Farm machinery/ fall harvest in action.
The front pieces are just 1×4 boards cut to 34″ long with little 45 degree triangles notched out of the ends on both sides..5 minutes later and you have all your pieces cut!.
Attach the front apron pieces to the top with some wood glue and nails, then flip the whole thing over.. Chris cut these little triangles out of some scrap wood and used those along with some wood glue and nails to attach the leg pieces on.If you’re not as confident with a saw as he is, I’d suggest just grabbing a few basic metal brackets while you’re at the hardware store buying your wood.. Something like this:.Let all your wood glue dry and you’re ready to go!.
I finished mine by using some dark wood stain and a few different colors of paint to make it look like it’s really been around.I used a screw driver to really scratch it up good as well.
You can see the cats have been helping me rough it up over the years too by scratching at the legs.
I’ll just add a little more dark stain there and it will look even better!.If you squint really hard, it kinda looks like we have a really cool room here.
We don’t of course, but now we have a cool wall at least!.The plan is to do some built-in shelving over top and have the brick visible as the back of the shelves, but who knows when that’ll happen.
Chris asked me to paint all that unfinished wood framing just so it would look a little more finished until then..Naturally I just did, like, one five-foot section so now it looks even worse..
