Coffee Table (Reclaimed Torrazzo, Fence post, Nails, 2x4)






The coffee table was a tough fit. The Torrazzo is really heavy and not a perfect square like I was hoping. This table is actually the second attempt. The first one was a really beautiful piece with lots of brighter color glass. I thought the table was looking beautiful. However when I returned home for work I found the torrazzo on the ground shattered into many pieces. Nails did not hold up. This one is held together with screws.There is a piece of plywood underneath the Torrazzo screwed to the fence wood. Because the base was already standing we just forced the new piece of torrazzo into the old frame with a lot of brute force. The hubs and a hammer were crucial. :)
