Here is a quick, easy, and cheap way to get yourself a designer dining table on a shoe-string budget. As I have just had my first child I am cautious about where I spend my money. Growing up I remember our dining table, where the family would come together every morning and reunite at the end of day. It was the place where many friendships were formed over shared meals. This table (I hope) will be the home to such memories and where I will get to know my son, family, and friends :)


Tools I used:







  • Sander (belt and orbital)
  • Biscuit cutter
  • Circular saw
  • Drill and driver
