Landscaping is an ongoing process. You build something, you improve it. Moreover, furniture is constantly required and tables are most in demand in the country. And put in the garden, and near the house, and also in. How to make a table for a summer residence with your own hands we will tell in this article using the example of finished projects.
Homemade table from boards from pallets
Dismantled pallets served as the material for this table. Naturally, you can use new boards. Only one condition - they must be dry. You can buy dry ones (it costs more) or buy ordinary ones, put them somewhere in ventilated piles and soak for at least 4 months, or better, six months. In general, any furniture, including, is made from dry wood.
We assemble the table for the street - put it in the gazebo, therefore we will not glue the tabletop boards, but fasten them from below, with the help of planks. It's very simple country table and very cheap.
Having dismantled the pallets, we get boards with an individual color and pattern. Having conjured a little, shifting them several dozen times in different manners, we achieve the desired result. It turns out quite a nice table.
We take the side parts of the pallet. We use them for the frame of the table. We grind them first with coarse sandpaper, then finely bring them to the required smoothness (grain 120 and 220).
We take the strips that remained unused, with their help we fasten the countertop. We place them in the place where the joints of the boards are located. We use two self-tapping screws for fastening each board with a joint, one for a solid one.
From the processed sidewalls and two boards (also sanded), we assemble the table frame. We fix its parts with self-tapping screws at the end (two for each joint). The frame can be glued or also “planted” on self-tapping screws. Only their length is large. Under each, we pre-drill holes with a drill, the diameter of which is slightly smaller than the diameter of the self-tapping screws.
We turn the assembled countertop over and grind it. The order is the same - first with sandpaper with a large grain, then with a fine one.
Next up is installing the legs. We select four boards of the same size, check their length, adjust if necessary. Then again grinding. It's easier than sanding already screwed legs. We fasten the sanded boards to the frame. These will be the legs. For each - two self-tapping screws fixed in a diagonal (look at the photo). For greater stability, we install jumpers at the bottom. About 10 cm can be left from the floor to the jumpers. We connect everything with self-tapping screws so that the boards do not crack, we pre-drill holes.
After removing the dust, varnish again. In theory, the varnish should lie flat, but depends on the wood, so another sanding / painting cycle may be necessary. As a result, we get such a homemade country table.
If you do not like motley boards and traces of old nails, you can make their boards the same design. This table can be rectangular, maybe square. All dimensions are arbitrary - see the available space.
Country table from the remnants of the boards
This do-it-yourself dacha table is assembled from the remnants of boards different breeds and sizes. On the tabletop frame went pine boards 25 mm thick and 50 mm wide, rests 15 * 50 mm on the legs. We make the frame according to the dimensions you need. This table will stand on the veranda, and it has a small width. So let's make it not wide - 60 cm, and the length is 140 cm. The height of the legs is 80 cm (everyone in the family is tall).
We immediately cut off two long boards of 140 cm each. To make the width of the table top 60 cm, subtract twice the thickness of the board used - this is 5 cm. Short bars should be 60 cm - 5 cm = 55 cm. We fold the frame, following right angles, twist with screws. We check whether the bars are folded correctly - we measure the diagonals, they should be the same.
We cut off the boards four boards of 80 cm each, fasten them from the inside to the assembled frame. You can use 4 screws for each leg.
Approximately at the middle of the height of the legs we fasten the crossbars. This is a shelf frame. The shelf can be used for its intended purpose, and it also increases the rigidity of the structure. We fasten strictly at right angles, checking with a large square.
We put the frame on the floor, check whether it staggers or not. If everything is done correctly, it should stand rigidly. Next, take sandpaper or a grinder and grind.
Let's start assembling the countertop. From finishing works there were boards of different types of wood, some painted with wood stain. We alternate boards of different colors.
We fasten the tabletop boards with finishing nails, carefully finishing them with a finisher. On the shelf can be fixed with ordinary nails or self-tapping screws. Then smooth with a grinder. Final stage— painting. Very unlucky with the choice of varnish. Bought too dark appearance didn't like it. Will have to sand again and paint a different color.
