How to build a modern console table.

Modern Console Table // Sofa Table … In this video, I show you how I built modern console table out of white oak plywood and some quarter sawn white oak. This piece is my version/interpretation of the Cloud Modular Wide Console by Restoration Hardware. I jazzed it up with some board and batten joinery on the back and recessed adjustable feet. This is actually a very low console table and sits only 23” high, so it doesn’t work well with traditional height sofas. However, it is 8-feet long and the height could easily be adjusted to fit your needs. I may have to build one of these for myself! #consoletable #sofatable #kjsawdust #modern

As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement czcams.com/users/postUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!

[@chrishibberd]

Another fantastic build! I'm always in awe of the accuracy you achieve. Did those mitres really come straight off the mitre saw?

[@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking]

Thanks Chris!! Yes, those miters did come together nicely on this one. I'll be honest...they don't always work that way. If my plywood wasn't perfectly square, that would have caused that miter to need some adjustment. 👍

[@TomHoppe]

Was the reason for plywood with the edge banding vs hardwood panels for cost, wood stability, a little bit of both? Looks awesome, and love the design/execution, was just curious on that.

[@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking]

Yes and yes! LOL. Cost, wood stability and also weight. It would have been incredibly heavy if made of 1-1/2" thick solid white oak. There also would have been more labor involved gluing up and surfacing a bunch of panels, which makes it more costly. Sometimes I have to change my mindset from a furniture maker to a cabinet maker to produce an even better product and more cost effective product. I know some people stick their nose up at plywood, but high quality plywood is great to work with. And what people forget, is it's real WOOD! It's not particle board. Thanks for watching and the comment! 🙏👊

[@avyouandme]

Did I miss an inside joke or was there a specific reason for the walnut shavings underneath your moniker?

[@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking]

No joke - rather than cut shims to account for drilling the hole too deep, it was just easier to compact some shavings with some glue to make the medallion nice and flush with the surface.
