The full tutorial video...
But if you are not fan of long videos, I will be also adding the short video version at the end of this article
First of course, you will need a pallet... and if possible try to get one as clean as possible... you will need to remove one of the pallet side to start working on it.
Then here after remove the side part, I have decided to use my miter saw stand to properly work on this part
in order to have a flat surface, I am here removing the top wood to be able to cut to size the middle section...
When I've cut the middle section and placedthe top back it was now time to do some sanding... and for this I will be using my favorite adjustable workbench
After the sanding time to round up a little bit the edges...
After the sanding, it was time for me t paint in white but note that you are of course free to use any color you want
While the main part was drying, I have decided to apply wood burning effect to the back side but also the doors..
a little bit of lacquer to highlight the wood texture...
Same things for the doors, then here you are with a nice and simple DIY shelf for your bedroom or living room.
