What can I say about my most favorite piece of furniture. I use it every single day, and it couldn't be more me. I built it with salvaged furniture parts.
Here is one of the main ingredients.
GG started to question me as I stopped to pick up these
heavy bed posts that had been left on the road side.
heavy bed posts that had been left on the road side.
I wasn't sure what my plan was. So I made up a story
about turning them into lamps and he was content with that.
Once home I stashed them in my wood tent.
I frequently walk through my tent looking for parts and one
day weeks later the idea popped into my head as I passed by
the posts ....... I could use them to make a SOFA TABLE

So I started searching through the tent for something to use
for the top and bottom of the table. I found a super old 1920's
dining table top GG had removed the veneer from.
To see read more about that: how to remove veneer
I only used half of the table top, part for the
base and part for the top of my new table.
I cut the posts flat on the Mitre Saw and screwed
them to the base from underneath.

I created aprons for the base with other reclaimed parts from
the table. I used another piece of wood (like a 2x4) to go from the top of one post to the other. I screwed it into the
posts from the top down then screwed
that to the bottom of the tabletop.

When GG got home from work the day I finished it,
he didn't recognized any of the parts I had used.
What do you think of my new custom sofa table?
I work on this ASCP painted & waxed surface every day.
