How to make a tabletop and frame for a table. Many ways to construct frames for tables of all sorts, for inside and outside. Table legs with simple diy constructions and more advanced joinery methods to make your furniture. We tried to compile examples for all skill levels, but mainly simple to make tables to assemble without classic joinery. Therefore you will mostly see tables that you can assemble with self tapping screws.
Another popular material for table frames are the tubes from scaffolding. That material is fitted together with special clamps and connectors which you have to tighten with an allen key.
With tubes you will always have stable and straight frames at perfect angles. Furthermore, the frame can even be disassembled again. For that reason these tube table constructions are the best if you have never made furniture before.
If, by chance, you do something wrong then you can dismantle it and start again.
Most examples are meant for absolute beginners at carpentry. You will not need to make any complicated wood joinbery. Most of the wood will be connected with self tapping screws. Construction is usually very straight forward.
