/diy/ - Do It Yourself

i couldn't but this looks horrible. too crude. unless thats on purpose. maybe zoomers think thats a cool design. look at those gaps. so he just cut a few boards and joined them and thats it. done.

Is he finished? He didn't even finish the sides but did the top. The bottom doesn't match either. So no I don't like the table. I get something cheap to get the job done. I'd say solid job if it was at least finished the same. It'll last longer than most cheap tables anyways

>>1851332
It looks like the boards are all horribly bent which causes the gaps.

>>1851331
Legs are so-so okay for the purpose aside from probably not having pads on the bottom to stop the paint from scratching off and the steel from scraping the floor.
The top is so bad I wouldn't even make something like that for my garage. It's not strong enough to make up for the lack of cross supports, god knows how weakly joined it is with the legs, stain is ugly, endgrain is not stained for some reason. For the same purpose and budget, I would've just gotten a thick piece of MDF, maybe install a cross brace and a thinner piece of MDF. Plywood would've been fine too. Alternatively could've gone for the full hipster look and use pipes and pipe fittings for the legs, then the current "hazardous chemicals spilled on the pallet but I made a table out of it anyway" style of the top would fit better.

>>1851331
Good for him

Wish hed planed the cupping out of those boards though.

This is a tv table I made around christmas

>>1851331
Forget about planing, even though he could have still gotten it flat with a hand plane even if it's not level, he didn't even cut the edges straight. A circular saw with a long guide and some planing would have gotten better results than that.

>>1851567
Do you even need to plane it? Just force it flat on the metal bar with bolts.

>>1851331
Looks like fast-grown rough construction lumber.
The wood looks unjointed, just butted up against each other.
Visible marks from lumberyard rough cutting, especially on the middle board (i.e. the planks have not been sanded or planed before staining).
Not stained on the edges.
Warped boards, mounted seemly at random, some are cupped upwards whilst others are cupped downwards.
Boards are all slightly different lengths.

Not a woodworker by the way, just at the peak of "mount stupid" on the Dunning-Kruger curve.

>>1851331
I dont own wood working tools, so nope I couldnt right now... that said I would likely do some gas pipe fittings for a frame and legs. And maybe glue some boards together to make a top and sand it down... I always wanted to do a little work with resin and dye.

but ultimately I would just get some cheap crap from ikea and call it a day.

This table is very nice. Can you post the plans please?

.

>>1851331
yea probably. don't have a jointer, planer, or proper bench with hand planes, so my shits paint grade for now. The trick is to not use fuckin palette lumber

>>1851702
>The trick is to not use fuckin palette lumber

There is a master carpenter on /diy/ making some kind of contraption from palette lumber.

>>1851331
This is horrible

>>1851353
wood is shit, show the welds.

Wtf

>tfw no coppa in your desk

Is there some sort of name for the inverse correlation between the amount of effort someone puts into making a quality product and their pride in that product?
Dunning kruger i guess?

>>1851331
From a practical standpoint I've made better with a sheet 3/4 and 2x4s in the field in about an hour. I'm not going to shit on this guy though, it doesn't look great and I'm questioning how tough it is but I'm sure you can have dinner there just fine.

>>1852520
>I'm not going to shit on this guy though,
He should be shit on, because the nigger posted on reddit as if it's some sort of accomplishment to screw construction lumber together and paint it poorly. Though that's more a condemnation of reddit since they are a bunch of retards who somehow think that's something of praise.

I put more effort into building a ramp to get dogs in the pool that will probably rot in a few years than some faggot who is actually using something as a interior furnishing used by his family. How could you show something like that to your wife or children and not feel ashamed? I hope they wear gloves and long sleeves while eating because the fuck probably didn't even sand it.
Look at the size of that room, and you're telling me the fuck can't pay $100 for something at ikea or something? It's embarrassing.

