Pine Dining Table Rennovation

I found a traditional style pine dining table by some bins in my local area, the top was badly scuffed and damaged and it had a drawer missing. I carried it home on my pushbike!

I wanted to give it a more modern style, I sanded it down to bare wood, made new square legs for it, built a new drawer for it, squared off the table top edges (they were originally rounded), rubbed in a clear satin varnish with a cloth to bring out the grain and then finished it off with a coat of Briwax, and buffed it up.

Screws and Nails Storage Box

I was fed up with the cheap, plastic storage boxes for storing screws - they always seem to break at the hinges of crack. So I thought I’d build a wooden box to hold them with a section for some tools.

I had some plastic containers which were a good size to hold a decent amount of screws, and I liked the idea of being able to remove them individually.
