such a nice natural colour, so many colours but you like white? 🤮 A white house is like a hospital to me. Just like pink everything for girls, I don't know who came with this girls should play with dolls and like pink and boys should play with cars and like blue but whenever i hear the phrase: ''cuz that's the way it should be'' i instantly become sad.

[@makeitwithmiranda1500]

I recently got a miter saw and a few other tools as an early Christmas gift from my boyfriend. This was our first project. Your video and plans provided made it super easy for us to do. We painted the base white and distressed it and stained the top dark walnut. We absolutely love it! Thank you so much for your awesome and helpful videos!!

[@tazblzr88]

just started building it mostly done gotta to the x bars then sand paint and stain great project price was close to spot on its actually 55 dollars u know that inflation thing lol

[@seanporter113]

Hi Anna. I have built several of your projects over the years. Admittedly, this is the first time I’ve watched your youtube channel. Happy to have finally made it. I do have a little advice for your viewers concerning the X patterns: if you have pocket hole jig use it. The self taping screws are certainly workable, but if you don’t have experience doing that your boards may wander on you. The predrilled pocket holes are easy to hide. In fact, with the kreg jig (pocket hole jig) you can hide every single screw by making the pocket holes on the inside. Also, be sure which ever way you screw best not to screw into the end grain. If using glue then it’s fine, because the screws are just holding until glue dries. But end grain wood is like a box of straws... and a screw going parallel to a straw won’t be very strong. Blessings to all.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Absolutely! Thanks for sharing your tip, I sometimes just try to keep it simpler and using less tools:)

[@1Mhoram9]

My husband and I both really like this coffee table. I've asked for him to make it for me for my Christmas present this year.

[@shun-tenglo7698]

very nice!!!

[@elvistheshark05]

“This is going to be my first woodworking project. I’ve already bought all the materials, including my first miter saw. I’m really excited. My brother is a professional carpenter, and he has given me some advice over the phone since he lives in Puerto Rico and I live in Tennessee. When I finish it, I’ll let you know.”

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Wonderful, have fun!

[@dylhowell92]

I'll probably make one very similar, although I am a fan of hiding every screw if possible whether it be pocket holes or wood filler....

[@moxow]

Thanks, that's a good plan for a coffee table with storage shelf, I'm gonna do it this way! 😉

[@deltaforce7026]

I made this and it was my first time touching a saw. I had alot of gaps and uneven cuts and I realized I had very bowy wood. I think I'll spend the money and buy finished wood instead of construction type wood. If that makes sense

[@atlslugger14]

Built this last night. Looks great! Thanks a lot for the plan as well as the video. Both helped.

@@danielacantu8717 ya lol most these builds double in price now

[@chaplainand1]

Hi Anna First time to comment on one of your projects. I like the table design and using the 2x6 as an easier way to attach the side rails. Two things I would do differently - use the trim-head screws with the smooth shank. The ones you used are for composite materials, as you likely know. When I build with wood, I sometimes make mistakes etc. and when I remove screws made for composite from wood, the reverse threads pull up wood fibers. Secondly, I believe using a half-lap on the cross members would made for an easier build. This is a project that could be done by the beginner woodworker with a tape, pencil, handsaw, square, maybe sharp chisel, and, as you did, a screw gun/driver. Thank you so much for the clear and concise video, showing materials used right up front. I like it.

[@hickster777]

Would love to make this with matching end tables and console. I love everything you make ❤️

[@eddiemoreno2922]

My daughter wants me to build her one, instruction are very straightforward, thanks for the video.

[@jacobstevenson6766]

Love the video. How do you find the angles when cutting the x's?

[@johnlozano5054]

I notice the love you put in doing it. Gorgeous. Congratulations

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

Thank you! 😊

[@fizbinsfire]

Half lap those x boards. It will look so much sweeter and isnt hard to do.

[@AnaWhiteDIY]

That’s a great upgrade!

[@boisterouscockfarmstead2217]

I thought the same thing...looks nicer and eliminates the awkward screws in the cross. Keep up the good work Ana! I moved from Alaska a few years back and am now in Arizona on an old farm property and looking to furnish with my own handy work. Your ideas and projects are inspiring me. Now if I just get the house finished 😋

[@rodprimroseoiuujik6739]

fizbinsfire what does half lap mean?

[@permaculturemom8706]

@@rodprimroseoiuujik6739 I was going to ask that, too!

[@Romans828girl]

@@rodprimroseoiuujik6739 I googled it. It's what I was thinking as I watched the video, but I didn't know what it was called. When she was putting the second piece of the X on the ends, if she had cut half the material away from each piece instead of cutting all of it from the second piece, then the two pieces would have fit together like Lincoln Logs. That would have been a half lap joint. Most KZbinrs would do it with a table saw. I guess if you're doing it with the minimal tools that I have, you would do it with a chisel.

How do you make this for under $40? The 2x6s alone were over $40 at my Home Depot

[@johnnybravo805]

Yes that is true. I’m following her plans for another table very similar to this one and so far I have a good amount of scraps of wood. So she probably meant that the lumber actually used is about $40. You can tweak her plans and minimize extra scraps to reduce the final cost of the table. 👌🏼 Hope that makes sense.

Magical, just curious how heavy this sucker is since I live alone and it looks like a pain to move. I suppose its not too bad with 2 people.

[@marklaymon6698]

Put metal caster wheels on it. Problem solved.

[@stephen240]

Assuming the maximum density of white pine of 31 lb/in^3, the weight will be 69.2 pounds. White Pine is what I used and I believe she did too. I calculated the weight since I was concern of being to heavy to move and couldn't find the answer in the comments.

[@moderndayfamilyof6]

Built it. Fairly easy and nice but it is wicked heavy. Two people it's movable.

I really like this design and the dimensions can be customized to your space. I built it with a circular saw in a day rather than the few hours described in the video (really makes a good case for a compound miter saw if I do more woodworking / furniture builds). Make sure you use 2.5 in screws, not 2 in screws as I made that mistake and had to go back to make it a bit more sturdy. Thank you for the cool design and the complete walk through. Really helpful.
