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. Man, I didn't want to know this. I reused some extremely old pallets to build a rabbit/turkey house (neither animal do I have now because of coyotes) anyhow, I never thought the wood might have been treated in a way that I should use it for such purposes. That pallet wood is so old an left to weathering that I broke many screws trying to put it together it was ridiculous. Things out here don't rot, they petrify.

I'm not the crafty type but what you guys are doing is freaking great. Keep posting pics of your work, inspiring stuff. "Withdrawing in disgust is not the same as apathy"	Posted by Hardlicker on Nov 1, 2013, 1:08:30 AM Quote this Post
Not the kind of wood one would expect to see on the internet. Too ordinary.

What were you expecting? I got some Eastern Black Walnut you can have. Also Hickory, Oak, Pine, Spruce, Elm, Birch, several types of Maple and who knows what else. (I've never actually seen my entire property. It's mostly heavy woods) Want some? Come on over and cut it down. Edit: Spoiler I live about a mile east of this bridge.

Oh man that is so damn sexy. Will you coat it? You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and there’s still going to be somebody who hates peaches.	Posted by Velocireptile on Nov 7, 2013, 11:02:02 PM Quote this Post
Thanks! Probably so. Two slats have paint on them and the coating I looked at said all paint must be removed. I sanded for a while on those and barely made a dent. Will be going to Home Depot to ask them soon.

I see someone is watching a particular youtube channel about woodworking and likes the designs shown there. Good stuff but I prefer Steve Ramsey. Be ready. You're not paranoid, you're PREPARED. I quit this game every few months and so should you to continue playing it in the future.
