DIY // Pipe Table

My husband and I recently made our own exposed closet out of galvanized pipes, planks of wood and pieces from IKEA’s Stolmen collection. After we had built our closet and were incredibly pleased we brainstormed other projects that would utilize pipes such as bookshelves and tables.

The oddly shaped nook we currently use as a makeshift office desperately needed a new desk we looked and looked everywhere, but no one made a desk even close to the proper size. Then we remembered the idea we had several months ago. After taking all the proper measurements we were off to the hardware store to buy some pipe.

Here’s what we got:

Fittings

6 // Flanges

6 // Threaded Tees

4 // Caps

Pipes

6 // 1/2 x 12"

1 // 1/2 x 30"

4 // 1/2 x 18"

2 // 1/2 x  5"

Tips:

Start building the table left to right. Because of the direction the pipes are threaded you cannot build the legs separably. 

   

Wait to place the cap on until the last and adjust them to the proper height to make your table level.
