Pallets.

[jansman]

As many here may know from my posts, my builder friends drop off wood for my burners. Today John dropped off a dozen pallets, and there are more to come. These are good clean ones. I use stripped down pallets for greenhouse staging, compost heaps, animal housing, outhouse shelving etc etc. the remnants will go in the burner.
With timber prices only going up, this is a useful resource. Do a search for pallets and there are liads of ideas.

take care before letting someone drop a job lot of pallets off as many now have plastic pallet blocks and plastic toe and heal boards especially Chepp pallets

These are all wood Andy. I am aware of the ones you speak of. Thankyou.

I have been bombarding my friends about this but none seem to get them...

There useful for building nice furniture if you have the time, although it does help if you have a plank thicknesser and a biscuit machine to speed the process of making sheets faster.

I have the above equipment metatron. Some years ago when we were poor newly weds, I made some kitchen cupboards from pallets. Planed and glued as boards. We had them up to a couple of years ago. We have a flash new kitchen now. Looking at some photos yesterday, my lovely Wife said she preferred the 'rustic ' look of our old kitchen.
Nowt like women changing their minds.

I have visions of cookie cutters being hammered through wood

Can here the bad language as the thicknesser blades meet a missed nail / staple / stone

I see a huge amount outside a warehouse and emailed to ask if they return them ( Always had to years ago) Then fella said feel free to take as many as you want.

I want to make raised beds with them.

Anyone know if they will fit into a Polo 5 door? dont want to look a pr*t trying to fit them in and they wont go
