Building a beer bottle cap cable reel table using bottle tops and epoxy resin

Last year I made a small beer bottle cap table using beer bottle tops and epoxy resin, which you can see here: • Beer Bottle Cap Table ...
This time around I have used a large wooden cable reel to make this table, along with beer bottle caps, grout and epoxy resin. The table is trimmed with a wood edging and finished in woodstain.
I sourced bottle caps locally and up-cycled a builders cable reel to make a prefect recycled table. It is mounted on wheels so it can easily moved around the home without causing any damage.

Showing the process for putting on the edging would have been very useful....

@MattGiles 3 жыл бұрын

Its a 65MM bean, nailed on in 4inch spaces, then sealled to the base of the reel. Quite easy in the grand scheme of things. You can buy the trim from any roof and guttering supplier. I used a light oak effect version.

I love the idea of gluing down and filling most of the space with grout, as the epoxy resin is the expensive part by far.

@hawkdaddy64 4 жыл бұрын

I have done these before and I am offering some advice only. When you do these types of projects always ensure your epoxy is covering all parts of the top, you don't want things sticking up because in the future when you get scratches and gouges in it you can sand it down and reapply more epoxy over the old. In this case the beer caps may take some scuff damage when sanding is done. I hope this is helpful and not hurtful.

@@raybans8712 Yes....get the drum top level and make sure all yr Caps are glued down secure. Be sure to fit the outer edge and seal it with some silicone , to prevent Resin leaks. Also......dont do what i did and start Caps from the middle!!! start from outside Border and work in , that gives u some wriggle room in the centre if yr Caps are a little off centre.

Hello Matt, Im just drinking my way through 300 odd bottles to make a table like yours. After you have spread the resin, do you run a straight edge across the edging to make sure its flat? Also ive seen a lot of people apply a heat gun or blow torch to the resin to get rid of air bubbles? I take it you had no issues there. Cheers mate

@Musician324 4 жыл бұрын

If you get self levelling resin you shouldn’t have any issues. I also used gorilla glue to stick them as it’s quicker and dries clear. I found it didn’t work as well with tile adhesive. You shouldn’t need a blow torch.
