Beautiful coffee table with your own hands

Every artisan, working out the arrangement of the living room, thinks about how to make a coffee table with his own hands. The standard solutions offered by furniture stores are already bored. I would like to have an exclusive but inexpensive model in the house. We will give you several options. Of these, you can pick up and make a coffee table with your own hands.

If you love the beauty of natural wood, then we offer you three simple options. In the first case, it is enough to pick up a wooden log with a diameter of about 40-50 centimeters. It can be bought at any sawmill. And if you live in a private house and order firewood for heating, then easily pick it up from the tree trunks brought. To make a log of this log with your own hands you will need three furniture rollers and a colorless varnish. Treat the horizontal surface with a grinder. You can leave the bark. She will give your table decorativeness. Cover with a few layers of varnish lumber, let it dry thoroughly and screw furniture rollers to move the table around freely.

For the production of a coffee table, the second variant also uses tree trimming. For the legs you need to pick up a massive branch, the ramifications of which will allow you to cut a stable tripod. For the table top, we harvest a barrel with a thickness of 5-7 centimeters and a diameter of about 45 centimeters. Blanks are released from the bark, well cleaned and sanded. After this, using the screws, we fix the table top to the foot. Cover the finished product with several layers of varnish.

You can make an interesting coffee table yourself, using cut chunks from the trunk of birch. To do this, you will need a sheet of thick plywood, screws, liquid nails, white paint, varnish and furniture rollers. From the plywood we cut the base of our table. After that, make a smaller box and screw it in the center of the sheet. We fix the furniture rollers to the bottom.

Now we begin to decorate our table. For this, it is necessary to pour birch logs. With the help of liquid nails we attach them to the plywood box, placing on the perimeter of the base in an upright position. The height of the installed logs should be larger than the box by 5 centimeters. The free surface of the table is filled with birch spits, attaching them to liquid nails. After that, fill all the notches on the table top with a special grout, evenly applying it with a spatula. Immediately wipe the surface with a damp sponge, removing excess material, and leave to dry. Finish the finished product with a colorless varnish.

If you have two identical old bookshelves and a sheet of plywood, you can assemble a comfortable coffee table yourself with just one evening. Shelves can be used any, with glass doors and without them. First we make the basis of the table. We put two bookshelves, connecting their back walls with the help of four metal plates located on the bottom and top surface of the shelves. For self-tapping screw the furniture rollers, to facilitate the movement of the table around the room. From the plywood sheet we cut out the table top of the right size, put it on the shelves and screw it. The surface of the table can be painted with paint, treated with stain, decorated in the technique of decoupage , followed by treatment with a colorless varnish.

A beautiful coffee table with your own hands can be done if you have at your disposal a leg from a computer chair with a rotary mechanism. It will be necessary to cut out the plywood of the desired size and desired shape from the plywood or the enriched chipboard. Using the screws, we attach it to the foot. After that, we cover the plywood top with stain and colorless varnish. We let the product dry well and enjoy with pleasure.
