hi this is justin from remodelaholic.com today i wanted to show you how we made this pallet wood coffee table. please be sure to like our video and subscribeto our channel, for great weekly tutorial videos. we had a lot of fun designing this table withwaterfall mitered legs. another cool thing about this design is theremovable center bin. it can be taken out and filled with drinkson ice, flowers or even makes a great legos holding table. whatever you want!! be sure to check out the link to the buildingplans on our blog in the description box below.
the first thing that you want to do is gatherall the pallet wood for the table. try to find pallet wood that is the same thickness. you will also be using some 2x4’s as well. if you have a pallet, but are not sure howto take it apart, be sure to check out our video “how to dismantle a pallet easily†start by cutting all your boards to the samewidth. then cut them to length according to the plans. assemble the frame of the table together beingsure to keep everything nice and square. remember you want the center bin to be removable,so don’t nail it in place.
sand all the boards smooth enough to removeslivers, but still keeping the rough details. glue on the boards and nail them in placearound the entire table frame. cut the top panel boards to length and besure to miter one end of them where the legs will attach. now start assembling the top panels of thetable. we decided to try the biscuit joiner hereto keep the boards together. or you could secure them together using akreg jig on the back of the panels. which way do you like to build things, a kregjig or biscuits, tell us in the comments below first cut the biscuit holes,
apply the glue in the holes, add one biscuit in each hole, clamp it all together to dry. be sure to wipe off any extra glue, with awet rag. you’ll be building the legs in this sameway. place the top panel onto the table frame.. be sure to line up the bottom of the miterededge on the end of the table frame, so that the legs will join on properly. use construction adhesive and 18ga nails toattach the panels to top of the frame,
after assembling the legs, glue and nail theminto place as shown. to remove the sharp mitered edge, slide thecurved portion of your hammer over the joint, to which round it off and seals the corner. wipe off any extra glue. once it’s all dry and all assembled it’stime for one final sand. hand sand with 150 grit sandpaper over allthe boards. now you're ready for the finish. we decided to use teak oil because we wantedit to be an outside table. use a cheap nylon brush and a rag to put iton.
start on the inside and work your way out. don’t forget to do underneath as well. repeat twice for underside and 3 times forthe outside legs and the top. wipe away any excess oil. now check out how you can use this amazingtable. it’s great for ice and drinks when hostinga party or growing flowers! what do you think? please subscribe and like our video. thanks for watching!
