How To Build Your Own Rustic DIY Console Table

Most people don’t give much thought to a table, especially a console one.

If placed in the right spot, a console can become a focal point. A console table can make a great first impression in the entranceway. It can display fine wine racks and small knick-knacks, such as your keys, which can be easily lost.

Step 1: Measure The Wood And Cut It

These measurements will help you make the boards that you require.

  • From the first 3 cmx20cm, you will get two pieces measuring 152cm long
  • Two pieces measuring 145cm long, each from the other 3 cmx20cm
  • One piece of 145 cm length from the 3 cmx15cm
  • Four pieces of 13 cm each, all from the same 3cmx15cm
  • From the 5 cmx5 cm to the 4 76 cm pieces,
  • One piece measuring 145cm long from the second 5 cmx5cm
  • Six eleven

To safely cut wood, use your miter saw.

Step 2: Combine The 3×15 Cm Boards

Take all 3 cmx15cm boards and arrange them in this way. The 13 boards of 3/10cm should be parallel to the piece measuring 145 cm. This board of 145 cm will be the backside of your console table.

Use the finish nails to attach the boards. Begin by attaching the boards to the ends.

Flip the boards over and then nail the two remaining 3 cmx15cm x13 3/10cms in place. These boards should be evenly spaced apart. They should be at least 120 cm from each other.

Step 3: Place The 3 Cmx20cm 145 Cm Boards One Side.

One 3 cmx20 cm x 145 cm board. As shown, place it flush to the front.

Attach the finish nails to the sides of it.

It’s now time to secure the second 3 cmx20cm x145cm board at the end.

Step 4: Place The 3 Cmx20cm X152cm Across The Top

Flip the boards over again. Next, lay the first piece of 152 cm length on top. Keep it in line with the backside.

Step 6: Attach Your Legs

Flip the tabletop upside down. If you aren’t sure which side is down the tabletop should be flipped upside-down. Place your legs straight against the right and left sides. Place them on the overhang.

They can be screwed to the tabletops’ side.

Step 7: Place The Piece Measuring 5 Cmx5cm X 145 Cm At The Bottom

Fill the holes in the nails and screws with wood filler to give your table a cleaner appearance.

Step 10: Sand The Table

Use your sanding blocks to smoothen the table’s surface and edges.

Step 11: Apply The Wood Stain

You can use a paintbrush or a rag for covering the entire table in wood stain. Let it dry for several hours.

Step 12: Cover The Table Using Poly

Apply the polyurethane once the stain has dried to protect the table against moisture. This coat should also dry.
