Entry Table #2 {Black Distressed} & Tutorial

I already showed you my entry table. Here is the other one I made.

Here is how you can make you own table. You can use your own measurments to make it fit your area.

Items you will need.
wood glue
nail gun
sander
knobs/hardware ( for your awesome fake drawers)
Top: 1"Thickness)x48"(legnth)x16"(deep)-  I actually got a 8 foot board and cut it in half (for 2 table tops)
Legs: 2x2 nothing special just make sure they are straight ( I dug thru a ton of piles to get straight boards)
Front/back: 1x6  (cut to 42.5 long)
Sides: 1x6 (10 inches long)
Drawers: 1x4 (each drawer is 1 foot long)

Here is all the wood, cut and ready to go.

I started with the legs. I took one leg and used it to measure all around the underneath of the Top so there was a lip around the table top. The legs start in about 1.5 inches in from the sides. I glued the legs and sides on let them dry for about a half hour. (below)

I flipped the table over when dry and nailed them to the top. (below)

I glued and nailed the drawers in place about 1.5 inches on both sides and about 2 inches in between each drawer, let dry about 10 minutes. Nailed and glued to the rest of the table and let dry for about an hour(below)

That's it! It's all put together. I filled in any holes or cracks with painter putty. Now it is ready for paint.

I stained the top. I actually stained the whole table (I wanted the dark wood to show when I distressed it) not really needed. Then painted/dristressed the base. Drilled thru the drawers added handles/knobs and then your finnished with your table. Its really not too complicated you can make one I swear!

And for under $50 You just can't beat it!
