The place i work at throws away dozens upon dozens of pallets every week. They are all HT labeled and paintless. There are a variety of styles that come through. Some of the best are made of unnotched 2x4 with really nice 1x4 all on top. Others even made of 4x4 lumber. Im tempted in asking my boss if i can have a few every week to make some stuff

Great all-around video quality. Found you today and I'm quite surprised you don't have more subs already. First time I've actually seen any pallet video mentioning the markings

Other good places to ask for pallets are all kinds of stores including your favorite grocery store. Maybe not tons of pallets like from industrial places but you can definitely grab one or two from time to time
Great video!

How can you tell it safe from any chemicals or nasty stuff that may have spilled on the pallet? My worry and what keeps me from using them, is that while the wood itself was good, in its uses, something awful got on it that I wouldn't want to end up in my garden
