I would add boards to the to of the metal legs and side pieces to make shelves, paint the metal copper and use them in a French kitchen

@tericoulter9230 7 ай бұрын

Another tip to fill a over size hole, taught to me by my carpenter father, is to fill the hole with wood glue and then stuff as many toothpicks in as will fit. Let dry and cut or break or sand off any excess at the top. The result is stronger than the original wood was.

I'd use the metal pieces for a flower garden low fence edging

@terripenfield5069 8 ай бұрын

You can also use baking soda and super glue to fill the screw hole. Once it hardens, it is hard as a rock allowing you to drill into the area.

I think just removing the center iron from the table and keeping the original legs would have updated the piece. Doing aged effect on the legs, and doing an aged wood color. Modern rustic, goes with many styles. The wooden legs look a bit dated. You do beautiful work. Love your videos. 👍😁

Base might be good to build a sunken “coffee table” for outdoors with plants potted into the top. Kind of like a raised flower bed.

You can use the base for shelves or risers, and decorative pieces on old salvage. So many uses.😁

Personally I would have spray painted the metal base black and not added the wood legs. Having said that, it would be cool to use that base as a garden bench.

I think that you could make a lovely garden bench from the old legs. It would look good with a painted finish, say verdigris or rusty-look.

@cathyjackson5959 7 ай бұрын

Love this!! Learned that surf prep has a round sponge type thing that I can attach to my orbital sander!!! Yay!! I’m a gardener so I’d make a box (inverted coffee table) with slats for bottom (for drainage) line with black liner, poke holes int black liner (between slats, then plant succulents with recipe for succulent dirt!! Store bought is not that great. Of course do all the sanding and stuff!! Use outdoor spray paint that’s used for outdoor equipment-forget the name-ugh. As far as legs! I’d use Dixie Belles patina paints to make rusty crusty!! Then plant!! Can decorate with marbles, pine cones, rocks, plastic animals, etc!!!

@madelynvazquez9006 8 ай бұрын

Thanks for sharing, you gave me a great idea on what to do with an outdated coffee table that I bought in FBMP for only 20 dollars. The base is very similar to the one you worked on in this video, so that means I will be making a trip to Home Depot very soon 😅

Nice update! I'm doing something similar with my outdated maple coffee table. Question: why use chemical stripper instead of a carbide scraper?

@pmg7538 7 ай бұрын

Beautiful results, thank you. Question: would a second coat of the stripper be easier than sanding the remaining stain/varnish down? or would that have been too messy and not worth it? thank you

@destindeplorable 7 ай бұрын

I think the legs would make a great vanity stool! The sides would make an awesome piece to a headboard/footboard or daybed arms! Question? How often do you find the underside of tables or the backs of dressers stained to match the flip? Just curious- I like to flip/remodel etc for myself but have noticed on flip videos the drawers, backs or underneath of items typically aren’t done. Thanks & I absolutely LOVE the new table!!!!

Could join the pair of legs together and make a pot plant stand.

You need to find a metal worker so the table could be combined. A mix of wood and metal would be awesome with a nod of preserving the originality of the piece.

Why didn't you just put the screw in while the putty was still soft? No drilling necessary. It turned out beautiful by the way.

If the bolt in the legs wasn't the same size as the holes in the base, why didn't you just fill the holes in the base with the epoxy filler and then drill the correct size ?

@ChristinaMuscari 8 ай бұрын

The table top had threaded inserts in the hole, so I would have had to pry those out to be able to fill and redrill. That seemed harder than replacing the bolts, so I went that route, but you could definitely do either.
