Many of us wish we could have outdoor lights glowing year-round; sadly, knotted electric cords and high energy bills hold us back. Thankfully, technology has advanced. Today, I’d like to share how I made a DIY fairy light tree with Starbright’s solar-powered string lights that could stay on year-round. Having solar-powered lights eliminates the need for long electric cords. This project was sponsored by Starbright.
Make an Industrial Style Pipe Leg Table With Just One ToolA
27.06.2023 - 07:29 / hometalk.com
I wanted to build a table that would compliment my modern, warehouse inspired apartment, so I designed an industrial style table with legs made from steel pipes. It was very easy to construct since the pipes I purchased were threaded on both sides. I just screwed the base and legs together and attached them to the tabletop with a screwdriver. One tool was all it took to make this high-end looking piece, that suits my apartment perfectly. Check out the full DIY and get ready to make your own.
1 ½ Black Steel Pipe Threaded On Both Ends In These Sizes:
- 2 — 24”
- 4 -18”
- 4 — 12’
- 4 — 6”
- 6 Tee Fittings
- 8 Flanges
- 1 Coupler
1 ¼ Thick Wooden Board Cut To 3’ Wide x 58” Long
Screwdriver
1 ¼ Drywall Screws
Washer
WD-40
Razor
Stain
Polyurethane
Rags
Drop Cloth
Mask
Gloves
Goggles
My steel pipes came with stickers on them, so they had to go. I carefully used a razor blade to scrape them off of each one. Then I took a little bit of WD-40 oil and sprayed it onto any spots where the tape residue remained. I wiped it off with a rag and was ready to go.
To make assembly easier, I laid my pipes out on the back of the wooden board in the order that I would be putting them together. Use a drop cloth to protect both your floor or work surface and your wooden board. Since you’ll be placing the wood, which will become your tabletop, facedown on the ground, you want to make sure nothing will damage the surface. Then I put the pieces on the wood, with the 24” pipes and a coupler in the middle and the leg pieces and tee fittings around the outside.
Once my pieces were in place, I started from the middle and worked my way to the outsides of the board. First I screwed my two 24” pipes into the coupler. I screwed them together
