Stay focused and be patient. All great works of art requires a good amount of time.

I havent really been in touch....

Re: Pallet Coffee Table Ideas

Hey mate, 

 

Keen to find out how you went. I love the progress pic. Did you decide what to do about legs ? 

 

I’ve made a fair few coffee tables out of pallets. On one I used galvanized plumbing fittings as legs to make it look very industrial which turned out ace. I’ll see if I can track down a photo. 

 

Good Luck.
