TOOLS

Instructions
STEP 1
(/sites/default/files/2019-11/farmhouse%20coee%20table%20plans%20step%201.jpg)
Attach legs to two of the 2x6 @ 18" with two screws per joint.
Use glue at all joints.
Build two.

STEP 2
(/sites/default/files/2019-11/farmhouse%20coee%20table%20plans%20step%202.jpg)
Set the two leg sets on a level surface.
Attach two leg sets together with 2x2s, two screws per joint and ample wood glue.
If your 2x2 is splitting, predrill holes first, then attach with screws.
TIP: Screws attached at a slight angle will help strengthen this joint.

STEP 3
(/sites/default/files/2019-11/farmhouse%20coee%20table%20plans%20step%203.jpg)
Place first long X piece in the coee table end and attach with glue and screw from top and
bottom.
Set second X piece along side first, and mark where the two pieces cross.
Cut the second piece along the marked lines.
Place two cut pieces inside the coee table and attach from top and bottom and middle.
The second piece should be attached as shown from top.
This is all shown in the video tutorial.

STEP 4
(/sites/default/files/2019-11/farmhouse%20coee%20table%20plans%20step%204.jpg)
Attach one of the 2x6 @ 18" in about the center of the coee table with two screws per joint and
glue.

STEP 5
(/sites/default/files/2019-11/farmhouse%20coee%20table%20plans%20step%205.jpg)
Lay out the 2x6 tabletop boards on a flat, level surface, with best side of tabletop boards face
down.
Apply glue to top edges of coee table frame, and place coee table frame upside down on the
tabletop boards.
Screw the base to the underside of the tabletop boards. Use ample screws but reserve enough to
complete the next step.

STEP 6
(/sites/default/files/2019-11/farmhouse%20coee%20table%20plans%20step%206.jpg)
Position the middle shelf slat centered on the coee table bottom shelf.
Attach with 2 screws per joint.
Place remaining slats inside the frame and attach with 2 screws per joint. The gap is about 1" in
between (slightly less).
TIP: If heavy loads are expected on the bottom shelf of the coee table, place a 1x2 scrap about
20" long, underneath the shelf, centered and running lengthwise to the coee table. This will act
as a center "leg" for the shelf and considerably increase the strength of the bottom shelf.
