Hi all,
With my second post into your Architecture+Design Community I want to show you the dining table I designed and built out of used pallet wood.
It was June 2017 and I lived at that time in Pedregalejo Spain.
I don’t have all progress photos, but I have a few in between photos so you get an idea of the process and my design. Even how it changed along the way with different stands and a new metal frame. In my future projects and furniture designs I will show you my whole process 😉 I also have a few old furniture pieces I refurbished and painted different colours.
First I took a few pallets apart, as you could see and read in my first post from last week: When I designed and build our salon table.
These pallets, and the wood I got from them that could be used, I used to make our dining table first, (before the mentioned salon table) which I show you today.
I sanded the wooden pieces I could save… I left as many as possible nice marks and stamped lettering for a rustic feel in the wood. So you see it is reclaimed wood. Some of these markings you can see on top of the table.
The wooden slats I used are also thicker and less wide than normal pallet pieces so perfect for this table top. The place I could collect them from said they were rather old. So that made me smile even more 😁
Here you can see I was measuring what would fit in the living room. Also which pieces would go next to each other as some were a bit deformed, but eventually I got them perfectly lined in order to work as a rustic table top.
I screwed all slats onto the 2 long beams from the bottom up.
The table top measures 1 metre x 2 metre
I placed them to begin with, on some work benches.
They didn’t fit straight order the gap under the top between the 2 longer beams.
So I needed to find another solution.
I had an idea; I would search for a Black Matt powder coated metal Frame to rest the table top on.
After searching for quite a bit I did find a Matt black powder coated frame 😎
Somehow it fitted perfectly:
Tadaa 😉 our reclaimed wooden Dining Table I designed.
In our previous living room see next photo: (a few houses after the apartment where I built it) I added 4 all different chairs to it over time.
Hope you enjoyed my photos and the progress of our Dining Table.😎
