In this instructable I will show my small drink tables. After I got rid of my old sitting room table I had a need for a new solution to place my beverages and snacks on, so I decided to make 2 small tables for both sides of my sofa. Luckily for me I had a big old block of hardwood, I think it was birch hardwood which I've had for a few years now. My design is simple no fancy joints this is only for holding drinks etc. I also decided to leave it natural without too much polishing and the result was as I hoped.

First I started marking the block of timber with the size of table top, I chose to make it 25mm thick.  I don't have a band saw so I used my skill saw with the side fence adjusted to 25mm.
After the table top parts where cut I marked the leg parts 35x35mm and cut them after setting my saw guide to the new thickness.
