recently i saw a coffee table made out of old pallets and i was wanting to make a coffee table out of something you wouldnt normally see..Im looking for a colorful/modern type of look! Any ideas??
Answer
Yes, I full agree that you can make tables using old pallets. Old pallets and be used for many things.
We have three medium sized tables on our rap around deck out side that husband made from wood he collected from different places when we still had our out-door wood burner. I'd see a piece of wood that I knew had potential for a table and the work began. We have been using them for at least five years now. Simply made, but very durable. Just the thing needed for end tables for an out door deck. I like the the rustic look anyway so they fit in great for there use. Husband also made a table and small simple benches to use around our fire pit.
You are saying that you're looking for something that is colorful and modern looking. Any wood can be painting, but I don't know about the moder look when talking pallets.
Have you considered using a large foot rest that you can use for both foot rest and coffee table. This kind of thing is used all the time. You get two for the price of one. I always liked the idea, but it just wouldn't work with my house, but could with yours. Something to consider. Perhaps you could go hunting to second hand stores for a medal framed table on the modern side. Even if you would have to replace the glass it still might be worth purchasing with the frame is cheap enough to re-due.
Get out there a hunt second hand shops, rummage sales, even Goodwill stores. You never know what you can find at half or less the price than new. Bring in home and begin your project. Always be sure before you buy. You don't want to wind up with three different things that you decide you can't use. Get a picture in you mind of what you looking for. It's out there waiting for you. I've re-done and old cart on wheels for use in my kitchen. I'm sure you can find something to use for a coffee table. After you re-do it, now you can call it your own, and it's brand new again. It's fun to see something old come to life again. Good luck.

Answer
In high school woodshop I made a beautiful piano bench. I had an old piano with a chair. Made my own bench out of oak. It was very strong and good. Had a flip up top for music and everything.
I gave it to a preacher friend of mine to use for awhile. God called him to a ministry in another town and the b@st@rd took my bench with him!
Whether God called him or not, I'm not sure, but I KNOW God did not call my bench to move on. That gosh-darned mudder freakin' preacher! Shinola!!!
