Free D.I.Y. construction drawings for homemade furniture.
Free manuals and plans, learn to make furniture from repurposed materials. First of all, use wood from old scaffolding as one of the main materials. Recycling is the main purpose for our woodworking plans. We have a nice selection of drawings for tables and chairs. Learn how to make furniture from scaffold tubing and planks is very easy and fun.
Drawings for homemade furniture explained in a step by step tutorial.
We tried to make simple furniture plans and drawings. Therefore there is no need for complicated assembly methods. Selftapping screws in strategic places help to make this furniture strong. In the case of scaffolding tubes you will make these connections with special clamps. You can simply assemble the tube furniture with an allen key.
Forget about dovetails and other classic methods for joining wood. Neither do you need expensive materials to achieve a long lasting quality.

Free construction drawings for beds from wood and steel pipes.
Easy construction plans and assembly instructions for homemade beds and bedroom furniture. Most of these constructions are made with tubes from scaffolding to make a frame, in combination with scaffold boards. It is very easy to make these bed frames, but do not think that these beds are cheap. You will need a lot of Kee Klamps, and those tube connections are not cheap at all. On the other hand it is a good investment.
Make a steel tube rolling table frame and tabletop from repurposed scaffolding wood.
This design for this rolling table is very similar to our construction draing how to make a kitchen table from scaffolding tubes. The difference in this construction drawing are wheels under the table legs. Our previous model had round metal footplates under the legs, and that made it a bit hard to move the table.
Wheels with brakes completely eliminate the difficulty to move these tables. It will also prevent scratches on the floor. After all, the tubes together with a scaffolding wood tabletop and all of the tube clamps have a considerable weight. Continue reading “Rolling table on wheels, made from scaffolding pipes.”
Table frame made from 42 mm. thick scaffolding tubes.

Homemade frame support for a hammock, made with scaffolding tubes.
Examples how you can make a strong frame to support hammocks and swings. Tubes from scaffolding are the base material to make these frames. The frames can be dismantled when you do not use the hammock for a longer time.
Tube clamps are available for many sizes of scaffolding pipes. We recommend that you use a fairly large diameter to make these constructions. A tube size around 40 milimeters is strong and still fairly affordable. Bear in mind that the price for tubes and scaffolding clamps rises exponential with an increase of the tube diameter.
