Build Table Paper For Free

TIP: Triangles are particularly strong shapes because they spread the force to nearly every other part of a frame. Engineers often put materials together in triangular arrangements to increase their strength and stability. TIP: The more triangular supports in your table, the stronger and more stable your table will be.

You also want to have triangle braces from each leg frame up to the underside of the table. Done properly this will eliminate all of the wobble. L brackets would work, or a shelf bracket, depends on how you want it to look.

TIP: If you make the newspaper into a tube shape, it will allow the load (the heavy book) to push on every part of the paper and not just one section of it. TIP: A table is more likely to become tippy as its height increases. If your table is very tall and reinforcing the legs doesn't work, try reducing its height.

The cylinder can support the most books because it's walls don't have any edges. The force of the books cannot become concentrated in a particular area. The load is distributed evenly. In other words, all parts of the cylinder are sharing the load of the books.

GAC 400 is used to stiffen fabric or paper made from natural fibers. It is a water-borne acrylic that dries to a hard, stiff film.

You can stiffen paper by folding or rolling it into a column. But to support the most weight, you have to do one more thing. You have to turn the column so it's perpendicular to the pressure.
