  • Using my old earthquake coffee table which has lived in front my my couch for the last 8 years I created this new lift top coffee table. It utilizes a pair of lift top brackets, which were purchased for a small amount online, to lift the top up and forwards to act as a surface to eat or do other things off of. This design allows for storage of blankets inside the table which is something we always love having near the couch.

    That creaking sound would make me go crazy. It is still a very good looking and useful table. Good work!

    Never would have thought spackling the MDF edge to make it smooth after paint. My move would have definitely been decorative trim to cover it. Turned out great. I need to make more painted projects.

    Lol, safety sandals shot & subtitled, saves me from watching twice.. Drywall spackle works only if paint enamel is strong, I still prefer using bondo instead if project gets painted. Keep the videos coming, great job.

  • @JasonLatta
    @JasonLatta 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Consider adding a little more weight to the top by screwing another board in the center underneath or adding some other weight to overcome the soft-shut things. Maybe more weight would help with the noise.

    Calling those brackets BAD BOYS is an understatement. They're probably the WORST designed brackets on the market with the pistons right in line with drilling for screws into the top. The C shaped bracket is 10 x's better

    I think sparing the baby was a good choice. Besides, if you get sick of him for a while he will fit in there until you're ready to deal with him again. Nice project.

    Nice work, but for the safety factor of the redesign -- the scissoring action of those hinges is way more dangerous than the pinching old table.

    I actually loved it, especially the beginning about baby hehehe, but disliked it just to get your attention cuz I bought some of these things and am curious what keep the in the down position. Is it just the weight of the top? As is they don’t stay down at all...can you help me please then I will change my like if you care about the perfect score...even if you don’t I will change it soon .. you can a baby they poop a lot

    • @DIYBuilds
      @DIYBuilds  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes the weight of the top but you also have to make sure you install them correctly so they are fully folded when down.
