![]() Wiping it in and off in a very light layer. So I added a watered down white paint layer, I stained the entire project with "golden oak" by Varathane. Then I sanded with 120 grit sandpaper in the direction of the wood grain. I also filled the corners that ended up having small gaps. I filled the few nail holes with wood filler. I nailed the inside panels on with 1-1/4" brad nails. I had to use a screw to help me pull the panel back in place when I was setting it (see the screw at the top left?). The inside pieces are 1x12s pocket holed together and set in place. Then I cut the bottom pieces, attach together and then fit inside the two face frames and attach to the coffee table. On the underside of the top (and later the bottom shelf) I added the 1x2 supports to help support the center of the coffee table. Then I repeated those steps for the two side panels.įor the corners, I nailed with 1-1/4" brad nails. I drilled pocket holes to attach the two pieces together, and also pocket holes to attach to the face frames.Īfter joining the two 1x12 pieces together, I attached to one of the face frames. Do double check your cuts and make sure they are straight all the way across. It was actually a challenge to make the 45 degree bevel cuts on the saw, the 1x12s wanted to move on me as I was cutting. The two face frames need to match EXACTLY. Then I clamped the face frame boards and attach with 1-1/4" pocket hole screws. I was careful not to let any pocket holes show on the side edges of the face frame boards. Then I drilled 3/4" pocket holes on the ends of the shorter face frame boards. This is the smallest saw I would recommend, a 12" would work better. I am using a 10" sliding compound miter saw. The 1x3s I actually ripped from 1圆 boards to get that square edge.Īfter testing my saw, I cut the face frame boards first. ![]() My 1x12s ended up measuring 11-1/8" wide - just make sure all the 1x12 widths are the same. ![]() I did run the boards through the table saw to create the square edges. Do not attempt this project without the right tools and a good amount of building experience. This coffee table was a challenge for me, but I enjoyed stretching my skills and creating something I was super proud of in the end.
