We're in our "repurposing" unit and learning how to make a table out of encyclopedias. Many of us haven't heard of encyclopedias, only wikipedia and this is a way to make these books useful again! The goal is to use the encyclopedias as a column to support the round table top. We drilled a larger hole in each book with huge wood drill bits and the vaccuum to clean up saw dust. Last week we sanded the covers and stacked the books on the metal rod to support the table 'leg'. We used wood glue and hot glue. We're not done yet, but we're close! We still need to paint and attach the table top. More photos to come!
