DIY patio furniture - A project by shock6906

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Nice stuff! Too bad sandpaper, stain, and paint will put you over budget.
 
good work. Reminds me of projects I have seen Marines improvise with pallets. I wish I had photos of the benches we made by wedging two pallets together.
 
You got skills man. I would like to see what you would do if someone dropped a pine tree on your lawn.
 
Wow.... you are one bad mofo...That's freakin great work.
Truly talented working with wood (not the kind of wood HOUSE64 works on)....

If you were in So.Cal you could make some great side cash selling furniture like this around the Artsy district. Great way to recycle these pallets...


I currently have a pallet and will try to make the chair....lol... Hope you don't mind me copying your work...
 
Thanks, everyone! This is the kind of stuff I really enjoy doing.

I've had several people tell me I should look into producing more of this furniture and try to sell it. The more I hear it, the more I have to really give it consideration.

Go for it. You might need a second pallet, though. I've got about 7 or 8 pallets into what I've built so far.
 
Great stuff man, coming from another woodworker. I bet you have a fun little shop you're making all this in. I dig the rustic look to it. Another great place to find free pallets and other wood is on the 'free' section on Craigslist...if you're looking for more. Keep up the great work.

I wish I had a dedicated wood shop, but I do all of this in my two-car garage and driveway. Of course, I have to clean everything back up every afternoon so I can slide my Camaros back in there at night.

I have checked Craigslist for free pallets, and was happy to see that there are plenty to be had. Just gotta borrow my stepdad's truck and go get myself some more supplies now.

Since you're a fellow woodworker, would you care to share any pics of some of your creations?

Here's my DIY 300 gallon tank stand and canopy.