Wooden table with glued top
This design features L-shaped legs. They are assembled from boards of the same thickness. In this case, 20 mm. To keep them well, 5 self-tapping screws are needed. Pre-drill holes with a drill with a diameter of 1-2 mm less than the diameter of the self-tapping screws. Then with a drill larger diameter drill holes for the caps. Diameter can be matched to furniture plugs suitable color or make them from a wooden rod. Another option is to use wood putty, to which you add wood dust that remains after sanding. After drying and sanding, traces will be difficult to find.
When assembling the legs, make sure that the angle is exactly 90°. As a pattern, you can choose a bar. First, we coat the joint of the two parts of the leg with carpentry glue, then install the screws in the following sequence: first the two extreme ones, then the middle one, and only then the other two. After the glue dries, sand the legs, varnish and dry.
It's time to make the tabletop. It is assembled from boards of the same thickness. Pick up the size you need. You can use fragments of different widths. It is only important that everything looks organic, and the sidewalls of the boards are even and docked without gaps.
We coat the sides of the boards selected for the countertop with glue, lay them on flat surface(some kind of table) and tighten with clamps. In this case, they managed one, but preferably at least three. We tighten so that there are no gaps in the resulting shield. We leave for a day. Having removed the clamps, we get an almost finished countertop. It still needs to be trimmed - to align the edges, and then sand it. You can trim with a jigsaw or a regular hand saw. Using a grinder is difficult to get a straight line, but you can try. After grinding, we get a beautiful countertop.
Using the same technique, you can make an oval or round table top. It will only be necessary to draw the appropriate line and cut the glued boards along it.
To make the table look more attractive, we will make a frame. We take a thin bar, process it with sandpaper and fasten it around the perimeter of the countertop. Finishing nails can also be used. Only the planks are also pre-lubricated with carpentry glue, and then with nails.
After the glue dries, we again process the junction with sandpaper.
Now you can attach the table legs. We assemble a table frame from four boards (there is no photo, but you can do it as in the previous paragraph). We fasten it to the back of the countertop with glue, then install it through the countertop furniture confirmations. Under the confirmations, a preliminary hole is drilled with an extension for the cap. Holes for fasteners are masked in the same way as on the legs.
We attach the legs to the fixed frame. We put them inside the frame. You can attach with ordinary screws. That's it, we made a table for giving with our own hands.
How to make a wooden garden table with benches
For this table, boards 38 * 89 mm were used (they dissolved themselves), but you can take standard sizes. The difference in millimeters will not really affect the results. In the photo below you can see what should happen.
To connect the parts, studs 16 cm long with washers and nuts (24 pieces) were used. All other connections are made with nails 80 mm long.
Parts are installed in place, drilled with a drill through hole. A stud is installed in it, washers are put on both sides and nuts are tightened. Everything is pulling up wrench. How convenient is this option? For the winter, you can disassemble and take it to a barn or garage.
Making seats
According to the drawing, we cut the boards of the required size. Everything is necessary in double quantity - for two seats. grinding boards, Special attention pay attention to the ends.
We cut the short segments with which we fasten the three seat boards along the edges at an angle of 45 °. First, we assemble a structure that is attached to the seat from below. We take a board about 160 cm long, at the end we attach two short boards cut at an angle to it. Attach it so that this board is in the middle.
Then we attach the legs to the resulting structure (you can use nails). Then we add more boards cut at an angle and tighten everything with studs and bolts.
We attach the seat boards to the resulting structure. Since this is a table for the street, it is not necessary to knock them down close. Leave a gap between two adjacent at least 5 mm. We nail to the supports (which are cut down), two for each board.
We fix the finished seats with four boards 160 cm long. We fasten each leg with studs (if you walk, you can put two studs by setting them diagonally or one above the other).
