How to do this project
1
Started of by ripping my rough cut pallet wood into 50mm planks
2
Glued together sets of 3 and cut in triangles with mitre saw. Needed 8 per table
3
Glued together in a cross pattern and sanded level with belt sander
4
Next started with legs. Cut pine planks. 8 per table and ripped one side at a 45. Didn't have a bit for router so made a slot with table saw for joint and cut a thin plank to complete joint and glue together
5
Drilled holed 100 mm from bottom for dowels. 25mm apart and cut pine into planks for bottom brace. And glued together to complete stand
6
Cut 4 more planks and mitred to for a frame skirting this I screwed on from inside
7
Cut the top I made originally to size and screwed to top
8
I then stained the tables with oak stain. Was not happy with result and started sanding to re stain.. After starting liked the look and decided to keep it that way.
