ManCave Pt 1. Recycling a Bed to Make a Table.

I'm all for recycling and doing my bit to save things from going to landfills, this is why I have been saving the wood from a single bed in my out house.

I decided that my man cave needed a table in it to do the projects on, and this was a perfect opportunity to build from something that would have normally gone to tip.

I started by measuring the coal house, this is to make sure that everything I was to cut would fit in there, it turned out I only needed 62" so the bed wood needed cutting down a bit.

I then found some hard board that I would make into the table as well and I couldn't believe it when I placed them on because they fit a dream. this means no waste as I don't have to cut it down.

I had some old legs from a table that I used for another project and cut some 3 x 2's down to the same height as the legs, then placed it all together in the coal shed to see how it would look.

I then countersunk the holes for the screws and screwed it all together to make it nice and sturdy, just to make sure it was as solid as I would have liked I ran a bead of silicon around the table, this way I know that it isn't going to fall and squish one of my kids :D

It all went well, I have some pointing up to do in there to make it waterproof as it has damp, and a coat of paint and I am away,

So looking forward to using it to make my videos, lets just hope that I can point up this week end and make a start on the videos beginning of next week :D

steem to the moon.
