How to make a coffee table with wood and iron legs

Making a coffee table with wood and iron legs , is certainly not simple, strongly discourage the lazy to undertake this project, since it is a tiring job that requires time and patience , especially if this is the first time that you are confronted with materials so complex. In this tutorial I will explain how to design and make a coffee table, if you do not have the clear idea I recommend you ask for more information to a professional wood .

Start with a good design is useful, if not essential! Give a sketch of your idea on paper, remembering to calculate the measures, materials and areas to be included screws etc.. Once completed you need to get the right material, at home improvement stores you will find everything you need for sure. In this case, I will propose a practical example: I did cut a strip of wood of beech extent that I need. With a jigsaw I carved the shape of a circle, then with a milling machine I smoothed the entire surface of the circle. If you want to get a more refined, you can use strips of wood of different colors, different sizes and cut them into pieces fit like a puzzle. The use of a good glue and milling will be critical to the success of the plan.



Building of the iron legs is not an easy job if you do not have the proper tools, in this case I recommend you bring your project to a locksmith, but if you have a lab and you are able to weld the tubes in iron, 're done. In this case, I thought of the support that will consist of four pipes welded together, resulting in the first leg of the table .Remember to attach everything to the wooden top with screws.

Leave the wood rough plan is not a good idea , especially if it is to be placed inside a house using a sander clean the floor from shards then past a wax with a brush evenly, and lift up excess product with a cotton cloth Perform this procedure when the plan is already bolted to the steel structure, the underside will have to be sanded and then screwed together, the wax can be passed subsequently During this step, cover the work table with a cloth plastic, as you may spot.
