We found a discarded wooden side table next to a skip outside our workshop. Instead of letting it go to waste, we thought we'd try our hand at upcycling it by giving it a bit of a makeover. We refinished the outside of the table and added a brand new top made from 100% recycled plastic. Since we were feeling fancy, we also added wireless phone charging functionality. We are pretty confident that this little table would fit nicely inside a modern home. We literally turned trash into treasure!

What is the black plastic you used when melting
You have the USB socket inches from the charging pad. You can just as easily plug the phone in directly once you have the cord going all the way there. Would have made more sense to have the USB go near the bottom of the pedestal and run up the inside to the charging pad. That way you would not have a dangling cord...
smarty pants. perhaps the way they made it is exactly the way they wanted it.
Awesome ! .. personally, I would have kept it with a wood finish ( a new wood finish) and colored top .. a mid century modern look
There is absolutely no end to both of your contributions to using old plastic and making new useful things with it . I hope to continue myself in our small shop helping the local public with ID's and housing recycling plastic in Birmingham , Alabama . Thank you for the new ideas that I may put to good use also . Have a great day guys 😄
That's a great attitude. I hope that you can collaborate with somebody.
Why not rout the USB input to the bottom of the table?
Brilliant. You guys are my hero. We should all get back to the "fix it" if it is broken or old instead of tossing it. The idea for the screwdriver was inventive.
As someone who has refinished the thrift store special on numerous occasions, use a clearcoat to finish! The paint can and will come off through wear.
Love the attention to detail in matching the beveled edge to the angle of the base.
I use the containers for mushrooms as my snake hides, just cut an arch out with scissors, then use a fine nail file to soften the edges. The shorter sized containers, for water bowls. The large plastic quality street container for a moss box, I melt around hole where the Q is, with a souldering iron, no need for filing. Souldering irons are good for melting plastics, instead of trying to cut and end up spliting the plastics. Used the souldering-iron to melt air holes in heavy-duty storage box, yes for my snakes travel boxes.😁 My snake are spoilt. My husband also uses mushroom containers, and the clear same shaped salad containers (as a lid) for provacators for his plants.😁👍
That shape would make an awesome lampshade.
Was thinking about all the black bottle lids. What about tiles for bathroom floor etc? 😊
are the fumes this puts off not toxic.. i know you're not burning it but i was just wondering.
Yes I was wondering the same
I'm no expert but the boys have mentioned this in previous videos, I think as long as it's a well ventilated area and the temperature is not too high then the fumes are not toxic :)
Hello from the US love your work and I'm literally laying on a mate I created out of at home recycled bags
You guys are so creative! Love it! Great job
Just watched my first video of yours. Immediately subscribed. Lots of plastic that is generated that can be recycled into useful item. Thank you.
you boys do so much, I wish you all the very best. keep going you are both doing great.
thank you so much for what you're doing!!!! very exciting project!!
the marble effect turned out really well!
Saludos desde 🇪🇨🇪🇨🇪🇨♻️ Ecuador, tenemos un proyecto igual de creativo como ustedes espero algun dia poder comunicarme con ustedes para compartir ideas!! Felicidades 🎉
Bravo linking all those drill extensions 😂😂😂 i lost it
Great idea but definitely white spray paint makes it look like a quick home diy rather than a product for sale. A whitewash and a nice satin wood finish would look way more presentable!
You guys should make recycled plastic jewelry. I’d love to own a set of bangles in that black and white marble pattern.
A real piece of art 👍😊
How fun! And efficient!✌️🏻❤
Amazing work.
Wow! Looks NICE!🥰
The top is so pretty ❤
Good job, brothers!
If you are inclined to make a video about your encounter with the Malaysian mayor, then I recommend keeping it simple. Just talk into a camera with no editing, and let us know what his beliefs were before meeting, and what it took to get that meeting, and what long term outcomes you expect.
What is the material u use to put under and over the plastic before heating it up
You came really close to do damascus-looking plastic on this one! Could that be a futur project? -wink wink-
Lol. 10:00 Been there, done that. 😄
Brothers! Have you ever attempted to make some keycaps out of plastic bottles? I haven't seen people made these yet!
As a challenge, could you make a backpack made from recycled materials.
That extendo drillbit was hilarious LOL, another beautiful piece!
Also, I'm curious if you plan on making any videos about lighters? I've been obsessively collecting them for many years now and plan on making a gargantuan functional lighter sculpture out of all of them, but don't know the material and don't really wanna use that many external sources of adhesion
Love this ❤ memememe look nice in my flat living room ❤
Can u use mica powders or some other coloring to color the plastic
Very cool!!!
Thank you. I really appreciate your ideas and videos. You have my dream shop, wish I could come and play . . . er, I mean work, not play.😀
What do you line the grilles with?
Is there anyway you guys could make an all plastic deck of cards
Though expensive I have been wondering if the tortilla presses I see when I go to Moe's would be better than the panini presses at least size wise. Wonder if the would get hot enough?
Very cool.
How food safe is this plastic? Could you make food cutting boards like this? Maybe seal or coat the boards to make them safe?
How do you feel about adding some funky placemats to go along with your coasters on the shop?
I'd like to see more detail on the plastic types used, so we can replicate...
All HDPE 👌🏼
Have you thought about potentially making a plastic urn??? I know that we already have plastic urns in crematoria - but they're always that God awful brown colour. If we can come up with a good way to make urns from old plastic, maybe we can have a more attractive way to display our dead as well as a way to create new decorations for out homes as well.
