Saw eight of the bottom boards to the length that you want for your table legs.

Set the long sides of the two boards together so that they form a 90-degree angle. This will be one of four table legs. Clamp these boards together.

Drill a 1/16-inch pilot hole through the boards every four inches.

Screw the pieces of the leg together with 2-inch wood screws.

Set the remaining pallet upside-down, then stand the leg in the corner against the side board.

Drill three pilot holes in a triangle shape through the side of the leg and into the pallet's side board. Screw the leg to the pallet with more wood screws.

Repeat Steps 4 through 8 for the remaining three legs.
