This rustic modern coffee table is made from 2x8s, angle irons, and black iron pipe. I used angle irons to bind the pieces of 2×8 together and then made a legs for the table out of ¾” diameter plumbers pipe. It is a sturdy table that can be made in a variety of sizes and heights.

Neat table.
Oh my gosh! Another excellent tutorial! I love all the great little tips about the power tools! Thanks for posting
Hey Ben. Nice work! I used the same concept to make a bar table.. It’s amazeballs! Keep it up!
I’m new to wood working and would love to make this table. What type of wood do you recommend for coffee table (pine, cedar, ect)? I would love to hear some advantages/disadvantages of different types of wood for this project.

Hey nice video, just wondering if I were to make this, would it be strong enough to hold a laptop and a tv? I would like to make this a desk
i don’t like it how the music gets substancially louder when he is not narrating
hit the subscribe button so hard….
Nice design!
Any chance you can make a list of the items you used and where you sourced them?
How much did all the pipes cost
Did the wood warped after few months? This some common problems
Very nice video, and the design of table is really cool. I subscribe !
Very very cool…. excellent idea AND execution.
Great job, I read the previous comments, I would not change a thing on your design!
I just build my first table! thanks so much for the video
Do you use a planer on your boards or just pick the least bowed boards in the store?
God bless Ben’s beard.
Hi Ben, I did almost the same one with cherry wood but no metal edge. It’s beautiful, and very easy to make with pipes. Keep up the good work ! Love your channel.
Using a router would be much easier to get that inlay on both sides
cool coffee table.
I what to make it but as a dining table.
Awesome video. What were the size of the legs you ended up keeping at the end of the episode after readjusting the size?
Thanks
Beard!
I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. However, might I suggest, tucking your headphone wires UNDER your shirt? PLEASE? I can’t tell you how many times I cringed in fear thinking “This is it. This is how he goes out. By accidentally getting his earbuds caught.” I need you around for a very long time, as so I can continue to learn DIYs! 🙂
Love your videos! Would it be a terrible idea to use an iron pipe table as an outdoor dining table? Would I need to treat the iron somehow or should I consider another project? Thanks!
How much did this project cost?
Great video, as usual. I’m building a coffee table right now myself, and I’m wondering what finish would be best for the wood table top. We eat a lot of meals at our coffee table, so I need something waterproof and durable. Would danish oil handle this well? I like the idea of using oil over polycrylic, but I’m not positive if it’d be as safe.
Thanks again for the video, I really like your stuff.
dope
Ben, do you think you could include approximate project costs on your videos? I could estimate, but I think many people could benefit. Thanks for your great content!
Nice simple, easy table. Beginners should feel comfortable attempting this.
One option to make it even easier would be to flip the angle iron to the bottom of the table. The end cuts would still be covered but you wouldn’t have to notch the ends, which is probably the most difficult part of the build. Of course, that would change the aesthetic, and stuff might tend to get trapped between the wood and the iron.
