How to build your own engine coffee table

(March 26, 2016) Gergely Bajzáth has made a good number of engine coffee tables, and constantly enjoys positive feedback and comments about his work. Now, in "How to Build your own Engine Coffee Table," he has decided to share his methods and tips with you, so that you can make one of your own.

Bajzáth, who works as a steel fabricator in the United Kingdom, says that whether in your living room, workshop, den, man cave, or girl shed, an engine coffee table is a great talking point, and is almost guaranteed to become the main topic of conversation when friends visit.

This book shows you everything you need to know to create your own furniture centerpiece. From the best choice of engine base, to instructions on design and fabrication for appearance and safety. Hand painted finishes are covered, and a dedicated section shows how to safely plan, prepare, and fit a glass top for a serviceable, and safe, end result.

Bajzáth's book will help you choose the best engine, paint and glasswork; shows options for different finishes; explains best practices to make the work better, lighter and safe; explains why no special tools are required; and no professional skills are required.

You’ll probably know that you want one of these tables as soon as you see the examples in the book!
