How to Apply Edging to Round Table Tops120

Edging is an important part of any furniture piece, and it can really make or break the look of a round table. If you're looking for a way to give your round table a more finished look, applying edging is a great option. Here's how to do it:

Materials You'll Need:* Round table top
* Edging material (e.g., wood, PVC, metal)
* Wood glue
* Clamps
* Miter saw or coping saw
* Sandpaper
* Finishing nails or brad nails (optional)

Step 1: Measure and Cut the Edging

Start by measuring the circumference of your round table top. Once you have the measurement, cut the edging material to the same length. You can use a miter saw or a coping saw to make the cuts.

Step 2: Apply Wood Glue to the Edging

Apply a thin layer of wood glue to the back of the edging material. Make sure to spread the glue evenly over the entire surface.

Step 3: Attach the Edging to the Table Top

Carefully align the edging material with the edge of the table top. Press down on the edging to secure it in place. You may need to use clamps to hold the edging in place while the glue dries.

Step 4: Sand the Edging

Once the glue has dried, you can sand the edging to smooth out any rough edges. Be careful not to sand too much, as you don't want to damage the edging.

Step 5: Secure the Edging (Optional)

If you want to make sure the edging is extra secure, you can use finishing nails or brad nails to attach it to the table top. Drive the nails through the edging and into the table top. Be careful not to drive the nails in too far, as you don't want to damage the table top.

Tips:* If you're using wood edging, you can stain or paint it to match the table top.
* You can also use different types of edging material to create different looks. For example, you could use a metal edging for a more modern look or a wood edging for a more traditional look.
* Be sure to measure the circumference of the table top carefully before cutting the edging material. If the edging is too short, it will not fit properly.
* If you're not sure how to apply edging, you can always consult with a professional.
