3 hours and lots of F bombs dismantling a very old shipping pallet with a pry bar, hammer, and jigsaw.
3 hours cutting (Delta table saw), sanding (orbital sander), and assembling with wood glue and wood screws.
4 days finishing (boiled linseed oil, thinner, ash from my fire pit), then 4 coats of satin poly.

A very very easy and rewarding project, plus….I didn’t want to spend $200 on some chipboard garbage, and I REALLY needed a new coffee table.
