EASY HAIRPIN LEG COFFEE TABLE DIY

SUPPLIES

Scrap plywood Scrap 2X4s Miter saw Wood glue Bar clamps Wood screws Hairpin legs

MAKE THE CUTS

Cut the plywood and scrap 2X4s. I liked the diagonal pattern, so I cut the 2X4s at a 45 degree angle.

Use a strong wood glue and a set of bar clamps to attach the 2×4 pieces to the plywood.

ASSEMBLE

Attach the hairpin legs and add wood screws to secure the 2X4s to the plywood.

ADD HAIRPIN LEGS

Fill in knots in the wood and larger gaps with wood filler.

ADD WOOD FILLER

Sand the table top using first 80 grit, then 180, then 240. You can also use a router to round the edges like I did

SAND

Apply stain in the color of your choice. Be sure to sand in between coats using a sanding block.

ADD STAIN
