Black & Decker Readymade Home Furniture [EPUB ebook] 
Easy Building Projects Made from Off-the-Shelf Items

You might not think it, but home stores carry all the furniture you’d find in a show room; it’s just not assembled yet. Black & Decker Readymade Home Furniture shows you how.

You can find just about any furnishing imaginable in the aisles of the home goods store—coffee tables,  wine racks,  chandeliers—with just a little assembly (and creativity) required. In
Black & Decker Readymade Home Furniture, you will learn how to
re-imagine the big-box building center as a source for stylish, customized home furnishings that are i
nexpensive and easy to make yourself .

Metal connectors, pipes and ductwork, rope, sheet goods, glass, and all varieties of hardware are just a few of the ingredients you can shop for to turn yourself into a furniture maker—
without the need to buy a lot of woodworking tools and learn complicated joinery .

Inside this book, you will find a wealth of insightful information on how to
convert everyday building materials into fine furnishings , along with 24 projects,  complete with instructions to get you started. Unique and custom styles and colors, durability (select the quality materials you want), low cost, and a sense of satisfaction are just a few of the benefits you will experience by
doing your furniture shopping at your home center or hardware store.

A few of the demonstration projects included in
Black & Decker Readymade Home Furniture are:

• Shoe rack from concrete forming tubes


• Copper pipe tubing pot rack


• Nuts-and-bolt candle holder


• Door desk made with axe handle legs


• Modern media center from angle iron and melamine board


• Door handle coat rack


• Ductwork coffee table


• Bagged concrete planters


• Faux rock and pump waterfall

Grab your tools, because it’s time to get creative! One trip to the home center will save you a dozen to the furniture showroom; not to mention time, money, and having to deal with salesmen.