I love the idea of having more urns around me that I can use to keep things like coins in. I'm just not sure how to get the basic shape right without resorting to expensive equipment, which I don't have.
When cutting the soft plastic would a pizza cutter work without clogging up? This could be a quicker solution.
Birdy
Hey can you use silicone molds ? For the diyers without all these cool molds lol. Also could you just cut the hdpe with a craft knife once it's cooled?
You guys should make glasses that optometrist can mount prescription lenses in.
very cool. I want a friend that can give me "seconds" plastic!
Which wireless charger did you use?
Whats the strength like of HDPE in say bed frames? maybe even the slats? might be something to explore, lots of new families out there looking for environmentally sustainable n affordable essentials.
It should be pretty good considering they've made benches and similar pieces of furniture out of them. (at least I think they did, I know they made benches out of covid masks but that's a different type and seemed to work great)
It's plastic table top right? So how do you keep things from sliding right off it?
Can you make a video about recycling plastic into pellets ?
Nice
Can you let me know what router you use. Thanks brothersmake!
This one was the Triton trim router 👍🏽
500 dolares solo tuvieron en consumo eléctrico para hacer funcionar las resistencias de esas maquinas que derriten el plástico. 500 dollars only had electricity consumption to operate the resistors of those machines that melt the plastic
Where do you get your plastic and the mold ?
Check out PlasticPreneur.com - Mention code ‘BROTHERSMAKE’ for 5% off all machines and moulds 🤙🏽
Gents; try using a proper carpet knife with a proper carpet blade. Be careful not cut yourself, but I think you’d see a big difference when slicing up the plastic.
that reminds me of how a stick of rock is made
What do you call that black non stick Film?..
It is probably called a silicone baking sheet.
Teflon
I wish I could make 500 dollars with my crafts I don’t know how you did that, I can never get that much (really need it though)
Has anyone, @BrothersMake or other, tried using a "solar oven" (concentrated mirrors) to melt and reform plastic? Was thinking it might work to drip it through a solar oven chamber and on to a pan, especially since it could go through a planer after ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I enjoy all of these videos!
But here's a question, whats the energy consumption rate for turning junk plastic into a useable plastic again? Some of the conversion methods seem energy prohibitive over first use plastic.
I feel like you really should have either used the bigger side as the top, or had an overhang on the smaller surface. Looks kinda silly to me.
There is an overhang, but thanks 👍🏽
@@BrothersMake Also, to not just be negative, I should also mention that, significantly inspired by you guys, I am starting my own recycled plastic business here in Montreal.
Thanks for all the great information you provide, and the awareness that you bring!
can you make a fresbe
sorry guys... what were you thinking when you were adding that wireless charging pad...
you added hole at the bottom on the table... and then add wire on the side of the table...just WHY.... my mind is not happy with that decision at all....
making tent please from doritos plastic
I hate to be that person but…
…you might well be safe online. But what about your personal physical safety?
Sanding without a mask?
Do you normally use one and this is just so that the camera can hear you?
5:54 I’m not trying to tell you what to do, but it does worry me that people are encouraged to copy the idea of recycling from watching your videos.
Just my thoughts… thanks for reading them if you get the time ❤
Can jou make army men or somting alike
No respirator while melting plastics or spraypainting?
the company you got the plastic from would not have "wasted" it, 1000%. it is sorted plastic and not used so they would/could sold it for a price to a recycling company that would make plastic pellets out of it and resell it to them or other companies. clean and sorted plastics almost always gets recyled. The used and unsorted plastic waste is the real problem and almost nobody can recycle it usefully. Thanks for listening to my TED talk.
The box was literally taken out of a skip
lol he was confirming it was marijuana y’all and was def embarrassed when he got caught
Such a shame that all those grey lids were going to waste
Didn't watch all. BUT where did you get and Think someone would pay $500???????? Looks good granted But the price?????
Rich ppl go nuts over hand crafted items. Not to mention the added ego boost to be able to say they are saving the environment 😂
So many hours went into making that table, $500 is definitely worth their time
If they sold it for that much it’s because of their name. I couldn’t sell degraded plywood and recycled plastic for more than $75!
@@krisschaefbauer9577artists RARELY get paid by how much effort and time they put into it!
Sorry guys, not worth 500.00!
don't forget that youtube ad revenue as well lol
1000?
The original wooden table only cost 30 pound. 6:13
It's worth whatever anyone is willing to pay for it. It may not be worth that to you, but there's plenty of people with the resources to pay 500 and more. Plus their labor is worth something.
There is so much labor that is associated with this art! I truly enjoyed the creation of this and I think you both made a masterpiece! Well done!
4:03 ACK! ARGGG!!! So disappointed, I was watching you very carefully lay out the layered plastic and it was looking so nice, I thought we might see you trying something new where we would get black grey and white stripes. Then NO, twist and fold and twist some more, get rid of any carefully created patterning and turn it into the same old "marbling" as always. 🤬😢🙄
Do u use mask doing this
the wire should go out the bottom
This makes me think I could melt down old plastic and make guitar picks from it. 🤔
We have a video on that!
@@BrothersMake 😲 will look for that now. First time I'veseen your channel
Thanks for watching!
@@BrothersMake thanks for making something actually useful on the internet! 😎
