6. Washing table for summer cottage. Another great idea is to do a sink. To do this, you need to conduct water to the coil, and cut out places for the tap and sink. These tables are good for washing vegetables and fruits, but you can wash your hands.

Reference! You can make a table for changing baby diapers. The process of changing diapers will be carried out on the surface, and diapers can be stored between the bottom and top.

What tools and materials will be required

Creating such a table requires a minimum of materials and tools:

1. Finished cable reel.
2. Paint and varnish.
3. Solutions for protection against moisture.
4. Decoration elements.

Attention! You can not use the coil in its entirety, but disassemble it by taking only parts. For example, removing one of the surfaces, we can make an interesting table, where the main part will be the stand (on which the cable is wound).

Cable reel table on your own: step by step

As already mentioned, the creation of such a table does not provide for the creation of a project plan or cutting out details. You just need to put the coil. But still there are a few preliminary steps:

1. The place where the table will stand must be cleaned from dust and dirt.
2. It is necessary to polish all the bumps. For this you need sandpaper.
3. It is necessary to cover the table with a special solution to protect it from water.
4. Dents and scratches can be repaired with furniture wax.

But still there are times when you can not do without a project plan and clipping. This is necessary when the base will be used as a stand, and one of the surfaces is cut out. Such tables are created as follows:

1. We carry out all the preparatory steps described above.
2. We remove one of the surfaces.
3. Using a jigsaw, we process the second surface. Initially, its shape will be round. But you can make the surface square or any other shape.
4. We cover the table with paint and varnish.

Making a table from a reel with your own hands is very simple. No need to assemble the structure for details, as is the case with a regular table. Such designs are suitable not only as a home table, but can also be used in the country.
