I built a table for my sweet attic.
I naturally required the table to be as sweet as the room it is in, so I made it a cool, low-slung modern table.

Behold!

I built it out of 3/4" MDF, and 1_1/4" steel piping.




(Ignore my hand modeling)


I painted it and sanded and used over 15 cans of various spray paints to get it kinda like I wanted, then I rubbed and rubbed some wax on the table top until it was shinny. It gave the table a very cool distressed look to it. It is also smooth as crazy, and waterproof!

I finally assembled it in my attic.





It is very shiny!



How does it look? Pictures don't do it justice... I think the total cost was around $130 finished.
