Pallet Furniture | Pallet Kitchen Shelf by Mr. Pallet Part 1

A kitchen shelf . The best in combination with a "workbench wall " , an area where you can hang utensils, and kitchen appliance that was according to the plan . The length of the wall is room here for two pallet widths , ie two pallets. Next , the window must still rise , as possible without fear of breakage. And finally : Kitchen is a little tricky area when it comes to dust and dirt on the one hand , more in terms of steam, grease splashes etc. , in other words , to a more detailed treatment of wood I do not come this time around. And finally my kitchens and in particular work area lighting is a bit mediocre , that is , I can let off steam again in terms of range lighting, I'll be happy anyway .

Before I got immortalized here palettes , I still made ​​a few ball point because I really had only a very rough idea of how the whole thing should be constructed. In the end I came to no result , and began instead simply at times. It was not without a certain irony that the heavier of the two -way pallets was probably one of the cleaning and requiring treatment that I had been processed.

A complete " range of height" hang on the wall would have been simply too high or too close run down to the work surfaces. I have the heavy pallet so in the middle of an intermediate piece divided, the " lightly built " shortened to two pallet carrier width. However, all separated parts cancel , you need it sometimes still . The center beam in the heavy range also came out for the time being - if only for the sake of cleaning was needed at this point. I wanted him to actually put up a little , but in the end he came back to the same place .


In the following, please do not leave by occasionally changing details irritate : I had finally almost all " pallet carrier " between purely times removed, or at least the " state boards " solved by the spacers - some were , as in the simple pallet rack on the bottom instead of the front page new screwed . At the point it can be easier to get than I am and just disassemble everything you differently anschraubt later , and grind in a maximum disassembled , varnish and paint . As I said , for me was it a work in progress , you kanns easier when you have the final result already clearly planned.

I had cleaned on the presumed maximum decomposition state , ground and then mixed with a water-based wood stain , tint " chalk white " glaze . The goal was a light wood surface through which one but grain , screws, cuts and flex cuts still sees. Hold a machined , light wood look.
And clearly , I have to say now , but I also wanted it just " improvised " and a little " whitewashed " looks like. Say that you can do anything cleaner and more uniform than here, but I mags piebald . * Full * uniformly in non-opaque colors you but really should not aim , you will be frustrated - too often are completely different woods in the same range , different cut and the color differently record Sägerichtungen strong, different abdunkelnd  get out of coverage, you kriegts not down . Do not even try .
