Aquarium Pallet Table - With Wheels

Inspired by pallet tables, I decided to make one for my turtle's aquarium.
Cost: around 80 Euros (wheels, primer, lacquer)

Prepare Pallet

Cut the pallet to desired dimensions. Aquarium is 60x 60 cm. Table is 67x67.
Sand sand sand, depending on how smooth you want it to be. I didn't spend too much time with this step.

Primer and Lacquer Time

Clean the sand (I used a vacuum cleaner and a wet cloth) and apply 1 coat of primer. Let it dry (10 hours it said on the primer's can).
Apply 1-2 coats of lacquer. I used an exterior lacquer, as I will use the table outside during warm seasons.

Mark the positions, pre-drill and mount the wheels.

Done!

Clean the aquarium and the turtle for the final photo-session and place it on its very nice table.
