Wood Pallet Projects: Cool and Easy-to-Make Projects for the Home and Garden

Tables, chairs and other projects can be made from discarded wood pallets. Wood Pallet Projects combines sound woodworking techniques with a designer's sensibility to unleash the limitless possibilities of the common skid.

Some of the book's pieces celebrate the rough, edgy character of the material, while others are crafted as fine furniture. You'll learn to construct both indoor and outdoor furniture in a variety of styles, along with other useful items such as a birdhouse, a toolbox, and even a ukulele.

There's plenty of nitty gritty here on working with pallets, including where to find them, how to process them into usable lumber, fasteners, sanding, and the best finishes (if any) to use.

The author provides important advice on how to make sure that your pallets are safe, and not sprayed with harmful chemicals. A colorful gallery of finished work provides further inspiration for green crafting.

Inside you'll find 15 projects for upcycling ordinary pallet wood into chairs, tables, wine racks, workbenches and more. Paperback. Profusely illustrated with color photographs and dimensioned sketches. 127 pages 9” x 7 ½”.
