Many of us, without hesitation, throw out a thing that has served its time. But old products have the property to be transformed with the help of human hands, which give them new forms and give new functions. The used tire can be used as a support for the countertop.
How to make a small table with your own hands?
- We prepare for work an old tire, a rope, some wooden boards, an adhesive for fixing ropes, screws, a grinding machine for wood.
- We wind the tire with a rope and fix it with a hot-melt adhesive. The way of winding depends on your imagination and the amount of rope. Working along, we save material.
- By the diameter of the tire, we cut the boards into bars of the required length.
- We put them in a row and draw on them a circle around the diameter of the table.
- The extra part of the board is cut off.
- We turn the boards of the table top face down, we lay across a pair of beams and fasten the parts with screws.
- We process the butt and the front part of the tabletop with a grinding machine. This work must be done in the event that the bars are not close to each other and irregularities are noticeable.
- After we have leveled the surface, we burn it. You can do without burning one stain. In any case, you will underscore the amazing drawing that nature has created.
- In a calm place we cover the table top with varnish, without forgetting to process the ends.
- We give the varnish to dry and only then we continue the work.
- At the final stage, we insert the finished table-top into a rope-covered tire.
You were convinced that making a beautiful mini table by yourself in a rustic style is quite simple, especially if it comes to the things that are necessary for us at the cottage. It is a country house that is the place where we can use old tires without damage to our health.
