Day 30 - Build a 2x4 Craft Table
Good gravy, guys. Only two days left! You can see links to the complete series here, and get
details about my Lowe's gift card giveaway here. In this series, we're seeing what we can
make out of 2x4's. I want to keep it cheap, keep it easy, and keep it totally doable for anyone.
Today's project is super handy for all you crafty people - it's a Craft table!
This table has a great workspace to spread out for all your crafty endeavors. Whether it's
sewing, scrap booking, or painting, I'm sure you could use a little more room to spread out! I
sized it to fit a space in my home, and you can easily adjust the measurements to fit whatever
space you need. Not too crafty? This would also be a great dining table for small spaces, or
you could tuck a chair under it for a great desk! Let's build it!
Shopping List:
7 - 2x4s @ 10' long
1 - 2x4 @ 8' long
Tools:
Saw
Drill
2 1/2 screws (or Kreg Jig & 2 1/2" self tapping screws)

4" screws (or Kreg Jig & 2 1/2" self tapping screws)
Wood glue
Wood filler
2x4 Cut List:
(A) - 4 @ 28 1/2" (legs)
(B) - 2 @ 30" (front/back)
(C) - 3 @ 26 1/2" (sides/support)
(D) - 9 @ 39" (top)
Dimensions: 39" wide x 30" tall x 31 1/2" deep
Please read all the directions before beginning, and cut your pieces as you go, measuring
before each cut. Use 2 1/2 screws or pocket holes with 2 1/2" pocket screws unless otherwise
indicated. Always use glue. Pre-drill and countersink your screws. I have not built from
these exact plans, so measure lots to make sure things work out!
Step 1: Build the BaseStart by using one front/back board (B) to connect two legs (A) as shown below. The
front/back board should be flush with the top of the legs. Attach it using a Kreg Jig, or by
drilling through the legs into front/back boards with 4" screws. Use glue. Repeat to connect
the other set of legs.
Now use the side/support boards (C) to connect the two leg sections you just built. One side

board should be flush with each end of the leg sections, and the third board should be
centered in between with 16 1/4" of space on either side. All these boards should be flush with
the top of the leg sections. Attach them with a Kreg Jig and pocket hole screws, or by drilling
through the legs & front/back boards into each support board with 2 1/2" screws. Use glue.
Step 2: The TopNow you can install the top boards (check for square first by measuring corner-to-corner in
both directions. The measurements will be the same if the table is square). Lay the top
boards side-by-side, centered on top of the table base with a 1" overhang on all sides. Once
the boards are in place, drill down through each board into the supports and legs below with
2 1/2" screws and glue.
Step 3: FinishingStart by filling any holes and sanding everything smooth. Then finish it off with paint or stain
and polyurethane. Be creative and have fun! Want a few ideas? Well, I always love a rustic
stain finish.

You could do a two-tone look by staining the top and painting the legs a crisp white.
Or you could also paint the top in another fun color. Maybe a pale blue or green?
Add a fun punch of color by going bold with the whole table. Try a deep navy or sunny
yellow. Have fun with it!
