[1] Additional Photos [3] I've been wanting to share these plans with you for quite some time now! I loved the style of the Pottery Barn Benchwright End Tables [4] so much, I had been saving them to build for myself. But with a book to work on (just finished the final edits this last week!) and a two houses in one to build for our moms, when Ashley from Shanty2Chic requested the plans, I knew I had to let them go. That way we can all enjoy the plans sooner rather than later! Here's from Ashley: I love the tables! I was a little intimated to build my first round piece of furniture however, the string and nail technique made it very simple. I used my Dremel Trio to cut the circles and my compound miter for all of the cuts. This was probably one of the most challenging builds I have conquered and I'm so glad I didn't shy away from these plans because I learned a lot through this build process! I now have two great end tables to show off for only $25 each! Ashley has lots more photos and details here [5] that you will want to check out!

2 1x4 @ 21 3/8 2 1x4 @ 16 1/4" General Instructions: Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck! Step 1 [22] Build your bottom shelf as shown here. You can use the Kreg Jig or just a wood block underneath to attach. Page 7 of 15
Step 2 [23] Then add legs to bottom shelf as shown above. Step 3 Page 8 of 15
[24] Followed by the side aprons. Step 4 Page 9 of 15
[25] And then the top aprons. I recommend 3/4" PHs and 1 1/4" PH screws here. NOTE: To attach top with PHs later, drill 3/4" PHs facing upward on aprons. Step 5 Page 10 of 15
[26] Then build the top. You can also use a store-bought top, but I personally love the look of a planked, handcut round top. It's what makes this adorable table so rustic yet refined looking. Step 6 Page 11 of 15
[27] Attach top to base. You can use decorative nails or screw through aprons. Step 7 Page 12 of 15
More details from Ashley are located here. [5] Finishing InstructionsPreparation Instructions: Fill all holes with wood filler and let dry. Apply additional coats of wood filler as needed. When wood filler is completely dry, sand the project in the direction of the wood grain with 120 grit sandpaper. Vacuum sanded project to remove sanding residue. Remove all sanding residue on work surfaces as well. Wipe project clean with damp cloth. It is always recommended to apply a test coat on a hidden area or scrap piece to ensure color evenness and adhesion. Use primer or wood conditioner as needed.
