The project

Working with recycled pallets is fun and can be easy, depending on what project you tackle. For this project, I built a bench seat using recycled pallet timber, with hidden storage underneath the seat and a planter box on each side.

One tip for working with pallets is to make sure each plank is straight and not bowed as the majority of them can be. As I don't have a lot of power tools – a table saw or planer would make life so much easier – I do my best to check that all the planks match up, and give the pieces a real good sand back.

Good luck and give it a go.
