Outdoor table built using old dining chairs

skmgold

There is dining table with six chairs that were not getting used, specially the chairs.

I was thinking of putting these out for council pickup but then thought, I keep buying timber then why throw out good timber and came up with this idea of building an outdoor multipurpose table.

Materials

396mm x 1200mm 7mm plywood

42mm x 19mm x 1800 mm  premium pine 3 pieces

1800mm 12mm round

12mm half round moulding

wood screws

2 lengths of old Floor board

Glue

Tools

Just a jig saw and work horse

Steps

Step 1

Took the seats and backs off the chairs and used timber from other chairs to form the side support for top shelf.

Used pyywood cut to size to form bottom shelf anf fixed by wood screws. 

Used floor boards cut to size and screwed in to top form top shelf.

Used the pine wood to form three supports for top shelf.

Finished with half round moulding.

Hello @skmgold 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us and thanks for sharing your outdoor table project.

What a clever idea turning your timber chairs into a single table. It took me a moment to realize that it was two chairs that I was looking at. It's certainly very sturdy and it's a fantastic way to give your chairs a second life. 

Again, thank you for sharing such a fantastic project.
