Reclaimed Scaffold Board Rustic Simple Wood Bench with Steel Box Section Legs

Product Information

To start things off you’ll need to source your materials. You’ll need scaffold boards for the table and bench top whilst for the legs you’ll need some welding knowledge or know someone who can make these for you. I don’t make the legs myself but read on to see where you can find some. Step 1. Sourcing materials You might not always find the perfect colour match filler but this is fine and adds to the character of the piece.

A final round of sanding with a 240 grit is now advised. This will give a super smooth finish to your table top and prepare for a stain and oil to be applied. Step 8. Finishing your rustic scaffold board table and benchWe also work on a range of other beautiful original items, from solid wood coffee tables and chairs, to restored tables fit for a boardroom, restaurant or a large family space. We make sure each item is restored to the highest standard and remains true to its original style. The scaffold board bench will use the same boards but they are going to be too wide by joining two together. We want the bench top to be about 360mm wide, therefore each board needs to be ripped down to 180mm wide. To do this I use my trusty table saw. Now it’s time to fit the legs to the scaffold board table top. This should be straight forwards by simply lining up your desired location and screwing in with a drill-driver or impact driver. To choose your leg location you will need to consider the width of your chairs and if you wish to seat people at either end. To allow enough leg room at either end of the table I tend to mount the legs about 28cm in. Working with Q Clamp products means your metal work bench is incredibly robust, versatile, cost effective and easy to install. Each of our kits is made from 33.7mm galvanised tube with clamps, a scaffold board top and shelving. If you’re looking for a less rustic finish on your dining table then you could consider using a different type of wood. For example, I have also made amazing dining tables and desks from American white oak and walnut. The finish is cleaner as they are made from hardwood, and will be much more durable than a scaffold board table. Here are a couple of my projects.

If you are building a scaffold board table for your garden then I’d still recommend keeping it under cover for the winter months. Invest in a cover or take the time to put it into storage so that is isn’t left out in the elements all year round. Is scaffold board furniture any good? Supporting the 4 boards might now be required with a strip of wood underneath at each end. I normally use the off-cuts from the bench and cut at a 50 degree angle which span from side to side. This isn’t always necessary but can add a bit of strength to your table top. example support piece The galvanising is important as it means your metalwork has been dipped in zinc to provide a layer of protection against corrosion. As well as weather resistance, this process will also help fortify your scaffold board workbench in busy or abrasive environments – like a workshop, garage or bustling kitchen.
