Our pieces are designed to be fully functional as desktops, tables etc with smooth and level surfaces. Due to the repurposed nature of the scaffold boards we use, we do have to allow for slight tolerances of a mm or two, and there can occasionally be minor kinks or bends in areas of the boards, but nothing that would compromise the stability or functionality of the items we produce. We also work on a range of other beautiful original items, from solid wood coffee tables and chairs, to restored tables fit for a boardroom, restaurant or a large family space. We make sure each item is restored to the highest standard and remains true to its original style. If you’re looking to get creative with your scaffold boards, you can combine them with our galvanised tubeand clamp fittings to create a range of home DIY products.

Main images show the medium finish but also available in dark or light finish. (And other options are available on request, so please just ask). For this part you’re going to need some large sash clamps, a biscuit jointer, some biscuits and some wood glue. Start by marking up your wood for the biscuit jointer. To do this I normally lay all the boards out flat and line them up neatly next to each other, then mark with a pencil 120mm in from each end where the boards join. Then another pencil mark half way down between each board. Making furniture from any kind of reclaimed material is always a risky business. When it comes to scaffold boards you really need to select decent boards for your projects. Some reclaimed scaffold boards are too far gone to be able to use in your furniture projects. In an ideal situation, you will select boards that have been stored in a dry location and don’t have any bends or twists in them. You can simply look down the length of a board to see how straight it is.A final round of sanding with a 240 grit is now advised. This will give a super smooth finish to your table top and prepare for a stain and oil to be applied. Step 8. Finishing your rustic scaffold board table and bench Scaffold boards can also be used for raising heavy objects, external cladding and insulation walls. Scaffold boards can vary by +/-5mm when cut due to the width of the saw blade, so please be aware of this when providing any cutting instructions.

We machine sand the boards to a beautifully smooth finish, and they’re treated with a high quality hard wax oil which brings out all of their stunning, quirky character. So that’s pretty much it. You can see how easy it is to make a beautiful functioning table thats eco friendly and long lasting. Conclusion Here at Wings we use a Festool Domino jointing machine to ensure all our scaffolding board joints are seamless and flat, this ensures you don’t get any wobbly bumpy surfaces. Once complete, line the boards up to ensure a good fit together and plane/sand the edges if required. Step 6. The joining process To start things off you’ll need to source your materials. You’ll need scaffold boards for the table and bench top whilst for the legs you’ll need some welding knowledge or know someone who can make these for you. I don’t make the legs myself but read on to see where you can find some. Step 1. Sourcing materialsIf you’re looking for a less rustic finish on your dining table then you could consider using a different type of wood. For example, I have also made amazing dining tables and desks from American white oak and walnut. The finish is cleaner as they are made from hardwood, and will be much more durable than a scaffold board table. Here are a couple of my projects. Mid-century walnut desk by Wood Create American White Oak table by Wood Create Western regions of Wales, Northern Scotland & Highlands deliveries may incur additional charges and/or longer lead times, please get in touch for more info).

I’ve recently collected some Iroko wood from Wood Shop Direct for my next project. Using this company has helped me simplify the build massively as they cut everything to size. This takes away a lot of time and effort from me so I can stay focused on the build and overall design. Save money on your scaffold board table project If you’d prefer to work with hardwood or another type of timber then try Wood Shop Direct as they will cut everything to size and deliver it to your door. Again, it’s more expensive but it takes away all the pain of sourcing, planning and cutting your timber. And it looks amazing. Step 2. Scaffold board moisture levels As well as being good solid sturdy timber, scaffolding boards are very cheap. Especially old scaffolding boards, which can often be bought very cheaply and sometimes are even given away free by builders. Personally, I prefer to reclaim old boards for my scaffolding board furniture DIYs, as this only adds to their rustic aesthetic.
