Holy cow do we have some super crafty readers here at One Hundred Dollars a Month or what? This Recycled Wood Pallet Potting Bench is awesome!
Chef Selena from Tacoma, Washington had this to say about her creation:
Hey Mavis!
I built my wood pallet potting bench out of reclaimed pallets from a local hardware store as well as old fence panels from a neighbor. I bartered some of my killer banana bread for his wood. His fence blew down last winter and he has had a stack of fence wood just sitting there so I put the two together and created this kick arse potting bench, along with 2 – 2x4s, 12 metal support brackets and some hardware screws. Sanded, burned to expose the wood grain and sealed.
I also created a wood pallet yard tool holder. All did was remove the two top panels from the pallet, and then I screwed one of the boards into the bottom, sanded and burned to expose the wood grain, and sealed. I don’t have actual “plans” for either project I just kind of put it together as I went.
Ciao, Selena

Ok, that’s pretty rad! I’ve got a few pallet projects I’d like to try out. I need to go on a pallet treasure hunt…
Mavis says
I agree. Pretty rad indeed!

I like the garden tool holder. It looks like it would take about 15 minutes to take the 2 boards off and attach it to a wall for stability. Just wait till my husband finds out he’s making this for me!

I think I get the name and comment of everyone who is entering your contest, but under the heading of Making Seed Tapes for a children’s craft. Wierd. Am I the only one? My shoe size is closer to that LL Bean Boot than yours. Still looking for your wooden shoes. I found a pair but the clumsy wearer had stubbed the toes so hard that the toes had cracked.

Helen I will email you. 🙂
