    I saw a guy make the bench on a tv programme a few years ago so no credit to me except for the back.

    The storage box is a plain enough item but I badly need somewhere handy to store all the sheets I use for frost protection. We get frost to early May in Tipperary. I envy those living by the coast, they sow earlies in Feburary.

    Will post a picture when it is stained up and has handles on it. bogged down cutting wood at the moment, fuel running low this time of year.

    No expert that looks great - sure your not an expert - they don't even look like pallet planks nicely sanded was that a power sander?

    Thanks KEF my hand still sore

    Perks of having a workshop at work. Beltsander, orbital sander and chop saw make it easier.

    Happy Planter - line it with black plastic.  This will stop chemicals leaching and also protect the wood from moisture in the soil so it will last longer.

    Hello all

    Here is an update of my pallet projects this is for a strawberry raised planter

    Started like this below I had already took off the blocks and the back planks few days before

    This is one bit cut off I divided it up into 3 pieces to get front, back and two sides

    Here it is laid out when I finished cutting up the three sections

    With the sides cut to size

    This is it put together, I sawed up a plank and a half - down the middle in half to attach to the bottom to make sure the planter has more supported

    I am going to paint it some when - the rain is stopping that
