Modern End Table / Side Table DIY Woodworking Project by Jon Peters

This is the third piece of furniture I’ve made with Douglas Fir. There are links to the other two projects below and all include free design plans on my website. For this project, Imade a small end table or side table because I had one really nice bored left over from the sofa table build.  The Douglas Fir board measured only 70“ x 7 1/4“  so I had some design constraints and decided to make a simple box and used dovetails as the decorative element. My favorite part of the project was shaping the legs and I’ll probably use something similar to this leg design in a future project.

Lots of handcut dovetails. Very nice.

Beautiful project! I'm sure there are "many" out there who would sneer at using 2x4's, but I find the grain on Douglas Fir so amazing and nobody said every piece has to be expensive mahogany!! Great Job Jon!

Sr. Jon lo de usted es hacer muebles con diseño y buen gusto, y con esta tecnica hasta parece usted japones por su estilo y paciencia, gracias por este nuevo video

Pine is overrated and overhated at the same time. In this clean simple design with clear finish its natural beauty pops and it is pleasing to look at. When it’s used to mimic more expensive woods for no reason I want to never see pine again. Thanks for the reminder that pine can be beautiful when use correctly.

My wife loves your videos not because of the woodworking but she loves the sound of your voice :)

[JohnHeisz]

Well done, Jon. I like the design and material choice, the dovetails really look great in the douglas fir.

So perfect in all aspects: cut, assembly, and finish! Amazing.

I like that sofa table very much, and the end table is very good, too. Good ideas for the future.

Am I the only person amazed by the free hand pencil marking hes doing?

[RobinLewisMakes]

Really like the leg joint to the top. It's simple but should work well

That sure turned out great. Those dovetails really give the finished product a sharp & unique look. Very cool. Another great video!

The table looks great, Jon, and those dovetails in pine are fantastic.

Jon, I need two bedside tables. Love this design. I am going to give a go!! Thanks. :)

[CodeFoxAus]

You put me onto Mohawk a few years back and I've loved using the products (even tho they're difficult to get in Australia).

[BOBBY-etxb]

Fantastic Jon. And thanks for free plans.

[Darrell_Coquillette]

That looks great! My only minus is that you went through all the trouble of hand cut dovetails and then used screws
to assist in holding the legs on. They can be seen, and are not pretty. Thanks for the videos and for the format of
explaining what you are doing and why. Thanks again Jon!

You've been using Mohawk products for as long as I have been alive. That's loyalty.

Totally awesome project Jon! Beautiful job on those dovetails. I always come away learning something from watching one of your :)
