Rustic Farmhouse Coffee Table

April 14, 2016

Rustic Coffee Table by Sawdust 2 Stitches

Hey there,  make sure you join  me on  Instagram and Facebook  to keep up with our most recent projects and sneak peeks!

Today I am super excited to bring you some brand spankin’ new build plans!  Today I will be showing you how to build a Arhaus inspired Rustic Farmhouse Coffee Table.Rustic Farmhouse coffee table

Recently,  I have been seeing a lot of pipe shelves and I  love the concept of boards/planks  spanning over the vertical pipe frames. So I got to thinking… I wanted to created the same concept using wood. Then one fateful day I came across an shelf that did just that! Arhaus has a discontinued line that embodied what my brain was trying to put together! (So stay tuned for accompanying pieces, because I have big plans!)

Step 1.

 Cut List:

1″x 3″=

  • (6)   @ 28″
  • (20) @ 21″
  • (4)   @ 20 1/2″
  • (16) @ 14 1/4″ with 45 degree angles (See Step 3. for more details)

1″x 4″=

  • (12) @ 48″

 Step 2.  Assemble Legs

Sandwich the 28″ horizontal supports in-between the 21″ legs.  Use the diagram below to reference the correct spacing.   Use wood glue to secure and reinforce with 1 1/2″ finish nails. Repeat, and repeat. (You will need three of these.)

 Step 3.  Assemble “X” Supports

Assembling these are much easier than they look.  Use wood glue and and finish nails to secure all boards. When attaching the angle cut boards, first add glue, and then “toenail” it in place. (Essentially nail it at an angle.)  Then repeat, and repeat again, and again…  You are gonna need four of these suckers. Rustic Farm House Coffee Table_Page_3


  Step 4.  Spray Stain

Time to add the finish.   For this project I knew I wanted it to be stained, but really  did not feel like getting in the all nooks and crannies of this build… and let’s face it, I am a touch impatient.  So I pulled out my trusty sprayer, and went to town. (Yes,  you can use stain in a sprayer!)  I just popped up my HomeRight Spray Shelter and was good to go.  Honestly, if you are at all a do-it-yourselfer this spray tent is ideal.  It is big enough to fit large projects but small enough to fit in a garage!

  Step 5. Assemble Table

When adding the “X” supports to the legs, I first applied glue, and then used  1 1/4″ wood screws ensure the  “X” supports are securely attached to the legs.

  Step 6. Add Planks

Last step of the build is to add the planks.  There will be a total of (6) boards on top , and (6) boards on the bottom. Secure with wood glue, and reinforce with 1 1/2″ finish nails.

 Step 7.  Add Hardware (optional)

If you would like to add a little more character to this table, then try adding some hardware! I used 3/4″ hex bolts, and added washers to bulk up their  appearance. I simply  drilled 5/16″ holes through the center of the posts.

bolts

Before adding the bolts I decided to use spray paint to customize the color.(Pictured: Rust-oleum Soft Iron)  When inserting the bolts, I added a small dab of glue to the inside of the drilled hole. ( I wanted to make sure that the bolts didn’t mysteriously  go missing.)

    Whatever is the cheapest! 🙂 It depends on the project, because I am usually trying to create on a small budget for the readers sake I try and use cheaper materials. Pine is usually my go to.

    This looks great!

    Quick question, should I have (20) of the 1″x3″ @ 21″? Or are the X supports attached directly to the single frame?

    Thanks! Can’t wait to start on this project!

Meet Corey

Hi everyone, my name is Corey, and I have a problem. I can’t leave well enough alone… The best therapy usually involves a variety of power tools. So, in the few “spare” moments I am not entertaining my two beautiful, rambunctious, boys, I can typically be found hunched over a sewing machine and/or covered in sawdust. All in the efforts to create a perfect balance of aesthetics and practicality in our home.
