DIY Chevron Coffee Table

DIY Chevron Coffee Table I started off staining a few boards Jacobean and Weathered Oak, the rest I left unstained in natural pine. I used a mitre saw to cut my board ends at a 45 degree angle. I then mounted the cut boards onto a coffee table-sized piece of particle board using 1 1/4" wood screws from the bottom of the particle board up through. No worries, the wood screws aren't long enough to pop through the coffee tabletop. The hairpin legs are 16" heavy duty from Industrial by Design, the best quality I could find. I mounted them on the bottom of the particle board with the same 1 1/4" wood screws. I used cargo ratchet straps to hold on the edging pieces while the wood glue set and also used several screws to hold on the edging pieces. I used a 45 degree bevel cut on my mitre saw to create a nice corner of the edging pieces. After sanding with a fine 160 then 320 grit on the hand sander, I applied a final coat all over of Weathered Oak stain. More DIY projects to come. Comment, share, and subscribe!
