Let me start by saying i am in no way a carpenter but i do enjoy being self sufficient and try to diy as much as possible. I've recently become somewhat obsessed with repurposing pallets. This new house is a perfect blank slate for projects so here's what I've been up to. it started with a simple tp holder/magazine rack thing. Was fairly simple. Would love to see your pallet repurposes or even here some ideas for my next project.

Nice. We have a nice covered patio now and I've talked about a wrap around bench just like that. Probably won't do the colorful seats tho. I like the rustic broke down look of the plain pallets. Maybe stain them for weather protection.

Your guys stuff is nice. I have no craftsmanship skills. But I made a nice compost bin with some zip ties.

Besides storing firewood on them, and bags of dirt/coco/soil on them, I like burning them

That looks like a good way to get splinters in your towel and then in your dick, but I like it anyways.

Keep a sharp eye out; sometimes pallets are made from oak, low grade mahogany (shipments from Asia) that clean up quite well.

Definitely want to see that! I've been pretty busy with work and haven't done much else with the pallets. Once the yard is all put together and spring passes I'll have some extra time to finish some projects. I'm an 8 half finished projects laying around kind of guy lol.

Idk if you're joking but most pallets are treated with some seriously dangerous chemicals. You do not want to breathe that shit.

You honestly think a regular piece of wood can sit outside and not decompose? Not to mention whatever else it soaks up from leaks or spills.
