Serve up a touch of luxe with marble tile and brushed copper handles - by Natasha Dickins
  • 13 Nov 2018

WHAT YOU NEED:

  • Johnson Tiles 300 x 600mm Marble White Rectified Ceramic Wall Tile
  • Two timber offcuts 250mm-long for drilling
  • Prestige 192mm Brushed Copper Square D Handle 2-pack
  • Bear 18mm x 50m General Purpose Masking Tape
  • Empire Fine Tip Worksite Marker
  • Empire 150mm True Blue Combination Square
  • Ryobi One+ 18V Drill Kit

  • Craftright 150mm Adjustable Wrench
  • Craftright 200mm Combination Pliers
  • Craftright Screwdriver
  • TIC 55mm Round Slide Glide 4 pack

Board

HOW-TO STEPS

  1. Set out the timber offcuts to protect the table from damage while drilling then place the tile on them.
  2. On the tile, measure and mark 40mm from the ends and apply strips of masking tape inside the marks.
  3. From the sides, measure 50mm and mark the centre of the tape with the pen.
  4. Use a screwdriver to remove the packaging screws from the handles, then centre the handles over the marks to double-check the holes are positioned accurately.
  5. Use a 4mm tile bit to make the holes, drilling for a couple of seconds and stopping, then repeat, stopping regularly to ensure the bit doesn’t become too hot.
  6. Remove the tape and turn the tile over to check and mark the length of the screws through the tile.
  7. In one hand, hold the screw horizontally with the adjustable wrench and, in the other hand, hold the combination pliers, grab onto the screw near the mark and pull downwards to snap the shaft.
  8. Thread the screws through the back of the tile, position and the handles on the front then use a screwdriver to tighten them.
  9. Remove the adhesive backing from the glides to centre them over the screws underneath the tray.
  10. Avoid getting the feet wet while cleaning the tray with warm soapy water and rinsing well
    before using it to serve.
