I doubt that is me since I keep it in my backyard.


And wow... just read the rest of this thread and had a good laugh.

I am going to give the pallets one more try. If it is too much then ill just chop it up and use it for fire wood in my pit this winter.

I do realize I can buy cheap wood for the things I need it for, but I just had access to FREE pallets, so thought I would try to use them.

I do appreciate all the input though. Oh and I would never have taken this to the OT. I skim through the OB every time I'm online. Read everything but the hunting threads. FYI.

I have some old pallets by the barn. I'm going burn them before Mrs Dust sees something on Pinterest about them.

DO IT

They are such a pain to work with. I am leaning more and more towards buying some wood from HD, sanding them and staining them and doing my projects with that.

I love on all these DIY sites they leave out the part about taking apart these pallets that are stapled together. Last weekend I ended up scraping my shin and bleeding, now have an ugly scab.

I brought some home from our shop and after breaking a few apart i scrapped that idea and decided to just build our coffee table out of off the shelf construction lumber.

No joke. Seems like it would make it a lot more fun by taking out the pain in the azz part and allow one to spend the time doing what they enjoy.

Very late to this and I ain't reading it all. I'm sure it's been said, but sawzall the nails holding the slats to the runners. If the nail heads are in the way punch them out with a nail punch or 16P nail.

I made a dog house for the dog out of a pallet from work and some plywood I already had. Stupid bastard would rather stand in the rain than go in there. I keep screaming, "ITS YOUR HOME DOG GO IN YOUR frickING HOME!"

Can't get one bitch in and can't get the bitch out, right? JK
Read a little more of this thread. Buy the frickin' wood and womenz are rather silly.
