M daughter and her partner have made a wine shelf and glass holder and a daybed for the garden out of pallets, along with a patio table and chairs out of cable reels. They look great

Amazing! I particularly like the room divider and also the little red deck for outside!

I actually made a rolling table for the patio a couple of years ago. It's on my wifes Facebook page but I can't seem to attach it.

And I thought you was all wealthy academics, not penny pinching recyclers.

Only kidding.........I have made garden bench and stools, and a workbench from packing cases, never used pallets so far.

Good job! Now I have to find some pallets. I think I'll also try using scrap fencing. People are always repairing fences around here.

I used a Palette once for stacking things on... I called It a Palette.

Are they more feminine than a pallet

I hear they're a lot easier to keep clean than regular wood tables. All you need is a cracker.

I thought there was a British equivalent, but I could only find this:

FOUND: Saltine Crackers!I don't know if anyone else has already posted about this, but I found Saltine crackers at my local Morrisons! They are an Italian brand called Delsa, and there is a lot of Italian writing on the box, but there is a picture of them on there and you can tell they are definitely Saltines. I tried some as soon as I got home, and they are just as good as I remember (though these are slightly less salty than the brands I remember) and even better, they come in individual packs of ten crackers, which is perfect! YAY!!!
They're used by wine tasters to clean the pallet.

Now that is what I thought.....but of course it was a sophisticated jape that went right over my head.

Devilish pun using my own language against me, what ?

A cracker to clean the pallet/palate:wah:

Tabby, those really are amazing! But if I saved old stuff to do new stuff with, I'd just forget why I saved the old stuff and then I'd be a hoarder (I'm halfway there anyway!)
