Nice!
You do lots of this?
Not at all. This was my first attempt!
Definitely learned a few things and would do a few things differently if I do any more, but a great and fun experience.

Everything in that shot is nicer than everything in my home. I particularly like the look of the legs.
Yeah, I wanted to go with wider planks but they didn't have any available so I just went with what was around (I should have waited, I think it would have turned out slightly better, although I'm not disappointed).

Dude that looks badass, what did you make it of? 1" or 1 1/2" black iron looks like? I'm curious how you did the mounting as well I assume just a plate with 4 holes or something for bolts but then that wouldn't support the middle plank.
I might have to copy it though one day cause I think it's awesome! Good one!

Thanks for the praise Ghost, it's actually pretty easy.
I just picked up the plumbing pieces from Home depot, you could use whatever size you want, although I like the size I chose (1"). I'm also using cedar for the wood. I think if I made it again I'd do two pieces instead of four, but we were impatient and didn't want to wait. I might also spend a bit more and go somewhere that would have better quality cuts (would reduce sanding time etc...)
To fasten the table I have pocket screws and also have metal plates underneath the table. For attaching the table and the legs, I have four flanges (same as the ones touching the floor) with four screws in them.

Thanks!
I used a Varathane wood sealer. Not sure if there is something better out there. Might have been about ten coats =p
As I mentioned, I think it would look better with one or two pieces instead of four.
