i had some pallets and wood laying around and my partner asked me to make a bench fr us for the front of the house.....so i set about cutting a screwing the bits together....gave it a quick lick of paint with sadolin wood preserve and this is how it turned out.....i used the one we already had to give me an idea of heights etc.....one thing left to do on it which is a brace bar....all in a days work...lol....

Very nice job...we have a few pallets destined to be turned into something useful.

I love pallets...:)

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!
