Watch me make a unique hand crafted coffee table that will be a timeless addition to any household,
Very sturdy and stylish
Very sturdy and stylish
The first step is cutting some 100x50mm rhs steel into lengths as follows
Debur all the cuts and make it all look smooth and clean
On two of the 470mm long pieces of stock, strike centre lines on each piece and divide up for 6 holes ,
Centre punch these marks ready for drilling and drill 8mm holes
Here are all holes drilled with a 90mm long 14G battern screw inserted for reference
Here we can see the two 470mm long horizontal pieces being butted into the two 330mm long upright pieces, tack welded and being checked for square.
Finish welding all butt joins and grind spatter etc till smooth
Apply 3 coats of matte black epoxy till coverage is even on both leg frames
On the table we have shown ,i used 200x75mm recycled oregon beams ,
Sand and sand some more to get them to look how you would like them ,
Using a Belt sander with 80 grit will speed things up, then work your way down in grades finishing with 240grit in a orbital sander.
Grab some water based polyurethane clear and start coating all the slabs of oregon,
Once all the pieces are dry , grab twelve 90x14G pattern screws and fix the legs to the table top,
The finished product ,is a beautiful hand crafted table that will last years upon years,
