after seeing this nifty article on making a rustic bench in this month's readymade magazine, we decided to try our hand at a console table using the same concept (just a little taller).
we found an old joist in a local salvage shop for cheap.
ordered a couple of hairpin legs from hairpinlegs.com (good name, huh?).
screwed in the legs.
voila, nearly instant table! (picture below photobombed by you-know-who)
we're pretty happy with the result. it's modern and rustic, but most importantly, sturdy. i think a little lamp would look great on one end.
Hi! I'm ReadyMade's online editor. We are so glad you liked our project. The console table looks great.
ReplyDeleteI have been meaning to do the same thing. I have the wood, just need to buy the hairpin legs. Is that the raw steel or the stainless? Looks great, thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea, materials and photos. I recently found a set of four original 28" hairpin legs on craigslist, $10 for the set! I knew as soon as I found them what I wanted to do. Thank you for the great inspiration.
ReplyDeleteEEEEEK! Adore that table SO much...and your dog is PRECIOUS! I just might have to shamelessly copy you in the very near future!! New follower here!!
ReplyDeleteWow, I love this table! nice work..
ReplyDeleteI have found another great website for hairpin legs:
http://hairpinlegsforless.com
They sell legs for less and have excellent customer service :-)
St. Louis? That's a long orange line ride back to Oak Grove.
