Pallet Garden Work Table

I'm not quite sure why I've become so obsessed with making things out of pallets, perhaps it's the rustic look of the wood or maybe it's the fact that you can pretty much get them for free.  At any rate I have my cousin Rosemary to thank for this idea(thanks for linking the Pinterest pallet page).  Given that the wood is already weathered & aged why not make a table to be used outside or in the garden?  In essence that is what I attempted to make.  Lo & behold:

The real difficulty in working with pallets is taking the things apart.  It's hard to do without destroying the wood & I ended up having to use three separate pallets to make this table with quite a bit of firewood scraps leftover.  However the pieces I managed to take out without too much harm are quite charming. 

If I make another one of these I know I'll go about it different, not sure if making the legs/frame first was the way to go but I wasn't exactly following any instructions so there was always going to be some trial & error.

Here it is all done, now I need to find a garden to pop it in.

I love how the table top looks, like a table that toughed it out on the streets & lived to tell the tale.

Now I just need a garden & some nice weather to put this little guy to use.
