All you need is a pallet, 8 screws, a rope and 4 eyes. Remove the pan first. To make a countertop, cut four boards from a pallet 45 cm long (you may need to cut them slightly depending on the width of the planks) to use under the countertop as supports. After that, align so that the boards fit snugly against each other. Place the two parts vertically, at the same distance from each other. Pallets come in different sizes, so you have to adjust the length of the screws accordingly. When finished, drill holes for the screws, but be careful not to drill table top! Turn the table right side up and measure 2.5 cm from each edge. Drill a hole for attaching the eyes. Insert the eyes, cut and insert the ropes. At the end of each knot, leave a “tail” to wrap around the rope and make the mount more decorative. Level the table by tightening or releasing the ropes. Twist all four ropes into a triple knot.
