Building my NEW Office Table

 

how to Building two by four table

plans for building a two by four tableFirst measure, re-measure and again measure your wall or your area, make a very detailed plan. This is the way I did mine, not a pro, not a carpenter, don’t over think it.  I just used two by fours, screws, white paint and time. 
Off to get lumber, Husband checked my numbers so there are not a return trip. I didn’t purchase the top at this time. I wanted the base together and MAKE sure I had the right size cut.   I wanted this table heavy and not able to move around when my sewing machine was going. I did the legs this way.

With Husbands help added two by fours to the outside edges. After see the space under the table I added a shelf, which I love having.

Back to Lowes, for the table top. I like to do this talking with the gentlemen cutting the wood, which side will have the best edge after cutting? This guy was HARD to warm up, but I told him it was me building the table and I was asking out of no knowledge and it WORKED !

This is the top and Husband did the cuts for the new under shelf. I did 2 thin coats of stain and LOTS of satin top coats, sanding with a brown bag in between loads, this took days. DO NOT hurry drying.
