How To: Industrial Sofa Table

Hey everyone and welcome to the latest installment of Rustic DIY Projects!  A few weeks back I had some empty space behind my couch that's been bugging me so I decided I would make something nice and useful to fill it up. After some brainstorming I came to the conclusion that the most practical use of this empty space would be to fill it with a sofa table. Now I've never made a sofa table before but after glancing over at my coffee table literally four feet away I figured I may as well go with an industrial style table to match it. I also wanted to incorporate a somewhat natural feel and appearance to it so I bought a slab of scrap mesquite for the table top. After a bit of work and some help from my dad this is what I got. Hope you enjoy this week's project, an industrial sofa table made with some mesquite and 3/4 inch galvanized piping! Photos courtesy of my friend with great photography skills, Iris Marquez! 

How To: LED Wall Tree

Hey everyone hope you're all having a good week and welcome back to Rustic DIY Projects! This week I tried out something a little different. Recently I've been wanting to incorporate more ambient lighting and practicality into my projects and came up with this gem of an idea. The concept of this changed several times throughout the process of building it so things got a little sloppy at some points and there was definitely a great deal of trial and error involved but luckily I was able to salvage this piece from my mistakes and I'm happy with the end result. Hope you all enjoy it!
