+Title: Wine Crate Coffee Table
+Date: 2018-09-12
+Category: Creations
+Summary: A coffee table made out of wooden wine creates.
+Short: 0
+
+My close friend Odai saw a simple coffee table design online that was built out
+of four wooden wine crates. They are quite cheap and available at any hardware
+store. We each wanted to make one so went and bought eight crates and some
+plywood to use as a base.
+
+We went to my local makerspace, Protospace, to build them in the wood shop. We
+thought it would be a quick job only taking a few hours, but it turned out to be
+a twelve hour job over a couple of days. At least we were in good company!
+
+![the table before staining. four box-like wine crates are on their sides and joined together in a spiral. a messy wood shop is in the background]({static}/images/wine/wine1.jpg)
+
+![the two tables after staining. one face is centred and the contrast between the dark stain and light wood grain shows.]({static}/images/wine/wine2.jpg)
+
+The wine crates were glued and then brad-nailed together. Extra wood was added
+under the thin top strips for support. After the glue dried, the brad nails were
+painstakingly removed because the ones we used were too long and stuck out.
+
+After being attached to the base, the entire table was sanded and then stained.
+We let it dry overnight and returned the following day to add a quick layer of
+varnish.
