FOR THIS TABLE YOU WILL NEED:

MATERIALS LIST:
2 - 2x4x8 (legs)
12 - 1x4x8
1 1/4” brad nails
2” nails (to nail into 2x4)
Sander (120 grit sandpaper)
Wood glue
Pain/stain and paint supplies

MEASUREMENT CUTS:
2 - 2x4 @ 32” (cutting each 2x4 evenly into thirds making 6 legs)
8 - 1x4s @ 8ft (tabletop and long aprons)
1 - 1x4 @ 10.5” (making eight short aprons and one support)
1 - 1x4 @10.5”, then 7 more cuts @12” (making one more short apron and seven 12” bottom shelf slats)
1 - 1x4 @12” (making eight 12” bottom shelf slats)
1 - 1x4 @ 12” (making seven more12” bottom shelf slats = 22 total)

INSTRUCTIONS:

STEP 1: Legs
First I attached a 10.5” short apron flush to the edge of two legs (skinny part of the 2x4) - Then I attached another short apron 4” from the other end. I used wood glue and 2” nails to attach each short apron to 2x4. Repeated for all three sets of legs.
Note: the middle leg set will have short aprons one both sides.

STEP 2: Long Aprons
Assembling upside down, I attached 2 long aprons flush to the leg’s short apron using wood glue and 2” nails (creating an upside down tabletop frame). Then I attached the other two long aprons flush to the short aprons 4” from the opposite end using wood glue and 2” nails (creating an upside down bottom shelf frame)

STEP 3: Supports
One at a time, I attached two top supports to the top apron with wood glue and 1 1/4” nails, nailing through the apron into the supports.

STEP 4: Tabletop
Assembled tabletop boards evenly - Attaching with wood glue and 1 1/4” nails.

STEP 5: Bottom Shelf Slats
Assembling bottom shelf slats evenly - Attaching with wood glue and 1 1/4” nails. 11 slats per side, 22 total.

STEP 6: Finishing
Stain/paint/seal - I finished my with Minwax Dark Walnut stain and Rustoleum White Linen chalk paint. Then a light sand for the distressed look.
