Materials Needed:

1 Sheet of Plywood: (48” X 24”)

1 Pallet: (42”X 42”)

Tools:

#305 Stainless Steel 3 inch x 10 Screws

Electric Saw

Power Drill with variable sized Drill bits

Measuring Tape

Hammer

Crow bar

Clamp (Optional)

Step 1: Preparations

Disassembling the Pallet to achieve Pallet wood strips.

You will need: Hammer, Electric Saw & Crow bar

Step 2: Building the Frame

Dimensions: Pallet length is measured to 42 inches.

a. Measure & cut frame wood pieces

You will need: 3 pieces of pallet wood, electric saw, screws & measuring tape.

Cut one of the three strips of wood in half. (18 inches)

b. Attach the frame pieces

Using your tools listed above attach the four pieces of wood at their ends; forming a rectangle shape for your frame.

Step 3: Creating the Legs

You will need: Two, 42" x 2" x 4" wood pallet strips (preferable choose thickest strips). Cut each strip of pallet in half, resulting in four legs for the table.

Dimension of legs: Four legs, 18" x 4"

Step 4: Pre-drill & Attach

a. Pre-drill 3 holes at the end of pallet strip.

IMPORTANT: Pallet wood is hard, so once the actual pre-drilling with the screws are executed, applying the now pre-drilled pallets into the frame eliminates breakage.

You will need: Power drill & 3-4 Screws

c. Stabilize the legs

Total of 1-2 screws
