DIY Crate & Pipe Industrial Table

08/27/14

I’m super excited to be teaming up with all these fabulous ladies on such a fun project! We all bought the same wooden crate from Michaels, and thought it would be cool to see what everyone came up with.

We didn’t really set any rules so anything is fair game! Be sure to check out the gallery at the bottom of this post to visit each blog šŸ™‚ I came up with this DIY Crate & Pipe Industrial Table and I love it!

DIY CRATE & PIPE INDUSTRIAL TABLE

DIY Crate & Pipe Industrial Table

Of course, naturally I wanted to turn my crate into a piece of furniture; but it took me a little while to figure out how. I wanted to just pop some hairpin legs on it and call it a day, but I was turned off by the price. šŸ™  

Crate Before

I thought about how I could make my own, but without being welder, I didn’t see many options. Then I thought about putting dividers in the crate and turning it into a wine storage table. Clearly I didn’t follow through on that.

I did know that I wanted it to have that industrial look so I decided to go with piping. Off to Home Depot I went and god bless the people who work there for putting up with me. I went without having a firm idea of how I was going to structure the base so after staring at all the copper pipes for a solid half hour, I finally asked for some help.

Brainstorming Base

Luckily, Home Depot sells the same wooden crate and I was able to use one as a guinea pig. I told the kind worker my plan and he so very nicely helped me visualize my idea, “assemble” it in the aisle on the floor, and write down all the measurements. Let me just say more than one person walked by with an extremely confused look on their face. Here’s proof:

DIY Crate and Pipe Industrial TableMy original plan was having the base look like that and put the crate on top. Silly me. Terrible idea. It needed way more support. Which I didn’t realize until I got home. So I had to make another trip back to the Depot and bought some more pipes and adjusted the frame.

Measurements of Pipe

MATERIALS


:: 1/2 inch Copper Piping
:: Pipe Cutter (optional)
:: Eight 1/2 inch Copper Tube Straps
:: Two 1/2 inch T Bars (totally made that name up)
::Six 1/2 inch 90° elbows

::Two 1/2 inch 90° Street Elbows
:: Two 1/2 inch Tube Caps (not pictured, fail.)
:: Liquid Nails
:: Spray Paint

Materials for Crate Table

MEASUREMENTS

:: 2 @ 23.5″
:: 1 @ 15″
:: 2 @ 12″
:: 4 @ 8.75″
:: 2 @ 7.5″

You can have someone cut your pipe at Home Depot (which I did when I first went), but when I went back to pick up more I was impatient and didn’t feel like waiting so I bought one instead. It’s super easy to use!

Copper Pipe Cutter

So once I had my frame laid out, I took it apart and applied some Liquid Nails in all the connectors. I wasn’t super impressed with how this glue worked. I let it sit overnight and I was still able to wiggle the pipes around. Since I was securing the pipes to the table with the straps I figured I didn’t need too much extra support, which ended up being fine.

I considered keeping the copper color, but wasn’t really sold on the way it was looking. Enter spray paint.

Spray Paint for Pipe

I used the Hammered paint for the frame, which is AWESOME. If you haven’t tried this stuff, you need to. It gives it such a cool “textured” look. It amazed me. Then I coated it with the Matte Finish. I originally painted the tube straps in the Hammered too, but wanted a little more contrast so I went with the Metallic Fusion for the ones I was using on the top.

Tube Straps

I used four straps on the top and 4 straps on the bottom to secure the crate.

DIY Crate Table

Speaking of the crate…I started out by sanding the inside down. It’s really quite annoying that the outside is smooth and the inside is so rough. I should have sanded more, because rough wood like that is a pain in the buns to stain.

I followed a tutorial from Shannon over at AKA Design & Life for the look on the crate. She used it on this incredible DIY Brickmaker’s Coffee Table. Unreal right?.  I started out using Dark Walnut like she did, followed by the Classic Gray. I’ll tell you right now, adding the Gray over the Dark Walnut did absolutely nothing. I’d skip that step in the future. What really makes this an incredible finish is the white wash.