>>1852542
Considering what I see in the house he definitely had the money to just buy something decent and was definitely baiting. That being said I don't like to trash reddit hipsters for at least trying, he's not going to hurt anyone with that shitty little 30 minute table and if anyone thinks it's well done they're just retarded. I have bigger concerns with home owners almost killing me and themselves with their hacked in "repairs" every day so fuck it, let him make shit tables.

>>1852365
Go away copper desk poster, make your failure desk so we can all laugh at you or stop posting. Should only take like a fucking hour or two.

>>1852552
The people making shitty home repairs and the ones making shitty tables share the same mindset. They do something subpar and simply because they did it themselves, they think it is by default good work. Both lack any self awareness or standards for quality work.
I'm not going to bother to go to reddit or whatever to say someone is a faggot retard, but just trying to do something doesn't' deserve praise.
If some turd worlder shows up on diy with literally nothing and makes a table out of pallet wood and imitation crab meat, at least that can be appreciated for resourcefulness, but this person in some probably yuppie coastie in a $400000 house taking a picture of $40 of construction lumber with a $1200 iphone XXX or whatever.

>>1852557
Pipes and plywood should arrive or 10th of July, so I have nothing to do but shitpost.

I think it would take 20 minutes at most for soldering and cutting, and 20 minutes for making plywood look more shitty

>>1852560
I never said it deserves praise, simply that I wasn't going to shit on him.
>The people making shitty home repairs and the ones making shitty tables share the same mindset.
From my experience not really. A recent customer I had was a fellow 30 yo homeowner redditfag liberal and he liked to build makeshift stuff but left home repairs to professionals (hence why he hired us on two separate instances). He showed no sign of wanting to get involved in that shit because he saw the danger. Meanwhile my customer before him was some boomer who tried to make electrical repairs himself resulting in numerous shocks and crossed up wires, drywall repairs himself which were just absolutely abhorrent and you could push through them with your pinky, he tried to do his own plumbing etc etc but this guy wouldn't ever consider building his own table as he considered stuff like that beneath him.

>>1852568
>I think it would take 20 minutes at most for soldering and cutting
Anon for as much shit as you talked in your thread you seem to not know how long it takes to cut copper. You're looking at about a minute a cut unless you're using some super thin walled shit. The brazing should take at least 30 minutes if you do it all in one go and only because those are easy brazes and you don't actually need to do them properly. Can't believe you won't just run to the store and get that shit right now, I really want to laugh at you.

>>1852568
Best way to spot newfags is underestimating how long shit takes to do.

Hard to say. Legs looks nice, would survive your mom sitting on it 100%.
Table top... It is too shit to look good. And it is too good to look "ye hipster old style made out of junk" A bit of blowtorching could have fixed the top, I think.

I'd say 6/10, because steel legs.
>>1851534
This one is 7/10, average, nothing interesting. Exposed screws make it look like cheap. Should be plenty strong though.
>>1852365
Ultimate meme. Structure might be strong enough (dont listen to fags, soldered joint is way stronger than anything screwed wood, this would compensate for weaker leg material), plywood will ruin everything. You will hate it and you'd change the top 100% in the future.

>>1852582
>solder
Those joints should be brazed and the main problem isn't in the joints, it's in the 3/4 copper piping he wants to use since it is designed to be hand bent. The plywood would be fine with some nice 3/4, I've built hundreds of stands on 3/4 and you can make it look nice and it supports quite a bit of weight.

/>>1852581
>>1852576
This thing took me 30 minutes to make, including my fixing my fuckup, when I soldered hooks wrong way...
>You're looking at about a minute a cut unless you're using some super thin walled shit.
10-30 sec in reality. Also you can cut half-way and snap that piece off.
I have to do like 23 cuts, which is 5 minutes max
> The brazing should take at least 30 minutes
I won't be brazing this... Because I can't braze 3/4 pipe with my torch. I'd solder it with 95/5 solder.
Pipe prep is literally 5 second per fitting, since I've found out that muriatic acid works way better than sand paper. One wipe and clean copper is exposed. (given that pipe would be clean-ish). 5 seconds for flux apply.
Soldering itself - dunno.
Cutting plywood and making it nice-ish is 20 minutes.

