How do I make two 200 year old doors into a table?
Have two 200 yr old doors that I want to make into a dining room table. I know I have to clean them up but do I need to take the nails out? I would love to keep them just because they’re part of the period, so is there a way to do this? Should I put something underneath to keep it solid?

Keep the nails or whatever fasteners they used in the piece if you can. If you want, you can get a piece of glass or plexi glass to put over the table when done to keep it preserved.
Keep the nails, may need to set them a bit to sand and clean table. Are they small doors? Can't they just be glued together and make a base for them? Pictures and sizes would help us help you.
