My sisters gift

Christmas present for my father. Im not gonna stain or seal it cause he might have a theme so will let him do that. Loving my new laser engraver.

I pull out thousands of nails from old wood and it seems like such a waste to throw them out. Other than reusing some of the better condition nails as nails has anyone found a better use for old nails?

Made from a mix of recycled wood, (the lighter wood being from pine pallets) and second hand speaker stands.

The coat turned more yellow than I would like and theyre a bit wobbly but a few new skills were learned and technques improved

Shelves and top made from pallet wood.

Hello!

I have a quick question regarding pallet types for our deliveries to Costco DC. We’ve been using CHEP pallets, as required by Costco for receiving products. However, I’ve heard that pallets marked with "WG" may also be acceptable for delivery to Costco, and I wanted to confirm if this is true.

Does anyone know if "WG" marked pallets are valid for Costco deliveries?

Thank you!

These wood looks so gorgeous after planed! Planning to make a small table out of them (there are more pieces not shown). Would be great if someone can shine some light on what species they are

I posted not too long ago about making my own pallet bed, I full went for it and after about 48 hrs I brought inside only to look at the lay out, it wasn't in my room for more than an hr before I took I it out to continue curing. Now however, I'm incredibly frustrated by the lingering (horrendous) scent left behind on my mattress. And once again it was on the pallets for no more than an hour. How on earth do I get this scent out its been 2 days, I keep the windows open but it gets cold so I shut them and goodness it's awful.

I'd like to build bee hive boxes with pallet wood, but they are usually 3/4 inch wide, while most pallet boards are about 1/2 inch wide.

Would it be advisable to glu up flat boards of pallet wood and then glue two boards over each other? Then plane them to he right thickness? If so, should the boards be glued with the grain in the same direction, or one of the boards rotated 90 degrees?

How about cutting the pallet planks into 3/4 strips and then gluing those on top of each other instead? So it would be a glue-up of 3/4 inch strips instead of two boards glued together. Would that be better?

How about the cost of exterior waterproof glue? Generally, is this project advisable, or nah?

Thanks for your input & suggestions.

Please someone help. I have 4 pallets, from what I can see three say HT and the other has no markings. I got it from outdoors. I have been reading a lot of good and bad reviews. A lot of people talk about spiderwebs, bugs, mold and critters while others say they've slept on theirs for years with no issues other than dust and banging their shins. The whole thing is freaking me out bad. I want to do this project very badly but I don't want to risk the factors above. I keep my windows open but they have a very tight screen (I can't stand not having fresh air), I live in Arizona so it's super dry with little rain other than monsoon season, but I just don't know if I should do this given that the Internet has gotten in my head about living with mold, termites, ants, spiders, and other critters under my potential bed. What do I do? Any advice on how to safely do this? And are these just the fears of the internet and people who have never done it before or are these personal stories and experiences saying hell no?

Anyone with information on Agropur pallets? Wood is usually quite nice and easy to take apart. Agropur is a dairy company in Canada that seems to be environmentally responsible but cannot find any information on chemical treatment online. And none of the usual markings/grading on any of the pallets. Any info appreciated, thanks.

Is there any chance that anybody here has experience using fabric paint on pallets used for outdoor projects? And if so, how did it hold up? I'm sure I'll strike out, but I won't KNOW until I ask🫣

I’m putting a pallet dining table together. Daughter wants it a very dark stain. Can you recommend a good dark stain or process you like that would handle the ware of a dining table? Something that will not be stained by water rings or foods and also hold up with wiping it down with wet rags?

Hypothetical here: if you had access to some HT 5' pallet boards, most likely 3/4" thick, would they be suitable for use on a fence? Not just slapping them on, but actually sanding and sealing them as well.

Posts would be bought, I could probably get ahold of fairly long 2x4s as well for the panel attachments.

Made this a few months back had it set up in the house but there wasn't enough room so it's found a more permanent home In the garage. It's made fully from pallet stretchers.
