This is the simplest way to assemble this kind of build that I've seen from the many videos that show furniture with this sort of alternating cuts of 2x4s. Thank you for the vid. I'm glad I continued to search and came across yours after seeing many of the others.
That's great to hear, thank you!
I am a novice woodworker and I love all your DIYs. I love how you give the wood measurements, the list of items needed, everything. My son and I made a farm bench under your instructions and it was great. Our second project was under someone else’s instruction and we had a difficult time, even though it was a beginner project. We will be purchasing your book. I love my new hobby...Thanks to you guys. I will be making this!
Thanks so much!!
I'm so excited to have found your channel.. We have been moving houses a lot and you know what that does to the furniture 😭 but now the one we moving into is my retreat my sanctuary and Im happy to be taking your plans with me the only thing I'm buying are sofas but the rest we making 😀 thnk u so much from South Africa..oh Im in love with your channel simply beautiful...
I built the $40 farmhouse table you all did a couple years ago. Thank you so much, it came out great for my first built and doing it all alone (it wasn’t easy at all though)
I’m planning to try this out but go with singular slabs rather than the multiple ones they had here! Is drilling hard? Never used a drill before LOL
Awesome! Love hearing that!
I see you two are handling yourselves well during the pandemic. Been doing some of your projects while i am locked down.
I tried this. I came well. I made some mistakes. Eventhough it came very good. Thank you
I made it! I added a shelf with pocket holes and stained it dark gray. The gel stain I used was a little thicker than I expected. Thank you so much for this clear video!!!
We made this today! Thank you.
Would love to see a desk like that or an industrial one.
Easy and beautiful wood work.. thank you for the video
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!
Looks really good, easy peezy and good lookin'...my kinda project lol
Just made this. I love it!!
Классная идея, молодцы.
Every time my husband hears this music...he knows he’ll be helping me with another project! 😂
Haha! Love it!
This is awesome! If i wanted the table 40 inches high. What what be the measurements/how many 2x4s would I need? I wanna do this project!
*would
@@rickgeller6043 lmao. Thanks bro. I was having a brew and my math didn't work out haha. I got it tho! 👍🏽
🤣🤣
I’m wondering if I could use gorilla glue to make this instead of screws do you think it would work?
Super j'adore merci à vous 😊
this is awesome
Nice I like it good job
I have missed the videos you guys post! Its good to see some new content! I really enjoyed it! Thanks for the great idea!!!
Missed? That was the first one I've seen and won't ever watch another.
Thanks, Greg!
Easy job. I noticed no glue ? any reason or just later on if you decide you don't want it you have spare wood to reuse ??
We didn't find it necessary for this project. Feel free to add :)
anyone know what kind of wood and sandblock grit?!
I'm going to build this but there is no way that is only $40.
I just made this and the wood alone was over $60. Add the screws and stain and it was just shy under $100. Still really nice table, though.
I just went yesterday to my homedepot and spent $65 on the wood and $9.99 on the screws. And I already had the stain from previous projects. But this was by far more affordable than half the tables I was wanting to purchase.
😎👍
$40? These day, you have to add an extra 0 to the end.
Omg. Do a damn voice over. Get it together y'all. This isn't ikea.
Really like the darker ends, adds so much to the table and an easy build. Thanks
I love this idea! Modify the dimensions, and it would make a beautiful garden or entryway bench. Simple design and the possibilities the endless! Great job! Thanks guys! Take care!
I love how easy and inexpensive these projects are, and they are so beautiful. I’m making this for sure! Thank you! 😊
I would have trimmed the lumber to remove the rounded edges and sanded flush. The piece would have looked a lot more expensive. No offense but the way it sits, it looks like you only spent $40 on it.
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.
You two always do a great job, make it clear to understand and affordable 👍. Henry and Blanca are a bonus
I’ve made benches similarly. I love this plan. You can be sure I will build this. Thanks for the tutorial.
