Pallets are so so useful. We do not have a free supplier but we buy very good ones for 75p each and find them really good for keeping pots and bags off the floor etc. You have some brilliant uses for yours and you have made some good items.
The reward of a thing well done is to have done it....

Julian? He's a real babe magnet! 8) He looks out on a riverside walk, and attracts lots of female attention!
He has a solar brain implant, so his eyes light up at night! :ohmy:

That is so inspiring, wish I had a) pallets, and b) DIY ability
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...

Lovely stuff -- not sure quite where the love affair with pallets comes from -- is this just proof of Darwin's theory of evolution -- from caves and the need to paint on the walls to hunter gatherer to pioneers and log cabins and now pallet man ?

Sometimes it's just easier to run the circular saw over them and have smaller boards.
You cut the outers off then lever the boards off the middle.

I forgot to add a pic the bags of firewood I produce from uncooperative pallets! I can sell every bit!
I ease them apart and hacksaw the nails, then I have an axe and a fourteen pound sledge hammer! :ohmy:
