DIY Farmhouse Sofa Table | TV Stand with Build Plans
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- This is how to build a DIY farmhouse sofa table | TV Stand. This isn't limited to only being used as a sofa table though. You can use this small table as a hallway table, an entryway table, foyer table, console table, even a TV stand for a 65 inch TV, or tons of other uses!! I built this X style table with easy to use techniques that anyone can follow. The X brace in the back of the farmhouse sofa table build gives it a lot of character but also adds to the stability of the table. I went with an ebony stain on the table which gives it a classic farmhouse look and feel. Why buy cheap furniture when you can build your own console table that is a better quality and will last years longer! This build is an easy pocket hole project using the Kreg K5 pocket hole jig. This project can be built using minimal tools and supplies. The only lumber you'll need for this build is: 2- 8 foot 2x6's / 2 - 10 foot 2x4's / 1- 12 foot 1x6 / 1 - 8 foot 1x6. The dimensions of the table are 50 inches wide, 20 inches deep and 30 inches tall. Total cost of the lumber and supplies was less than $75. So you can build a table for under $75! This design might give you some sofa table ideas. Feel free to use this to make your own sofa table bar. A TV stand for flat screens like this in a furniture store would cost you $250 to $350! Don't buy a pre-made tv stand when you can make a tv stand yourself! Check out the information below to find the tools and supplies I used in this build.

I like how your shop space actually looks used! Mess on the floor, dust on the tools...like 99% of us and unlike most UA-cam channels where everything looks like it just came out of the box.
Lol thanks! That’s the only way I know! Get in there and get your hands dirty, hard work! It’s how I was raised. I have no clue how some of these channels have pristine clean shops and tools.
I feel better now knowing it is really okay to be messy. I do occasionally sweep the floor
@@731Woodworks Very expensive dust extraction systems. Lol
I just started woodworking and find it almost impossible to keep everything spotless while you’re working.
Sawdust gets into everything and tools fall over all the time. I was one of those guys that cleaned everything after a use and I’ll do my best but it’s easy to tell when I’m working. Easy
Well, i have been watching you for years, and keep coming back to your old videos for ideas. Thanks for documenting your progress as a woodworker for us.
Thank you for your continued support. I really appreciate you
Who doesn’t like pocket holes? Must be crazy people. Love the channel bud!
Thank you
That board jointing technique with the level is really slick!
Thanks. I got it from someone on Instagram
Yea I agree one of the best tips I’ve seen lately. I Do like this table style
👊🏻
Thank you so much. I watch your videos all the time and you have helped me with insight and tips/ tricks. I am a new DIY craftsman and have been working really hard to support my family in building indoor and outdoor farmhouse projects and furniture. I always seem to get stuck with things in the middle of a build and also trying to figure out what to build next. I really love this line of work due to my 7 plus years doing home repair, build and remodel work. I don't really like the idea of being away from home/family 60 hours a week and making someone else's fortune for them, just to get treated like a number. Your dedication is contagious to me and I have to get on here alot and watch your videos to get back on track. You have no idea how much of a difference and impression you are on mine and most likely Thousands of people. God bless you and your family brother! Thank you very much Sir!!!!!!!
From one retired LEO, I really appreciate your super detailed video on a great build!!! I sure hope when Im done with mine it comes out as nice as yours did!!
Matt, just saw a video of you on Facebook as an ASP talking abt school bus safety. Makes me like your videos that much more! As a LEO myself, that is the one traffic law I enjoy enforcing the most! Thanks for your service and keep up the great videos!
Thank you. I think it’s a big issue nationwide for sure
I have learned over the last 50 years or so, there is no wrong way, there is your way,
my way, and his way.
Thank you, you are inspiring me to take my casual hobby into a possible vocation. This looks great! I have been watching a few of your videos. My local church has a furniture mission to displaced families in need of furniture and household items. I spoke to the man in charge and he says they are always short of tables, coffee tables, end tables and dressers. I am hoping to make a few of those items ( based on your videos) learn the tricks and tips and then donate to the ministry. I wanted you to know your influence is beyond just woodworking.
Hello Matt.
Just found your channel and I plan on this build. I just retired from the fire service after 30yrs. as a fire-medic. Did wood working with my father growing up. You have inspired me to resume the craft I loved as a child. Thank you.
Thank you for your service
I really enjoy your channel and T shirts😊 Praise God. Very encouraging and inspiring. Build an island on wheels and so proud. You make me believe I can start something new. Blessings
Thank you. You can do it!