>>1851331
Some random dude built a table a table for wife. Looks alright. I could and would do better, but I also must say that my taste is wildly different than OPs pic. The main flaw I see (apart from fugly) is it looks like it would collapse if it was hit or run into from the short side where the unfinished planks are. Got any underneath photos.

>>1852599
And I had selected blurry photo. Fuck.
>>1852576
>. Can't believe you won't just run to the store and get that shit right now, I really want to laugh at you.
Corona man. I've been to the store... They didn't have copper pipes in stock, because every nigger is renovating their shithole atm. Or doing shit out of copper.

>>1852599
>Because I can't braze 3/4 pipe with my torch
I'm honestly curious why you think you can't braze 3/4 short of you only have a mapp. Measuring and cutting took you 30 minutes maybe.
>I have to do like 23 cuts, which is 5 minutes max
You're delusional.

>>1852616
>I'm honestly curious why you think you can't braze 3/4 short of you only have a mapp.
Because I have a butane torch and it kinda on the low power.

>>1852607
Why would anyone put this in their home? Looks awful.

>>1852633
Because I'm tired of fucking chinkshit hangers that rust away in no time. Cheap ones, expensive ones, they all rust. And I'm not paying $150 for nickel-plated brass towel rack, kek.
>Looks awful
Entire thing looks awful.
It would look OK with dark wall, I think.

>>1852644
I never had a problem. You don't have stainless steel in America?

>>1852599
You actually remind me a lot of my last helper, he would always think of things in terms of individual actions instead of thinking about the time it takes to get to the end action. He would literally think a job would be 2 hours that would take days because he only thought of the brazing, sealing, fastening etc and none of the other details like you know, getting all the tools and supplies into place, measures, dry fitting, correcting, etc.

>>1852663
This is not America you would think of...
But yes, we have stainless. Problem is that they say "stainless", but in reality it is some weird alloy that still rusts, just not as horrible as cheapest chrome plated shit.

I think I should try electroplating some tin on that abomination.

>>1852701
>>1852607
>>1852644
all metal rusts anon, it want to return into it's ore form thus the oxidation processes.

I build this 'outside' table and bench with scrap and pallet wood. Stained with leftover deck stain. It's not perfect or really meant to be. Purpose is to kick around outside to put stuff on and for my kid to sit at and draw or whatever. But hell I think it turned out better than op's pic.

>>1852607
These are good with the virus. Copper is great for disinfecting because the ions come off of copper killing shit. Looks fine, maybe would look better with a dark wall which a quick paint job can fix.

>>1852721
Yes, but some metals don't rust at all (silver, gold, platinum), some don't rust badly (lead, aluminium, tin, stainless), copper obviously oxidizes but it protects metal... And there is a fucking iron, which will rust through out if you don't paint it.
>>1852753
Maybe. After all, back in the day people were making door knobs and shit out of copper alloys. Also silver has similar properties. And probably lead with tin...

>>1851534
I wish I had a planner

>>1852568
>should arrive
Lmao just go to the store you goober and buy them.

>>1852936

Thr trouble with present day "stainless" steel is its mostly from chinklund and in order to cut costs they only add the minimum nickel content needed to make it technically stainless even though we all know from observation that this shit rusts in no time.

The legs are right at the edge. You can trip easily.

