You gotta love free wood

You gotta love free wood

Last week I found some hardwood pallets in the pallet dump at the end of our road. I couldn't fit them in the car so I went home and got my Pallet Bust'ah and bought home about 8 pallets worth of wood. I figured I'd take a break from renovations to build something.

Re: Hey!

I learned to sew on one of those Singers, only because manual mode was more fun than the motor my dad added. Fancy actions were back-n-forward. Can't remember if it had a zig-zag, or multiple side action. 

I have tried to reuse pallets but the staples were way too hard to remove.

Re: Hey!

I use a 'Pallet Buster' and a Nail driver hooked up to my compressor. 

I broke down 10 pallets that day and removed the nail in about an hour.
