Overall cost: $$. Lumber varies by region, species, and season, so we give a band rather than a figure.
If you would like to add a little flair to your console, taper the ends of each table leg (board D) with a jigsaw.
If you use pocket hole joints, use a Kreg Jig to drill the pocket holes.
To form a pair of table legs, sandwich board E between boards D. Offset board E 1″ from the edge of board D. Repeat.
Connect the pair of legs together with boards C. This will form the frame of the console.
Create the top shelf by edge joining boards F and H together. Board H should be in the middle. Create the two lower shelves by joining boards G and B together. Board B should be in the middle.
Attach the top shelf to the console frame.
Attach the lower shelves to the console shelf supports
Thoroughly sand the console. Use your favorite stain and sealer to finish the console.
