Stay focused and be patient. All great works of art requires a good amount of time.

Hey mate, 

Keen to find out how you went. I love the progress pic. Did you decide what to do about legs ? 

I’ve made a fair few coffee tables out of pallets. On one I used galvanized plumbing fittings as legs to make it look very industrial which turned out ace. I’ll see if I can track down a photo. 

Good Luck.

hello @DIYology,

Yep i did, i made a rectangle frame and attached them to that, diagonals and straight screws....

attached is some pic of the final project, just finished last week....

Thanks for the help. Table top, Just above the legs is a horizontal beam, that is the fame i was talking about storage space the rectangle frame the legs are attached to, this has diagonal screws running through it into the table.
