I'm going back and forth on the doors! I am actually going to try and upload a latest pic in just a little bit (a little bit extra finish work has been done)Very nice! Are you planning to add doors or leave it open? At some point you can walk us through how you prepped the wood (broke down the pallets, removed nails, etc.) - good work!
Here is the link to my sons build. It is more in depth and has a ton more pics related to building the stand.You may want to check out @Eagle_Steve 's setup where he has pictures of his stands and the awesome doors! I'll let him post the link to his thread, but it is very nice.
There is a trick to taking them apart.Looks really nice. I love pallet wood but hate taking them apart lol. I've use fence pickets for a lot of projects. They are often 1.47 or less.
There is a trick to taking them apart.
Use a rubber mallet to loosen the boards just a little.
Sawzaw with fire and rescue demo blade is your friend.
Start with the pallet standing up and then cut the nails holding the slats to the 2x4s on either side.
From there you can wiggle the boards some to lossen them more.
Use the sawzaw to cut those nails while holding the boards and saw at a slight angle.
Gravity with a Demon fire and rescue blade is all the force needed to cut any pallets nails. Even 16 penny nails are butter for it.
Once you get the hang of it, you can strip a pallet in under a minute.
I need to make a video of doing it lol. If I did that though, I would prob lose a finger lol.Thanks for the tips. I think have tried most of the ways that don't work!!! ;Meh
