RichardA Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 I'm not concerned with the "Green" folks, but that is one hulluva good idea for carpenters and some woodworkers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Sawdust Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 I can see some folks having an application for this. I'm with Richard, but the fact that they're held together with evil plastic makes them less green 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a cool idea, but will probably remain a unique item rather than a standard building item. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombarde16 Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Indeed. I seem to recall that CNC folks often fire plastic fasteners into the spoil board to hold things down, the theory being that the router can run right through with no ill effect. If these were a little smaller, that might also work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 This definitely has some potential. But I really wish that people that are constantly speaking to recycling pallets would get educated on what is in the wood of the pallet. They are treated with so many chemicals during the coarse of their life. Pesticides, fungicides. Then when they sit out in back of the stores the most pleasant thing that happens is they get pee'd one by man and beast. Every time I see a picture of furniture or wall hangings in a home made from pallets I can't help but think "if they only new". I would even burn pallet wood in a campfire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