Whitewash Crate

Mix about a spoonful of white paint with half a cup of water and mix thoroughly. I applied it and then gently wiped it off with a rag. It gives the wood the perfect antiqued look! (The picture really doesn’t do it justice).

I sealed it up with some General Finishes Flat Topcoat and added some L Brackets in the corners just for an extra little touch. šŸ™‚

I’m thinking I want to make another one and use them as our night stands! I really wasn’t sure what this thing was going to look like but I love it. And it will be much easier to make the second one.

I never would have made something like this if I wasn’t a part of this challenge, and I’m so glad I was. I love painting furniture, but I was getting the itch to build something. This was the perfect little project for me.

Do you like what I did with my crate? What would you have done?? Make sure to browse the gallery below and see what all my other bloggy friends made šŸ™‚

Have a great day everyone!

    I think to work with such thin products you need a special saw. To leave neat edges and do not align then 2 days with a sandpaper

You may have given me my weekend project, so thanks for that! And some of the other ones look great too, so I may have a few weekends planned out now. Thanks so much for sharing!

    Industrial style meets shabby-chic. Love it! The finish adds a nice accent for a more vintage look. Have you ever tried a decorative project with wooden wine crates? They give a warm and bright feeling to a modern dƩcor.

We spent a few days this past week at the @thedwel We spent a few days this past week at the @thedwellbox in Amish Country and never wanted to leave! More and more lately we’re realizing the importance of family and nurturing those relationships. This was the perfect place to unwind, reconnect and enjoy an adventure together without worrying about capturing it all on our phones. We went for a hike, sat by the fire, ate wayyy too many pastries and cheeses and loved every minute of it. Sharing a video tour in stories today! If you’re in the area - we highly recommend a stay here!

Oh 2020. While it wasn’t what any of us expected Oh 2020. While it wasn’t what any of us expected I’m focusing on all the good that came out of it. I remember sitting with Dan New Year’s Eve last year and being so hopeful for what our future held and praying it would bring us another baby after we had been trying with no luck. I found out only a couple weeks later I was pregnant and that joy carried us through the year even though it brought fear and worry along with it. Besides welcoming our sweet baby girl into our lives we experienced so many other amazing things. The time we got to spend as a family is something we’ll always cherish. We worked on so many projects together and continued to pour our hearts into making this house a place we can call home. And we built A LOT of arches 🤣 Eloise was on the cover of a magazine, Hawk’s hair grew back in full force, we beat Covid and captain Christmas reminded us what the holiday season is really about.  but most importantly we leaned into god and relied on him more than ever to get us through each day. That’s the relationship I want to continue to work on and I’m grateful that this year nudged me closer to the One who deserves all the glory and continues to be faithful šŸ™šŸ» happy new year friends šŸ¤ cheers to 2021 šŸ¾

Which view do you prefer? 🤪 we compromise every Which view do you prefer? 🤪 we compromise every year: Dan and his dad get their giant artificial tree with colored blinking lights, handmade ornaments (and this year, tinsel) and I get my real tree with white lights and neutral ornaments. If you’ve been following all the Captain Christmas adventures on my stories you know I let Dan go all out and he hung tinsel garland and colored lights ALL over our house. I decorated a few small areas but I was getting SO unnecessarily stressed thinking about decorating our entire home and creating perfect content for you guys. So I said F it and it felt SO good. And it brought so much joy to him and the kids. And for that, it was worth it šŸ™ŒšŸ» there’s nothing wrong with a beautifully styled Instagram worthy home but this time of year should be a reminder of the things that truly matter in life - and I don’t want to miss out on them. However you decorate for christmas I hope you can find joy in it šŸ™ŒšŸ» and maybe let go of those picture perfect expectations a little šŸ˜‰ captain Christmas stories are saved in a highlight! šŸŽ„#2020 #breinspired #ohchristmastree
