It only took a few minutes to make this one, but if you wanted to make a whole set it would be a great way to keep your hands busy while watching a Christmas movie with the family.
The big chunky legs are just pieces of roof support that had blown off with a big section of the roof last year..The counter top for the beverage center as well as the skirting around the top came from some of the siding that has been blown off.
Actually, that siding has been used in quite a few projects around here, and also in the homes of a lot of the neighbors.It’s become kind of a community-use barn around here.So we made our plan, gathered our barn wood, and then we got to building!
We had to get this whole project completed in less than a weekend and I would say that, for the most part, a project like this would be considered a pretty reasonable thing to aim to accomplish in a weekend.We built some extra trays, which might be pushing it a bit time-wise for the beginner DIYer, and I would suggest leaving the wood staining part for a separate weekend if it’s not something that you do often, because you want to do a really good job of finishing your work of art.
Overall though, definitely a great project that makes a big impact visually and functionally, with a pretty simple process.. Here’s what we did!.
We started out by putting together a basic frame with four roof-support legs and some two-by-fours.Isn’t it a beauty?
I thought I was a little strange for being so in love with a big pot, but then Kennedy came home from camp and said “Oooo!Did they really give this to you?” So the love of canning must be genetic..
I mixed up my simple recipe and got my canning complete in no time flat..I may have stolen a candy or two along the way….
