Step by step on how to make a traditional wood end table with custom made molding. What I think sets this table apart is the custom furniture molding. The table has some really cool custom stacked molding along the apron, under the table top, and around the bottom shelf. The table has a Doric Greek architecture feel and is definitely a statement piece in any home.

I made wooden buttons to hold the table top onto the base. If you want to see how to use table apron washers instead, then check out my video here: https://youtu.be/eeY3nbZ9Tt4
