Tuesday Tutorial - Crate to Coffee Table

#1 Get an old crate - mine is from this company "barnstead still and sterilizer" which from best I can tell used to sell medical supplies and parts.

#2 remove old casters that just don't roll anymore.  

#3 Mark where holes for new casters go

#4 Drill Holes

#5Screw in bolt

#6 starting to look like a coffee table but not quite right

#7 Cover Screws - I am using beads because I had them handy but I could have got nuts and bolts etc.

 #8 Tape off the top - and say bye bye to the yuckiness written on the top although I thought about keeping it.

#9 Spray paint with several coats. 

#10 Ta Da!  we have a coffee table. (It doesn't look this dirty in real life it's just these photos)
