My First Project

I've always had an interest in building stuff with wood but never really had the space, but now I have a nice big shed with plenty of room. So I started collecting pallets and playing around building birdhouses, then I wanted to try building an outdoor patio set. My first real project!

After taking the pallet apart piece by piece and removing all the nails then sanding everything nice and clean, I started putting my first chair together. I think it turned out pretty good so I built 3 more.

                                                            Then I added a bench!
                                                                               

I found a pallet that was longer then the regular sized ones and built the table. We stained the legs with a minwax gunstock stain and used clear polyurethane for the tabletop, we really like the two tone of the table so I think we're gonna stain the legs on the chairs and the bench also then polyurethane the entire set. The wife and I love our new patio set! It's plenty big enough for our family of five.
