I want to build this http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-T0Pz1lM4dzY/UU33PFyn29I/AAAAAAAAAQI/qjzTPSdfzw0/s1600/pallet-bench+(5).jpg and cannot find instructions. I know a lot of people could wing it but I need dimensions and instructions. Does anyone know where to find these? I have pallets to do it and would like to surprise husband with it

    I have no idea where to find the instructions, but I think this is adorable. It looks like the table is just sitting between 2 chairs so you would need the dimensions of your table first. It would be less cumbersome if it were in 3 pieces.

    That bench is not made from Pallet wood. It is just made to look like it to keep with the trend. If you have not made a piece of furniture before, might want to keep it simple. How about this for starters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jH6wYtOoTZA. Sorry wrong video. This it the one.

    Jody D....go to www.1001pallets.com they have the projects and the directions most of the time for all of these wonderful projects.

    I poked around on the internet a little and couldn't find the plans or even the original source for the photo either. I found the photo in several locations, but like you said, no plans or link back where it originated. My suggestion would be to contact Ana White and send her the photo. That girl can build (and draw up plans) for anything! She shares all plans for free on her site. Maybe she can help you in some way. http://ana-white.com/ I can't build anything but I do have one piece of advice if you forge ahead with this project. Make sure you have your cushions (or know with certainty what you are doing about cushions) at the start of the project. It would be just my luck I would go to all the trouble and expense to build something like this and then not be able to find cushions to fit so precisely on the seats like these do ! lol.

    Good point@Shari ... my luck runs similarly. I have never heard of ana white but will give it a try
