DIY $20 Console table project. Fast and easy. Great project for all skill levels.

[@WomanUnfiltered]

I realize this was made years ago, but it was just what I was looking for. Thanks!

[@catherinecostello6866]

Us newbies wish you would have shown how you did the tip and shelf panels too.

[@Weamee]

Perfect tutorial. I changed the dimensions to 20"x 48" and made myself an ironing table, with a shelf on the bottom to hold my extra sewing machine. My sewing room is small and I was able to custom fit it to my space. It turned out awesome! Thanks for making it so simple to make!

[@vintagerevivalshomegardend2351]

Totally great improvisation. We appreciate you watching and commenting. Best, Dan

[@larrystone5749]

Good job and project thx for sharing enjoyed it

[@DavidLopez-ry6ep]

I love it! I’m making two, one behind the couch and the other one behind the love seat, I would do it thinner but the same, I can’t wait to be done! Thank you!

I have watched this twice!! Amazing video..

[@jamout777]

Made it and it turned out awesome! Thanks for the tutorial!

[@vintagerevivalshomegardend2351]

How cool is that. So glad it worked for you. Best, Dan

[@msjoy2005]

Never thought to use fence pickets! They’re fairly cheap too

[@mulekickhandmadeguitars8465]

I like the idea of using Cedar fence boards for the top & bottom shelf. The only thing I would change about this project is that I would skim off the rounded edges of the 2X4's on the table saw for a better look.

[@scraplifetrashtocash4551]

Same here. I would use my table saw and trim the rounded edges off and I would use glue too' were the joints go together. Makes a stronger table to do that.

[@rebeccamcconnell5340]

Could you tell me how you affixed the top and shelf to the table? Small mails directly in the top or screws coming up from the bottom , etc?

[@elvazamora79]

Do you have a video explaining how you cut the bottom fence board to fit the bottom of the table?

[@extramile669]

Use a piece of scrap two by four hold it up to the edge of the wood where you need the angle or grooves cut to go around the legs draw yourself a line around that scrap piece of two by four and then just cut it with a table saw a jigsaw hand saw etc but much easier than you think but just use a piece of scrap two by four as your guide once you cut that piece I will fit right in place perfectly on each side make sure u cut the bottom part yo size before tracing your legs with your 2×4 and it will fit perfectly! Good luck have fun

[@lynjermey6423]

I made this yesterday following this video, it was so easy to follow and came out beautifully. Thank you.

[@vrne2906]

Hey, where did you get your wood from? Are your top boards trimmed to make flat edges before you put them together? Thanks!

[@lynjermey6423]

@@vrne2906 I got the wood from BnQ, I used 2 by 4 for the legs and rails and bought an 18 inch planed piece for the top. I used 3 by 2 for the lower shelf. I would have planed the boards if I'd had to join them for the top though.

[@glorialynnjackson7042]

THANK YOU!!! Great video simple and to the point! As someone a begginner I feel I could do this project. Thank you again!

[@vintagerevivalshomegardend2351]

Well that's great. That's what we hope will happen when people watch. Best, Dan

[@M.Vaquero]

Me gusta mu y fácil de elaborar!!🇨🇴👧👏👏👏👏👏👏👏goob job!!

[@elizabeththrockmorton9318]

I made it, turned out wonderfully! I was hoping I could add pictures here. I used the 10" piece as the measuring stick for the bottom shelf - my bottom shelf was 10" off the ground to ensure that I could vacuum under it. Also, I cut diagonally inward on the two front legs at the very bottom to add some detail and sophistication.

[@vintagerevivalshomegardend2351]

Very cool. Thanks for watching

[@kyleedanner603]

I really liked how this console table looked, which made me want to try it. I got everything I needed...but now I just realized the bottom fence boards need to be cut out around the legs. I don’t know how I didn’t notice that before. I don’t have a jig saw. Im just kind of upset because I’ve spent well over $20. But at this point I don’t even care anymore. I’ll just figure it out.

[@jameshermes1845]

I'd suggest a cheap (under $20) Oscillating Multi-Tool to cut the notches. You'll find it is a very handy tool to have for many other uses also.

[@1964-l4n]

what size is the block used on the leg to start the shelf?

[@antz8260]

how did you attach the planks to the top and bottom? just screws right into the top?

[@NikkiHodgin]

I wanted to know how to do that part too is it screwed or glue or just resting on top

[@msjoy2005]

I’m mapping out the cut list and trying to see how you got these cuts without only 4 boards. Maybe my math is off

[@blasttorres]

Beautiful, thank you for sharing

Pretty awesome thanks for sharing!!!

[@royestrada1616]

What exactly are the fence boards called again? Can't seem to find them at home depot. Thank you.

[@josephcasey2689]

I`m in the retirement stage of my life. I do a bit of cabinetry, make musical instruments, and carry out woodturning in my little shop. I stumbled upon this woodworking book, “Bαzοmο Tdy Plαn” (Google it), and acquired it despite the fact that I own several woodworking books in the house. The comprehensiveness of this book is astonishing. Every topic of the guide is covered well. .

[@gonzalez-valdez8043]

Best video ever step by step instructions for us newbies. ? To add a middle shelf the process would be the same as the top piece?

[@vintagerevivalshomegardend2351]

Hi, same as the lower one.

[@tobygolding1893]

Very nice how far do you make those screw jig holes & what size screw so it doesn't pop out other side also did you do the same for shelves underneath ? lovely

[@vintagerevivalshomegardend2351]

Hi Toby, The Kreg Jig has information on how to set the jig and what size screws to use to join different sizes of materials. After a while, you can pretty much guess what size to use. Generally, if the second piece of wood being joined is 1", you use 1" screws. If 1.5", use 1.5" screws. Yes, we did the same for the shelves. It's nice when there aren't any visible screw heads. Hope this helps. Dan

[@Nemorust22]

How long did this take to build?

