How To Make A Better Strawberry Pallet Planter Over the past year I've come across scores of diy pallet projects, some of them intriguing and others not quite there yet but still having potential. One that I see time and again is the idea of using a single wooden pallet as a strawberry planter. Filled with soil and with plants inserted in the gaps they're usually leaned up against a wall but sometimes bolted on to keep from tumbling over. It's a clever idea but I've steered away from trying it myself because I suspect that they'll require constant watering and erosion control and also because I'm not convinced that they'll work long term. Still I was interested in the idea and with the gift of eight pristine wooden pallets, I started scouring the internet looking for alternative tutorials. First of all, choosing pallets for diy projects involves a bit of know-how. To help you find the right type of pallet for your project I've put together a diagram of what to look for when you spot one. You will need the following materials:

Buyer's Guide To Woodworking Chisels (5/13) | Wood And Shop Buy 4+ Bench Woodworking Chisels The first woodworking chisels that I recommend that you purchase are bench chisels. Bench chisels are the most common type of woodworking chisels because you use them for so many woodworking tasks. They’re called bench chisels because they’re usually on your workbench, just like “bench planes”. Bench chisels can either have beveled edges or normal, flat edges. You can either buy a wood chisel set with five to ten bevel-edge bench chisels, or acquire different antique bench chisels in the common sizes. I have purchased many antique woodworking chisels, and the quality of steel is almost always superior to what comes in modern woodworking chisels. Unless you can afford a high-end set of new chisels from some of these new tool makers (Lie-Nielsen chisels, Veritas chisels, Blue Spruce chisels, Narex Richter chisels, etc.), I’d recommend that you try and piece together some antique bench chisels, in useful sizes for furniture making.

DIY Wooden Dome Built From Pallets Like this article? Share it: Designed by Gianluca Stasi of the philosophical architecture firm Ctrl + Z, this playfully artistic dome serves as more than just a backyard focal point. In collaboration with research teams looking to help alleviate the cost issues associated with making more room for expanding households in poor populations, Stasi envisioned a geodesic dome made from pallet plywood as a cheap and practicable way to add onto a house. With a few simple measurements and plenty of pallet plywood, a team of near-novices can cut, hammer, and assemble an entirely new living space or garden shed into existence in a day or two. Made from hexagonal subsections (which in turn are made from precisely-cut pallet pieces), the addition is quite simple to assemble in a sweeping lattice structure. The dome is eye-catching and even sculptural in form, a standout structure in a region of traditional, need-bound household architecture. Ctrl + Z Arquitectura Reversible Please Leave a Comment

Paracord Laced Pallet, Hanging Chair Stuff you will need- Tools: Drill Saw Lighter Sawzall (optional) Materials: Paracord Pallet (I was able to get by with just one but it all depends on how much usable wood you can get off of each pallet) I used pallet wood because it is hardwood and free but, as with all treated wood, you need to use precaution when handling this wood. I used paracord because it is small yet strong and does not stretch as much as other ropes. Man creates a crow bar to dismantle pallets with a breeze (Video) Video posted by YellowLabWoodworks's channel about a tool he built to help him easily pry apart pallets for recycling into woodworking projects. This custom made pry bar not only saves time with breaking apart pallets but it is also easy on the wood giving a greater yeild of usable wood per pallet. No more busting pallets apart with hammer and prybar. He has used this prybar on pallets of all types of woods and nails. The working part of the prybar supports both sides of the deckboard and the tube fulcrum easily rolls ontop of the stringers. via Youtube Related articles in DIY Recent articles

From simple shelving to mini barns for goats, projects around the homestead that can easily be completed with pallets abound.
