Pallet for Home

Hello Readers!

Child safety time! Yes, my youngest of 7 months found the stairs (no child was harmed in the making of this blog...) so I decided it was time to build a safety gate! This project was made from wood that someone was throwing away, but mostly pallet wood. Yep, they threw away perfectly good wood... Like it was worthless or something!!! As always, enjoy!

P.S. Can you spot the evil cat! His name is Carl, and he is undoubtedly evil!

Hello Readers!

This was another project that my wife asked me to build for her (seems to be a trend... yes...). To replace an old ratty hanging cubbie storage for my oldest daughters closet (nightmare) situation (totally messed up and unorganized pile of good toys and clothes...). I used some warped wood pallets to build this project to give it life of its own, and it shows! Well done me!... or is it the wife that should be thanked? Probably... Enjoy!

Well my wife asked for these, so I built them for her so I could satisfy her request. Pretty simple really, I took a whole pallet and cut it in half and then hung them on the wall. As for the other shelves, those were to replace some laminated (BLAH!) shelves we had.

Hello Readers!

I'm on vacation! So now I will share some projects I have been working on and have completed recently! Check out the self designed pallet wood highchair for my daughter who was 6 months old when I built it (she is 7 months old now), and we use it daily. As you will see from these images, the chair is made completely of pallet wood and contains an ornament duck on the back. I am very happy with how this came out in the end. This project took me one week to complete, having worked patiently on one part at a time each day. My wife asked me not to post pictures with the baby sitting in it on the internet, so I will be a good husband and abide by her request. Enjoy and comment below!

Hello all,

I have been working with pallets a lot lately and I thought to myself "what if folks want to do this too?"

So I decided to share what I found to be the best way to remove a board from the pallet without destroying the pieces.

Step 1: Cut the boards off of the top of the pallet.
