Pallet projects

I love pallet projects because they're a great way to divert wood from landfill, and you can often create spectacular and unexpected pieces. And best of all the wood is free! Nearly every time I leave the house I see a discarded pallet either in a skip or just lying on the side of the road. So keep your eyes peeled and I'm sure you'll find one sooner or later.

Dark wood hallway organiser
My wife loves soil. I’m not so keen, but I do like the pallets it gets delivered on. And I used one of these to make this hallway organiser. In fact I used this same pallet to make a few...
