Making a table out of crappy pallet wood.

I'm going to add some flashing around the top. Should I stain them gold or brown?

Ehh, boards around the edge to make it look pretty. I had one mounted here.

Weird design. Add some rebar in there if you have it to break it up a little bit. I'd say do it one solid stain

A for effort, D for building materials. Pallets are nasty. This is outdoor only right? The design looks odd as hell but you seem to have done a good job putting it together.

I planned for the flashing at stage one. Otherwise any look from 60'' will reveal the random craftsmanship.

>>1281101
You are retarded-- special, I mean.

>>1281109
Let me tell you something kid-- hips don't lie, AND It's made out of free wood. Fuck you and your rebar.

It looks like a woman, baby.

Stay with the flashing. It hides the joining of the leggs to the tables underside which is more aestheticly pleasing. I personally love dark stains, so maybe go with that.

I don't understand the kinks in the legs. Seems like an unnecessary point of weakness, unless the most you'll be doing on it is electronics/very light duty work. Avoid the skirting IMO, if you later want to hang a vice or something under it you'll have timber in the way, and unless it's helping to reinforce the structure (which it does not appear to be) it's unnecessary weight.

Since the table looks like hammered shit, brown is the obvious stain choice.

I like how you're compromising the structural integrity of the table (?) with your weird-ass design.

he's right though, they're nasty. have you ever worked in a grocery store? and that isn't even the worst of noxious shit that ends up leaking into pallet wood.
