    Some pallets are just plain stubborn! Its very very annoying:confused: but with some patients they will come apart. I have a couple methods to do this…

    Here is my main one.

    I watched many vids on this..maybe i need to get better built pallets.
    We made a tool like in one of the vids..would probably work on a little thicker slats??
    I tied big bars also. Will get better pallets for sure.

    Holy chit Pete! That is pleasantly pleasing to the perception of the persons partaking in pallet projects. Very nice my friend. I really need to make one of those for my wife. Now. When will I have the time? This week? D'oh. Next week? D'oh. The week after? D'oh! :rolleyes: Never mind that idea for now.

    Pallet Pete ponders producing perfectly painted pallet projects for potted plant purposes whilst pandering his partner planning some post-supper practice proliferation.

    :D :wacky:

    He definitely had that all planned out right. Would work good for booth displays as well.

    Is he a cousin of Pete?
