Completed in about 3 days for just under £60. I was asked by my housemates to make a ping pong table.
All timber for the frame was reclaimed from an old shipping crate which I tore apart, cut to size and then sanded down. For the top I used two sheets of 18mm MDF, which I carefully primed, painted and varnished.
Although on a budget, I wanted to make the table as strong and durable as possible, as the reality is that students aren't known for looking after things.