Putting together a table
The table is assembled in a different way. Please note that for the countertop, the transverse boards are sawn along the edges at 52 °. We fasten them at such a distance that the legs enter. Each board has 2 nails. You can finish, with small hats, or you can hammer deep, and then mask the holes with putty.
Now we need to assemble the legs-crosses. We take two boards, cross them so that the distance between their ends is 64.5 cm. We circle the intersection with a pencil. At this point, it will be necessary to remove the wood by half the thickness of the board.
We make the same notch on the second board. If you add them together, they are in the same plane. We connect with four nails.
Similarly, we make the second leg for the table. While the table is not collected.
Installing the table
Now you need to fix the legs to the structure on which the benches are installed. We put them at an equal distance from the benches, fasten them with hairpins.
Now install the table top. We also fasten it with studs. The last step is painting. Here everyone does as he likes.
Variations on a theme
According to this drawing, you can make benches and a table separately for giving, garden. The design is reliable and easy to implement.
Do-it-yourself table for giving: drawings
You can make a wooden table with your own hands.
The work is simple and easy to perform, while saving money.
At the same time, you can make a table yourself, the dimensions and style of which will suit the interior and dimensions of the room to the greatest extent.
To make a table, you will need the following tools:
- roulette;
- sandpaper fine, medium and coarse grit;
- Sander;
- circular saw or hacksaw for wood;
- goats for sawing lumber;
- brush, roller or spray gun;
- vacuum cleaner;
- protective clothing, goggles and gloves.
You should also prepare materials. Their choice depends on the idea. But in general, these are lumber, plywood, chipboard, MDF, paint material(stain, varnish, paint, etc.), fasteners (self-tapping screws, staples, etc.). In some cases, upholstery will also be needed. When choosing finishing material it is recommended to take into account general style rooms.
When making a table and working with tools, safety precautions must be observed. It is recommended to wear closed clothing, gloves and goggles. They will protect against damage, sawdust getting into the eyes.
There are many options for a table that you can make with your own hands, you should choose the most suitable one. Below are a few of them.

Height adjustable table
How to make a table with adjustable legs? Materials to be prepared: plywood or MDF, four adjustable wooden poles, paint and screws. Supports can be bought in specialized stores (such as the well-known Ikea). It is recommended to make a table measuring 120x50 cm. If plywood or MDF bigger size, you will need a saw to cut the material. To do this, the required dimensions are marked on the sheet, after which the extra pieces are cut off. Depending on the purpose and features of use, a hole can be cut in the table top for cable routing.
After sawing, the surface of the countertop must be sanded. It depends on the initial state of the material. In some cases, the surface has already been sanded. After grinding, the surface should be wiped to remove any remaining dust and chips.
Depending on the surface treatment, sandpaper of different grits is used. To remove the top layer - P40 paper, to remove irregularities - P80, for final grinding - P360.
The next stage is the processing of the lacquer coating of the countertops and supports. Depending on the idea and the overall interior, you can use paint, stain, varnish, etc. for this. The composition can be applied with a brush, roller or spray gun.
After the paint has dried, all the elements should be brought into the room. It is better to bring everything unassembled so that it is easier to pass through doorways. Next, the supports are screwed to the countertop with screws. It is better to install supports at a distance of 10 cm from each edge of the countertop. Each support is screwed on with three screws. Fastener heads are recommended to cover or close with plugs.
Now the table, made by hand, is completely ready for use. And adjustable legs allow you to set the tabletop to any convenient height.

Bedside table
It is made in the same way as an adjustable table, the difference is only in size and color. In addition, the supports in this case are used conventional.
But you can dream up and make a bedside table combined with a bedside table. In this case, you need to focus on the cabinet.
The tabletop must be the same size as bedside table(at least in depth). To do this, a table top is cut out of plywood or MDF according to the marks made, polished.
It is better to use as supports wooden legs so that you can file them to get the same height with the cabinet. After preparation, all elements are painted.
Supports are installed on one side of the tabletop. They are fixed with self-tapping screws.
The final stage is the sealing of fasteners, decoration.
