Steps
Step 1
I first wanted to confirm the size of the table will be suitable for the area it was going. I stuck tape on the floor and put dinner plates down to make sure everyone sitting at the table had enough space. I based the rest of my measurements around this.
I then went and purchased the plywood which I would adhere the pallet timber to in a herringbone pattern.
The pallet timber would be cut to size and then individually run through the thicknesser to get consistency across all pieces.
Step 2
After adhering all the pallet pieces, I sanded it all down and stained.
Step 3
Then I constructed and finished the seats in the same way as the table top.
Step 4
The legs were made entirely from sleepers and fence posts that I had leftover from a retaining wall project.
(Use proper PPE when working with these. Also make sure they are completely dry)
Step 5
After painting the legs, I put them in place before attaching the table top. It was too heavy and awkward for me to carry on my own.
And here's the finished product. Ready for the next family BBQ!
