ccasional Table
Everyone needs an extra table somewhere in the house, and this table is an extremely
versatile one. It is small enough that it can be placed anywhere, but large enough to
accommodate a lamp, books, and a plant. You can coordinate the tile and stain colors to match
any fabric in your decorating scheme.

Materials
45 linear feet of 1 x 4 pine
One piece of 1/2-inch plywood, 24 inches square
4 ceramic tile*, nominal 12” square
Tile mastic
Tile grout
Grout sealer
*Notes on Materials
The dimensions of the top of this table depend on the size of the ceramic tile you use. If you
choose a different size tile, you will have to change the lengths of several pieces. Lay out your
tiles in a square pattern and measure the size of the center top (G), allowing grout space between
and outside the tiles. Besides the center top (G), you will have to adjust the lengths of pieces A,
B, E, and F.

Building the Base
1.
Cut two long bases (A) from 1 x 4 pine, each measuring 24 inches long.
2.
Cut two short bases (B) from 1 x 4 pine, each measuring 22-1/2 inches long.
3.
Place the two short bases (B) on a level surface, parallel to each other and 22-1/2 inches
apart. Fit the two long bases (A) over the ends of the two short bases (B), as shown in
Figure 1
. Screw through the long bases (A) into the ends of the short bases (B) using two
1-1/2-inch screws on each joint.
Figure 1
4.
Cut four wide legs (C) from 1 x 4 pine, each measuring 24 inches long.
5.
Rip a total of 9 feet of 1 x 4 pine to a width of 2-3/4 inches.

6.
Cut four narrow legs (D) from the 2-3/4-inch-wide material, each measuring 24 inches
long.
7.
Attach one narrow leg (D) to one wide leg (C) as shown in
Figure 2
.Screw through the
wide leg (C) into the edge of the narrow leg (D) using five evenly spaced 1-1/2-inch-long
screws. If you have large enough clamps, apply glue to the edge of the narrow leg (D)
clamp the wide leg (C) in place, and let dry for an hour. In this case you may omit the
screws. The finished leg assembly should measure 3-1/2 inches across each of the outside
widths.
Figure 2
8.
Repeat Step 7 three more times using the remaining three narrow legs (D) and three wide
legs (C).

9.
Place the base assembly (A and B) on a level surface. Attach the four leg assemblies to
each of the four corners of the base assembly, as shown in
Figure 3
. Apply glue on the
meeting surfaces, and screw through both sides of each leg assembly using two 1-1/4”
screws on each side of each leg. Use a try square to make sure that each leg is square to
the adjoining base piece.
Making the Top
1.
Cut four lower trims (E) from 1 x 4 pine, each measuring 27-1/2 inches long.
2.
Miter the ends of each of the four lower trims (E) at opposing 45-degree angles, as shown
in
Figure 4.
Figure 4
3.
Attach each of the lower trims (E) to the base assembly, as shown in
Figure 5
. Apply
glue to the top edge of the long and short bases (A and B)], screw through the lower trims
(E) into the wide and narrow legs (C and D) and the long and short bases (A and B). Use
1-1/2-inch screws spaced about 6 inches apart. The lower trims should overhang the legs
by 1 inch. Use 1 1/4-inch (3d) finishing nails to keep the outside corners of the miter
joints aligned. Nail across the joint from each side, starting about ¾” from the end. Offset
the nails slightly to avoid hitting the first nail with the second one.
4.
Cut four upper trims (F) from 1 x 4 pine, each measuring 31 inches long.
5.
Miter the ends of each of the four upper trims (F) at opposing 45-degree angles, as shown
in
Figure 4.
6.
Lay the four upper trims (F) on top of the lower trims (E) to check the miter joints. The
upper trims (F) should extend outside the lower trims (E) by 1-3/4 inches and the miters
of the upper trims (F) should line up with the miters of the lower trims (E). Mark the
placement of the inside edges of the upper trims (F), remove the upper trims (F), and
apply glue to the portion of the lower trims (E) outside the marks. Clamp the upper trims
(F) in place and let the glue cure for about an hour. If you are short of clamps, screw
through each lower trim (E) into its upper trim (F) using three 1-1/4-inch screws. You can
then move your clamps to the next pair of trims and fasten them together. Again, use 1-
