To understand how big must be a table, you can focus on the size of the books, which are supposed to be stored in it. For example, a table on the photo is designed for four different units at the book, and each department is slightly larger than the size of the books, it was convenient to get them.

In this table, the pallet boards arranged horizontally and vertically, but you can do things differently, as you like. four dosochki used for the top, and they just stand for the table border.

When you decide on the size and number of boards, you need to saw off them and grind each to the edges abut one another. For sanding use a piece of wood wrapped in sandpaper.

The photo upper table is made with horizontal boards, which are interconnected lamellae. When the two upper sides are ready, you fasten them to the bottom of the bolts.

In the second, the upper section of the separator do - another sheet of plywood is inserted between the lamellae (or rails, if you connect the horizontal rails of the board). After that, left to tie the table cover.
