A coffee table is a very important and necessary piece of furniture. It is so nice to drink tea behind him, resting after a hard day. It's doubly nice if. 
Drawing of a multi-tiered coffee table.
We put into action any materials
A comfortable table can be made from a variety ofitems that are easy to find. It's all right, even the most incredible at first glance: old window frames, suitcases, car tires, wooden pallets, boxes or any other items. As for materials, they can be very different: glass, wood, metal, plastic. 
The scheme of making a wooden roundcoffee table. For example, you can assemble a very interesting glass and bamboo specimen, and decorate the countertop with souvenirs brought from the sea. Before you do it yourself, you need to prepare: decide how it should look and draw up a drawing of the future design. The drawing must be made as detailed as possible, all dimensions must be indicated on it and the attachment points must be marked. This will allow you to more accurately perform the work and calculate the amount of material and fasteners required. To work, you will need the following materials and tools: 
Scheme connecting the legs with a table top using dowels.
- plywood with a thickness of 20-30 mm;
- glass with a thickness of 10 mm;
- bamboo blanks;
- thick twine for table top decor and thin for legs;
- metal rods;
- silicone gaskets;
- feet-balusters;
- a hammer;
- drill;
- electric jig saw;
- glue;
- roulette;
- nails, screws;
- varnish and brush;
- decor (shells, pebbles, sand).
With regard to bamboo blanks, it is necessaryprepare 3 thin sticks with a length of 1 m and 4 pieces of a larger diameter for the size of the countertop. For the legs, you can choose balusters or cut out the workpieces from a wooden beam. From metal rods it is necessary to saw 2 pieces, the length of which corresponds to the length of the tabletop, and 2 pieces with a length corresponding to its width. Back to contents</a>
Stages of work execution
Stages of varnishing and painting of a wooden magazinetable. All the steps to make a table must be carried out, strictly adhering to the drawing. The countertop is planned to make a double - bottom of plywood, the upper part of glass. To do this, cut out blanks of the right size. The glass blank should be made 30 mm wider on each side. On the perimeter of the plywood workpiece, large diameter bamboo poles are screwed with screws. The appearance of the workpiece should resemble a box. The coffee table should be strong and not unsteady. For this, the legs must be fastened together with metal rods. Long segments are fixed at the bottom of the legs, and those that correspond to the width of the countertop, in the middle. For additional fastening, thin bamboo workpieces are used, which are adjusted crosswise at the top of the legs. 
The scheme of assembling a coffee table. To screw the legs to the table top, you need to prepare 5 holes at the end of each of them and on the plywood blank. Screw them with screws. Pre-legs and rods must be wrapped in a thin twine. Wind the twine tightly so that the workpieces are not visible. Then coat the legs with varnish. With a hammer and nails under the bamboo side, you need to nail a thick twine along the entire perimeter of the plywood billet. On the bamboo frame it is necessary to drill the holes in steps of 150-200 mm. In them, insert silicone gaskets, which will hold the glass top and will not let it slip. Inside the countertop, distribute all the "riches" brought from the sea, and close the finished glass with glass. Instead of seashells in the showcase can be laid any other decor.

Another way to make a table
The original coffee table can be made from an old car tire. Such a design can be performed even without a drawing. For work you will need: 
The scheme of manufacturing the table top.
- tire;
- glue joiner;
- roulette;
- sheet of plywood;
- electric jig saw;
- self-tapping screws;
- metal corners;
- twine;
- wooden beams 50x50 mm.
The tire must be whole without cuts and punctures. It should be thoroughly washed with a detergent and a hard brush. Do it better on the street. There it will be possible to thoroughly wash the workpiece with a large head of water from the hose. Then use a tape measure to measure the diameter of the tire. From a sheet of plywood, use an electric jig saw to cut a circle of the required diameter. As for the workpiece for the base of the table, its diameter should be 50 mm less. 
Drawing of a glass coffee table. Cut out the legs from the wooden beam. On the workpiece of smaller diameter, note the locations of their fastenings. In order for the table to stand stably, the legs should be closer to the outer edge at equal distances from each other. They are glued with joinery glue. After the glue dries, they can be fixed with self-tapping screws and metal corners. Then, it is possible to attach the upper and lower blanks to the tire. To begin better with the bottom. On it it is necessary to put a sufficient quantity of a building glue. Top the tire and press it tight. Then apply glue on the top of the tire and glue the countertop. The legs and the bottom of the table must be covered with varnish or paint in several layers. As for the decor, you can let go of your imagination and decorate the table the way you want. For example, twine wrap the entire structure. To ensure that the twine holds well, adhesive should be applied to the side of the tire. Then wrap the entire surface. Twine stack tightly, so that there are no gaps. On the top tabletop also lay the twine. Pre-apply glue on it. You need to start from the middle and lay the twine in a circle, covering the entire surface of the countertop. Finished table can be varnished </ ul>
