Remember how I confessed that my latest chair makeover was a roadside find that sat untouched in my basement for nearly a year? Yea, ummm, the same is true of this cart turned industrial DIY coffee table. From the time I bought it, I had planned on turning it into a coffee table, but one thing led to another and it just now got completed. This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Elmer’s ProBond Advanced. We made them overhang slightly on each side, so they were each about 29 inches long. We used Elmer’s ProBond Advanced glue to adhere the wood to the metal.
First, I sanded it to smooth rough edges and round the corners a bit. I liked just the wood stain, but ya’ll know me, I wanted it to stand out a bit more, so I added some decorative “arrows” with white paint and FrogTape.
Then, as shown in #3, you want to remove the tape where those two x’s are so that you have clean lines on your point.
I did this by taking another piece of wood, lining it up on the tape, and running my X-Acto knife over it. After cleaning up my lines, I painted between the tape, let it dry and finished the whole thing off with a coat of polycrylic. The ProBond Advanced glue worked perfectly – not one of the wood pieces will budge at all.
