A DIY Coffee Table, Anybody Can Build - (6 tools, forgot to mention Router)

WOODWORKING PLANS

In this episode I'm building a very DIY Coffee Table / Bench. This woodworking project is relatively easy, and can be built using only a:
Circular Saw
Jig Saw
Router
Drill
Sander
and Brad nailer

Plus clamps, glue, etc... Even thought it isn't too difficult, it still takes some time and patience. But I'll walk you through the whole process and even provide a PDF of the template used if you'd like to try your hand at it.

the fact that your wearing union 4s while making this project has earned my subscription

I really appreciate this style of video. I'm an intermediate level woodworker, but I currently don't have any larger tools, including a table saw. That can be a little rough when almost every project I watch from almost every channel I subscribe to uses the table saw heavily, and I know if I had one I could tackle the projects. Luckily, I do have a circular saw and jig saw, so its nice to see a video and project that don't center a majority of the cuts around a table saw.

Edit: that all said, I used to have access to a table saw, and I will have one again some day so that's not a jab at projects with heavy table saw usage. It's just refreshing to see projects that I can take a swing at with what I currently have without having to get too creative with my cuts.

Im so happy when theres a video with the old school foureyes style! Thanks!

[KomarProject]

Dude I absolutely love this design. So cool 😎

[terristroh]

I like the design aspect of that shelf being tucked under.

Great design and finally a project for someone like me, a simple DIY folk without tons of equipment.

[jparky]

I really like that.

Shows you don't need fancy tools or expensive wood ( all wood is expensive right now.. but you know what I mean. ) to make a striking piece.

Why would anyone want to bench press 138lb!!!!

Such a simple yet striking piece of furniture. Thank you as always.

[josevillanueva]

Awesome job. Congratulations. I like that style thanks for sharing. Greetings from El Salvador. Happy new year.

Would love to see more project videos like this on your channel! I gave one of your older builds (the one legged hall/coffee table) a shot using the limited tools I have and I was pretty happy with it. Will try this one next!

[tylerhuttosmith]

Looks kind of like a Nelson bench coffee table! I really dig it. Added to future builds. Thanks

I love the idea of minimal toolset project (because my toolset is even more minimal :-) but I would love to see the other tools and equipment called out as well.

- How many clamps? What sizes and types?
- Did you say a rasp?
- Which measuring tools?
- Roughly how much sandpaper and which grits? What about a glue brush? Finishing tools? Etc.

I normally wouldn't complain, but the total outlay for these, especially the clamps, can be more money than any one of the power tools, and a beginner woodworker probably won't have them just lying around.

I love that you’re doing this job in Union 4’s.

Love the videos. This is actual good content that YouTube needs more of.

[patrickduffey]

I'm so glad you are going to help me with my patience

[ohmalley]

really love that you revisited the thoughtful, philosophical timbre of video that you used to produce -- i've missed it!

[chancecsmith]

Great design per usual. I super appreciate the occasional diy friendly piece for those with a more modest workshop.

[ИванИванов-мчо]

I like your designs. They're modern, sleek and well thought out. A form of art IMO

[HyperactiveNeuron]

Love this!

Excellent point about efficiency by completing one step for each piece before moving on another task. Constantly changing bits, blades or fence settings gets tedious and introduces error.

[dreamworkshop]

The "sculping" with a sander part is really enjoyable to see. Great project! I'm learning a lot with your videos. Thank you for sharing

[mohedaicebear]

Loved this video, especially because of your specialty in unique designs. It's cool to see the classic Chris with tools limited tools.
