DIY Woodworking - Table and Storage Stool for Our Tiny House - Pallet Wood Project

When Lowes delivered our Gazebo and Storage Shed over a month ago every thing came on a giant pallet. We have never seen a pallet like this which was made of 2x4s and posts.

We don't have our planer, or jointer, at our Tiny House so we had to think about how we were going to build stuff out of it.

We used our Reciprocating Saw to cut the nails and break down the wood to size.

We needed to make a narrow table for under our Living Room window so we took four of the best slats and glued them up together. We knew there were going to be gaps and that the surface would not be flat.

Once we glued it up it was a LOT of sanding with our belt sander to get it as flat as possible. We used wood filler to close the gaps.

We cut the posts to use as legs and finished it with a dark poly stain. We screwed the legs to the top with 2.5 inch wood screws and glue. The problem was getting the legs to stay at 90 since the top was not perfectly flat. One leg ended up being slightly angled but we decided not to fix it.

We finished the top with clear epoxy. We put on two coats and it needs more work but we ran out of time.

We bought a 2' x 4' piece of 3/4 inch birch plywood from Home Depot and the wheels.

We cut and screwed together the pieces to make the box. We used some of the left over siding from the Tiny House to close off the back.

We finished it with the dark poly stain and put on two coats. It still needs some sanding and one more coat, but the weekend was over.

For the last step we screw on the wheels to both pieces.

We are pretty happy with how it turned out.
