For my new shop I needed a table I could easily move out of the way, just because the shop is a little small. I am going to show you how I build my rolling shop table. I know you can make this, it is so easy!
Cut your 4X4 posts to the height you desire. These will be the legs of your table. We cut our posts at 30 inches each.
Step 2
Cut your 3/4″ plywood (this will be the bottom of the table) at 2 feet by 4 feet.
Step 3
Screw your 3/4″ plywood into the 4×4 posts. I did not put the legs right at the corners, I left an edge because we will be adding trim. My edge measured almost an inch.
Step 4
Screw on your caster wheels to each corner.
Step 5
Because the plywood has a raw edge I’m putting this iron on veneer edging on it. All you do is iron it on and then sand down any of the extra.
Step 6
My butcher block was measured at 50 inches by 25 inches. This gave a lip of 2 inches on two sides and 1 inch on the other two sides. Put the butcher block on the top. We used glue and then used 3″ screws at a diagonal from the 4X4s into the bottom of the butcher block.

Step 7
I added trim to the top and the bottom of the posts. This trim also covered my diagonal screws that are holding the butcher block. I just used a brad nailer to attach the trim. I have added a YouTube video explaining how to cut the trim.
Step 8
Caulk where needed and fill in holes.
Step 9
Now it is time to paint! When painting cabinets by hand a foam roller is best! They sell them at pretty much all hardware stores. I used Evergreen Fog by Sherwin Williams.
Step 10
We used Varathane Clear Satin Polyurethane to cover the butcher block.
