In looking to keep myself occupied I thought it would be a worth while time to get out in the wood shop (my basement). I have ambitions of building a coffee table and maybe some end tables as well. I wouldn't say I'm a novice but also not a master carpenter by any means. I have built plenty of cabinets and draws before, tons of counter tops and some random custom wood pieces, but nothing too fancy. 

I am looking for advice, ideas or suggestions on building a coffee table and some end tables, anything will probably be helpful! I don't have a ton of tools but am serviceable with the basics. (jig saw, circular saw, hand planer, chisels, drills, etc.)
