Step One

Cut the pieces for the frame assemblies. Assemble the outer frames as shown using glue and countersunk 3″ screws.

Step Two

Cut the pieces for the angled frame assembly pieces. Cut the angles as shown using a jigsaw, bandsaw, or miter saw. Position the pieces inside the outer frames as shown securing in place using glue and 2″ screws.

Step Three

Cut the pieces for the top and bottom planks. Secure the planks to the top and bottom of the frame assemblies using glue and countersunk 2″ screws. Note that the planks on the outer edges of both sides are narrower (3-1/4″ wide) than the other planks.

Step Four

Secure the casters to the bottom (in a desired position) using 3/4″ screws.

Thoroughly sand and finish as desired.

This rustic/industrial coffee table is perfect for any space or any style. The casters make it even more awesome because it can be easily moved from place to place! Have any questions about the DIY plans to build a Westport Coffee Table? Leave a comment below!
