Directions

  • Cut Coffee Table Footers

    Cut the 2x6 coffee table footers down to size and miter off an angle of 15 degrees on the top. Make four of these.

    Step 1

  • Add Foot Pads

    Add 1x6 foot pads to two of the coffee table footers using wood glue and a brad nailer with finish nails. The two footers with the footpads will be the footers to go on the bottom of the coffee table sides.

    Step 2

  • Add Top of Footer

    Add 1x6 top piece to all four footers using wood glue and a brad nailer with finish nails.

    Step 3

  • Add Osbourne Legs

    Attach the Osborne legs first to the bottom footers using wood glue and a brad nailer with finish nails and then attach the top. Wood legs should be 3.5" a part. Once the legs are secure, place the coffee table sides into clamps and let them sit for at least 2 hours.

    Do this for both sides.

    Step 4

  • Attach Middle Brace

    Add 2x6 middle brace to the coffee table sides using a Kreg Jig on a 1 1/2" setting using 2 1/2" pocket hole screws and wood glue. Kreg holes should be placed on the side of brace facing down.

    Step 5

  • Attach Top Braces

    Add 2x4 top braces to the coffee table sides using a Kreg Jig on a 1 1/2" setting using 2 1/2" pocket hole screws and wood glue. Kreg holes should be placed on the side of brace facing down.

    Step 6

  • Attach Top Middle Braces

    Attach the two 2x4 top middle braces using a Kreg Jig on a 1 1/2" setting using 2 1/2" pocket hole screws and wood glue. Kreg holes should be placed on the side of brace facing down.

    Step 7

  • Attach Coffee Table Top

    Assemble 2x6 coffee table top boards using wood glue, biscuts and a Kreg Jig on a 1 1/2" setting using 2 1/2" pocket hole screws and wood glue. 2x6s were put down to 5" each using a thickness planer and jointer.
