DIY Project: Upcycled Garden Table & Chairs Which Saved Us £100s! 😊

hi everyone it's Janette here enthusiastic Gardener I'm here in my garden in my dressing gown at the end of a Sunday evening because we have finished the chairs and the table and it's all here and we're sitting out at the end of the day with all the lights on because it's just so beautiful we um have finished the chairs it's taken about 3 weeks of different stages and taking it slow and Richard has done a fantastic job so I'm going to hand over to Richard now and you can see how he's made the chairs and we'll show them to you at the end and we are very happy hope you enjoy today's video okay lovely sunny morning so instead of resting like one should be I'm going to start on the chairs um they need to be sanded down and cleansed and then SP black on these ones here I've got get the angle going that and cut all these nuts off and start again and you can see we have some strange things hanging on the line these are the slats which are going to be the part that you sit on and they're hanging on the line because he painted them with varnish and so now they're dry in and we're going to leave those wooden slats hanging all night because it's been such a beautiful day we're not expecting any rain all the chairs have been spray painted the chair ends so that's good they're all done and we have the wood coming in for the the seats here's some of the wood which has been cut to size and varnished and which has just brought the other wood that's it ready for the next stage and what a lovely morning right this is another stage towards getting the chairs sorted out and I've got my assistant this morning yes who's came out this morning dressed exactly like me let me show you we always seem to have the same colors on don't we I could come home from a day at work and then we look at each other we both got like black and white stripes for example which was the other day wasn't it so this isn't team colors right next lot of Timber I need to cut them down to this W yep then once I've done that then I will drill the holes yeah ready for the nuts and bolts cuz I all did the V size yep but they're they're coming on Wednesday or Thursday so by then this will be cut up drilled and varnished ready now because I've got an assistance this morning I going to keep them banded together leveled up and un cut six pieces at one time so that'll speed it up [Music] [Music] [Music] but what I'm doing now is ding the holes this is one from the first batch so I'm just using that as a template the bottom one isn't it's a spare bit of Timber the reason you have a bit of Timber underneath so that it doesn't spray split all the do spray out yes [Music] [Music] see it's a nice clean hole two another two line up the ends come through yeah come through there fabulous another 20 to go I've cut all slats to the requireed width now on the chair over there the last two slats CES on the curve what I need to do on these ones is just take the take the edge off just to round them out a bit [Applause] ni Smo that's lovely that's just taking the edge off so that doesn't graze her naked legs it's a week later we are nearly there everyone we're at the final hurdle you can see see these are the second batch of slats which are have been varnished and drying on my cloth horse you can see the holes all the way along this is the inside of the chair arm so there are already holes there very self-explanatory we have the holes at the correct places and then we have these screws these screws go through and then backs of the screws go on the back and then tighten it up um with one of these by hand and then finally um just tighten them with the drill [Music] [Music] [Music] I could not be more delighted with my new table and chairs it was well worth the wait Richard has done a fantastic job I think you'll agree I think it looks wonderful [Music] n [Music] [Music] and what a great find this was on Facebook Marketplace this is the table and we ordered the glass which is quite thick I think you can see I absolutely I love it I don't know which chair to sit in well the job is complete I'm standing here in my dressing G that's how nice at evening it is U yes eventually got the job done and I'm very pleased with the outcome and Janet is happy so if Janet is Happy everybody's happy I hope you enjoyed today's video which has actually taken us about 3 weeks to film in total with all the different stages unfortunately there are no links to anything that you'd be able to buy they're all reclaimed and repurposed things the chair legs were from battlesbridge our local antiques Center the table was from Facebook Marketplace we did buy the glass top from a shop on eBay we bought the spray paint the black spray paint from Amazon we already had the varnish for the wood we bought the nuts and bolts from Amazon but we're very pleased I did put the price on the video of the cost that everything was so much cheaper than buying new well we're delighted anyway and thank you for watching I hope you're all having fun in your Gardens it's almost summer well June the 21st I believe so I hope you're all having a great week in your Gardens
