DIY Tip - Make a trendy centre-table and re-define the art of home decor


REQUIREMENTS:

Materials:
  • Round wood logs cut 18 inches long
  • 4×8-foot sheet plywood
  • Wood glue
  • Wood screws
  • Grout
  • 4-inch casters
  • Clear polyurethane

Tools:
  • Circular saw
  • Miter saw
  • Drill Machine
  • Grout float
  • Putty knife

Method:
  • Use the plywood to create a base of 33×24 inches and a box measuring 27x18x16 inches. Cut two 27×16-inch and two 18×16-inch pieces for sides and one 27×18-inch piece for the top. Unite the box to the wooden base using screws.
  • Use a miter saw to cut logs to 18 inches. Using wood glue add logs to the wood box and base and screw through each log for extra strength.
  • Close the box with the plywood piece you have cut in step 1 and secure it to the rest of the box with screws.
  • Cut 1 inch wood rounds from the logs and place them to your box top using wood glue, masking the box underneath.
  • To fill the empty spaces remained between the pieces of logs, add grout to the entire surface and even it with a grout float. Use a putty knife to remove the excess grout from the coffee table and let the grout dry well before moving on.
  • Attach rolling feet to the base of the centre table using screws by positioning them 1 inch from the edge. For the finishing touch, add a coat of clear polyurethane to the table.
You are done!