When making a bedside table, it can be painted to match the nightstand or, conversely, in contrast. This will give the bedroom a special zest.
In addition to these two options, there are many other ways to make a table. It can be kitchen, coffee and other types of tables. Boards can be used instead of plywood or MDF sheets.
You can give the table a special zest. You can not paint its surface, but upholster it. For this, a suitable fabric is selected (for example, denim, linen, etc.), the necessary piece is cut out. After that, the tabletop is turned upside down and placed on the material. The edges of the fabric are fixed with a stapler. To improve the quality of the finish around the perimeter of the countertop, the material is additionally fixed with decorative carnations. When upholstered, it is necessary to ensure that the fabric lies flat, without folds and distortions.
Thus, making a table yourself is quite easy and simple. At the same time, you can get an attractive and unique item interior.
Reading time ≈ 4 minutes
A circular saw is used to cut wood and plastic. Its cutting base is a flat metal disk with a serrated outer edge. Choosing such a tool, everyone decides for himself what kind he needs: desktop, manual, stationary. Many prefer manual version. However, in some situations it is necessary to fix the saw. In this case, you can make a table for circular saw with their own hands, having the opportunity, if necessary, to fix the tool.
Preparation of tools and materials
Having decided to make a table for a manual circular saw on your own, you need to take care of the availability of all the materials necessary for work:
- laminated plywood (9 or 11 mm), size 800 mm by 800 mm;
- Chipboard 16 mm or other sheet material suitable for the manufacture of the body, sheet size 400 by 784 mm - 4 pieces;
- bars 40 by 40 mm (length depends on installation method);
- self-tapping screws;
- bolts.
For such a table, any hand-held circular saw will do. At the same time, it must be remembered that when attached to the table, the depth of cut decreases by 10-20 mm. So saws with small discs are not suitable for such a table.
Step-by-step instructions for assembling a table for a circular saw
1. Manufacturing of the case. sheet material for the body cut to size: 400 mm by 800 mm. Parts are fastened with screws and bars. It is better to assemble by pre-drilling the outer parts of the box. The result is a rectangular box without a bottom and a lid. The upper part of the bars is subsequently used to secure the plywood sheet.
2. Preparing and fixing the plywood top. Hole cut. First, a piece of 800 mm by 80 mm is cut out of a sheet of plywood. Next, measure the support shoe of the saw that will be mounted on the table top. On reverse side plywood markup. You will need 2 center axles. Without them, you cannot perform accurate markup. Then marks are applied to the plywood corresponding to the dimensions of the support shoe. Then they make such measurements that the circular has: the diameter of the lower protective cover, its thickness, the maximum distance from the edges of the support shoe. In accordance with the dimensions obtained, marks are placed and a rectangular hole is cut out with a jigsaw.
3. Fastening the saw to the plywood tabletop. First, 4 holes are made in the shoe. Diameter - 10 mm. Next, install the tool so that the working part goes into the sawn hole. When the saw is leveled, mark the location of the holes. Marks are made in the central part. In order for the tool to stand securely, ploughshare bolts with a countersunk conical head (M8) will be needed for fastening. To install them, you will have to take care of the high-quality deepening of the cap, it can protrude by a maximum of 1 mm in an open form.
Plywood is drilled from the outside, the diameter of the holes obtained should be 8 mm, and then a countersink should be made under the cap. When the holes are ready, the saw itself is installed on the saw table for the circular saw, the bolts are tightened from the inside using nuts with plastic growers or spring washers.
4. Fastening the tabletop to the body. Start button. First, holes are made at a distance of 30 mm in the corners of the plywood tabletop. Then a hole is drilled in the central part of the bars. The parts are connected using a 18 mm M8 steel fitting. On the side part, a regular "Start - start" button is installed. An electrical network is laid inside the case, and the button on the tool itself is clamped.
