Pallet Chest

I made this pallet chest for a client who wanted it all to be 100% pallet wood and here is how I started.

Time: 3 Days Cost: $8 Difficulty: Medium

• 

I used a pallet buster to break down the pallets it has taken me 7 to 10 minuets to break this down.

• 

It took a total of 3 pallets to make this pallet chest and here is the wood after I used a pallet buster they come out nice and clean.

• 

I used the pallet braces as my frame I made the frame 18 inches high by 33 inches long i made so I have no cuts at each end and the pallet boards fit perfect

• 

Then i cut the pallet boards 18 in and nailed them to the frame

• 

Then i made the lid with 5 boards total and i gorilla glued the to gather with clamps

• 

Then I stained it with a gun stock stain and after it dried I added the handle for the lid.

• 
  

  

Then I added handles on each side for easy lifting

• 

Here you have a pallet chest made out of 100% pallet wood.

• 

I added to strap hinges for the lid an this is my pallet chest for a client and I hope she enjoys it for years to come
