Spare cardboard cylinders? Just make a table with it 😊
Using the inner cardboard cylinders that I found at Bunnings in the Shade Cloth section from the bulk rolls of shade cloth, I asked a team member if I could take these as they were going to be thrown in the rubbish. Using a hand saw, I cut these into lengths of 550mm (one cylinder measures approx 2m from a large roll) so there were a few smaller pieces leftover for another project. Sanding the bottoms of the cylinders ensured I had a steady surface and no rough bits. I purchased a $5 wooden side table top from Bunnings and painted this in a white wash. I used a kitchen bowl to draw the circle of where I’d place all of the cylinders evenly, and using selleys liquid nails, stuck them down ensuring I stuck to the circular guide I had traced. I used some filler to fill the gaps between each cylinder and the same white paint for the legs.
I think this is an awesome idea. Could be made smaller like a mini coffee table for next to lounge suite cups of coffee and a plate of cookies when guests come.
how many rolls did you use per top?
Hello @Franz_51
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us.
Let me tag @lauraahearn to make them aware of your kind words and questions. Looking at the table structure, it appears that 8 or 9 rolls were used for the main table. My best advice is to make sure to use enough rolls on your project table so that the table will not topple over.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
