There are some basic steps you need to follow and understand to make your first wooden table, so let’s take a look at these steps. The first & most basic thing you need to know before making a table is the size of the table, which means you need to know how high, wide, and long your table should be. After this, the next decision you have to make is the design of the table, which should be round, square, or a cupboard design.
That is, you should know what kind of design you have for your table, and you have to cut the wood accordingly. Tables can be made from different types of wood, so this is also an important step. The price of the table will depend on the type of wood you choose. Some types of wood are cheap, and some are expensive.
Likewise, some types of wood make the table last for a long time, while others make the table break down quickly. So now you have to decide whether you want to make the table from this or that type of wood.
The availability of tools & materials
After finalizing the steps mentioned above, you need tools and materials; that is, you should have the tools to join the wood, the cutting tools, and the wood itself so that you can start making your table.

You should not do that! First, you have to cut the pieces of wood like the top of the table, the bottom of the table, its legs, etc., and other parts. You have to cut them first, or in other words, you do not have to join them; just cut them first. After cutting, you have to join the pieces of wood, and after joining the pieces of wood, you have to smooth them.

After polishing, you also have to put some decorative things on the table so that the table is beautiful and whoever sees it likes it very much and attracts to it. In this way, you can prepare the table.
