Kitchen table by own hands

The "heart" of any house of the hostess is always trying to equip especially cozy. The most carefully used are usually chairs and a table where the whole family gathers for dinner. In this article, we offer two ideas for designing a kitchen table with our own hands, which are easy to implement.

Wooden kitchen table with own hands from boards

If you want to make a kitchen table with a good top , it is not necessary to buy expensive wood for this. Quite often in small private factories there remains a huge amount of waste in the form of boards from different types of trees. Yes, and in cottages, many have whole warehouses of such kindness.

1. First, the entire material is adjusted to the same size. It is very convenient to calculate the size of the boards, based on the final dimensions of the table. For example, the table in the finished form should be 42х42 cm, then it will be convenient to use workpieces with a width of 4 cm.
2. Next, we begin to lay out our boards on the working surface. It looks like a bit brickwork. You have each subsequent board so that its middle is at the junction of the two previous ones.
3. All working material is decomposed. Now you need to make the table top of the kitchen table with your own hands. To do this, we take carpentry glue and three clamps. At one time you will be able to glue together up to six rows.
4. Next, you need to level the surface with a grinder and cut off the edges. Work will have to be paired, as the countertop of such a kitchen table with your own hands will turn out to be very heavy.
5. When everything is ready, it is necessary to carefully sand the entire surface and sections.
6. We make the legs for the wooden kitchen table with our own hands from two boards, which are connected by a corner between each other. To do this, we also use joinery glue, the loan carefully sand the entire surface.
7. We will collect the whole construction with the help of such an iron corner and screws. At the end between the legs under the table top we fasten the "skirt", which will give the whole construction a finished look.
8. At the end, the table can be covered with a layer of stain or immediately lacquered. If you polished all the surfaces well, then the surface will be smooth.

Making a kitchen table with your own hands from wooden pallets

Sometimes you can make a kitchen table with your own hands and at all for a penny. For example, in warehouses you can buy for a funny money wooden pallets, which are often thrown away. We will make a table of them.

1. First of all we make the frame of the future table-top.
2. Next, install and nail the legs of the table. Also, if necessary, you can install these partitions: they will make the construction more rigid and to them you can nail the cross planks to make a shelf for the necessary trifles.
3. To make the table mobile, we attach it to the legs of the wheel.
4. We turn our table. Next we need a sheet of plywood. Its thickness should be sufficient to work on a finished table.
5. We put a sheet of plywood on the frame and cut off the excess.
6. On the perimeter you need to make this kind of side.
7. Next, we work on the countertop of the kitchen table with our own hands. Here you can use any available materials: a finished mural or small tiles, small pieces of chipped tiles. We glue the mosaic and let it dry thoroughly.
8. Then fill all the slots with a solution, which is usually used for grouting joints. In the end, all this can be painted with special paint or apply a final protective layer of varnish.
9. Here you can make such a creative wooden kitchen table without much money.
