Pallet Creations
In this category I will share my pallet wood creations. I have only recently got into this recycling wooden pallets and creating something useful out of something that would otherwise be destined to be burnt! I have no formal woodworking skills and rely largely on my imagination and the wonderful University that is Youtube.
Palletwood Coasters
New small batch of coasters off the bench. We are pleased with these. Have used slightly thicker and softer wood for these. So got a nice deep burn and good grain exposure. Shalini as always did the colouring using the Intrinsic Colours by Hampshire Sheen. Palletwood coasters in various colours and styles Can be made […]
Palletwood Block Tealight Holders
We have been working on some palletwood block tealight holders and have regularly shared pictures of the progress on Instagram. Well now now we can share some completed examples. They started out as pallet blocks. Nails that couldn’t be removed were hammered deeper below the surface. I cleaned up the end grain on the table […]
Colourful Incense Burners

Pallet Under Bench Storage Cupboard on Castors
This pallet wood under bench storage cupboard was built back in April of this year to go under one of Shalini’s workbenches. The criteria was that it should be on castors so it could easily be moved about, fit comfortably under her workbench and have two doors. I had never tackled anything this ambitious before […]
Workbench Lighting Surrounds using Pallet Wood
A need arose for new workbench lighting surrounds for Shalini’s work area! Over Christmas 2018 we completely rebuilt Shalini’s work area for her Copper Smith work. This comprised new benches and a big rearrangement of her layout of tools and equipment etc. On completion of all of this Shalini realised that the current lighting set […]
Making Log Stores out of Shiping Pallets
Easy Log Stores From Shipping pallets Making quick and easy Log Stores from Shipping Pallets was I think my first ever project using pallets. I needed an affordable way of storing my logs that would be easy to build. The Log Stores would also have to provide maximum air flow around the logs while they […]
