Here's a little story about a table that wanted to become a disc golf rack.
I started out cleaning up the clutter in my small garage:
Then I decided to put my PA and cabinets that were just sitting around doing nothing to use, so I bought a TV and wfi extender and hooked it all up. Now I can get any stream, music, etc. in my little man-cave. Yay!:
But what to do with all those discs? Hmmmm...
Aha! I have an old coffee table that was basically flattened by my friend when he 'helped' me move years ago. This thing was literally flat after he tripped on a step and fell, all 250 lbs of him, directly on top of it. I had put it back together with some wood screws, but it's always been kinda rickety:
Ok, so let's get to work. Step 1 is planning it all out with some measuring to make sure the discs will seat properly between the board and the dowel rod. Lots of dry fitting and adjusting until I got it right and drew it all up:
Then, drill some holes...
...and put it all together:
Hmmm... that sagging just isn't right. If I'd have used 1/2" steel rods it would have been fine, but I'm too far into it now to start over.
What do I do now?
