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.
