DIY Pallet End Table

Build an outdoor end table out of a single pallet.
We have a patio furniture set on our back deck and it would be nice to have an end table between the sofa and chair to have a place to put drinks. We also have a single pallet that has been sitting on the side of the house for a few months. So, I decided to turn that pallet into an end table for our patio set. Here is the table I made:

To make the table, I first had to disassemble the pallet using a Sawzall.

Once pallet was disassembled, I had all the boards I needed to make a table.

First, I built the frame for the top using my Kreg Jig and pocket hole screws.
Then I added the top boards.
Top boards added to frame.
Once the top was built, I added the legs.

The last step was building in the bottom shelf.

Once the table was built, I stained it with Dark Walnut stain and added three coats of outdoor varnish in satin finish. Here is the finished table.
