Reclaimed wood project (Updated)
 Done! Suffered only a cut right thumb and smashed to heck left index finger. Could have been worse. "Man, it's like we're fighting housewives and their equipment." - Millennium Last edited by txfirefighter on Nov 7, 2013, 10:48:40 PM

This arouses me
You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world,
and there’s still going to be somebody who hates peaches. |

Not measuring e-peen. Just sharing a cool common interest :D
My first Pallet recycling. Didn't have a plan, just wanted to make a box to keep tools in. 100% Pallet, except the rope and nails which I purchased.   This bad boy was then coated in Stain/Oil? (im a noob at this) it soaked in and now its weather proof. But its not glossy. A usual Haul.  Current project:  The legs and base are old fence posts. The top is a Water Bed I got for free on GumTree (Australian online trading post thing) In the middle there will be succulents. It's a bar table for my sister in law that just moved out, she's a bit of a green thumb (theres old PVC pipe in the middle cut out) Sorry I don't have better progress photos, these are just pics I took when someone wanted to see where I was up to.

I am so jealous. I haven't touched my tools in two years due to working nights.
Soon I'all be back in days, but winter is coming and I don't have room in the house to work on projects. So another six months of wishful thinking. |

I hope you are aware of the dangers of reclaimed wood, a lot of pallets have dangerous treatments done to them and are unsuitable for reuse.
wikipedia quote: " Watch out for MB, never use pallets without the IPPC logo, always wear a mask or respirator when woodworking. Edit: I can see in the first picture that your coffee table was heat treated, but believe me that some of those pallets are non-recyclable garbage. Last edited by ionface on Oct 31, 2013, 5:48:56 AM

 Another project. Cedar side table. Also have a horse trough planter box but its hidden so I couldn't take a pic. So thats what the HT meant. Any other way to tell if one is treated with the chemical? Great pics everyone! This is a new hobby for me and these are fun to look at and get ideas from.
