Great video Laurie. I am ordering pipes, flanges and wood now to make a stereo/tv stand with custom openings for my stereo components. Enjoy your new office.
I like you energy. I have an old IKEA book shelf that’s circling the drain. I was going to haul it to the garage and paint it, but it’s not sturdy. I like how you varied the height to surround your window. The gray stain was unexpected but it works in your space and I’ll bet will be a color you’ll like for a long time to come. I’m gonna give it a shot. Thank you.
I get it! Have you checked out Amazon? I recently discovered that they have decorative pipe fittings for a fraction of the cost of the plumbing grade ones!
Hi Earl! I believe this cost me around $350. I think about $80 in lumber and the rest in pipe fittings. I have since discovered that you can buy some decorative pipe fittings at a fraction of the cost on Amazon. If I had to do it again, I would definitely go that route!
I'm so glad you like it! Honestly, I couldn't give you a maximum weight capacity, but there are a few things that I know: 1) The 2x8's are quite strong 2) The rope options have weight limits on them, so when you purchase to your specifications and 3) I drilled the hooks into studs. These 3 things allow for a good amount of weight to be placed on the shelf. Hope this helps!
Love this, thank you. Also love the wooden sofa on your website but you didn't add the instructions. I really want to make that one! I can't work out how the seat is attached to the sides, lol. It's beautiful.
Thank you! I guess I need to get on top of this stuff. I love how the outdoor sofa turned out too! I just used some construction grade L-brackets and 2x4's for the seat and back braces, and a futon mattress with an outdoor cover for the cushion! I would advise that you construct it on site. That thing is a beast to try to move!
It has been awhile since I made this, but I would estimate that it cost around $350. The hardware that I used was from Home Depot and it was actual plumbing pipe fittings. I have since discovered that Amazon carries some decorative hardware that looks just as awesome, but costs much much less! Definitely something to look into!
As soon as you said nipples I really wanted to laugh 😂 but I thought no grow up Jon but then you said it nipples ha 😂 really awesome job I love making new stuff I have loads of new projects to start
Thank you! I used a combination of 3 stains that I recently discovered Sherwin Williams stopped making! Ugh!! I need to reformulate it somehow. Stay tuned!
