mike39 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 (edited) This isn't so much of a guide as it is a 'heads up.' I don't have any particular skills with craft-making, but with a bit of patience (maybe 30 minutes?), you can make a small table! With a bit more patience, you could make ... a larger table! The possibilities are endless - the larger the box, the larger but more flimsy. The smaller the boxes, the more stable but time consuming. I've used two small boxes for this project. I sealed them, placed two zip-lock bags of water (also duct-taped, so that they may never leak) in the bottom box for weight / support, taped the boxes together, and then applied aluminum foil and taped the edges. Voila! A nice, sturdy table next to my bed and it didn't cost me a penny. I guess this only works if you have boxes, aluminum foil, and duct tape laying around - but anyone who doesn't should get their balls checked because these items are necessary for manhood.

mike39 Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 I should note, at least for those who are sure to ask, why I'm "too cheap" to buy real furniture. I just moved to Gainesville, FL temporarily to hang out with my girlfriend and lounge around in the sun. We're moving in July and I don't see the point in buying tons of furniture just to sell it again - so I've been making a lot of it (my bed, tables, etc) out of boxes and other things laying around.

Girish Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 The bed looks comfy. How did you make it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cursed Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I believe it is a FedEx bed, he made a tutorial about it a while back. Basically you request free boxes from Fedex, then build them into a bed shape, add a mattress and headboard and you have a bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just put a sheet over the bubble wrap they use for shipping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asimov Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 That's the worst table I have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanzant Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I saw this Video of an Alcoholic making Chairs and a Futon out of empty Old Milwaukee cans. There was also a guy who covered His entire wall of His bedroom with those Wal-Mart Gift cards. As far as me being creative, I could possible create a Table out of Love letters from your Mother.
