Repurposed Industrial Metal Stand Party Table

I'm bringing some curbside love to you today folks.  A good friend found something of interest on the side of the road one day and saved it for me.  I wish I had taken a "before" picture.  Just imagine the metal base of this piece in a layer of rust and uneven feet.

It must have been some sort of mechanical/machine base.  It has a leftover hinge bracket and an electrical outlet panel underneath.  Three of the four feet were shorter than the fourth.  Luckily, they were all the same height and the wood I used on top matched the space perfectly.  So I cut out custom feet for the three short corners.

I sanded down a good bit of the sides and flat surfaces to reintroduce some bare metal to go along with some remaining rust.  I clearcoated the whole piece in the end so it wouldn't rust anymore and to bring out the deep colors of the distressed wood.

I charred the boards, like I've been doing a lot recently.  It definitely brings out the grain and highlights any and all character the wood wants to offer.  Sanding and roughing it up brings back some highlights.

Measurements:  23" tall; 23" wide; 26" deep.
