If you drive casually around the back of industrial units you see these pallets can sometimes be lying around. I worked for one such company years ago and they didn't know what to do with them so they left them outside the back door hoping someone would take 'em, and they did! But I do suggest you ask first just in case the company didn't leave 'em out to be taken. Then when you have collected some more, you then make more furniture, and then what you do is..........start up your own business!! And make millions €€€€! Ta-daa!

Well done, a great project!
