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 skillfully broken down into timber and smartened up, they can be refashioned into chairs, tables, fences, gates, chicken arks, planters, sheds, decking, cladding and many other functional items. Joe Jacobs shows you what kind of pallet to look for, and provides over 20 plans for tables, fences, chairs, planters and other items of indoor and outdoor furniture. ‘Build It! With Pallets’ is the ideal companion for anyone looking for inspiration and an economical source of wood, making them the ultimate recycling solution.

I found better information on re-using pallets on the internet for free. I felt I wasted my money.

The book is a fast read but there is not much in it - unless you are a farmer in England- like the author. He understates the difficulty of getting useable wood from standard pallets. The effort to take apart a pallet with average tools is 10 on a scale of 1 to 10. Some pallets are treated with toxic substances and should not come in contact with skin or food substances. For gates, compost containers and such the ideas in the book will work. Look elsewhere for furniture made from pallets.

Bought book as a gift for someone that had built beautiful boxes out of pallet wood. May be more for a beginner.

Pallets
The book is fine. I was looking more for building with the pallets just as they are without taking them apart for the lumber.

Great resource to have on hand
These projects are for any skill level! Very practical and creative. I bought this book for my father, but I think I've borrowed it so much I need my own copy!

not worth it
This book is small and doesn't contain many peices to make. Not worth the money. Not enough ideas in it at all.
