Your console base should now be complete and ready for the tabletop.
Step 4:
Your console should know look like this:
Step 5:
Add X braces to sides of the console using
wood Glue and
2" Brad Nails. For this console my angle cuts were made at approx. 36 degrees. For the best fit, measure your wood pieces against the console, measure and then cut.
As seen here, I am putting the 2x2 up against the console; I then mark a line from the back and just make my cut from that. It makes its a lot easier to cut the X to the right fit.
Once I make the cut for my longer x brace piece and secure that down, I use the same technique for the smaller x pieces and fit them into place with
wood Glue and 2" Brad Nails.

and DONE! My X console table is complete. I used
Minwax Provincial for my finish and it turned out great!.
The best part about this project is that it didn't take a whole lot of time and it was fairly cheap. Sounds like a win win to me.
I can't wait to see the X console table you create.I can't wait to see the X console table you create. Thanks for Reading Guys, XOXO Ashley