A beginner right here and I’m learning a ton from your videos man…thank you
I am a welder who wants to be a carpenter/welder. A year ago, I bought a small building 8 x 12 to do some wood work projects in. I have built 6 Squirrel picnic tables and some really bad display cases. The table looks very nice. I will check out many of your videos. Thanks.
thank you
@@731Woodworks can you tell me what length of screws to use. Thanks.
For 2x material I use 2 1/2” screws and for 1x material I use 1 1/4” screws
@@731Woodworks Thanks so much.
HOLY CRAP that calculator!!!! Guess I never thought about finding one that would do fractions. I've just been writing it out on scrap wood.
It’s helpful
Howdy Mr. 731...
I'm in my shop doing "finishing" seal on my Mailbox Makeover...Got your older videos running in the background.
Honestly Matt...I truly love your older videos. It's nostalgic to me, kinda like watching Norm Abraham; New Yankee Workshop when I was a kid.
I've seen this video multiple times already but I am just now noticing where your tablesaw was placed at the time. Window directly behind you/saw blade. Imagine what would have happened if you had a kick back. Lol. Your next video: How to replace and install a new window. HAHAHAHA!!!!
I love this, gorgeous!! My son and his girlfriend would love this ebony stain for their table I'm gonna make for them.
This project is on my to-do list for this week and I am going to make a matching end table. I know this video is an oldie and I am late to the party but one thing I did notice was when you did the pocket holes for the top horizontal rails the pocket holes are facing to the end of the board. I am sure the rest is beefy enough to not make a difference but as a "Best Practice" it would probably be better to have those on the other side so they angle down the length of the side. The top will cover them as well so it is a win/win situation. The lowers of course don't matter as they are in the middle of the vertical "legs". Just something for any other newbies to make note of down the road. Great Video as always.
I really like I really like your stuff I've already made some money off of the stove top noodle boards and the blanket ladder and I'm really encouraged I've been doing woodworking a good whilelong time worked in cabinet shop so finally got me small shop so excited about the new new phase of my life possibly so I definitely am going to attempt to make this table I will keep you posted ty my name is Ronald thank you
Glad you like them!
I've watched hours of how to videos on UA-cam and frankly this has to be my favorite channel this far! I found your channel looking up Christmas tree boxes and I'm so glad I did! I'll tag you on how it went!
Thank you. I sincerely appreciate those comments. Made my day. Can’t wait to see how the project turns out!
I like your Delta Table Saw. I bought a Delta 36-725T2 two months ago and I love it. It is more than I need now but I'm growing into it.
Nice
Another great build Matt! Thanks for providing some addition instruction along the way to help your fellow DIY’ers get the best results. 👊🏻
I appreciate that 👊🏻
Working on one of these right now. Your Instructions I bought were awesome.
Awesome 👏
Ok that looks professional, thank you so much for another great how too, I need a pocket hole jig-definitely
Enjoy your videos, new at woodworking myself I appreciate your tips.
Hi Matt, great to watch and gives great ideas, thank you
SUPER HAPPY i found you on here. I have been watching your videos and it gave me confidence to build some things i wanted. Ive been wanting a table like this when I look them up I dont want to pay over $300 for one so ill definitely be attempting to make one now!
great to hear!
Thank you for the great video's! I have built 3 pcs of furniture so far. The last was a Sofa/TV Console table (without the X) but wrapped the upper and lower parts of the legs with rope and added a cleat on the top of both ends to make it nautical. It came out great! I really appreciate your instructional video's. I have learned to many tips to help understand the different ways to make it look more professional. I sold my store bought furniture, took that money and purchased wood for my "new" custom furniture.
Glad the videos helped
Thank you Matt. This is just beautiful. Gunna make it.........someday!
I decided to get into some weekend wood working and chose to make this my first project,furniture build. I’ve got a long ways to go but it took me the weekend to complete and have put the last coat of sealant on to dry. Ready to use it tomorrow and will post a few pictures, it was fun!
Can’t wait to see it!
731 Woodworks I tagged you on Instagram , on the lookout for my next project! Thanks for the help.
Your explanation is excellent for learning the success. Thank you
11:00 I like the way you do the X with the mark in the middle. I'm gonna try that next time I build something similar. 👊😎
Thank you. I was totally winging that one lol.
This single video has gave me the confidence to finally get into Wood working! Thanks for being so through. Subscribed!
Awesome!
This is definitely on the list! Looks very nice. Thank you!
