Small Side Table

I build a side table out of 2x4" pallet wood.

Step 1: Materials

Gather some 2x4" pallets and cut four 20" inch boards.

Cut two 7" long braces and two 11" long braces.

Step 2: Cutting the Legs

Measure 3" down from one end of the leg and use a speed square to mark the point. Then, measure 1 3/4" from the opposite edge and mark the point. I use a bandsaw to cut the legs out.

Step 3: Sand the Legs

After I finished cutting the legs out, I use the orbital sander on them.

Step 4: Make Pocket Holes

Use the Kreg Jig to screw pocket holes in the braces.

Step 5: Put Together

I then glued and screwed the braces to the legs. After that, I clamp them together. I use 1 3/4" pocket hole screws.

Step 6: Final

Used the table saw to cut 14 3/4" frame, then I glued and screwed it to the top.
