DIY Pallet Picture Frame that you can make!
Total time: 1-3hrs
Tools used
- Table saw with sled (could use hand saw and chisels)

- Router to make rabbet
Materials used

Like a lot of my projects, I like to use materials I have on hand. In this case, I used some oak pallet wood that I had laying around.
Step 1
You must remove all the nails and dirt from the pallet wood. Failure to do so can result in damage to your equipment or worse, yourself.
Step 2
Trim one edge using a straight line jig or use a hand plane to make one side perfectly straight.
Step 3
Trim to desired width, I chose 2in for my picture frame.
Step 4
Cut your lap joints using your table saw or chisel
Step 5
Glue up your lap joints
Step 6
Create rabbet for your glass to fit in using your router
Step 7
Optional sanding and finish. This is completely up to you!
Step 8
Enjoy your hard work! This can be made to any size you want just make sure you don't forget to account for the groove for the glass!
Cheers, Zach
