This was a really fun project. I learned a ton working with concrete and I’ve already started a coffee table and bookcase to match! Materials for this cost around $60.

Wear a mask when sanding concrete. I learned the hard way.

Mold made out of melamine board with siliconed joints

Filled with Quickrete 5000 and wire mesh.

After 3 days I popped the mold and had a ton of bug holes. Next time I need to vibrate the concrete with my sander to settle it further.

Used Portland cement to create a slurry to fill the holes and started sanding….so much sanding.

After sanding sealed with 511 Seal and Enhance. Looking pretty.

Put an initial frame idea together but I didn’t like the angle of the legs. It wasn’t extreme enough so I added 5 degrees to the angle.

Maybe my best mitered joint ever.
