I've done a couple steel projects in the past, like Faux-Brass Leg Media Console and my Hairpin Kitchen Table Check out the build video for all the details, or keep scrolling for the materials list, cut list, diagrams, and more information about the tools I used. I had access to a reclaimed Douglass Fir beam (which you could likely score from your local lumber yard) but if you want something super accessible and inexpensive, you could create a DIY beam from four 2 x 6 boards laminated (glued) together. The Milwaukee 100 ft Extra Bold Large Capacity Chalk Reel was definitely overkill for this project, but it will come in very handy as we begin to build our house later this year. The trick was, I swapped out the blade for a Diablo 7-1/4" Cermet Steel Demon Saw Blade Once the legs were notched, I drilled a couple holes in the top tabs and cleaned them up.
You can use a circular saw or even a track saw to break down the plywood sheets into individual components, but for a project with multiple repeated cuts like this one, I recommend using a table saw. Attach the 18" x 27-3/4" frame top and bottom panels to sides using glue and 1-/4" screws through 3/4" pocket holes. Measure the exact width of the opening and build four drawer boxes to fit. Install four assembled drawer boxes inside the box opening using 16" side-mount drawer slides.
I know you're thinking of sprinklers and dryer vents right now, but I've been stalking Pinterest and came across the most amazing stuff built from PVC and ABS pipe! I've been wanting to build a folding table for a little while I'm in the throws of my PVC obsession, I decided this would be the perfect opportunity to incorporate some off-the-shelf pipe into a build. To add strength to the pipe leg assemblies and keep them from folding, I need to attach diagonal support arms which I made from some 3/4" PVC pipe. The fastest way I've found to cut smaller diameter plastic pipe (1-5/8" outer diameter and smaller) is to use a Husky Ratcheting PVC Cutter .
