The Pallet Book - by Chris Peterson (Paperback)

About the Book

The ubiquitous wooden pallet is good for much more than cross-country shipping! The Pallet Book gives it new life in home and garden woodworking projects.

Book Synopsis

Upcycle that unwanted wood!

Join home improvement author Chris Peterson for a complete guide to deconstructing and repurposing pallets to serve a new purpose. From quick and easy builds like a bird house and a wall clock to more complex projects like a garden cold frame and a kitchen island, there's something for everyone--and every pallet. Some projects, like the raised bed, showcase the pallet. For others, like the side table, you'd be hard-pressed to guess the wood was free. Peterson also dishes out must-have pallet knowledge, including the basic tools for breakdown, finish options, and key information on pallet safety.

Projects Include:

• Cold Frame
• Workbench
• Child's Sandbox
• Coat Rack and Shelf
• Shoe Shelves
• Bookshelves
• Kitchen Island
• Bar Stools
• Dog House
• Desk
• And much more!
