Instructions
Step 1
Draw a sketch of what the finished piece of furniture will look like. So it will be easier for you to navigate in the process of making the table. It is even better to draw up a plan, which will indicate all the sizes and materials that will be needed to create a product from pallets. Then you will not have to break away from work to run to the store for the missing pair of screws.
Step 2
Prepare materials for work. Before starting work, the surface of the boards from which the pallet is made must be cleaned of dirt and slightly sanded. To do this, you need a drill with a grinding attachment, with which you will need to process the wood. After this operation, the paint on the pallets will fit better, and the product itself will be able to last longer, since not completely removed dirt can cause decay of the boards.
Step 3
The simplest version of a coffee table - peeled pallets are painted, castors or bars are attached from below, and the table is ready. You can experiment - for example, use not one, but two pallets on top of each other to make a table. The upper "floor" will be a table top, the lower one will serve for folding various little things, magazines, books. Attach wheels to the lower floor, which are easy to purchase at any of the furniture stores that have a hardware department. With their help, it is more convenient to move the table from place to place.
