How to Transform a Boring Table

In this instructable, I will be showing you how I turned an ordinary, ugly table into this beautiful wood slice table. You can watch the 1 minute video above to see how I did this, or keep reading below. Alternatively, you could easily build this table from scratch if you do not have a table to restore and I have provided instructions on how to do that as well.

For this project, I used:

• Old Table
• Wood Slices (6 bags) https://amzn.to/2I2eb5o
• Loctite Heavy Duty Power Grab https://amzn.to/2CQOSj9
• Caulking Gun https://amzn.to/2WCwd24
• Twine https://amzn.to/2HV4m9X
• Hot Glue Gun/Hot Glue https://amzn.to/2uH4pgY
• Minwax Polycrylic Protective Finish https://amzn.to/2uHb1w4

If you do not have an old table and would like to create one from scratch you will also need:

• Wooden Circle (24 inch) https://amzn.to/2uFiHyC
• Legs https://amzn.to/2HQLTLK (These won’t look like the ones from the table I had, but they are the ones I would use if making the table from scratch.)
• Glass Top (24 inch) https://amzn.to/2WEDeQ0

If you do not have a table you are restoring but would like to make this from scratch, follow these steps. Use a drill bit to make pilot holes on the bottom of the wooden circle where the screws will go. You can hold the legs up to the table to know where to create the hole. Attach the legs with the screws.

I positioned some wood slices on top of the table to hold the glass at the proper height. Then I used Loctite Power Grab to adhere small wood slices along the edge of the table. I let that set for 12 hours.

I used hot glue to apply a couple layers of twine along the edges of the table to hide the Power Grab.

Before gluing down the wood slices on the top, I arranged all the pieces and made sure they fit the way I liked. I then used the Power Grab to glue them down and used sticky notes to mark which pieces I had already glued.

After allowing that to set for 12 hours, I flipped the table over to dump out any debris. I then applied Minwax Polycrylic Protective Finish to the wood slices to help preserve the wood.

After waiting 24 hours, I placed the glass on top and the table was ready for use.

And that's all it takes to transform this table! If you enjoyed this tutorial, please consider following me on Instructables and subscribing to my Youtube channel to see more content like this. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMQQAmEG3HaUyNFHi...
