    So nice, I watched it twice. I love the Edward Scissorhands meets Steampunk design of your table! The screw handles and legs are brilliant. 👏
    And I learned this table makes a great coffee table, too.

      lol, the coffee table, yes perhaps I'll make that my next transformation.

    The steampunk term for a specially designed/invented machine would be "engine."

    Always drill a pilot hole first before putting in a big screw to avoid splintering wood. Looks like that screw is too wide diameter for that table leg anyway

      yes I was impatient..I think its good to show mistakes sometimes in these videos and how you can still move forward when you mess up. :)

      @WhitneyLaBrie  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      yeah I think I mention that. I almost took that part out where I make that dumb mistake, but I think sometimes it is good to show that even when you have done this hobby for long periods of time, you can still make mistake, take short cuts and potentially ruin a piece!

    I promise you when I saw the legs split, That looks exactly like something i would do! So the Wood split but i just keep going too! I LOVE THIS! Excellent idea using screws as metal legs! This was GREAT!!!

    • @WhitneyLaBrie
      @WhitneyLaBrie  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I’m often impatient and that is the reason for mistakes like this…lol…but I felt like others like you and I would relate this moment and get it! Mistakes can be both learning experience and happy accidents!

    Well shame on me....at first when you mentioned keeping the zip ties I made a skeptical face, but it took seeing the paint on them to realize your vision, they did add to it! Girl, I shouldn't have doubted you!!
