Build a Hexagon End Table

A Super-Simple Table That Can Be Used Indoors or Outdoors

This easy to build hexagon end table is a fabulous weekend project! The plans are suitable for all skill levels, and the table can be finished however desired. All safety protocols should be in place and a comfortable, working knowledge of a table saw is helpful for cutting the bevels in the side panels.

Materials:

• 2″ Brad nails (<– affiliate link!)
• Edge banding, if desired (for the top of the side panels)
• Wood glue
• Sandpaper (80, 120, 220 grits)
• Finishing supplies

Lumber:

• 1 – 4′ x 4′ sheet of 3/4″ plywood

Cut List:

• 2 – 3/4″ plywood at 14″ x 16″ – Top and Bottom
• 6 – 3/4″ plywood at 8-7/8″ x 22″ – Panels

Notes About the Project:

• Sand all of the pieces before putting the table together
• The edge banding for the exposed edges of the panels is totally optional
• If building the table for the outdoors, make sure to use a proper outdoor finish!

Step One

Draw and cut out the pieces for the top and bottom on the plywood. Cut them out using a circular saw or a jigsaw.

Step Two

Cut the pieces for the side panels. Set the table saw to cut a 30° bevel and run each piece through the saw cutting the bevel on the long sides of each piece.

Step Three

Assemble the pieces by securing a panel to each flat side of the top and bottom using glue and 2″ brad nails. Apply a bead of glue to each bevel before placing the next piece.

Finish as desired!
