Wood Pallet Projects shows how anyone can upcycle salvaged pallet wood to create truly one-of-a-kind furniture and accessories!

  • Inspirational gallery of pallet project ideas, highlighting everything from furniture and planters to office spaces and room dividers
  • Step-by-step instructions for a chair, picture frame, boxes, entry caddy, coffee table, outdoor loveseat, birdhouse, ukulele, and more
  • More than 250 color photos to walk you through the projects and inspire your creativity
  • Important advice on pallet safety, where to find pallets, and how to process them into usable lumber, plus fasteners, sanding, and finishing

Maverick craftsman Chris Gleason combines sound woodworking techniques with a hip designer's sensibility to unleash the limitless possibilities of the common skid!

Inside Wood Pallet Projects, you'll find inspired projects for rescuing and repurposing pallets. Some of his pieces celebrate the rough, edgy character of the material, while others are crafted as fine furniture. He shows how to construct both indoor and outdoor furniture in a variety of styles, along with other useful items such as a birdhouse, a toolbox, and even a ukulele!

Lumber prices are soaring, and deforestation is a rising concern. Yet millions of pounds of perfectly usable wood are dumped in landfills every year. Wood Pallet Projects will show you how to upcycle salvaged pallet wood to create truly one-of-a-kind projects.

There's plenty of nitty gritty here on working with pallets, including where to find them, how to process them into usable lumber, fasteners, sanding, and the best finishes (if any) to use. Chris also provides important advice on how to make sure that your pallets are safe, not sprayed with harmful chemicals.

A colorful gallery of finished work provides further inspiration for green crafting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Starter Book for Reusing, Repurposing and Recycling Pallets!
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2013

When I got this book earlier this week, I have to admit I was a tad bit disappointed because at first glance, it seemed sparse as to ideas, the number of projects and instructions. But as I delved further into the book, the more substance to it I saw. Chris Gleason covers this subject very thoroughly, from choosing the right kind of pallets to be used (there are certain pallets to be avoided, for those have been chemically treated and therefore not safe for use indoors; others are too splintery or full of nails to be safely worked with, etc.), to taking them apart for your projects, the tools to use,with an in-depth overview of what to use and what they're used for and so on.

Furthermore, Mr. Gleason provides several projects in the book with detailed, concise step-by-step instructions and lists of materials needed for each project, such as a mirror frame, a coffee table, an outdoor loveseat, chair, and even an ukele! He also peppers the book with interesting factoids such as, "Old pallets can be ground up to make insulation, landscaping mulch, and construction materials", or "Due to sustainable logging practices, the number of newer trees each year exceeds the number of harvested trees".

I also love the photos of various objects that were made with wood pallets, such as an accent ceiling, bed headboards, wall art and others that are creative and meant to inspire. And inspire they have... I am itching to get going on some of these projects, and so will you. This is a must-read if you're wanting to make things for your home and garden easily and very cheaply.

Overall, there is good info in this book. Working with pallets requires a lot of 'sweat equity' and decent wood working skills. The author is an experienced wood worker so your first pallet projects will likely not turn-out as polished as his! :)

Lots of great pictures and step-by-step instructions.

From the photos on the front of the book, you would think that the projects shown would be in the book.. Some of them are, but not all of them. The ones that I was most interested in were not. Just pictures inside with no instructions on how to assemble them. I'm not an idiot as far as trying to figure out how they were done, but I think it's a little missleading.

1.0 out of 5 stars Totally Useless.

Are you kidding me with this book? Why not put things on the cover that you help someone learn how to build instead of things that other people built and have nothing to do with the book itself? Listen, folks, if you do not have the skill to figure out how to MAKE A BOX out of pallets, then you probably want to rethink trying to make things out of pallets. The fact of the matter is that is essentially all this book gives you - repeated directions on how to build a box....or a ukulele. The coffee table is a little more complicated, but that's it. Why not publish the directions for that Adirondack chair? I didn't want to download something off thw internet - I wanted to pay someone for their expertise, but thw internet it is! Save your cash for a different book. Skip this one.
