How I have made my bed table out of 1″x2/8″ beading – DIY woodworking India
Welcome back friends! Everyone knows that a small bed table is probably one of the mostly used furniture now-a-days. When I operate my laptop in bed, I always keep it on it. Then take bed tea, reading a book etc etc. It is really useful!
I have built one for us, out of 1″ x 2/8” wood beadings which I got from a wood mill. Price was INR 3/sqft. I had enough wood for INR 100, delighted!
Here goes the plan.
Attach the beadings as shown in the picture by fevicol WRA or any suitable adhesive available for wood. In the edges, fix two beadings for holding it and for extra strength. You can use screws or fevicol for fixing these. Once done, keep them for drying so that joints become strong.
For the legs, fix two pieces of 1 feet with adhesive. Once dried, make groove of 1”x1/4” as shown above. Make another 3 units similarly.
Join 2 legs as shown above 1.5 ft apart. Join other pair as well.
Just forgot to add, make another grove in the leg as shown in the picture. Repeat the same for all the four legs.
Now fix the side beadings as shown below. Repeat the same for the other pair of legs.
Once all the parts are assembled, it looks like below.
Now join the leg part and the top part by L bracket as shown below.
This is how I have built the table. Comment if you have any doubt.
Thanks for visiting DIY woodworking India. I will post the pictures of the real table.
Just found the old photographs of the table. Hence posting the same.
