Manufacturing
Pallets are different. In some, the planks are almost full, in others they are spaced a considerable distance from each other. To make a coffee table with your own hands, first decide on the size. Cut off the excess part with a saw, and use the strips from it if you want them to fit close to each other in your table. Clip them to the open side of your new table.
Attention! When working with the hammer, be careful not to break the bars. Generally, pallet wood is dry and can crack easily.
The bottom of your pallet table needs to be reinforced. This is done with the help of additional strips, and even better – wooden blocks. They are nailed on both sides of the pallet, so that there is space for attaching the legs.
The next step is to attach the legs. To do this, first fix the corners for the legs (using a drill), then attach the legs themselves to the holes in the corners.
It remains only to apply varnish to make a coffee table with your own hands. First, sand the entire surface of the table, and then apply varnish with a brush. Let it dry for the proper time. If desired, the varnish can be applied in two layers.
Such an exclusive item will become a highlight of your interior and will allow you to be proud of your ability to transform the surrounding reality.!