Haha oops. Thanks for leaving 7:27 in the video. That made me laugh. I'm sure I've done this more. I'm glad I found you on here. You explain things so well. Things I knew and things I never thought about. Love your videos. You don't talk on and on like some do. You get to the point and you edit out the unneeded time. Thanks again. I have lots of videos to watch and catch up on. Hope you keep the videos coming. Thumbs up friend.
glad you liked it! Thank you!
I laughed too. I actually thought oh I know whats going through his mind right now. I don't know why but when that happens to me, it really irritates me. lol.
lol
Love that you explain the details!
Keep up the good work brother. You have come a long way and are doing awesome! You're an inspiration!
Really enjoy your channel and your approach to teaching you building experience. Thank you for your content and builds! Getting some great ideas and leaning a lot from you.
Thank you. Glad the videos have been useful
Nice job! I've watched a few table making videos now and you don't cut any corners, will be following your instructions!
Thank you
Nice build. It came out AWESOME. 👊
Thanks 👍
That ebony stain is absolutely beautiful! Awesome build! You keep me entertained while I'm at the office...working lol
Thank you
Thank you Matt. Ive wanted to start a woodworking side hobby/business for a long time. Really just hoping to make enough to eventually pay for the tools. And I love it so far. Appreciate all of your detailed videos.
Powket holes
Love your work man. You've actually inspired me to try out wood working. Will be a different experience to my day job as an electrician.
Thank you!
Definitely going to use smaller dimensions to make a coffee table and end table to match. First, I have to order the Z clips. Your channel has given me a lot of confidence. Thanks for sharing these awesome builds!
Thank you for this. It's exactly what a friend wants me to build her and I'm super new at this. Your video was just what I needed. And I love your accent!
Thank you
THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS BUILD...LOVE HOW YOU DO THE X...THAT IS EASY FOR ME...
Thank you
Another great project...like the simplicity and the way you did the X is awesome. I learn something new with each of your projects......continue sharing your woodworking projects HOW TO!!!!!!
Thank you!
Great build! Looks really sharp with that ebony stain, farmhouse modern vibe! Thanks for sharing your tips with us all! John 😎👍
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
You never fail to amaze me with your videos I will be making this table for my house. Thanks for your encouragement also
Thank you
Love the Ebony stain
Thank you
When get my shop I will make this. The way you explain this build its easy to understand. Thank you
Thank you
Excellent work. I have been having issues with pocket holes but I figure I just need to get better.
i love the way you explain things...very easy to understand...great tips!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent build
Thank you
I like this build! I might try to build one or two for craft shows later this year! I saved this to my woodworking videos, for reference.
Go for it!
This is exactly what I want for the livingroom tv thanks
Awesome
I love your videos and your approach to woodworking first is little guys who don’t have a shop full of 20,000.00 worth of tools and exotic woods that alone are either impossible to secure in most non metropolitan areas or you need a second job to cover the cost of said wood
Your videos/instructions/tips are in my world.
Harleymike/chicago
I love hearing that! I appreciate that very much. That was/is the goal of my videos. To show that you can have a modest shop and supplies and build awesome projects.
731 Woodworks to my way of thinking someone at the level of TWW or many others like him should not be or would not be going to you tube for instruction /inspiration. They already are at that level and beyond so who. Exactly is their for real target audience. Certainly not the weekend warrior who buys his wood at the big box joints.
Anyway this is not a rant against them rather a praise about you and your teaching methods. Thorough and clear
Thank you!
So I got tire of searching for pencils as well. Try this tip...get a couple of flat rare earth magnets about the size of a quarter. Stick them together on either side of your shirt. Use a pencil with a metal clip on it and stick it to the magnets. Never lose you pencil again. I put a magnet on pretty much anything metal in my shop so I can stick a pencil on it...Bandsaw, miter saw, drill press, all have pencils right there. Hope this helps. Love your videos!
Good tip
Building one soon. Will also buy some things I need anyway using your links. 👍
My your shop has evolved!
lol yes sir it has come a very long way!
Very nicely done. Appreciate you sharing the tips you use as you are building. 10-04, Like it!!
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Great project Matt. We are in the process of having our basement made into a rec room. I'll be making a variety of tables for the room using your general design techniques. Love the craftsmanship.
That sounds awesome! Would love to have a rec room!
I was going to ask what was a tuba-fer but I realized its for making music! Joking aside, I enjoyed the video. I especially like the simplicity of the build.