>>1851331

Aluminium and copper don't corrode (air cons are made this way)
Steel with copper - yes. But zinc - dunno

>>1851331
>tfw I bought my dining room table with 6 chairs and two inserts for $50 at a thrift store, but this nigga can't afford one

I made this from boat yard scrap wood for the cost of wood glue and poly finish. The legs are shit but I still think it's better than what's on OP. Sapele with white oak if you're curious

>>1855007
Galvanic corrosion. Left is the small pieces, top is the main piece. Red indicates acceperated corrosion while green indicates normal or slightly slower corrosion.
In this case aluminum or steel pop rivets into copper pipe will corrode faster in the presence of an electrolyte.

https://www.azom.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=11833
>An example of a difference in the surface area being a big problem is if there is a large metal door bolted to a wall and the door is the cathodic metal and the small bolts are the anodic metal (in the presence of an electrolyte) then there is a far greater galvanic current, and so galvanic corrosion will occur at an accelerated rate.

>Similarly, if using metals which have a large potential difference, galvanic corrosion will occur faster. This would all need to be in an environment where there is an electrolyte present that creates a conductive pathway for electron movement.

>Using Table 1, we can see which metals are unsuitable to couple together. We can expect, using the same example as earlier, that if the door was made from gold, and the bolts from magnesium that the rate of corrosion (of the magnesium) would be incredibly high. If we swapped the materials around, making the bolts from gold and the door from magnesium, the anode would be far bigger, and so the rate of corrosion would be slightly slower.

How difficult would it be to make a table out of a door with a window? similar to pic

I have some old scrap materials and I desperately need a bigger desk. I'm quite horrible at DIY desu but this place have a lot of tools.

>>1851331
table looks weak as fuck.
1/10 would not put anything breakable on

>>1855259
You could turn it into an artsy-ish table, just have the door handle still fixed on it, as well as the doorframe attatched and have it on a stand with no spaces underneath so it looks like a doorway into the underworld.

>>1855163

He clearly only said that because he was mildly aware his table looked like shit and wanted reddit people to pity him and be nice to him.

I mean, look at his place, it's not a cheap one, he has nice furniture all around, not a shitty carpet floor, kid has a tablet.

Did he just have those big metal tube thing just hanging around in one of his closet? He had to buy it.

>>1855322
I can easily imagine this was the motivation behind the whole thing.

>>1855219

I guess this is the reason why you shouldn't twist aluminium and copper wires.

>wife wanted a table we could not afford at the moment

Probably because that whore wanted some bespoke designer table for like $7k. Although that table looks like shit. It’s literally 1x6’s butt jointed, then probably pocket screwed together. And I’m gonna go out on a limb and say he didn’t make those legs himself. Probably functions just fine (after you dig the splinters out of your arms) but I certainly wouldn’t be as proud to post it on Faggit.

2/10 for the effort, tons of room for improvements.

>>1855540
I don't know, to me the comma seemed to imply that they could not afford it in general, not a specific table.

If you're right though, imagine how pissed his will would be. She wanted a nice table and she got this piece of shit instead. Makes me wonder if he'll be posting on r/relationships or something like that soon.

>>1855163

That's how much fagass dealers list it for, not necessarily how much it's worth. Those dipshits frequently slash their prices by 50% to move an item and still make hundreds if not over a thousand dollars on the sale.

>Also, can someone explain to me what the fuck is karma? Is it like the total number of upvotes a user has or something?

Much of reddit stopped being about content or substance long ago, and turned into an online game. You look for threads with a lot of traffic because that's where you get lots of votes. You then agree with the trend, and try to be funny or memeworthy so that your comment gets attention (and votes) so that it moves up higher and gets more votes.

It has been acknowledged for years that many redditors are idiots who upvote anything with a positive score and downvote anything with a negative score, without reading the post or the thread.

Karma is your score: upvotes minus downvotes. So, it turns into a huge circlejerk where most people try desperately to agree with the trend. It's very easy to play the game if you have zero depth of personality or intelligence.

Indeed... it recalls the appearance of human feces.

>>1857848
Spot on. Don't forget putting a "starving artist" spin on it for free reddit plussies.

