Looking for a way to bring the classic midcentury modern style into your living room? Look no further than this stunning coffee table design by Rockler. Inspired by the iconic George Nelson design, this coffee table features clean lines and striking geometry that will make a statement in any space. Best of all, you can build it yourself with just a few basic tools and our step-by-step project plan, available for free download here.

The key to this project is the use of cross lap joints, which are easy to make with Rockler's innovative Cross Lap Jig. Simply attach it to your miter gauge, use it with your table saw and a dado stack, and you can cut uniformly spaced lap joints for latticework, wine racks, torsion boxes, shoji screens, and more! The jig's indexing key is width-adjustable for stock ranging from 1/8'' to 3/4'' wide, and the distance from the indexing key to the blade determines the spacing of your grid. With ergonomic knobs for easy adjustment, this jig makes creating a stunning coffee table a breeze.
