Build an Easy DIY Farm Table
Some friends of ours have been wanting a DIY farmhouse table for some time now. After hearing about their shopping trip and the prices they were looking at spending on one I felt obligated to step in and make this one of my next DIY projects. My buddy Jake has no experience with power tools whatsoever, bless his heart. So, you’re in for a special treat with this one as you will get to see Jake build this table from scratch with no power tool experience! With a little guidance from me of course.

Step 1
Start out by cutting all the boards according to the cut list (found on rogueengineer.com).
Step 2
The assemble the base using 2-1/2" pocket hole screws.
Step 3
Now stain the base and apply vaseline where you wish to distress the base.
Step 4
Paint the base with a flat white paint and distress as it would naturally have been. The vaseline will help the paint release easily without having to sand through the stain as well.
Step 5
Now join the tabletop together using 2-1/2" pocket screws.
Step 6
Stain the top and attach it to the base using 2-1/2" pocket screws.
