There is one project from myย office update that I haven't shown you yet, my industrial DIY Printer Table. ย I needed a place to put my printer and so we created an industrial DIY Printer Cart for the space and I just love it! ย I just love a goodย DIY project! ย And my fun office and Craft Room was one of my favorite projects from last year. ย It has been so fun to have and use and I just love how it has a clean and industrial feel to it.ย  We created this printer table in the same manner that we made my Industrial Rolling Paint Storage here, but we made it bigger and wider and perfect for the space I have and fit the printer. ย We actually built an outdoor beverage cart just like this last year...gosh I must just love this fun industrial style! ย Anyway, this Industrial DIY Printer Cart was a really easy build and I just love how it turned out!

How to make an Industrial DIY Printer Table

I love how fun and easy it is to DIY an industrial look in your home without a lot of time or expense.

And I just really really love how my DIYย printer cart turned out!

cutting 10"wide boards with a table saw to make shelves for printer table

We cut 10" wide boards to the width we wanted the overall printer table to be. ย We cut 6 boards in total to the same length.

Using a Kreg jig and Ryobi Drill to make holes to join two boards together to make shelves for DIY Printer Cart

Making shelves for Printer Table using Ryobi drill to screw 2 10" wide boards together using pocket holes

We used a Kreg Jig to secure two of the 10" boards together. ย So we ended up with 3 sections that would be our shelves.

Using Ryobi Drill to secure 1x3" sides to 3 sides of each shelf for the printer table using pocket holes

We cut 1" x 3" boards to frame the shelves in and we attached them to the sides of the shelves using wood glue, and using pocket holes from the underneath side of the shelf into the frame boards.

Ashley from Simply Designing using an electric sander to sand the shelves down for the printer table

After we were done creating our shelves, we sanded all of them down. ย And then we stained them.

Screwing in angle iron on all 4 corners to join shelves of the printer table together using pre-drilled holes

After the printer table shelves were dry we pre-drilled holes into the angle iron and screwed the shelves in place. ย We used a level to be sure everything was level and perfectly in place.

Using a drill to attach casters to the bottom of the DIY Printer Table

Then we added casters to the bottom of the printer table.

And that's it! ย This is really such a quick build and packs a lot of punch for awesome printer and storage space and it's so fun and stylish too!

    I LOVE this! What color stain did you use? And do you remember the cost of the project overall? I have a Kreg Jig but haven't used it yet, this would be the perfect start!

      I used Cabot's Aged Leather. They don't sell it at my local store anymore so I special order it. ๐Ÿ™ But it is such a pretty stain IMO!

    Hello! Love this project. Did you have to use a special drill bit to pre-drill the holes into the angled iron?

    Reply

      October 06, 2017 at 6:02 pm

      Nothing special. Just a drill but that can go through metal, most should.

    hey I love this but it would be super helpful if you had an outline of what exactly was needed from home depot? Just getting into the DIY woodworking game, I'd love to have an outline of what we need to purchase!

    Thanks!

      I just got some at Home Depot this afternoon, Lowes has it too, but a smaller selection here in SC. I bought 1" by 1" x 72" and cut them in half to make my shelves 36" tall (plus the casters). It can be tricky to find in the store, but just ask anyone where to get angle iron and they'll tell you.

    Hello, After ordering and then returning two printer carts from Amazon, I was looking for another one to purchase. I started to think, "why don't I make my own?" Searching for a DIY project brought me to your page. It's PERFECT!! I can make it to meet my size needs. Thank you so much!
