One of the great things about building your own furniture, is that you have the freedom to decide the exact dimensions, the design and the materials.
Let’s say you see something you like in a store, but the size is all wrong, the price a little shocking, or the style just a touch too generic. Remember that easy bench I built?
Well…. you don’t have to walk away feeling too disheartened because you can just build it yourself – exactly the way you want it!
Which is exactly what I DID!
I built a bar cart - becuase I have always wanted one!!

HOW TO:
Create two rectangle boxes from the timer wood. Attach with wood glue and leave to dry
Then add an MDF base
Next cut your copper pipes to the desired length. You will need to mkae x2 U shaped frames.
Secure pipes together with super glue
Next using a sharpie and a ruler, mark out the position of your holes on the frame (this will hold the boxes you’ve just built -use the height of your boxes as a rough guide on how to space your holes. The height of the boxes I made was 10cm).
Use a drill to to make the holes
Once the holes are made spray paint everything (boxes included ) to the desired colour
And assemble it al together using your pre- drilled holes.
I use stem castor wheels - you can find out how I attached those CLICKING HERE