Love all the work you all do, and absolutely love how detailed you are in your tutorials. I'm just curious where it is that you find your materials for each of your projects to meet the price you list on your videos. I've priced around, and can never find materials anywhere close to the prices posted. For example, this says $40, but the least expensive ive been able to find just the 2x4's at is $79
Here in western PA a 2x4 at lowes is $3.29. You can get premium 2x4s at the local lumber yard for 4.19. So at 3.29 plus the cost of the screws the price seems right.
Thanks for following! You can get a 2x4x8 at Home Depot (here in the Minneapolis are for $3.92). Costs will vary based on location and the type of wood (for instance cedar is considerably more expensive.)
Thank you so much! I just bought mt very first house and am trying to learn more about being able to do what if is that you do and make it seem so easy.
Thank you so much for responding with respect and not defensiveness, for I was asking for understanding.
Thank you for raising my confidence!
I'm planning on using A LOT of your DIYs when I move in a few months.
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.
I think I missed something lol how are the screws not hitting eachother? It looked like they were all being screwed down in the same spots in the legs atleast
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.
Can anyone help me? I need to change the dimensions to 27”L x 36”h. What should the measurements be for the wood?
I love how you accidentally got a nice arrow pattern in the wood. I'm doing this! Thanks for such a great video!
You helped me out tremendously fr! I want to make a 60×30×15 console table. The actual one I wanted is between $1,000 & up and I mean UP. No! I came across your video and I was like ok husband get ready lol. We are making this! If possible, could you please give me the exact measurements of 2×4s I need for the top and sides to achieve my project???? Plzzzzz!!!! Thanks in advance and may God continue to bless you and your family and those gifted hands.
The math isn't mathing, shouldn't each piece be 4 inches less 28", 32" and the long piece be 8 " difference?
روعتك ياصديقي تمنا لك النجاح 🌹👍☝️🔔
I'd rip the rounded edges off instead of creating dust collectors
To do a 70 inches long with 18 width and 30 high what will be the measurements
I like this. I think I’m going to do this. Nice job. 👍 Your dog threw a great toss. That’s a lot of trim screws. 162, I believe (18 per layer x 9). Time to buy that 2nd battery I want.
man, I had no idea how much i missed your guys' videos! that music, the prep list...it's been too long!
Aww! Thank you!
I did those same thing a few years ago, just made it lower and wider with a component rack below and it’s my tv stand.
Love watch videos without people talking.
Can this be done with 1 x 2s? If so, what would be the measurement
We just made this today and LOVE it. Thank you!
Easy project and so many possibilities for width and length. Will be making a bench. Missed y'all!
Thank you -- good to be back!
The Rehab Life Is there any specific kind of wood you would recommend? And if I want the colour to be more of a paint instead of a stain, are there any special instructions I need to follow to apply the paint so it’s even and coated well?
Love your guy's channel keep it up 👍
I’ve done so many of your projects the past few months. Please make more of these videos!!!
Hey!!!! Rehab Life is back!!! Miss these videos and music! Gave me the chills once I heard this song again! New project I need to make this weekend! Thank you guys for your DIY videos.
Thank you! Good luck on the build!
Love this!!! I can’t wait to give this project a try!
Thanks for this video!!! I made this table in 40 minutes. And I love it. Keep posting more videos. You guys are money savers.😃

I just made this over the weekend but instead of a console table, I changed the dimensions and made it 2 inches taller and 10 inches shorter so that it's now a makeup vanity. For the stain, I chose Cognac. Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for the idea:)
love it!
I love it! I will have to make one....or a few.
Love it we are definitely doing this project this coming weekend. WHAT STAIN BRAND DID YOU USE? Minwax?
I was wondering the same thing!
Great video and really easy to follow, made a slightly slimmer version of this and using it as a decorative fire surround. Brilliant channel.
I like this project
Love it! Looking forward to my new plant table thanks to your video!
Thanks for the video. Something is not adding up for me for the 39" board used in 2nd row. Shouldn't this be 38", as we have 4'' on two sides used by the 46" board in the 1st row? (46 - 4 - 4 = 38)
wondering the same
2x4 is the nominal size. Their actual size is 1.5x3.5
I love this video so much! Thanks for posting such well edited and easy to follow along vids. I have never built something before so had a question: I’m planning to build a similar console for under my wall mounted TV. The TV is 86in so the console top will be 90in. I want to join 2 slim pre cut live oak slabs of 48in each. How do I secure those 2 together? Do I use a metal plate across? Also how do you figure out what length screws to use? Lastly, do you just attach the screw to the drill bit and run the drill? Sorry if these are stupid questions!
