Curvy Side Table

Step 1

Trim one side of each of the 18 1/2" pieces of 2x10 to remove the rounded edge, these edges will be joined together. Use a Kreg Jig, wood glue and 2 1/2" screws to join the 2 boards together. Draw an 18" circle, I used the screw and string method.

I've created two table heights, a 23" and 27". Download and print the leg pattern from here.

Trace 2 leg patterns on the 2x10, you can nest 2 legs together to waste less wood. Cut 3/4" off of the butt of the pattern and trace 2 leg patterns on the 2x10, again nesting to save space.

Step 3

Use a bandsaw, scroll saw or jig saw to cut out the 4 legs and 18" circle. I used a bandsaw. Sand the legs and circle to remove ridges from the saw.

Step 4

Get the 2 legs with the extra 3/4" on the butt end. Use the Kreg Jig set for 1 1/2" material and join the 2 legs together with wood glue and 2 1/2" screws.

Step 5

Step 6

Drill pocket holes in the 4th leg and attach it to the center of the other 2 legs with wood glue and 2 1/2" screws.

Step 7

To attach the legs to the table top, make a countersink hole in the 'crook' of the leg. Place the legs centered on the circle and use 2 1/2" screws to secure in place.

Finishing

Sand all surfaces, starting with a medium grit and finishing with fine. Wipe off the dust, fill any holes or gaps with wood filler, and sand smooth once dry. Apply primer if you're painting, then finish with your choice of paint or stain and seal with a durable clear topcoat. For outdoor projects, use exterior-rated primer, paint or stain, and sealer so the piece stands up to the weather.
