This small nightstand was a present for my brother. It was one of those relatively quick and easy deals made from big box store poplar and pocket holes. I really like pocket holes in certain applications and this was one where they seemed appropriate to me.
I wish I would have taken more pics during construction…but alas I did not. Now that I’m on lumberjocks I will definitely be documenting more during my builds. The drawer is lock rabbet joints at all for corners and I made the handle out of an exotic hardwood scrap that I could not identify. Finished with gel stain and spray-on poly. Thanks for looking!

Very nice! Simple, yet beautiful. I am also a fan of pocket holes. Love that Kreg jig :)
Well done!

Did you put ba floating top on it for movement? Nice and Clean piece. Now you have to make one for the other side of the bed? LOL!

Thanks for the comments! The top was attached with those figure 8 fasteners. I had some left over from my hall table project. Thanks for viewing!

Looks great. Did you use the Kreg jig for the pocket holes? I know they have like three or four different ones. I’m thinking about getting one but haven’t settled on which one. Any advice?

Yes Angie I did use the Kreg Jig. I really like my K4 jig system. If you have the means I would highly recommend buying it as you WILL use it. My opinion of course, but it has come in handy many times. I’ve used it on most any or all of my projects that have been painted. They’re not the prettiest joint in the world, but like I said in description of this project…pocket holes are great in certain applications. Give them a shot, you won’t be disappointed!

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. I think that is how the saying goes.
Where are did the plans come from? Desparately trying to get a night stand back on my side of the bed! Lol/

The plans came from my head. I just went out and “winged” it. The only request was that I make one with a drawer. There’s lot’s of beautiful designs here on LJ’s!
