Dining Room
D
ining Table
We looked around for the perfect table for the dining room. Some were too big, some too
small, and most were just too expensive. So we built this one, and we are happy with the result. It
seats six comfortably, but doesn’t take up the entire room.
Materials
32 linear feet of 1 x 4 pine
18 linear feet of 1 x 6 pine
20 linear feet of 2 x 4 pine
Enough pre-made laminated
pine panels to form a tabletop
33 x 58 inches*
4 newel posts, at least 27-1/2
inches long
*Notes on Materials
The center of the dining tabletop is
constructed of pre-made sections of
laminated 3/4-inch-thick pine strips,
which we purchased at a building
supply store. You will need enough
laminated sections for a center top
measuring 33 x 58 inches. Of
course, you can laminate the boards
yourself, but I would not suggest it
unless you are an experienced
woodworker and possess
heavy-duty tools. If that is the case,
you don’t need any instructions from us on how to make it, but the trimmed size of the finished
laminate should be 33 x 58 inches.

If you live in an area with distinct seasons, the cross-grain expansion and contraction that
accompany alternating moist and dry conditions may cause trouble. Therefore, you should
consider using a nicely-veneered plywood for the center section of the table.
If you don’t want to (or can’t) turn table legs yourself, just purchase four newel posts
from a building supply store and cut them to length. When the posts are turned upside down, who
would know?

Constructing the Table Top
1.
The initial step is to join the pre-made laminated sections to form a center tabletop (A). It
is a good idea to glue the sections together first and then trim the resulting laminate to the
exact size. Wipe glue on the meeting edges of the laminates and clamp them together with
bar clamps for a few hours. Then trim the laminated center top (A) to 33 x 58 inches.
2.
The dining tabletop is composed of a top and a bottom layer. The top layer consists of
two long and two short frame pieces surrounding the center laminated pine. The bottom
layer will be attached to the dining table base later. To form the top layer, cut two long
top frames (B) from 1 x 4 pine, each measuring 65-inches long.
3.
Miter the ends of each of the long frames (B) at opposing 45-degree angles, as shown in
Figure 1.
Figure 1
4.
Cut two short frames (C) from 1 x 4 pine, each measuring 40 inches long.
5.
Miter the ends of each of the short frames (C) at opposing 45-degree angles, as shown in
Figure 1
.
6.
Place the center top (A) on a level surface. Position the short and long top frames (B and
C) along the outer edges of the center top (A), as shown in
Figure 2
. Apply glue to the
meeting edges and clamp the five pieces of wood together with bar clamps for a few
hours. The result is a tabletop that now measures 40 x 65 inches.
Adding the Legs
1.
Cut each of four newel posts to a length of 27-1/2 inches to form the legs (D)
2.
In order to support the side rails of the table, we must remove a corner section of wood
from the square top of each of the four table legs (D). Follow
Figure 3
to mark the area to
be removed. Use a depth stop or simply wrap a piece of tape around a 1/2-inch or 3/4-inch
drill bit approximately 1 3/4-inch from the end. Bore away as much waste as possible.
Then use a sharp chisel to cut an accurate, 1-3/4 x 1-3/4 x 3-1/2-inch space, as shown in
Figure 3
.

3.
Cut two long side rails (E) from 2 x 4 pine, each measuring 56-1/2 inches long.
4.
Cut two short side rails (F) from 2 x 4 pine, each measuring 31-1/2-inches long.
5.
Set each of the four side rails (E) and (F) on edge and miter both ends of each board at a
45-degree angle, as shown in
Figure 4.
Figure 2
6.
This next step probably requires the assistance of a willing helper and it should be
performed on a level surface. Each of the legs (D) must be connected to the side rails (E
and F) and the entire assembly must be perfectly level. It is easier to make certain that you
have every thing level if you perform the assembly with the legs upside down.
7.
Carefully fit the ends of one long rail (E)
and one short rail (F) inside the opening
that you previously cut in the leg (D),
matching miters (refer to
Figure 5.)
Glue
and screw them in place using two 2-
1/2-inch screws through each end of the
side rails (E and F).
8.
Repeat Step 7 to attach the remaining
three legs (D) to the remaining two side
rails (E and F). A word of caution: It is
easy to get involved in what you are
doing and forget that you are
constructing a rectangular base. The two
short side rails (F) must be opposite each
other on the base and the two long side
rails (E) must also be opposite each
other.

9.
Cut four corner supports (G) from 2 x 4 pine, each measuring 10 inches long.
10.
Miter both ends each of the four corner supports (G) at opposing 45-degree angles, as
shown in
Figure 1.
11.
Glue and screw the corner supports (G) in each of the four corners, as shown in
Figure 5
,
flush with the tops of the legs (D) and the long and short rails (E and F)
.
Use two 3-inch
screws in each corner support (G), driving them into the side rails (E and F).

Adding the Table Top Bottom Layer
1.
The bottom layer of the tabletop adds visual thickness and also supports the laminated
center top (A). In order to avoid screw holes in the tabletop, the bottom layer is connected
first to the table base assembly. The bottom layer consists of four additional lengths of
wood cut from 1 x 6 pine. Cut two short bottom frames (H) from 1 x 6 pine, each
measuring 40 inches long.
2.
Miter both ends of each of the two short bottom frames (H) at opposing 45-degree angles,
as shown in
Figure 1
.
3.
Cut two long bottom frames (I) from 1 x 6 pine, each measuring 65-inches long.
4.
Miter both ends of each of the two long bottom frames (I) at opposing 45-degree angles,
as shown in
Figure 1.
5.
Place the four bottom frames (H and I) on the base assembly and fit them together to form
a rectangle, measuring 65 x 40, as shown in
Figure 6
. This rectangle will extend past the
legs (D) by 2-1/2 inches on each side. When you are satisfied with the arrangement, glue
and screw the bottom frames (H and I) to the long and short side rails (E and F) and to the
corner supports (G), using 1-1/2 inch screws spaced about six inches apart. Use two
3-inch-long screws to screw through the bottom frame pieces (H and I) into each of the
table legs (D).
