So my hubby turned 21 (and no, we weren’t married yet…he made me wait another 5 years before putting a ring on this finger!), but I wanted to give him something really special so I decided to make him this end table.
And when I say “make him an end table” – I actually mean I BUILT IT by hand!! My aunt Jane had a wood shop – and was very talented when it came to building stuff, so I spent MANY hours with her in the basement crafting this bad boy!
The tricky part for us wasn’t using the circular saw to make the table legs – or add that extra little craft design around the base BUT trying to find a way that Ross could change his bottle caps as he collected new ones!! We came up with a way that the top of the table could lift off, AND then (this is the awesome part) – you can plug or change out the bottle caps as you wish BECAUSE we used those foam pads (for the bottom of chairs – so they don’t ruin your wood floor) – and it not only holds the bottle caps in place, but also is the perfect size for the bottle cap to fit on!
