Sarah and I have been talking about creating this kind of base for our porch table for a few weeks now so when I had a couple hours and a willing assistant, I just went for it!
The old base was made up of two wooden bookshelves laid on their side. It worked quite well for a few years until they started to mildew. Using the pipes couldn't have been easier.
Basically, it's just a bunch of nipples (Liz thought it was funny that that's what they're called), some tees, and some flanges. I was expecting it to be tricky to get it level but it wasn't at all.
So now we have a nice, modern table base that should last a long, long time.
