This is where you can learn to build things!
So I finally wrapped up the bar table. It only needed the base and top flattened off (on the pallets). Then I wanted to make sure I got the video edited and released before posting.
This project was cheap and easy. I hope to have some additional modifications of the table top posted in the future.

We have a new video in production about how to make a bar table! We bought a table from Goodwill for about 6$ and acquired some safe to use pallets from a friend. In about an hour you can have a steady bar table for hosting delicious adult beverages for friends and family! Tune in for an upcoming how to video some time this week or next!
Want to learn more about which pallets are safe to use? We learned a lot from this website: Learn about pallets
I would stick to heat treated as they are not treated with harsh chemicals, but simply heated in order to kill potential pests. If the pallets are unmarked don’t risk the chance of them having harsh chemicals or potentially infested with nasty pests. Also avoided any pallets that show visible stains as you can never be too sure what has spilled on them when delivering something.
Today we show you how to make a laptop stand for your bed. This lets you work while you relax and lay down in bed. Netflix and chill just got a whole lot easier with a little up front effort. Take a trip to your local lumber yard and get the wood and hardware you need to build this laptop that will keep the movies rolling!
This project should only take about an hour or so. If you have experience with a compound miter saw and a drill it is simple and easy to build. The hardest thing to find was the furniture knob. I got this at my local Ace Hardware (not a plug)! It is better to have this larger knob over using a cabinet knob because it allows you to grip and twist it firmer in order to lock the legs in place.
Supplies:
-Compound miter saw
-Drill and drill bits
-9ft of 1.75″x.75″ board
-2×2′ medium density fiber board (MDF)
-Hand knob (Can’t find it on ace website)
-1″ wood screws

Today we will discuss how to make a hammock stand a long with a Youtube video that shows the process. We ended up spending about $100 on lumber, hardware, and paint.
We followed the instructions on this website, but decided that we could explain it better.
The hammock that we happened to use is this.

Materials:
(Notes: Make sure the lumber is green treated and the bolts and nuts are galvanized, this will help with longevity of your stand)
