Often found abandoned at the back of factories, at dumps or even in skips, the humble pallet, for many practically minded people, represents a huge source of inspiration as well as a challenge. When skilfully broken down into timber and smartened up, they can be re-fashioned into beautiful chairs, tables, fences, gates, chicken arks, planters, sheds, decking, cladding and many other functional items. "Build It!...With Pallets", part of the "Build It!" series, illustrates the very best techniques for breaking down the pallets safely. The author then discusses the best ways to refurbish the wood and provides over 20 plans for tables, fences, chairs, planters and other items of indoor and outdoor furniture. This book is the ideal companion for those who views towers of pallets not as an eyesore but as an inspiration and an economical source of wood, making them the ultimate recycling solution.
