Then run the boards through the jointer so they will fit together without large gaps. Place them on the bench so you can see how they fit. If you have too much overhang you can rip one of the boards so everything fits well.

I think the key to making a pallet project really awesome is the little details. It’s the little stuff that shows you made it out of pallets because your creative, not because you’re cheap.

I ripped a pallet board to 1 1/2 in for a trim piece. Then I started to lay the planned boards. There is an overhang on both sides so you can move the pallets around to show the best grain. Once you have it where you like it, cut to size and use a brad nailer to nail the boards in place.

I used two of the scrap pieces of the pallet to make a small shelf. Just use the brad nailer to nail together and then attach through the back with the same nailer.

I used a Forstner bit to drill six small holes to fit his screwdriver set.

When I stepped back and took a look at what I had done so far… I knew it needed more. So a shelf in the middle filled that space very well.

I just cut a piece of plywood the same dimensions as the top, 15x 29. Then I cut out the corners so they would fit around the legs. I used some scrap wood and screwed it to the inside of the legs to hold up the ply. Then to make it look nice and add some strength I put a trim piece all the way around with the brad nailer.

I used a water-based satin polyurethane that I really like. I did two coats and sanded in between. The poly is low odor and dries really fast. It adds protection and just a little shine.

And there it is… A fun little workbench that had provided hours of entertainment already. My son seems to really like it. Thanks for reading this and I hope you have as much fun doing this as I did.
