Electrical Spool Side Tables - step by step

Pin It

I have been wanting to make this table since I spied one in the PB Kids catalog a few months back.

As luck would have it, my friend Jenn was heading north from Raleigh to come to the Brimfield Show, AND her husband just happens to be a commercial electrician, AND she happened to have room in her truck, so... If that's not a sign that I was destined to make this, then I don't know what is!

 Two simple electrical spools

 Made in Mexico

A quick and dirty coat of stain using the leftover stain from my new floors- jacobean and white make a great neutral gray that hides both scratches and dust!

 I was thinking the stain might be a waste since the result was so subtle so I did a side by side comparison. 

I decided it wasn't.

 Add some casters so you don't scratch the heck out of your floors.

 Install some hemp rope with a few finish nails.

White cotton would have be cute too, but I was looking for a natural look.

The finished product! 

Once the second one dries and I have a completed pair, my options for using these are going to be endless. 

THANK YOU JENN and MIKE! 

I LOVE my new tables. (yes, I'm shouting)
