The Wooden Duck

Got to start somewhere

After being incapacitated for a few weeks I found my self going down many youtube rabbit holes but I kept coming back to various wood working channels. From smaller channels like Jesper Makes & Dainer Made to bigger ones like Blacktail studios and Crafted Workshop.

The idea of using discarded pallets to create new furniture is very appealing so many hours were spent on pallet research. Namely the types of wood and the treatments that they are subjected to before being used for shipping (Montreal Protocol). It’s a whole thing as it turns out!

Being unusually motivated by this vague recycled furniture idea I was keen to get started. The only problem is, I’ve got no experience, no work shop and only a handful of janky old tools.

But you’ve got to start somewhere, So I got some pallets.

To be precise, IPPC approved, Italian, Heat Treated, pallets (probably pine).
