RE: Another upcycle project, but i'm gutted I got rained off.
Looking good!
(as are those comet goldfish!)
I used a lot of pallet wood for projects as well. The best pallets are the hardwood ones, obviously. Very strong wood and often very attractive.
I also had the problem of getting those ring-shank nails out: what I ended up doing was using a sawzall with a metal cutting blade and slipping it between the boards and foundation to cut off the planks. Due to them being ring shank you don't really have to worry about them falling out later on, and to me it just added more visual interest to the finished work.
I was going to use a sawzall but I didn't know if it left the nail heads in the wood or not, I could do with an easier way to take them apart.
I did however use a circular saw for the smaller planters I made and just cut straight through the wood this then made it easier to put them together as it was just a case of lining them up and hammering together
cheers for dropping by @corpsvalues :D
