I\u2019m partnering with my friends over at Build Something to bring you the printable plans for this project, which you can download on their site.  This side table has plenty of storage and also plenty of space for you to display your books or home decor.  I\u2019m sharing the photo tutorial below and I\u2019ve also put together a video of the entire build.<\/p>\n<p><strong>*this post contains affiliate links<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Why Build Your Own Furniture?<\/h3>\n<p>The beauty of building your own furniture is that it costs FAR less to build it than buy it.  In fact, I was just recently talking about this and said that I build furniture to fit my attention span.  Seriously!  If a piece of furniture lasts for years and years, great!  But if my tastes suddenly change and I decide I want to build something new for a room, it doesn\u2019t break the bank like it would if I were BUYING new furniture.  <\/p>\n<p>Another huge benefit?  If something needs to be repaired, you can likely fix it very easily.  For example, let\u2019s say your oldest son\u2019s friend gets locked under your youngest son\u2019s bed and decides to kick his way out and breaks to door off.  You can fix it!  Trust me, that helped me calm down A LOT when that incident happened.  Imagine if I had bought that captain\u2019s bed and had to try to find a replacement door?!<\/p>\n<h3>Watch:  How To Build A Side Table With Storage<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How To Build A Side Table With Storage\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IM907w3tt-Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h3>Step By Step Tutorial:  How To Build A Side Table<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201024%20576'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"ripping wood down on table saw\" class=\"wp-image-9248\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/ripping-2x2-boards-down-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/ripping-2x2-boards-down-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/ripping-2x2-boards-down-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/ripping-2x2-boards-down-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/ripping-2x2-boards-down.jpg 1920w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/ripping-2x2-boards-down-1024x576.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<p>I built this side table using rough-cut knotty alder.  This means that I had to mill down the lumber to dimensional sizing.  I drew up the plans for this project to reflect dimensional lumber sizing (for example:  a 2\u00d72 is 1 1\/2\u2033 x 1 1\/2\u2033) to make it easier to follow.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201024%20576'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"filling knots with epoxy\" class=\"wp-image-9249\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/filling-knots-with-epoxy-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/filling-knots-with-epoxy-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/filling-knots-with-epoxy-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/filling-knots-with-epoxy-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/filling-knots-with-epoxy.jpg 1920w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/filling-knots-with-epoxy-1024x576.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<p>In using knotty alder, it also meant that I had quite a few large knots in the wood.

Cut all of the wood to the dimensions listed in the printable plans.  Drill 3\/4\u2033 pocket holes into the boards.  Glue up the joints and clamp together, then secure with 1 1\/4\u2033 pocket screws.  I cut the panel boards a bit long because it\u2019s difficult to ensure they are assembled perfectly flush with each other.  I used my Adaptive Cutting System to square up one end, then turned the panel around to trim it down to size.  I followed these same steps to build the shelf of the table as well.<\/p>\n<p>Drill 3\/4\u2033 pocket holes into all four sides of the side panels and each end of the shelf.<\/p>\n<h3>Build the Back Panel And Drawer Front<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201024%20576'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"building drawer front\" class=\"wp-image-9253\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/building-drawer-frontback-panel-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/building-drawer-frontback-panel-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/building-drawer-frontback-panel-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/building-drawer-frontback-panel-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/building-drawer-frontback-panel.jpg 1920w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/building-drawer-frontback-panel-1024x576.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<p>Drill 3\/4\u2033 pocket holes in the boards that make up the drawer front and back panel of the side table.

Drill 1 1\/2\u2033 pocket holes into the 17 1\/2\u2033 2\u00d72 pieces.  Glue and clamp these pieces to the top and bottom edges of the side panels.  Secure in place with 1 1\/4\u2033 pocket screws.  Attach the legs with wood glue and 2 1\/2\u2033 pocket screws as well as 1 1\/4\u2033 pocket screws where the panels meet the legs.<\/p>\n<p>Attach the stretchers to the front and back sides of the table base, 1 1\/2\u2033 up from the bottom of the legs.  Use wood glue and 1 1\/4\u2033 pocket screws to attach.<\/p>\n<p>Glue and clamp the solid back panel of the table in place.

Again, I cut these boards a little long to trim up later.  I glued up the edges of the boards and clamped them together.  Be careful not to over tighten the clamps when gluing up the top to prevent bowing.  I let the glue cure overnight, then trimmed the table top down to size on my Adaptive Cutting System.<\/p>\n<h3>Attach The Table Top<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"805\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201024%20805'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"attaching the table top\" class=\"wp-image-9254\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/attaching-table-top-copy-1024x805.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/attaching-table-top-copy-300x236.jpg 300w, https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/attaching-table-top-copy-768x604.jpg 768w, https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/attaching-table-top-copy.jpg 1500w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/attaching-table-top-copy-1024x805.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<p>I used desktop fasteners to attach the table top to the base.  I used three on each side and traced around the smaller side with a pencil.  Using a 3\/4\u2033 forstner bit on my drill, I drilled a hole approximately 1\/8\u2033 deep.  The fastener should be flush with the top of the base.  I attached the fasteners with 1 1\/4\u2033 wood screws.  I centered the table top over the base and then clamped it in place.  I then attached it through the other end of the fastener with 1 1\/4\u2033 wood screws.<\/p>\n<h3>Build Drawer Boxes<\/h3>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"765\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201024%20765'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"building drawer boxes\" class=\"wp-image-9255\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/building-drawer-boxes-1024x765.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/building-drawer-boxes-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/building-drawer-boxes-768x574.jpg 768w, https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/building-drawer-boxes.jpg 1500w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/addicted2diy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/building-drawer-boxes-1024x765.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<p>I ripped my plywood pieces to 7\u2033 wide and then cut them down to length on my miter saw.  I drilled 3\/4\u2033 pocket holes into the front and back pieces of the drawer box.  I glued and clamped the pieces together, then secured them with 1 1\/4\u2033 pocket screws.  I cut 1\/4\u2033 plywood to match the dimensions of the drawer box, then attached it with wood glue and 3\/4\u2033 narrow crown staples.

Set up the jig so the hole placement is the same as your hardware.  Drill the holes into the drawer front only.  Center the drawer front over the drawer box.  Playing cards work great to set an even gap all of the way around.  Drive 1 1\/4\u2033 wood screws through the holes and into the drawer box.  Pull the drawer out and drill pilot holes into the inside of the drawer box close to all four corners.  Attach the drawer front with 1 1\/4\u2033 wood screws.  Finish drilling the 3\/16\u2033 holes through the first two holes drilled.  Attach the drawer handle\/pull.<\/p>\n<h3>Finish the project as desired<\/h3>\n<p>This project can be finished any way you like.
