Hey can you really save money by building your own furniture? Absolutely....but you do need to know what you're doing.

In this Throwback Thursday video, I recreate a beautiful designer-style side table that sells for $1,900.00. I built it for about $300.00.

I will show you step-by-step the planning, material choices and techniques I used to make the project. Remember the goal isn't just about saving money but also about building something that will last.

Thanks, Wes

$Pottery Barn Wanted $1,000 - I Built It For A Fraction Of The Cost #woodworking #wood #woodshop This coffee table looks high-end ...but you do not need to pay high-end prices. This is a throwback build from a couple of years ago and the lesson is just as valuable today. It was inspired by Pottery Barn and instead of buying it, I built it myself for a fraction of the cost. Not only was the goal to save money but to create something that looks like it belonged in a showroom.$
