When Danielle Clair decided to make her own dining table during lockdown, little did she know it would one day become her career.
The 32-year-old, from West Derby, was living alone and going through a difficult time in her personal life, so she decided to use the DIY project as a distraction to take her mind off things. Using a £7.99 palm sander she'd bought from B&M, Danielle tried to turn two scaffolding boards into a table, but it fell apart.
After watching countless YouTube and Instagram videos, she preserved, and her second attempt was a success. Danielle shared a photo of the table on Facebook, which gained a lot of attention and she was soon asked to make one for a friend.
