How to Make a Glass Coffee Table
Coffee tables are a great addition to any home, but to really add some luxury, go for a glass coffee table! This article will detail the step-by-step process of making your own glass coffee table.
Materials Needed
- Tempered glass sheet
- Table legs
- Drill, screws, and anchors
- Sandpaper
- Coffee table fittings
- Glassware primer and sealant
Step 1: Choose Your Glass
The first step in making your glass coffee table is choosing the right glass. The best option is to go for tempered glass as it is stronger and is also safer compared to other types of glass. Be sure to measure your table legs and choose the right sheet size.
Step 2: Attach the Legs
Once you have the glass sheet, it’s time to attach the table legs. Make sure to sand down any rough edges on the legs and use drill screws to secure them. Anchors may also be needed for extra stability.
Step 3: Prepare the Glass
Now that the legs are in place, it’s time to prepare the glass. Start by cleaning the glass with glass cleaner and then apply the glass primer. Once that’s done, apply the sealant to the entire surface of the glass.
Step 4: Add the Fittings
Now that the glass is prepared, it’s time to add the table fittings such as the feet and handles. Be sure to attach the fittings with the appropriate screws and anchors to ensure that they are secure.
Step 5: Enjoy Your New Coffee Table!
And there you have it! Your glass coffee table is now ready to be enjoyed. Be sure to periodically check the screws and fittings to ensure that they are still secure.
