For some time now Spun has been asking me to weld a C-table for us. This weekend I finally had the opportunity to do so. With a couple dozen feet of 1/2″ square steel tubing, a gorgeous piece of cambia poplar from Crosscut Hardwoods in SODO, and a bit of some blue epoxy to fill in the board splits and channels made with a router, we were off to the races … or rather couch with this awesome new addition to the living room.

It’s super stable when pulled up flush to the couch and makes for an excellent side table when we don’t have beverages or small plates to share. Based on how well this fusion of wood and steel went I’m thinking I need to replace the gigantic slab of cold rolled steel we have for our current coffee table. Having to move it daily for Kinect exercising is half the work out. Hopefully we’ll get another free weekend to dream up the next addition to the house!
