While trying to come up with a headline, all I could think of was this: I made my own version of a Restoration Hardware table. You won't believe how much I saved.
On a scale of 0 to 10, my hatred of Upworthy headlines was a 7; I grudgingly admitted that they occasionally piqued my interest. Now, however, it's a 10 because they've infected my brain, and now I can't come up with a non-Upworthy headline.
Anyway, my musings aside, I recently helped a friend complete his outdoor table project. He got two metal sawhorses for free, painted them green, and acquired a slab of 1.25" thick marble. He asked me for a frame of wood around the marble, and this is the finished project:
In the last photo, a branch chandelier is visible above the table. I put together its support bracket, which was frankly one of my favorite projects of recent memory because it forced me to calculate out the forces that would be put on the extended arm.
As you can see, I've worked on a couple projects for this person, and he has an awesome imagination. Working with someone whose imagination is more active than your own is a ton of fun because it makes your work look better. The context of this outdoor tropical living room makes my small contributions look way cooler than they should.
