Coffee table - Pallet, casters and a slightly difrent look

I enjoy pallets

To up-cycle and recycle
To do up and to Build
Something not quite perfect
In a world obsessed with perfection

Cracked and bent

Chopper - Pallet wood stool

Some pallets are held together by small wooden blocks and I had wondered what could be constructed out of there 'superfluous' pieces of pine.

Chopper is the name I gave it as it looks like a chopping board on legs, I guess.



Lots of glue and staples
(I love my finishing gun).

Iconic with castors... of course.

The ABC beer crate is iconic in NZ especially when it come to Lion Red and DB. I came into possession of the crates - must keep the source under wraps - and have been making all manner of things from them. This coffee table is the latest crack at something useful... with castors.

Houlihan - fine legged retro grunge

Finding good legs is not easy. Whilst on a small trip to pick up our new dog Stanley, we stopped in at a few second -had establishments in Woodville. That is where I found the legs.

The table top needs no explanation other than it needed rebuilding and sanding.

Hooks and old wood

I like the shape of coat hooks and their functionality. There are so many uses. And beside the bed, they can be a place to hang necklaces.

There is something engaging about old wood. Old worn, painted wood. 

Put it all together and there is something both useful and interesting. 

Two Seater Deck Chair - from Pallets

I just had to make something today. It had to be from the stack of pallets I have mounting up in the garage and it had to be for the deck.
A flash of the finished product in my minds eye, a cup of coffee and a few hours later - blammo!

Turns out to be very comfy and with a nice view too.

Stillness held in suspension
