DIY Modern Outdoor Coffee Table | NATHAN BUILDS

This is my first video so let me know what you think/ give me a thumbs up/ subscribe as more videos are coming!

I built a modern outdoor coffee table out of 2x4s. I loved how this turned out. It matches the outdoor sofa I just built (video coming soon).

If I did this again I would:
1. Use a paint sprayer for the finish or use cedar
2. Use three 2x10s for the top since the 2x4s warped some
3. Use a darker stain

I used a table saw, orbital sander, drill/driver, miter saw and pocket hole jig. You could do this whole project with a hand saw and drill if you had to.

Cut list:
4x - 1.5x3 - 1' 2 1/2" - legs vertical
4x - 1.5x3 - 2' 1/2" - legs horizontal
1x - 1.5x3 - 3' 10 1/2" - bottom stretcher
7x - 1.5x3 - 4' 5" - slats
2x - 1.5x2.5 - 4' 5" - end slats

Great job. I’m going to use your frame but top will be cedar. I have some left over from my deck box.
Good job woodworking brother.

Great design! Simple yet sturdy. I think I'll make it with my scrap lumber

[jamesmorrison]

Thank you for sharing your build, and I really like the simplicity of the design. One suggestion I would have made during the construction would be to use a round over bit on a router to ease the rough edges on the the top prior to finishing with stain and poly. Keep up the good work!

I literally start watching this video with a Modelo on my hand 👌🏻👌🏻 cheers

Nathan, very nice, honest video. I was looking for videos to build a dining table, yours was the only one that most people could do. The other videos I watched, they had machinery that, to purchase, it would be cheaper to buy a table.
I've been done some projects for our new house and I will try your table. Thank you for the time and effort to put this video together
Take care!

Excellent, very simple and beautiful.

[FormerDelusional]

Well done! I'm a complete beginner and want to make an outdoor armless sofa. I think I can modify this to make one and save some money. Thanks!

[ratchriat]

did you use 2x4 timber is that strong enough for outdoor you made easy and simple to make love it.

[cirosochyesposito]

Thanks so much for sharing your excellent video! What measures will be the legs for a patio table?

[atcarter]

Awesome job well explaned!!!! Just one question is the wood treated?

[RogerPerkin]

Could you scale up this plan for a dining table?

[tonyh]

I'm new to woodwork, could someone explain to me if those stretchers would be a problem for the contracting and expansion of the bottom leg? From what I've read, this would cause cracks in the wood?

[rebeccatissot]

Bonito bom gosto parabéns brasil pf vc devia colocar as medidas largura das madeiras de cima e os pés

[Robocoppat]

On an average, what size pocket screws would you say you use the most? Great video by the way 👍😀

[jakejenkins]

You should lay out everything you need before starting the project

[paulbetka]

Where's the instructions.
Measurements ❓👍
