Old Wooden Pallets?

What to do with old broken pallets?

When my wife and I got married 22 years ago she was working at a school and when I went to see her, her desk was a small metal POS. I bought an old retired US Military desk and restored it as a wedding gift to her. That's when I got the bug for wood working.

For years I've been making different items from old pallets. This is a few of the items I've made over the years.

Very nice craftsmanship, I love woodworking except I don't have the space to do any
Seeking a Black Sequoia I know I know, I'd settle for just the tabbed no leg grill

Thanks @JEBIV . I haven't made much lately but I have a spice rack I've been designing that I really want to make for the house up north.

Wow awesome projects all around. I have access to plenty of pallets and I have tools but I haven't got around to making anything yet. Always planned on it. Maybe this is the inspiration I needed.

Beautiful work on all of the above.  Pallets also make good firewood. A trucking company north of Duluth is on the way to the cabin. They have big shipping boxes on their driveway that they fill with broken pallet pieces. Free for the taking.  Plenty of people heat with wood up here, so its an easy way for them to get rid of scrap wood.
