Chicago griller Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 So during winter I do snow plowing and since there has been only a couple days of actual work I am strapped on money... I started looking at my pallets that I had lying around and looked through my tool box and found some screws and here we are... this is only the first day. I still need to sand, coat, add casters, a bottom shelf and a leaf on each side to turn into an eating table when needed.

pr0wlunwoof Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 If your going to keep it outside you gotta put a good coat of sealant on it and possibly cover when possible. Pallet wood just doesn't last long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike echo Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 I Like. In my quest to find low cost wood, I tried pallet wood for some projects. -spent much time tearing the pallets apart, not an easy task, low useable wood yield. I went back to bought wood mostly for wood consistency. My tools and my back are much happier. M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago griller Posted January 30, 2020 Author Share Posted January 30, 2020 I will be sealing it only if it comes out the way I like. I agree pallet wood wouldn't have been my first choice. But so far I have spent no money, which was my ultimate goal here. I already had tools and screws. I'll buy foldable hinges if it comes out pretty decent. In the future I can always take those off and put them on more sturdy wood if I want. I'll update once I have both leafs done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndg_2000 Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 There is nothing wrong with pallet wood if you have the time to spend on the deconstruction of the pallets. I made my wood store/prep table out of it and it's great . TKOBBQ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
