Find a vintage door you like. A skinny solid wood door is the best. Ours had slight smoke damage but still has the original copper latch hardware. We found our solid birch door at Build it Green in Queens (www.bignyc.org) for $45.
Compile the correct tools! Several clamps and a circular saw with a sharp blade are vital. In addition, it's easier to clean all of the surfaces with Murphy's Oil Soap prior to construction.
Mark a line where you will cut the door to form its legs. Wood glue and 3-inch screws will fasten it after the two cuts
Use an object with a straight edge to guide the saw cleanly through the door. Make sure the circular saw is set to a 45-degree angle.
You can use a utility knife to clean up any splinters.
Pre-drill holes to accept the 3-inch screws, two on each leg. Don't forget to use ample wood glue in the joints.
Use a good wipe-on wood preserver.
Add some bespoke magazine carts (two square pieces of Baltic birch, 8 casters and 2 cabinet pulls) and voila.
