Sweetness! I really like the big dovetails! Great job.

ditto…just what i was thinking! ...and a beautiful, heck -of-a-lot-of-work finish!!
-seriously, how do you manage to make everything so perfect?
You must be very patient and diligent!

Very nice, I like the different stripes of wood glued together like that it gives the stand a lot of character. Your finishing on this is superb!

That is one substantial table! I like the finish you put on it – very nice! I wish I could luck into some pallet oak. All I’ve been finding are pine. But I shouldn’t complain because after planing them, I’ve been surprised by how nice they are. I’ve even found bird eye pine, if there is such a thing – very small quantity, but still very nice as far as crating pine are concerned.!

I am truly impressed with your work. Super job all around.

Where do you find this type of pallet?
Love the stand you made out of it and the good craftsmanship made it a very nice looking project.
Enjoy !

Thanks KIEFER

Thanks everyone.
I got the wood from a huge steel stamping plant just outside Chicago before I retired.
The plant manager was a real nice guy and he actually thanked me for taking it because they were paying $200 a week to have it taken away!
The pallets and crates they brought their rolls in were made from massive oak and other hardwoods.
It had to be strong to hold the huge steel rolls.
When their main stamping presses were operating, the ground shook half a block away!
It was a work out & a half taking the stuff apart! lol
This picture is about 1/10th of what I obtained. (that’s the truth)
I brought a lot of it down to Florida when I moved and have a larger amount stored at my brothers’ house back north. A lot of it is beat up, but most is usable for the small projects I cobble together in the garage/shop.
I’ll bring it down as I can.
Thanks again for your kind comments.

-- Eric

Great use of the pallet wood. You have made a beautiful stand to such perfection with fantastic finish. Nice pictures.

Wow! I never see that kind of pallet wood… just junk pine! That is a wonderful score!
And that little table ain’t so bad either ;-)
As Sheila said, the different shades in the wood look spectacular.

Great job reclaiming the lumber. It looks like it made for a very large tv. That design would work real good for a sitting bench.

Nice bench/table. That will come in handy on Sunday’s.
The only thing I would change is the GO BEARS, to GO VIKINGS.
