When redecorating or furnishing your home, there are many ideas to do so. And, even if you think you need to spend a lot of money, there are several alternatives to give your environments an original seal, but one that is especially friendly to the environment.
Pallets, usually used in construction, in many places are accumulated as waste after use. But, being made of wood, and created especially to support weight, they can be very resistant.
Therefore, with them, you can build furniture, such as one to store your wines, an armchair, a design table, and you can even use them, for example, to cover a wall.
In this note you will learn how to make a table for the dining room that will look very sophisticated, with a glass plate on top.
Materials
Process
1. First of all, you must make sure that the pallets you have are in good condition. It is advisable to sand them, once you have verified that the measurements they have are correct. Otherwise, you will need to cut them.
If you want to paint them, do it in this step, it makes it easier for you to maneuver with the brush.
2. Now, with the help of glue and nails, you must join two pallets together to create the central part of the table. You may need to add some extra wooden plates underneath for extra support and strength; even more so if you plan to put glass on top.
3. Next, assemble the side legs, following the plans below:
As you will see, the legs do not have one of the upper boards, to fit together with the pallets that make up the central board.
4. Secure everything with nails, apply a wood protector to it, and finally, once you’ve tested its stability, place a sheet of glass on top to give it a sophisticated detail.
You can also make another design like this one, wider and where you can also have all the utensils you need at mealtime nearby.
Dare to do it! And choose a more creative and sustainable way of life!
