  3. I squeezed loctite adhesive on the pencil circle mark and set tube on top of wood and let dry
  4. I used my miter saw to cut the half round trim pieces to 24 inches long
  5. I glued cut trim pieces to tube with loctite vertically all around the tube and let dry
  1. I then wood filled in between the trim pieces and sanded when dried
  2. I used my jig saw to cut a center circle in wood circle top (6 1/2inch) across so the bowl can fit inside but the bowl lip will sit on edge
  3. Then I stained the whole table with a wood stain, color- pickled oak
  4. I inserted the bowl into the table and started filling with fire glass cubes
  5. Then I set the metal cup in the center and filled the rest of the way around
  6. Then I filled the cup with fireplace ethanol fluid and lit with a lighter! Enjoy!
