Pallets are the best invention ever for those of us who value the high cost of free wood.
No, seriously. If you don’t believe me you better take a moment and read why and how you can use pallets for everything.
But you can’t start using them until you can take them apart. My lovely husband welded me together a bar…thing…
Er…a pallet take apart bar. And it has been used on countless pallets.
(Can’t build your own pallet buster? There are a lot of options here: Pallet Busters Check them out!)
I drool over piles of pallets I see along the way. “Wait, Bill! Do you see that pallet pile? I want it! Can you find out who’s it is?? And then bring them home…? Please…?”
“But you already have a pile of pallets! You don’t need anymore.”
*Roll of the eyes* “You never can have too many pallets. Really. Once you start using them, they are gone! Gone so quickly! I need that pile…”
Take a moment and watch how I take apart a pallet. The pallet I chose is a pallet that I come across quite a bit: broken boards and because of this, it was put in the “free pile” at the feed store.
But don’t let broken stop you! 🙂

Lol, very nice! My husband gets large 7 by 7 pallets at work, complete with several 2 by 6 in them! They are awesome! We built almost all of our sheads and buildings using them!
we also have a very large pallet pile!
Thanks for sharing with us on the Homesteader Hop!

That’s great! And 7×7 pallets would be cool. Ours are usually 4′ and sometimes 5′. I need a garden shed…I think I might look into using pallets 🙂

Cool! We have a few pallets laying around from I don’t even know what. I think maybe they were already here when we bought the place last year. haha But I love your tool. My step-dad welds for a living, so now I’m wondering if I could talk him into making me one of those. 😉 Thanks for sharing on the Homesteader Hop!
Delci says
I hope you can convince him to make you one! It is so useful! Some people just cut off the boards but you lose so much of the board that way. Thanks for stopping by 🙂
