Product Description
Product Description
Often found abandoned at the back of factories, at dumps or even in skips, the humble pallet, for many practically minded people, represents a huge source of inspiration as well as a challenge. When skilfully broken down into timber and smartened up, they can be re-fashioned into beautiful chairs, tables, fences, gates, chicken arks, planters, sheds, decking, cladding and many other functional items. "Build It!...With Pallets", part of the "Build It!" series, illustrates the very best techniques for breaking down the pallets safely. The author then discusses the best ways to refurbish the wood and provides over 20 plans for tables, fences, chairs, planters and other items of indoor and outdoor furniture. This book is the ideal companion for those who views towers of pallets not as an eyesore but as an inspiration and an economical source of wood, making them the ultimate recycling solution.

This book punches well above it's weight. The projects are useful well thought out even for the beginner. I would highly recommend this to anyone even if they had only one pallet taking up space in the garden.....you'll soon find yourself looking for more!

There's no doubt that this book is a goldmine of projects that in themselves spawn further ideas for projects with pallets. But did we really need to buy it? We're not sure.
In terms of value for money, one could argue that you can recoup the cost by saving on making things from pallets - but only if you want to make one of the objects in the book. And yes, it does have useful information other than just projects but it is information that, once you have, you don't really need to go back to.
Having said that, the projects do lend themselves to being 'adopted' for making other things you may need.
It is a well presented book, well written and well thought out.The projects and guides are easy to follow. But at the end of the day it's a slim paperback with the price tag of a hardback and that doesn't sit easily on our shelf. It might have been better to utilise the library.

Not very inspiring. It is quite expensive for the content. The writing style is quite pleasant but it doesn't really get down to what can be done with pallets. I shall consign it to the bookshelf to collect dust.
