X End Table Plans – PDF Download

 

This step by step woodworking project is about X end table plans. I have designed this beautiful and easy to make side table with a farmhouse style, so you can add character to your living room. This project requires basic tools and materials and you can build it one weekend, at most. See my other DIY projects HERE ^[1]. PDF downloadable plans with premium features in the Store ^[2].

This X end table is a fantastic project that combines both functionality and rustic charm, perfect for adding a touch of farmhouse style to your living room. The cross-brace design not only adds visual interest but also ensures the table is sturdy and durable. Whether you’re using it to hold your favorite books, a cozy lamp, or a cup of coffee, this end table will be a beautiful and practical addition to your home decor.

We recommend you to invest in the best materials you could afford. Therefore, you should buy weather-resistant lumber, such as pine or cedar. Always take accurate measurements before adjusting the size of the components at the proper size. Drill pilot holes trough the components before inserting the wood screws, to prevent the wood from splitting. This a guest post from MyOutdoorPlans.com ^[3]. Thank you for their contribution.

How to build a farmhouse end table

The first step of the project is to build the side frames for the table. Therefore, cut all components from 2×4 lumber. Drill pocket holes at both ends of the horizontal components. Align the edges flush and make sure the corners are square. Insert 2 1/2″ screws to assemble the frames.

Next, we need to cut the trims for the X shapes. Use a miter saw to make the double 45 degree cuts to the 2x2s, as shown in the diagram. Drill pocket holes at the straight end of the trims.

Fit the trims to the side frames, as shown in the diagram. Align the edges flush, drill pilot holes and insert 2 1/2″ screws to secure them to the frames. Alternatively, you can use a nail gun to get the job done quickly.

Center the rest of the trims into place and secure them with 2 1/2″ screws to the mail trim. Also secure them to the main frames with 2 1/2″ screws / nails.

 

Assembling the small table

Continue the project by attaching the boards to the bottom of the end table. Drill pocket holes at both ends of the boards and insert 2 1/2″ screws to lock them to the side frames. Add glue to the joints and leave no gaps between the components.

Next, we need to assemble the tabletop for the end table. Drill pockets holes as described in the diagram. . Add glue to the joints and insert 2 1/2″ screws to lock the panel together. Align the edges and leave no gaps between the components.

Center the frame of the table to the tabletop, making sure the pocket holes will not be visible once the table is assembled. Drill pilot holes through the side frames and insert 2 1/2″ screws into the tabletop.

Fill the holes with wood putty and then let it dry for a few hours. Meanwhile you can round-over the edges with a router. Smooth the surface with 120-220 grit sandpaper and apply a few coats of paint / stain to enhance the look of the project.