Pipes arrived. I bet I can do a table in 2 hours (excluding beers)

>>1861500
tick tock tick tock

>>1852644
There’s this funky new material called stainless steel.

>>1861559
I still dont have fittings and plywood, niggers decided to deliver shit in 5 different orders.

>>1861559
>>1861609
Ok, it took me about 1 hour to clean all those fittings (because apparently they thing they can store in moist warehouse), so there is no way I'd to it in 2 hours.

>>1861784
Because pipe is just as oxidized as those were. And it is easier to clean 6 m of pipe, than a table

>>1851331
It's about as good as the piece of shit table i made for my wife

>>1856695
everywhere except my city apparently. not a surprise though, this state manages to disappoint me nearly every hour of everyday

>>1856695
Wrong fucking boomers or retards selling used tool at brand new price, or the price of the new model.
>>1861828

You literally need a I am moving away and need this shit out, or I don't know what this is for poster to get decent price.

2x4s up top look way too warped and I highly doubt the poster thought to inspect them before purchasing. Finishing job looks half assed too. Should've either just painted them white or gone for a more natural looking finish + actually fucking finished the ends.

5/10, I like the minimalist look, don't like the sloppiness.

Ok, this piece of shit doesn't deserve plywood top. It would be better to find, idk how it is called, glued planks with no seam...

It is sturdier than normal table, 100 kg test passed. Though it is not as firm as I though it would be.

>>1862327
Hmmm

>>1862344
fuckin lobster feet gtf outta here

>>1862345
Yes, but before I do this, suggest me top material.

>>1862376
well i dont know what glued planks with no seam are. so uh, what about sanded plywood with some 1x edging?

>>1862376
copper sheets

>>1851331
looks ugly

>>1862384
Idk, I originally wanted plywood, but it looks too cheap (as you warned me)
>>1862395
Nice, but they expensive, and hard to make smooth without press which I dont have.

So I guess I'd keep it like this

>>1862400
What about a sheet of glass?

>>1862401
Sounds like a good idea, but at the same time, glass would crack in no time when I put soldering iron on it. Plus rigidity of this shit isn't good enough for glass, it will break.

>>1862403
>glass would crack in no time when I put soldering iron on it
I didn't realize you were making a work table. Anon's suggestion of plywood with edging might be the way to go. Stain or paint it some colors that you like with the pipe and the room decor.

>>1862412
I think I'd go with exposed edge.

>>1862420
Exposed probably looks cheaper, if that's still a concern.

>>1851331
The fuck is that deck of cards even made out of?

>>1851331
Yes

>>1856964
It's called a basement, we're allowed to have those here.

>>1862425
Ok, I fucked up. It would be aluminium (or copper) angle, because somebody can't saw for fuck.

>>1851702
That's not bad at all m8.

>>1851331
I just finished one, it's janky as shit. Looks alright, but actually terrible.
So no, I couldn't I think.

>>1851331
>look at this shitty thing I made with minimal effort, now give me karma

typical reddit

part of the reason I like /diy/ is because of the insane standards some anons hold for work. I'm proud as fuck of a little bedside table I made that I didn't even realize needed a cross brace and wobbled so I half assed something in the end to stabilize it. I was super proud of it, but if I posted it here you would literally think this shit was made in a class for retards.

>>1864634
post it, retard

>>1864636
:(

>>1864639
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

>>1864639
It's not bad for what it is, and at least you're not at the bottom of the retard class where you can't see what's wrong with it. Fortunately, it'll be easy to kick apart when you lose your job and become homeless and have to burn it for warmth.

>>1851331
never made a table but i suspect the top should be made of separate planks like that.

>>1862400
This shit lacks rigidity... Yet it manages to support 100 kg somehow. R. E. E. E. E.

>>1864639
anon this is rly cute I hope you keep doing diy things and learn and make a really nice table one day :)

>>1864639
Stellar. I believe in you. Keep it up, Anon.
