I will add photos tomorrow for you all to see have painted the bench too summer damson Cuprinol garden shades - I really like the garden shades adding so much colour to the garden
I took the planks off moved them next to each other and sawed it smaller
Left the blocks on, - with all the blocks I have been collecting from other pallets
I decided to stack them make them into the legs
Sawed up some planks left over and used them to join the legs together with clamps and lots of nails put in, wanted all the blocks level at the front and back view of the bench
Nailed them together to the bench top which had the 1st block joined to the top so 6 blocks attached in six places
This is how it ended up looking then I sanded it down
Using the coarse sanding block in pic above. - that is the saw I have been using on all the pallet projects
This is how it looks now painted Cuprinol garden shades summer damson, I wanted to not paint the blocks so it still had a bit of the pallet look
In the picture is the strawberry planter painted maple leaf green still need to sort the liner out yet and buy the compost
Looks brilliant Gg. Had the same idea for the legs of the garden table i'm making.
Was thinking of making a 5/6 foot tall tool store suitable for use on an alottment.Just to see how it might look and might be of help to new alotmenteers what do you think?
If anyone lives near Leicester, and wants some pallet wood but either can'd be bothered to take them apart or doesn't have any hanging around I discovered this place over the holidays, I got a bootful of wood for future projects :
They are a community run place that collects and sells recycled wood. They do packs of pallet wood for £3.50 for 10 planks. They also have various sizes of scaffold planks. And if you're not near Leicester, these are other places UK wide
