Download How To Make A Lift Top Coffee Table
PNG. To make this front edge a little more comfortable to grip, i ripped a 45 degree bevel onto that edge. Choose your material to build your coffee table from.
If you bought your lumber from l0wes or h0medep0t, a 1x4x8' board will actually be 3/4 x 3.5 x 8' because of how much they plane off to make the sides smooth. For this easy woodworking project i'm making a coffee table with a lift top mechanism and aluminum legs. Some designs take this idea to the next level.
The coffee table is a fickle friend.
If you choose the latter, head to a junk yard to find material for creating a welded steel base. I made a coffee table lift (# 1) using a vika amon plate and a trestle (in any hardware store) which i adapted some curtain rods to make it slide. The supports don't interfere much with the use of the bottom shelf of the hemnes. The base of the coffee table can be made of almost anything as long as it's capable of holding the heavy stone top.
