How to Make a Table Within $10
Intro: How to Make a Table Within $10
i want a table. It should be a working table and also a multiple use outdoor table. But for an unemployed guy, cheaper is my first choice - I want to make a table, cheaper to make a table.
In local hardware store, I found they always sell some short piece wood which only cost $1 or $0.5. They are normally more or less in 4'.
I bought some of the short pieces to home. In the picture, with the yellow paint cost $1, with green paint only cost $0.5.
Now, I can make the table. I can make the table within $10.
Table size: L53" X W23.5" X H30"

STEP 1: Material
2 pieces 2x12 board cut to 28 1/2' long as legs $1x2=$2
2 pieces 2x10 trim to 48" long as part of top board $1x2=$2
2 pieces 2x 3 trim to 48" long as center part of top $0.5x2=$1
4 pieces 2x 3 cut in half and trim to 8 piece 23 1/2" long $1x4=$4(most time 2x3 only cost $0.5 each)
Total: $9.
and I used some recycled old 2x4 stud which no cost(if have to buy in store the 2x4 short than 3' normally cost $0.5 each)
2 pieces 33" long
some waste small piece 2x4 cut to
4 pieces 6" long
4 triangles

STEP 2: Make Top
Use 2 pieces 2x10 board 48"long, 2 pieces 2x3 48"long and 2 pieces 23 1/2"long assemble top. Screw or nail as you like.
STEP 3: Make Leg
With 2 pieces 2x12 board 28 1/2"long, 2 pieces 2x3 23 1/2"long and 2 pieces 2x4 33"long make leg.
STEP 4: Assemble Leg to Top Board
Put leg and 2 pieces 2x3 23 1/2"long on the top board to fit and mark line with pencil to find the right place to fix 2 pieces 2x3 on the top board, then fix leg on 2x3. I don't want to say in how many inches you should screw 2x3, since we always make something more or less and the wood sometime warp a little bit. Fitting is right way here.
STEP 5: Foot and Triangles
Fix 4 pieces 2x4 6"long, 2 pieces 2x3 28 1/2"long and 4 triangle on the leg. The table is finished.
