RECLAIMED AND REIMAGINED

Make a pallet coffee table with a secret compartment and invisible wheels.

- Erik Egenreider

What you will need

• A number of planks from pallets, or wood from your store if you prefer

• Nails and a hammer

• Screws and a screwdriver

• Saw

• Wood glue

• F-Clamps (to glue the planks together)

• 2 long 'piano' hinges

• 2 Magnetic cabinet door catches

• 4 wheels

• Wood filler

• Sander machine

• Wood finish

I made this coffee table entirely from wood I got from various reclaimed pallets I dismantled. It features:

• Two hidden compartments for TV remotes, video games controllers, coasters, candles or anything you may need on a coffee table.

• Invisible wheels, so you can take the table anywhere in the living room with no effort while keeping a minimalist style.

The dimensions are: Length: 123cm; width: 70cm; and height: 45cm.

Using three boards for the structure (one in the middle, and one on each side), nail as many boards as needed on both sides to obtain the result shown in the pictures. Nail on both left and right boards, as well as in the middle.

Notes:

● Try to tighten those planks as best as you can before you start nailing, so no space is left between the planks. It'll avoid you using too much wood filler to correct those gaps at the end.
