Workbench Console Table

Submitted by JSchrageII on Mon, 07/16/2012 - 16:17

This is my version of the workbench console table. The plans were very easy to follow. I used studs for the top of the table, but at least one of them was warped. This left me with a warped top. Therefore, I had to redo the top, ensuring that I had straight studs the second time. I actually laid them all out in the aisle of the hardware store to make sure they were straight. I wish I did this the first time.

The towel rack is just piping and a valve from the hardware store. There's also a bottle opener on the right side.

I was going for a more rustic/industrial feel, so I didn't use a polyurethane.

I used a mahogany stain, and no sealer. I wanted to keep an industrial/rustic look to it with no shine.
