  • How to make furniture. Diy Portable Fire Feature - Step 1
    Step 1

    First we built a wooden frame with a base attached at the bottom which we painted a medium grey.

    2 - 350 x 70 x 20mm Planks {front and back}
    2 - 250 x 70 x 20mm Planks {sides}
    1 - 350 x 290mm Plank/other {for the base}

    The glass we had cut at a local glass supplier in the following sizes:

    2 - 300 x 200 x 3mm {front and back}
    2 - 250 x 200 x 3mm {sides}

    We used clear Marine Silicone as an adhesive and built a rectangular glass "box" which fitted nicely into the wooden frame we have built

    All we had was a small piece of steel mesh {NOTE: always make double sure you have enough for a project and do not assume - that's more a reminder to myself!}

    So, here we cut and shaped the steel mesh to fit inside the wooden box.
