Building Expensive Coffee Table on a Budget

What happens here

The dowel is measured and marked for four equal sections, each 15.5 inches long. The presenter suggests using a miter saw for precision but demonstrates using a circular saw for a more 'limited tools' approach. After cutting, the dowel legs are primed with a gray primer spray paint and then coated with satin black spray paint to achieve the desired look.

Goal: The 3/4 inch dowel is cut into four equal 15.5-inch sections, which will serve as the legs. These dowel segments are then primed and painted satin black to match the original coffee table's aesthetic.

Tools and materials

  • Circular Saw (or Miter Saw)
  • Gloves
  • Measuring Tape
  • Pencil
  • Respirator Mask
  • Gray Primer Spray Paint Rust-Oleum
  • Satin Black Spray Paint Rust-Oleum

all right so first tool first part we're going to take this dowel and cut into four equal parts 15 and a half is the height of this table that we need to recreate so if you have a miter saw great if not use a circular saw okay so i got my dowels uh secured standing on the bottom you can always secure them with screws or pins like i just did we did a little bit of primer and then some satin black to make them look like the legs that are currently on the existing table [Music]
