What could be nicer on a cold winter morning?than breakfast in bed! Our master class today will teach you how to make an original and stylish table for your bed from wooden boards and copper plumbing elements. On a cloudy cold morning, you want to spend more time in a cozy warm bed. Do not deny yourself this pleasure! Our master class will teach you how to make an original and practical table for your bed yourself. With the help of this simple, but very stylish device, you can eat and work without getting out of bed.To create such a table you will need the following tools:

  • drill,
  • clamp,
  • measuring tape,
  • ruler,
  • pencil,
  • pipe cutter,
  • saw.

You can do without the last two if you cut them to the required dimensions right in the store. Necessary materials:

  • 1.5 meters of copper pipe (diameter 15 mm),
  • 4 adapters (inlet hole 15 mm),
  • 4 connecting elbows (15 mm),
  • 4 flanges (15 mm),
  • 4 plugs (15 mm),
  • 4 supports (15 mm),
  • 3.6 meters of strong wooden board (about 6.5 cm wide),
  • epoxy glue,
  • glue for wood.

First, cut the board so that it looks like this:four pieces 75 centimeters long and two pieces 30 centimeters long. Cut the pipe as follows: two pieces 20 centimeters long, four pieces 16 centimeters long, two pieces 19 centimeters long. Connect the four long boards together by gluing them end to end. Secure with a clamp. This will be the tabletop. Then glue the shorter pieces on the sides, perpendicular to the tabletop boards. These will be the bases of the handles. Let's start installing the table legs. To do this, follow these steps:

  • First, assemble one leg from copper parts,connecting them in the following order: adapter, 16-centimeter pipe, elbow, 20-centimeter pipe, elbow, 16-centimeter pipe, adapter. You should get a U-shaped structure.
  • Place flanges on the free ends and attach to the table top.
  • Mark the mounting locations (they should be located under the handle bases, otherwise the screws will simply go right through).
  • Remove the flanges and attach them to the countertop using a drill and screws.
  • Insert a n-shaped stem into them, fixing all joints with epoxy glue.
  • Do the same to make the second leg.
  • Put the press on the feet and allow the epoxy adhesive to freeze.
  • Turn the table over so that the front side is facing you.Attach the supports to the wooden handle bases (two for each, near the edges) using screws. Insert the remaining 19 cm long pipe sections into them. To give the handles a more aesthetic look, close the ends of the pipes with copper plugs, not forgetting to use epoxy glue for fixation. Now your table is all set up! Time to get into bed and try it out! upcycledtreasures.com
