How to create industrial-modern furniture using a water-heater drip pan
In short: Building custom furniture often feels intimidating, but DIY expert Jenn Largesse demonstrates how to cast a concrete tabletop for under $100 using simple hardware store finds.
Jenn Largesse shares her process for creating a concrete end table designed to pair with deck or patio seating. Despite initial nerves about mixing concrete with woodworking, she found the process more accessible and affordable than anticipated.
The project utilizes a $20 water-heater drip pan as a mold and an 80 lb. bag of concrete countertop mix. To achieve a professional result, Largesse recommends using a release agent to ease the removal of the top from its form, and applying paste wax to the cured surface to create a soft, water-resistant finish.
