Reused Wooden Table (pallets) : 5 Steps

I have always wanted a patio table for the back yard . It was a pain to find one that was big enoff also afforable to get
this a brife intructable that shows you that you can take old pallets and reuse them to what you desire.

Step 1:

Step 2: Scrap Wood

here is the table 90% built .
I used old pallets . I cut the ends off so I didnt have to remove nails .
I plain the endges down so i can biscut and wood glue the boards together.
I use a hand planer to flaten some ruff edges.
then i started with 80 grit sandpaper finshed off to 400 grit.

Step 3: Wood Filler

After i sanded i just wasn't happy how the top was. So i used wood filer to fill all the gap's ect. i used 2 qts of maple sandable filler
Once again i resanded the top smooth .

Step 4: Stain and Clear

Here you can see the stain applied (3x)
i used minwax dark magonany
I use a latex clear on the table. probly 1/2 gallon of clear i sanded between coats so it would be super smooth.
the cost of the table was $65.00
