Living Room Table with Pallets If you want a table in your living room to store magazines, books and games, since children scatter them everywhere, see how you can make one from a pallet.
Will need:
- Wood (Pallets – 2 units above and below the table)
- 4 pieces of solid wood for the size of the leg.
- Hammer and wedge
- Circular saw or hand
- Tape measure or meter
- Wood varnish
- Drill
- Screws
- Glue for wood
- Matrix for carpentry work
- Hand nailer or hammer
- Nails
- Sandpaper
1.-
Separate planks from the deck using the Dremel tool or hammer and wedge. Remove all nails from the wood.
2.-
Using the circular saw, cut the plywood to the size you want your table to be. To do this, cut the pallet boards with a width of 6 cm. Draw a line down the center of the plywood. This will be the guide for placing the planks. Using the sandpaper, rub the boards lightly.
3.-
Spread some boards with the varnish to darken and contrast. Using the cutter, cut the edges of the boards at a 45º angle. To make the shelf under the table, use 3 pieces of wood from the center of the pallet and cut them to the size of the table.
4.-
Using the drill bit, tighten the 3 pieces into the plywood. One at each end and one in the center. Place the boards using the line as a guide. The boards will overhang the edge of the plywood.
5.-
Lay the wood on the planks and glue them to the plywood. The glue helps keep the boards in place while you are nailing them.
6.-
After you have nailed all the boards, draw a line where the edge of the table will be and, using the circular saw, cut off any overhanging edges.
7.-
Using extra wood, make a frame for the edge of the table. Cut the wood according to the thickness of the table plus an extra 3 mm. Cut the edges of the boards at a 45° angle and pinch the perimeter of the table.
Cut the other piece of plywood to make the bottom of your table. For the outside edges, cut 2 pallet boards and join them together. You can use just the plywood piece if you want.
8.-
Open the holes at the points where the legs insert and screw them to the bottom of the table.
9.-
After screwing on all the legs, place the bottom piece face down on the bottom of the table.
10.-
Open the holes and screw the two pieces together. Flip the table over and rub the sandpaper over any rough spots.
11.-
If desired, cover the table with polyurethane, following the packaging instructions on use and drying.
