How To Build A Pedestal Table Base

In this video I show you how to assemble a Round Table Pedestal Base step by step. I don't give the measurements in the video, but you can find the PDF plans in the links below! This base is built to support a 5ft round top. I am using standard 2x4's that have been ripped down to 3.25" wide. I hope this video helps you make your very own pedestal base!

Great job Christina... great presentation ..and I like the way you fast forward thru the repetitive steps 😆!

I love this. I tend to make things more complicated than they need to be. This was simple and beautiful

Christina... Great video! I decided to use your plans for a base on an old poker table I have and ordered your plans. During the assembly process I noticed to “red” pieces are missing from your plan’s cut chart! Wasn’t a problem but you might want to correct this!
I’ll keep watching! 👍

Thank you for making this video, your delivery and explanation are clear and concise; great job! My daughter asked me to make a small table out of a round metal platter (approximately 30" round) she purchased. After watching your video I am thinking the non-clap(?) design will be too much wood for a dainty table. Do you have a video/design or suggestion on how I can make a base using less wood? Thank you!

When it comes to wood projects the videos are never to long if you enjoy woodworking

[MiriamPerez-sljx]

Can you supply me the plans, I think your a genius. I love how you make it look so easy.

How thick are your table tops? Would one inch be sufficient? Thanks for putting this info together about building a pedestal base.

[FredMcIntyre]

The plan doesn't have how long to cut the red board. please send measurements.

What paint do you use for a white base on a table and do you use any polycrylic on your tables with white paint?
