Wxm 1,638 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 just came across these on fb and tell you what theres some really nice pieces out of old pallets https://www.(!64.56:886/palletprojects/photos https://www.(!64.56:886/Repalet?ref=hl Anyone done anything smart out of pallets? :hmm: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moxy 617 Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Some good pieces there mate but there will be some work involved bringing the pallets up to a workable standard. Respect to the fellas who are breaking them up and pulling the ring shank nails out for fun!! But to produce a nice sideboard or like must be rewarding. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wxm 1,638 Posted July 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 i like their determination to produce a usefull item out of something thats you have thought only has 1 use as a whole. i like these out of old case's, i think it would look well in the kids room filled with books and toys. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The one 8,577 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 My old boy fenced his entire garden in with pallets took ages but he stuck at it and after it was painted it looked the business Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackbriar 8,569 Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 I built a 8X6 shed mostly out of pallets - salvaged a door and some windows from a double glazing firm - all I bought was roofing felt. Routed the planks to tongue and groove into each other, and they made a really solid floor and watertight walls. Salvaged timber for the uprights and I even managed to re-use some of the ring nails! Hard work, but seriously rewarding - whole thing probably cost me less than 30 quid !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
