Alu table.

Post by Froll »

Today I made the folding table that I wanted with the left over alu sheeting from the canopy I made. I had some legs from another table that was falling apart. It came out not too bad. It would be cheaper to buy one, if one had to buy everything. It cost me about R450 for the alu angle iron and hindges and some elbow grease.

Might be cheaper to buy one, but the satisfaction of doing it yourself is priceless. Also it was off cuts, what would have done with the metal anyway.

Very very nice.

As i mentioned, it cost me about R450 as I had the alu sheeting off cuts from a canopy that I made for my SFA. Up here it cost me R720 a sheet for the alu.
