DIY托盘桌子

What do you get when you mix a designer with a stack of pallets? A pallet desk, apparently. Rob Loukotka, artist/designer of边缘焦点在他的车间中获得了一堆托盘，并决定是时候让他们使用了。但这并不容易。他很快了解到托盘木有其局限性，但随着他的创造性的工作周围和这个时尚的桌子的价格0美元的价格标签，我们认为这个项目值得一大竖起大拇指。继续阅读，看看你是如何自己的！

STEP 1

Use a claw hammer and wedge it beneath the board. Slowly rock the hammer to peel the board up, but be careful not to snap the board (pallets are brittle). I suggest moving across the entire board, slowly lifting it up by fractions of an inch at different locations.

Many nails will be rusted or break—WEAR GLOVES. A crowbar helps for leverage, if you have one. If your pallet is particularly difficult, use a hack saw, jig saw, or whatever saw to detach the end points first! You lose about 1 inch on either end, but then you only have 3 nails to remove, instead of 9-10.

STEP 2

You’ll want to chuck out severely damaged boards. I found that half of my boards were very dark, and the other half were light (two different pallets). So I chose to lay out the most interesting looking boards in this stripe pattern. Yours could be a lot cleaner, I was aiming for a dirty look.

STEP 3

规划您的桌子尺寸。我不会在这里给出确切的尺寸，因为自然界托盘家具会有很大差异。但我想要一个非常深的桌子。我决定了一个角度的设计，因为它允许我面对的边缘更长。即使桌子宽69英寸，所面对的边缘也是如图76所示，因为它处于一定角度。这也给出了一个疯狂的强迫透视看，因为我正在使用逐步的薄薄的板，因为它们接近浅侧。

步骤4

如果你很幸运，你的托盘板将非常直的，无瑕疵，没有经过伤害。我不是幸运的。许多董事会绝对必需的联系或刨平，所以我可以把它们漂洗，以形成桌面。但我不拥有一个Jointer或刨床。

解？我把这些板在桌子上撕开了。许多董事会我刚刚撕裂手法或锯篱笆。这并不完美，但它比试图用翘曲的板上建造桌面更好。您也可以在表面上使用手工平面，但损坏的风险很高，托盘股中许多隐藏的钉子和钉书钉。

第5步

弄脏你的托盘板。因为我有半黑董事会的半光板，我想强调对比。我服用了所有的黑色托盘木，并将定制酸洗污渍应用于它。（要制作自己的自定义酸洗污渍，请单击此处the recipe。)

第6步

因此，在董事会中添加关节和饼干可能是件好事，但我只是把我的托盘板挤满了，并将它们粘在一起。有很多表面积（和很多胶水）所以它的工作。我成对夹住了宽板，我将较小的电路板夹在上面的三个板上。

第7步

正如我所说，我选择了非常扭曲的托盘板。所以没有一个刨潮，我必须依靠一些诡计来确保一个级别的表格，我实际上可以工作。这是通过夹紧（和胶合）在桌面下面上的几个2x4s完成的。桌面与我的工作台齐平，但下面有不均匀。每个2×4用翘曲的任何板上用钢支架固定。确保保持夹子，直到胶水完全干燥。此外，我将500万螺钉穿过2x4s进入托盘板以进行额外的刚性。也许矫枉过正。

第8步

Using the 2x4s as a guide, the desk top can be cut down to size. The ragged edges need to be cut flush. If you made a rectangular desk you could maybe skip this step, but since my desk has a 10 degree angle I had a lot to cut! If you have a large table saw, you could cut the entire desk top flush there. My saw and shop are simply too small, so using a handheld power saw (ideally circular saw) like a jig saw can work in a pinch.

第9步

将边框添加到桌面。我从另一个项目中剩下了1x4s，并为这张桌子染色了深棕色。我使用斜切锯以在适当的角度下切割1x4s，并在桌面的整个周边周围缠绕这1×4边缘。基本上4个板（每个不同的长度）。背面（直线）边缘的45度注射器，具有不同角度的前边缘。粘在1x4s（或你喜欢的任何边缘），夹紧疯狂。

第10步
砂托盘桌面。我在桌子的整个表面上使用了一个轨道砂光机，大约有200个砂纸。托盘木粉尘可能是危险的，所以戴上面具并真空吸尘。

第11步

Add legs to the desk! had some 4x4s laying around, so that informed my leg choices. You could easily use steel rods, or 2x4s, or even traditional lathed legs. But I used a 4×4 in each corner, with steel brackets securing it to both the 2×4 support beams AND the 1×4 edge beams. The 4x4s are placed directly under the 2×4 supports, to ensure the weight is distributed across the whole surface. Don’t just plop your legs under the thin pallet wood. For stability, I cut 45 degree angles with the miter saw on some 4×4 braces. These braces are secured with 2″ screws.

第12步

For finishing woodworking projects, I use Danish oil for most surfaces. I mix the Danish oil myself. (You can find the这里的丹麦油食谱。)I added a final layer of brush-on (oil based) polyurethane a day after the Danish oil had dried. I applied a glossy polyurethane to the pallet desk top and edges, but NOT the legs, to give some contrast. Depending on your desired finish (and quality of your wood) you can sand the desk with 0000 steel wool between coats, or 320 grit sandpaper for the polyurethane. Let the poly cure for at least a day before use.
