Tools Used:


Step 1: Assemble Farmhouse Coffee Table Side

First, you will assemble the two sides of the coffee table by attaching 2x4 braces to 4x4s. You will assemble the boards together using a Kreg Jig and  with pocket Hole Screws to attach along with wood Glue. There should be a 2" spacing from the 2x4 brace and the floor. After finishing this step, you should have two assembled sides for the DIY farmhouse coffee table base.

The top 2x4 should be flush with the 4x4s and the pocket holes on the bottom board should be facing downward and the pocket holes on the top board should be facing upward.

Step 2: Add Decorative X Boards

Next, you will attach the decorative x boards to the assembled sides of the coffee table. You will attach the angled 4x4 braces to the assembled coffee table using pilot holes and wood screws.  You will repeat this step for the other side of the coffee table base.

For the best fit, before cutting your Xs, measure the boards against your assembled side.  (4x4s braces in place of 2x4s shown in picture)

Before cutting Xs, measure against your assembled side and mark for best fit/cut. (Note: Pictures shows table using all 4x4s)

Step 3: Create Coffee Table Base

Next, you will begin forming the base by attaching the two sides together. First, you will assemble the bottom shelf by attaching the three 2x8s together using biscuits along with wood glue.

The bottom shelf should be ripped to match the length of the 2x4 stretcher on the table sides. You will then attach the bottom shelf to the bottom 2x4 braces on the two base sides using a Kreg Jig and pocket Hole Screws to attach along with wood glue.

Next, you will attach the top 2x4 brace to the top of the assembled coffee table base using a Kreg Jig. Be sure to place the pocket holes facing upward so that they are hidden by the coffee table tabletop.

To assemble the coffee table top you will attach 2x10s together using a biscuit joiner and biscuits to glue up the table top. You may also use a Kreg Jig K4 Pocket Hole System on a 1 1/2" setting, with  2 1/2" Pocket Hole Screws to attach along with wood glue for extra support.

For the finish, Kyle and Audrey used Minwax Early American for the table top with Semigloss polyurethane, and Cotton Blossom by Behr (with a base grey paint) for the bottom. (220-grit sand paper for distressing). They also added in those beautiful baskets like these. Now its time for you to take a go and make your own DIY coffee table.
