Home Decor and DIY: DIY Twisty Side Table

DIY Twisty Side Table

Need a new side table? How about one that is totally twisted? No, like seriously twisted?

You've got to check this one out!

I had seen several DIY Bloggers post about a "One Board Challenge." You could only use a 1x8x8ft board for the lumber, but you could make anything you wanted. I told me husband that "I am totally doing this!"

I thought for weeks about what to build, and finally decided on a "twisty table."

Full details on the build can be found on the blog link.

First I cut two pieces to use as the "legs." I made a jig to help me cut them at the right angle.

I measured multiple times to get the jig and the table saw set up right. This was tedious. There may have been an easier way to do this haha! I ran the boards through the table saw using the jig.

Then I lined everything up and measured how long I needed the tops and bottom to be. I put these on after everything was lined up and fitted together right.

I stained the table and brought it inside. I was afraid it was going to be too tall, but it is just about perfect height for beside my chair. By the way, I bought this chair at "trade day" a few years ago and recovered it. I have had so many people try to buy it from me, but it's my favorite, so I am keeping it :)