5. Making a thrust beam. A simple table for a circular saw will become much more convenient if you equip it with a thrust beam. The drawings contain all the required dimensions. The beam can be made of plywood, and fixed with furniture rails full extension. The resulting beam should slide over the surface at an angle of 90° to the cutting plane with little clearance.
6. An emphasis for longitudinal cuts. It is made from an aluminum cornice. At 150 mm from the edges, holes for the bolts are first drilled, and then 2 lines are drawn from the place where the bolts are attached to the center line. At the intersection and further towards the bolts at a distance of 30 mm, holes of 12 mm are made. Bolts from below are tightened with nuts. And along the drawn lines, cuts are made to the tonic, their width can be seen in the photo.
For greater convenience, a hand-held circular saw can be mounted on a table. This design will help you quickly and easily process and saw wood parts.
Working with a circular saw mounted on a special table greatly simplifies the sawing process and is safe when using special devices.
In this article we will tell you for a hand-held circular saw with your own hands.
Circular saw table design
The table base for a circular saw can be wood or metal.
The tabletop is made of metal or sheet wood materials. A hole is made in it for a circular saw blade.
Supports run along the guides in the tabletop, which move the timber and any other sawing material.
First of all, the table should be comfortable, stable (do not stagger!), The surface of the tabletop should be flat. These factors will help a person avoid injury during work.
The hole in the base is cut for a specific brand of saw
Before starting material cutting and assembly circular table, it is necessary to calculate its dimensions and make a drawing.
The hole in the base must match the dimensions of the circular saw platform. For each brand of saw, this will be a specific size.
The plate installed on the countertop should not outweigh the table in one direction - the base must be resistant to external mechanical loads.
The dimensions of the countertop must match the flow.
For some, a folding table is enough, small table with detachable circular saw. People who have a spacious workshop need a full-fledged table for a circular saw or even a circular machine.
Note: if it is planned to leave materials on the table during work, then the area of \u200b\u200bthe tabletop should be at least square meter. Optimal size for such a table 120 x 120 cm.
Materials from which you can make a table for cutting wood:
- solid wood;
- Chipboard, chipboard, MDF, plywood;
- metal (steel or aluminum).
Plastic is not well suited as a material for making a saw table.
Before final assembly all wooden parts of the table should be protected from moisture and decay.
To make a saw table with our own hands, we need the following materials:
- Chipboard or plywood 21 mm thick;
- beam for the table frame (you can use edged board 50 x 150 mm, 3 meters long - 5 pieces);
- wooden dowels 10 mm - 12 pcs.;
- joiner's glue;
- metal fasteners for the sides and legs - 4 pcs.;
- metal corners - 10 pcs.;
- self-tapping screws.
Necessary tools for work:
- pencil, marker, tape measure, meter;
- jigsaw;
- manual ;
- Sander;
- sandpaper of medium and fine grit;
- plane;
- drill;
- screwdriver
Step 1. To begin with, we trim all sides of the beam with a planer. We assemble the frame of the table from the timber: on each side of the tabletop we drill two holes of 5 mm for dowels for each side and one hole for each table leg.
Step 2 In the sides you need to make two holes (5 mm), and in the legs - one each (5 mm).
Step 3 We install the dowels in the countertop, after lubricating them with wood glue. From above, the tsargs and legs are installed.
If there are clamps with ties, you can fix the table with them. After the glue has completely dried, the drawers are fastened to the legs and to each other with special metal fasteners for tables and are pulled together with self-tapping screws.
Note: the table will be stronger and more stable if you use metal corners for additional fastening of the tabletop: two on the short side and three on the long side.
Step 4 Now you need to fix the circular saw on inside countertops. There can be two options here: fasten the saw platform with M4 bolts or fasten the platform using bars with self-tapping screws. The first option is faster and more reliable. The second option does not require drilling holes in the metal platform for bolts.
Step 5 You can fix the saw with bolts or bars with self-tapping screws. We will fasten with bars, so in small bars we make a drink as wide as the saw platform. With bars with self-tapping screws on both sides, we fasten the circular saw to the table top.
