Tools
Drill & Drill Bits
Sander & Sandpaper

Materials
Live Edge Slab
Hairpin Legs
Dark Walnut Danish Oil
5-Minute Epoxy (optional)
Epoxy Pigment (optional)

For this project, you'll need a slab that is large enough to be your workspace. The slab I chose can fit a laptop, a cup of coffee, and my notebook!

Fill any voids in the slab with epoxy. I chose a 5-minute epoxy project for this because the voids I had in my slab were shallow. Deep slabs will require a deep pour epoxy.

After letting the epoxy cure, sand it flush along with the entire slab. I started with 80 grit and gradually worked to 220 grit.

Once your slab is fully prepped, finish it using a wood finishing product. I chose a medium walnut danish oil for mine.

Last step is to add the hairpin legs! Mine came with all of the hardware required to install. So, I predrilled my holes and added the legs with screws.

That's it! Now you have a new space to work from home on! A simple, and fun weekend project with minimal tools!
