<\/a><\/p>\nI recently trained myself to use power tools. More specifically, a circular saw and a drill, which it turns out is all you need to make a bunch of crafty shit out of crap you can find on the side of the road! Now fair warning, taking pallets apart is a pain in the ass, but it’s made infinitely easier with a\u00a0proper pry bar<\/a> and a tetanus shot.<\/p>\n Pallets are the perfect length for these benches, but you could obviously cut them to any length smaller than original. You’ll need 4 boards and a 4×4 to make it.<\/p>\n 1. Cut the 4×4 to the desired leg length. I like em at 16″.<\/p>\n 2. Lay three of the pallet boards side by side and use em to measure cuts for the fourth board. Cut three pieces the width of the bench top.<\/p>\n 3. Screw em together.<\/p>\n 4. Flip over the top and balance it on the legs, placing them right inside the braces on the edges. Screw through the top and boom! You have a bench. If you wanna get fancy, add a couple more pallet pieces to the legs both for support and style.<\/p>\n
