Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!
This project can be built with either countersunk screws or the Kreg Jig. I give directions for both in the diagrams. You can click on any diagram for an expanded view.If you are using the Kreg Jig, go ahead and mark all pocket holes and predrill, with your jig set for 1 1/2" stock, as shown above.Otherwise, predrill holes with a countersink bit and fasten with 2 1/2" wood screws and glue.
I made mine without :( and regretted it. Just has such a nice touch with the breadboard ends. Just finished up the end tables, and will post shortly, and they look so much better with the breadboard ends. If you choose not to make the breadboard ends, simply cut your tabletop boards to 48" lengths.
Anna, Looks great. What type of wood did you use? I am concerned about using a non treated wood for the outdoors. Is there a special finish needed if the wood is pine?
