Thread: New Coffee Table

Ok so I've pulled the pallets apart my next problem is trying to plane the wood since my friend wont be back for a month I've decided to make jig to try and plane with my router I've also started a small router table so I can do the edging and other stuff which would make things easier since I'm not the worlds best free hand router user.
Would post some pics but it's just a pile of wood at the moment and everybody has seen a pile of wood.

Yeah but, each pile of wood is ever so slightly different from the last. That's what makes it interesting

I do hope the pallet wood is clean. I would note put it through my machines as this wood is notorious for having inbedded grit, which will dull edges quickly. Check the wood thoroughly.

yep checked it today its actually really clean wood.
On a side note ive made a small router table so will test it tomorrow, I made a planner jig for my router as well but when i was testing it today i realised the wood I used is too thin so it was bowing when I ran the router over it so tomorrow will to make another one.

So we can now delete this thread the coffee table has been put on permanent hold as the missus has decided she wants an Adirondack chair or 2 for the patio instead now. lucky ive too busy at work to have actually done anything more on the table.
