homemade coffee table

Saw something this on Pinterest so I decided to do something like it myself.
bought 2 regular crates and 2 with drawers at Joann's for $11 and $15 but used 4 coupons for 50% off each (yeah me!).

March 8

painted it using an old technique using vinegar and steel wool ~let it sit for a few days before using in a glass jar.  It's not toxic, but it will smell like vinegar so I painted it outside on the deck.

 color of stain darkens as time go by, when you start it doesn't look like any thing.

 let it dry for a few hours before gluing it together.

 you're going to need weights to hold it down so it will stick together.
