My retired fatherinlaw made a tile coffee table for me personally. When I posted it on WeChat Moments, someone actually wanted to buy it!
The self-built house in the village has been built and is now in the decoration stage. Furniture also needs to be purchased slowly. My father-in-law is a carpenter and has retired, but he still can't sit idle. He has tools and materials at home, so he asked him to make a tile coffee table for me. This is the first time I've heard of a tile coffee table. It's really durable when it's made well!
This is the finished product of the tile coffee table. I can show you the production process.
I'm renovating my house, so I have all the tools and stuff.
When cutting wood, you must be careful with these tools. The old ones are outdated and this one is relatively safer.
The countertop is made of tiles, and the frame must of course be made of wood.
There are quite a lot of tools, many of which I can’t even name.
After the bracket is fixed, the countertop is glued on. It is a bit simple and crude, but very convenient. The countertop is a 600*1200 tile.
Install a border around the tiles.
These are the legs of the coffee table, after they have been processed.
The coffee table is almost ready, but my father-in-law says it's not stable enough and needs to continue working on it.
The wooden lines have been reinforced all around, making it much more stable.
The finished coffee table goes really well with the rural mahogany sofa. I posted it on my Moments and someone actually said they wanted to buy it. How much could it be worth?
After some further processing, you will find that there is usually a partition under the coffee table, also called a base, which will make it much more convenient to use.
The semi-finished product of the base, the mortise and tenon structure really tests the craftsmanship.
It looks great after installation, doesn’t it?
It's very thick and durable, and it's painted to a bright and shiny finish.
After using it, it is no worse than the ones sold for one or two thousand yuan outside! If there is such a person at home, he is still very good at design and makes better products than the ones you buy.