Thank you
Very nice project.......my daughter wants me to build her one for her apartment. Great video and great tips that I can use in other project.
Thank you
Gonna be attempting this in the near future
I know this is an older video, but I just found your channel. I used to make knives. But ran into some unfortunate circumstances and had to sell all of my tools. I'm down to a small circular say and a jig saw. A router with no bits. Oh, and a square and circular orbital sanders. I'm thinking getting into wood working because the start up tools are cheaper. A jointer, planer or thickness sander together are cheaper than a belt grinder for knife making alone.
I say that to say, your videos are making me impatient! I want to get started. I'm putting together a tool shipping list now. I've got some hand tools on my list but I can get started with what I have. I've been making some bentwood rings. Going to get some wood for a lazy susan or cutting board or enough for both. Plus I have some friends with bigger tools. Drill presses, band saws, lathes if I need stuff like that.
Sorry I'm rambling on. Your videos got me excited. I don't get excited about much. Your mallet video with the honor the fallen coin really earned my respect.
Glad the videos have been helpful. It’s hard to be patient lol
Gathering materials tomorrow and attempting !
Awesome.
Beautiful.
Looks great!
Thank you
That's a beautiful table! 👍
Another awesome video matt, please keep them coming..thanks.
Thank you
Thats how i would’ve marked them boards as well. Great jod
Thank you
And you and your family have a Merry Christmas and God bless you and the police, military and everyone that watches your channel
Merry Christmas
Awesome work
Thank you!
Addicted to your videos.!!
thank you
Looks nice. Thanks for all the videos. Will have to try. It could help with some bills that are coming 👍. Thanks a million
You’re welcome
Great job. Love your teaching and simplicity. I will be making one
Thank you
Love your videos. Keeping it real. Good info and make me laugh.
Thank you
Thats awesome man im a fan of your videos and have learned a lot recently. Thanks to you I've gotten motivated to do something I shoulda started a long time ago.
Awesome 👊🏻
looks awesome!!! thanks for sharing!!
Bravo!!
👊🏻
Excellent job...I’m going build one exactly like it.
Go for it!
Really love that piece man. Never saw such a nice result with the ebony . Definitely gonna make a piece just like that for the living room
Thanks! I bet you'll love it!
Very inspiring work! Honest and to the point while creating a great product! I'm thinking of starting a 2nd UA-cam channel with similar builds, and I will definitely be following you to learn more!
Looks great Matt
Thank you
Awesome instructional video. I've gone through several of yours and am using a lot of your tips on my biggest project that I've ever done which is a 9' x 7' entertainment center. I'm doing it in stages but it's coming out nicely so far.
Nice work Brother, Love your videos
I appreciate that!
I just found this video. I was looking for an idea to change up a bit and this is gona be it. I am gona make this table but with an American flag concealment top. I hope this turns out as nice looking as yours did.
Go for it!
Looks awesome. I will try to make it
Have fun
Great build.. I'll try to do it as my first project ... I'll let you know how that works 😃
Great job, thanks for sharing!
Thank you
Thanks for the information about Doug Fir. Eventually, I will know everything you know! LOL. You have a lot of knowledge based on experience. I know some of it, but I continue to pick up tips from you.
Glad to help!
GREAT TABLE!!!!
Thank you
It looks nice I think you did a good job 👍
Hey, that was pretty fast! One thing they may increase accuracy is stop using a pencil to mark cuts. Using a sharp scribe will greatly improve the cut precision, especially on angles, and eliminate the joint ‘spaces’ that can’t be closed when fastened. Thank you for all your presentations!
They can complain all they want Pocket Holes are still way way better that any piece of that IKEA crap!
👊🏻
Nice build, I appreciate how you explain how to do things without expensive tools. Your jointer method is a great idea, simple to do without clamping the straight edge. I wonder if I can use a slot cutter for the table top fasteners. I like your method for the cross pieces. When they are angled in like that the pocket hole connection works great, especially if you fill the with dowel or plug of like wood. Good job.
Followed your video for the build and it turned out really good.
Awesome

Awesome
Great work! Thanks for sharing,
Thank you
I am thinking that is what I need. I wanted a table for the kitchen to put my cast iron cook ware on. I was thinking of a black pipe rack on the top with floor flanges to hold it to the table. Use a couple of pipe cross pieces and put hooks on it to hang frying pans and the like, the flat surface could hold large pots like dutch ovens. Just measured the spot and 50 inches fits perfectly. Thanks.
