    Made a table-top today as a prototype for a community cafe.  Legs tomorrow, and I'll take  a pic.  We'll need about 20 altogether and a counter!

    Is there an easy way to take the pallets apart?

  • KEF here is a lot of ideas in link     will be doing a similar sort of thing but to hide a water butt for the station so none of it gets stolen

  • Got another few pallets and some good pallet thick planks for the legs on the benches that I will be making

    Will be going for more pallets soon even though have a few that need making into benches, cold frames and more  - really wish I had a dry sheltered area to build stuff

    We collected 16 pallets from the local builders' merchant this afternoon and I've spent a merry couple of hours taking them to bits.  Cafe tables to follow.

  • Edd would need more pallets for a shelter but no room for one in garden - is that your shed?

    like that shed mine will be smaller 6 foot by 6 foot, have collected all the shed pallets all numbered and marked to if they are top layer or bottom layer -  lots needs to be done when building it  and will take a while as no shelter over that

    Edd how are your projects going?

    Yep. 

    We picked them up in my friends' Berlingo and trailer; they have a garage-sized workshop where we've stacked them up and I'll be working in there in the next couple of weeks dismantling them.   Then the curate knows someone who has a workshop with a planing machine, so once the bits are all dry we'll smooth them off and then I can start remantling them.
