How to Make a Table From a Drum

Measure the diameter of the drum head across the center, at its widest point.

Select from either wood, clear acrylic or glass for the tabletop. Clear acrylic and glass allow you to see the drum underneath, while wood covers the drum head, but still leaves the base visible as a main component of the table.

Draw a circular shape with a diameter at least six inches wider than the drum head onto the tabletop material of choice. Use a jigsaw or scroll saw to cut out a wood shape and sand the edges. Use a power saw with a special blade for acrylic to cut this material. Purchase a precut piece of glass for the tabletop, unless you are highly skilled at glass cutting.

Place the drum where the table will be located and lay the tabletop in the center. Decorate the tabletop with a tablecloth, accessories or any desired objects.
