Save Yourself From Purchasing Store-made TV Console Tables By Building One Using Pallet Wood.
Pallet Wood TV Console Table — Bannockburn
Buying store-made TV console tables can be expensive, what with the prices of furniture nowadays. If you can buy it, why not make it instead? This project will teach you how to make a TV console table made from reclaimed pallet wood. Many thanks to the author Bannockburn @ instructables.com.
We recently remodeled our basement and got our first real TV which was wall-mounted. However, we did not have a way to hide cords and hold our cable box and DVD player (actually it’s an old Sony Playstation 3 given to me by my brother to use as a Blueray player)….Bannockburn
Parameters: I’m a graduate student with a family and need to conserve money. Secondly, I’m cheap anyhow. Thirdly, I really enjoy recycling and upcycling as well as the design aesthetic of using reclaimed wood. Finally, my motto is “Why buy it when you can make it?”.
Solution: Build a reclaimed/pallet wood TV console. I went for a rustic, artistic looking pallet bench that turned out almost exactly like I wanted it.
Inspiration:
I found my initial inspiration for this work when surfing the internet for pallet tables that had been built by other makers.
Source Materials:
Some pallets are treated with pesticides so look for the correct markings to let you know which are safe to use.
Pallets are made of pretty nasty and “useless” wood so you’ll have to source more material than you might think you will actually need for this project in order to have enough.