I have questions too. I want to make this console table but I need it to be 6 feet long and 3 feet tall. I'm not mathematically inclined 😩
Hi!!! Could you tell me what measurements I would need to build this to be 52 length x 30 height? Thanks!
I'm glad you asked about the height because I would like this as a TV stand. Add a couple of storage areas with doors and some shelving in the middle.
I think it gonna be 10 pieces of 26" 1/2
Ten pieces of 30"
Five pieces of 52"
Five piecesof 45
So amazed what can be made with basic 2x4s. Gorgeous!
What kind of wood did you use?
Awesome job, thanks for sharing.
Wow...!!! Simple and easy to do ... Today I will ...
Greetings from Querétaro, Mexico ...
Hello and thank you!
My wife wants me to build this console. She also wants a storage ottoman that would slide under it, but slightly deeper (protrude wider than console). Do you have any plans like that?
Here from TikTok. Thanks for sharing.
LOVE LOVE LOVE! If I wanted to make this table in a different size, is there an easy way to figure out the math for the size boards I’ll need?
So stupid simple but, so freakin cool too!! Hoping all is well guys, Dirty Jersey out!!
This absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for the inspiration ❤️
Leaving this comment if someone else if also confused like us. Math is this video is correct because 2*4 lumbar is 2*3 1/2 in reality.
I think I’m going to change the dimensions to make a desk. Where would you guys put in support, if any? I think it’ll be around 60 in length.
You guys are awesome !
I just added a new Facebook account, “bible lesson” you guys are welcome to join.
What type of stain is that?
Great videos .. love it
I love this for my first woodworking project. Has anyone done the measurements to add in a shelf? I assume everything is the same except that I’d have to slot in 1 1/2” on maybe 8 of the courses.
I didn’t realize how heavy of a table this would be until after I had assembled it.
10 2x4s is *a lot* of wood. It’s deceptive all the smaller pieces, right?
Awesome table. I’m trying to use this idea to build a sofa table but I need it 62 1/2 inches long would need it 32inch tall but 28inch for stools to fit under. And 20” deep…What dimensions would I use for these cuts? Thanks
What do you think?
My husband knows all this but he’s really busy, so am I but I have a little more time before baby comes so why not try to remodel on a budget
I loved the video and would definitely want the try it.. is they a way to get the exact measurements if I have to make this, exaclty 5 ft long and 3 ft high
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.
Could you tell me how much wood I would need if I want to make my table 58 inches long and 36 inches high and 16inches wide please I really want to make this
I love this project!❤️❤️❤️
Can you give me an exact link for the type of screws you guys bought?
That's a really cool little table. Great idea. I would love to build it but I don't have the $500 needed to buy the lumber needed. Lol.
You got some really straight 2x4s. They didn't looks twisted, cupped, or anything. Loved how detailed the video is.
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
Hey there... when you added your shelf to this project, did you use 2x4's or a wood board? Any pics?
@mzzcookiecook I used 2x4 for the shelf attached to the sides. I also built a rolling 3 sided platform on the floor underneath out of 1x16x68 pine.
@@username-mark Thanks for the quick reply. I wanted to use this console for a TV stand also. I was going back and forth deciding between inserting a board or attaching 2x4’s for the shelf. I think I will do like you and keep the 2x4’s going!
Love this, like Lego with wood 😀
Hello! Love this video, do you know what the dimension would be for an entry and coffee table?
If I made this but longer, say 60 inches, would I need a support in the middle?
Thank you. Seems like I can do this. Subscribed !!
Can u extend the length without compromising the middle sagging?
I wish I was good at math. I would love to do a coffee and end table build to match LOL
Me and my husband did it 😊 Thanks a lot for the amazing tutorial . .... wish I could post a photo of ours 😉
glad you guys are back!!!
