Again, I coated a larger (table-sized) spool with polyurethane. Two coats. Once dry -- remember the TT123 sniff test (see FAMILY RULES spool table), I glued on a poker table topper. You can find these online for around $20.
I glued the above poker table on using Elmer's Glue All Max.
Once I had placed the poker table top on the glue, I placed weights on top of everything and let it set for 48 hours. After 48 hours, I had an instant poker table and a cherished Christmas gift for dad!
That is a great idea! I never would have thought of taking an electric spool and adding a poker table top as a gift! Way to be creative!
ReplyDeleteI've seen spools turned into rustic garden coffee tables and other flat top furniture, but I've never seen it done this way. This is definitely a cheaper alternative than starting from scratch with buying pieces of wood and building up from there. But I do have some other Ideas in mind if ever I'm going to try replicating this one out, like sewing of the edges or applying paint/varnish to the spool.
