This is my first woodworking project ever. IT TURNED OUT AMAZING!!!
Got the inspiration here on ana white and then followed DIYpete on youtube.
For my table I used 4x6 on the outside and all 2x6 on the inside, really gave it the look of a really thick table. Warning, it is really heavy. But felt pads on the bottom and it slides like a dream.
I did purchase a Kreg Jig and Kreg Screws for this project but other than that it was all douglas fir from HD and cost about 150 bucks.
Super fun, took about 5 hours to build and week to stain and poly.
We did a first coat of stain with weathered grey and the second coat with Dark Walnut. Looked a little odd at first, but the poly really made it pop.
Let me know if you have any questions. NOW on to the next project, I think I am addicted.

table top
So are you saying on the table top you used 4x6 on the 4 outside edges, and then 2x6 on the inside? It's hard to tell how thick the table top is in the picture. Looks great!
