Pallet Bathroom Storage - VIDEO
The bathroom is one room in your home that hardly ever has enough storage space. We show a clever storage idea which you can use a laundry basket too. You need pallets and can easily create this cheap project. Have fun! :)
TUTORIAL Video
First Step to Take Apart the 4 Pallets:
Version A: help of hammer and chisel then remove all the rusty nails OR Version B: use an iron saw - faster but the rusty nails stay in the wood After that choose 8 pieces of 80cm (31,5 in) slat. Then, you need 40 pieces of 40 cm (15,7 in) and 2 pieces of 33cm (13 in) slat. You can saw the long - 120cm - slats in third and the other 80cm slats in half.
Polishing
The next step is polishing. Cut a piece of an abrasive paper - for easiest polishing, use a small slat. And for even easier polishing use grinding machine :)
Join the part of the storage sides, front and top. Leave 1,5cm (0,59 in) space by the top of the sides - it's approx. the thickness of a slat and place the 8 40cm slats well-proportioned. Then hammering nails into it in order to fix them. Repeat it by the front - but here need only 5 40 cm slats and must saw the rest.
The top: Need 4 slats 36cm (14,17 in) distance and here use the 2 slats,
that earlier saw. If you want position handle on the top too, it looks good :) For the bottom need 5 40cm (15,7in), for the inner side need 2*40cm (15,7in) and 2*33 cm (13in).
Painting
The next step is painting the surface of the parts with wood stain. We
chose a mahogany color, love it :) Wait till the parts dry completely (it depends on the wood stain)
Joint
Use square brackets to the joint - 3 pieces for each corner (for the
front 2 is enough). For the inner slats also use square brackets. Almost the last step, clinch the 5 slats onto the bottom then, position the caster wheels on it and fix them with screws.
Check the video tutorial, we hope will motivate you to "do it yourself". Have fun!