Step 6 When the saw is installed, we take another larger bar and fasten it to the tabletop with self-tapping screws (directly to the points noted earlier, along which the saw platform was set evenly). This bar is necessary so that in the future, when removing the saw from the table, you can quickly return it to its place without resorting to marking.
Step 7 We install the circular saw blade in place and saw through the countertop to get longitudinal hole. Flip the tabletop.
Step 8 We make a parallel stop. To do this, we saw off two strips from plywood with a length equal to the width of the table and a width of about 8–10 cm. We round the corners with a protractor and a pencil.
Step 9 We grind both strips and fasten them with self-tapping screws at an angle. Inside we fasten the metal corner.
Step 10 With constant work with a table for a circular saw and the need to fix the stop on the tabletop, a guide is fixed perpendicular to the disk. The roller or the second part of the guide is attached to the bottom of the fence so that the fence can drive up / drive away from the circular saw blade.
Workplace safety
In order not to be injured during work, it is necessary to carefully monitor the position of the saw table, its stability, strength.
Before each switching on of the circular saw, it is necessary to check whether it is well fixed in its place.
It is strictly forbidden to hold the cut material with your hands! This can lead to injury to the fingers or the tree bouncing in the face if knots and bumps get into it.
Also, be sure to wear protective goggles during operation to avoid injury to the eyes.
Don't neglect these simple rules take care of your own health.
For more information on how to make a table for a hand-held circular saw with your own hands, see the following video:
Instead of buying a ready-made table, you can make it yourself and save more than one thousand rubles. If you need a spacious table of non-standard design, then you can make it yourself so that it will not differ from those made by professional carpenters. Measure the space, choose the look of the table, and make a table that fits in with the surroundings. If you have experience with carpentry tools and have already done something for the house, then this work will not seem difficult to you.
Steps
Adjustable table
- At your discretion, holes for cables and wires can be cut into the table top.
-
Sand the tabletop. If you didn't buy a pre-sanded sheet, then you'll need to sand it yourself. To save time, can borrow from someone grinder. Wipe down the table after sanding.
Paint the table top. If you want, you can paint the table and supports with paint. You can paint both in the usual way and by spraying (which will be faster). Please note that only unpainted and unstained wood can be stained.
- The table top and legs can be painted in any color, but you should still choose a color that will blend in with the surroundings.
-
Bring the table pieces into the room. Bring the disassembled table into the room in which it will stand. This will save you the hassle of dragging the table through the doorway. Place the tabletop on the supports, which should be about 10 centimeters from each edge of the tabletop. It is possible to level the table with a level, but in most situations such accuracy is useless.
Screw the tabletop to the supports. Using screws that are long enough, fasten the countertop to the legs, three screws (evenly spaced apart) per leg. If necessary, the table can be strengthened with metal corners.
Final touches. Lubricate the screw heads or cover them with plugs. Add details of your choice. Your new table ready!
- Thanks to adjustable legs, the height of the table can be changed.
Bedside table
-
Purchase the necessary materials. You will need: a side table or bedside table of the same height as the future table; MDF or plywood, the thickness of which is equal to or several centimeters greater than the thickness of the surface of the bedside table; legs (2 pieces if it is the same height as the nightstand, or 4 pieces if the table is of a different height). You will also need wood glue, self-tapping screws, and corner brackets.
- The height of the legs and bedside tables should be the same. It is better to buy wooden legs so that in which case they can be filed.
-
Cut your table top to size. Using a jigsaw or circular saw, cut the tabletop to the desired size. After that, sand it down.
Paint the table top. Paint the countertop in the color you like. Spray painting may be the fastest option.
You will need a piece of MDF or plywood measuring 120x50 centimeters, two adjustable wooden supports (easy to find in Ikea and similar stores), screws and paint. If the sheets are not sawn before the right sizes then you will need a circular saw.
Cut sheets with circular saw. Take the necessary measurements and cut wooden sheets to the required sizes. Do not forget the proverb "Measure seven times, cut one."
