DIY: Make a simple table.

Hello! I just finished making a table from the wooden pallets I bought recently. The table has a simple but sturdy design, only requiring a few tools and a little skill to make it.

These are all the tools needed to do this.

Wooden bars only need to be cut lengthwise and crosswise, a circular saw can do it easily. Everyone pay attention to safety, must firmly hold the workpiece before cutting. Or you can draw detailed measurements of each part and ask a specialist to cut it for you.

The table legs are assembled from 2 bars, thin but just strong enough. The corner joints are always screwed with 2 or more screws to avoid being too crooked. The upper and lower table tops are carefully assembled with 3 connecting bones. Pine wood is quite soft and holds screws well, but to prevent screws from cracking, you should pre-drill the screws first. Everyone can see defects such as old nail marks on the pallet, exposed screws, remaining ink stains, etc. It's okay, the items I make for personal use should be sturdy, I hope you are also confident with what you make yourself, and don't forget to observe and improve the quality day by day.

Made specifically for saws, because my working area is not too large, every time I finish sawing I will neatly store the machine. This saw is very heavy, so the table will have wheels, it can be pushed anywhere, and the operation is very gentle.

Now I will start to use it and continue to improve it depending on my needs. I am thinking of adding another compartment as shown in the picture to store wood scraps. Everything is very simple, with just a few basic tools, cheap materials like pallets,... you can make useful items yourself. Just pay attention and concentrate, operate safely. Wishing you success.
