Pallet Crate Desk
My son moved to a third floor apartment, so I made her a writing desk, which can easily take up. As the table legs boxes, so you can pack into them during the move. Assembled are shelves will be under the table.
The Beginning
First, I took apart many many pallets.
Each bar 7 cm wide cut. Then I cut at right angles to the edges and cut them to size. Finally, I planed them.
Preparing the Crates
The crates handle jigsaws cut off and the edges are rounded router
I made the tenons with a table saw.
After all, I thoroughly sanded all the parts. All components are glued and philips screws are fixed. I made four equal boxes.
After assembly, beeswax and linseed oil was treated with a mixture of surfaces.
Tabletop
The table top was made by using pocket hole screws and glue.
The boards are fitted with a router.
After joining the lower side made a stiffening frame, also with glue and screws are fixed.
Then 80-grit sanding the surface was smooth. Router rounded edges. 220-grit sanding smoother even before finish. The tabletop surface of the linseed oil and beeswax mixture of treated.
Assembling
It was important to me that the assembly and disassembly should be simple. This helps a lot in a possible move.
The crates should be fixed by screws 4-4 and the resulting finished table legs, also 4-4 screws should be secured to the table top from the bottom.
Before screwing the crates are infinitely rotatable, depending on how the right or left towish the shelves.
Moving
The table was made so we loaded easily into a passenger car, with all the necessary stuff, and even the third floor was not burdensome to bring up :)
