D.I.Y. hairpin leg dining table
Overview
Finding the exact size, shape and type of dining table to fit and complement your room can prove to be a difficult task. For a tailored table that fits your space like a glove, opt for the D.I.Y. route. Rock a retro vibe with black, solid steel hairpin legs on varnished pine.
Steps
Prepare the pine panel
Smooth over the top and sides of the pine panel using an orbital sander with 180-grit abrasive disc, rounding over the corners slightly.
Position and secure the legs
Turn the panel upside down. Position a hairpin leg in each corner, with the plates 50mm from the sides, securing with 30mm timber screws.
Seal the top and sides of the table
Wipe away dust with a damp cloth, then seal the top and sides with varnish using a wide brush, leaving to dry thoroughly. Sand lightly with 240-grit, wipe away dust, apply a second coat of varnish and leave to dry.
Tip - Timbers vary by state and territory; contact your local store for further information.

Health & Safety
Please make sure you use all equipment appropriately and safely when following the advice in these D.I.Y. videos. You need to be familiar with how to use equipment safely and follow the instructions that came with the equipment. If you are unsure, you may feel it is safest to consult an expert, such as the manufacturer or an expert Bunnings Team Member.
Grave health hazards are linked to asbestos, which may be in homes built up to 1990. Health hazards may result from exposure to lead-based paints in older materials and copper chromium arsenic (CCA) treated timber. For information on the dangers of asbestos, lead-based paint and CCA treated timber and tips for dealing with these materials contact your local council's Environmental Health Officer.
