FireHouse Table Build

Jimmysmill13 · December 16, 2015, 10:50:53 PM

This is a table I have built with a wood \steel combination. The top is a 1 1/4" solid oak, 6" steel Channel, 8" I-beam Legs.

Very glossy finish, I like it. Is it epoxy?

Wow, that is super nice, plus it can be used as a grease rack for the firetruck. :D

Thanks!

It definitely can hold some weight

That is absolutely stunning! How many fireman did it take to carry it in?
Man I would hate to stub my toe on that thing!!

Slicker than a firehouse pole. ;D

That is a great combination of wood and steel. Amazing job.

I love the steel and wood look. Do you have any recommendations on a finish to keep the wire brushed look from rusting? Nice welds too. It looks great with the paint, and I can certainly see why you chose red, but for any other application, I think it would have looked better raw. Great job.

That right there is some nice work. What a beautiful piece of functional gear for the firehouse. Nobody is gonna walk off with it while you are out either. You got more in epoxy costs than my first furniture set after college. :D

samandothers · December 18, 2015, 10:18:25 PM

Did you burn the wood before putting on the epoxy? Looks almost like it was .... well.... torched!

The table is really cool. On some metal projects we have done to keep the metal from rusting but retaining the "raw" look, we have sprayed it with clear lacquer.