[@pauldeasy1665]

What size screws are you using

[@sandyheredia3027]

I want my husband to make one for me. On the bottom of legs how many inches is the small board located

[@Pinkclouds512]

Great video, thank you!

[@kcbing19]

How did you attach the top boards to the frame on top and the bottom shelf? Did you use screws from the top down into the frame or use some kind of "L" brackets underneath?

[@vintagerevivalshomegardend2351]

Hello, we used screws from the top down. We would normally use Kreg Jig screws from the underneath up into the top. But when using this reclaimed cedar, the cedar isn't dense enough to hold. If we used a pine top, we would definitely Kreg from the underside up. Hope this helps.

[@jazzy2422]

What type of screws are you using and how long?

[@Joshuapoverton12345]

What size cuts on the 1x8 boards ? Did you leave one inch overhang all around the top? Thanks for the video !

[@vintagerevivalshomegardend2351]

Hey Joshua, made that video couple years ago so don’t have the sizes off hand. Thought gave those in first few minutes? But, really starts with the size of the top you want. Then, the base is made approx 1” smaller on each side. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and commenting. Dan

[@amberparker4512]

How did you add the cedar fence boards on top? I couldn't tell if there were screws screwed in or not? If you did screw them in, where would you suggest putting the screws?

[@vintagerevivalshomegardend2351]

Hi Amber, just put a few screws along the 2x4's that support the cedar boards. It's not really critical how many just enough to hold them in place. Thanks for watching/commenting. Best, Dan

[@beardedlocoswoodworks]

Hey Fritoman, thanks, Dan

Pocket holes. Not Kreg jig holes. Plenty of alternatives to Kreg that are priced better.

What stain did you use ? Nice tones.

[@vintagerevivalshomegardend2351]

Hello, The way you see that one is all natural. The reclaimed cedar fence boards came like that. I did stain it later and used a dark stain called Jacobean. You can get it from HD. Another one I use if I want a bit lighter color is special walnut. Thanks for watching. Dan

Pocket screws.

[@hyonker]

I like the basic idea. Am adapting this plan with my own demensions and no 2 X 4s. I bought wood turned legs, 1X4 for frame and bracing and two 1X6s for the top (comes out to 11-inch width table top). No bottom shelf. My table is narrower, but it's going in a hallway.

[@SolVirtus]

great tutorial! what type of saw did you use to notch out the bottom fence boards?

[@vintagerevivalshomegardend2351]

Hi jason, just used a jig saw. Thanks for watching

[@unclemonkey808]

You said 6's but you mentioned 6-10 inch pieces right? Also, I wish you showed us they way you cut and secure the fence boards to the frame and what type of screws?

[@elizabeththrockmorton9318]

He probably just measured the dimensions for the bottom shelf and cut the boards to fit, and he probably used the kreg jig again to secure. You could do whatever dimensions you want for the top.

[@Mark-oj7yt]

Great Video!! Do you recall what was the exact width length and height of this sofa table ?

[@vintagerevivalshomegardend2351]

hi mark, no I don't, but each sofa is different height. I would make yours about 4-6 inches lower than the back of the sofa. hope that helps. Best, Dan

[@drawlings10]

How far is the bottom shelf from the ground?

[@vintagerevivalshomegardend2351]

Hi Drawlings, I don't remember exactly on this one. It depends a lot on what is going on the bottom shelf. And, nothing says you can't have two shelves. In this case we would normally have the bottom shelf surfave approx 10" up from the ground. Hope that helps. Dan

[@MrCamaronazteca]

Great video. Thank you for sharing. What size screws did you use?

[@vintagerevivalshomegardend2351]

Hi Marco, When we are joining 2x4's we use 2" Kreg Jig screws. There is a lot of info on what screws to use when joining different dimension wood. You can google that. We appreciate you watching and commenting And, would appreciate you sharing with your friends. Thx Dan

[@MrCamaronazteca]

[@MrCamaronazteca]

Vintage Revivals Home & Garden Decor. So far so good. I need to cut the bottom board. I went to HD to buy the supplies and found the fence boards on the scrap section for $0.80 so I bought eight so I can make a second table. (Don't think I can attach a picture)

[@vintagerevivalshomegardend2351]

sounds like you are off and running. Hope you have fun. HD will cut them for you if you ask.

You need a better blade on miter saw.

[@da1nonlydstreet]

I'm going to make my attempt at this tonight. I've already got the fence wood, the 2x4's, the kreg jig, and some standard #10 x 1-1/4" wood screws. Does it make a big difference using the jig screws to attach the 2x4's? Also, when lengths are the top and bottom surfaces? Thanks for your video and take care.

I'm guessing he had a flexible shaft extension bit.

[@traviscatkyler1902]

Could I do this without kreg jig?

[@vintagerevivalshomegardend2351]

Hi Travis. You can but the Jig gives you a perfect pocket hole and matched with the Kreg screws. It just goes together so nice and tight. You can buy a portable jig at home depot. They cost about $10. You can usually find them near where the sanders and sandpaper. Take a few minutes to watch the official kreg jig videos to get some info on getting started. Thanks, Dan

[@traviscatkyler1902]

Vintage Revivals Home & Garden Decor and the portable kreg jig could do this right here ?

[@vintagerevivalshomegardend2351]

Hey again, yes it can. The one I use is a Kreg Jig K4. The one I'm referring to is called the Kreg Jig Mini. You just have to move it to drill another hole. If you google "kreg jig" you will see what I mean. There are lots of videos here on KZbin showing the different jigs and how to use them. Hope this helps. Dan
