Table Top Preparation:
-
Assembly steps:
- Make a trip to Home Depot/Lowes to purchase the parts and materials (1500 SW 8th St Boynton Beach, FL 33426)
- NOTE: Lowes has a a better selection when it comes to getting the specific lengths needed for the pipes
- If cuts are made to get desired lengths, make sure to have both sides threaded
- Return with materials and begin degreasing
- Follow instructions on degreaser to mix parts water and degreaser in a bucket
- Use a rag to dip into the buck and degrease all the parts. Sit them to dry on cardboard when done
- When done degreasing, either clean out bucket of water/degreaser mix and fill with clean water
- Wipe the individual parts again with a new clean rag soaked in clean water
- Set pieces to dry then begin assembly
- Before screwing pieces together, lubricate the threaded parts with the lithium grease and wipe off with a rag.
- NOTE: make sure not to get any on the body of the rods because this will ruin the paint process
- NOTE: Don't screw on pieces too tight because adjustments will be made to keep the table level
- Legs
- End caps connect to 8"
-
- 8" connect to either extreme end of the tee brackets
-
- The Tee other extreme of the Tee bracket is connected to 16"
-
- Flanges are connected to the end of 8"
-
- Middle Support (Refer to image in section 9.iii)
- Middle part of the Tee bracket is connected to 6" facing inwards
- the other end of the 6" is connected to either extreme of a Tee bracket
- Connect the opposing 6" to the opposite extreme of the tee bracket
- The middle part of the Tee brackets connect to the 48"
- After everything is as assembled, measure the lengths of the legs and screw in/unscrew leg parts to make the frame level.
- Place a table top on the frame and use level to make sure everything is in order
- After all this, lay a long enough piece of cardboard outside and place the frame on it for painting
- Apply two coats while letting the frame dry between coats
- Bring frame inside
- Lay a large piece of cardboard down that's long enough to fit the table top
- Lay the table top upside down and place the painted frame on it; flanges touching the bottom of the table top
- center the frame using the measuring tape
- Using a 7/64" drill bit, make a preliminary whole, then introduce the 1 1/4" screws.
- Do not drill too far so you don't breach the other side of the table top
- Do this step for each individual screw because the flanges may move around when the screws are placed.
- Use the power drill to screw in the 1 1/4" until the first time the drill skips, then use a manual phillips head to finish the job because using the drill the entire time may strip the screws
- Flip the table over when done and check for balance. Readjust parts if necessary
-
Step back and marvel at your super awesome sturdy mega industrial but contemporary table!
