2026 Edition
Free Wood Is Only Half the Job. Here Is the Other Half.
Cut lists, exact measurements and step-by-step instructions, plus the sourcing and deconstruction know-how that free plans never cover.

Real Builds From Our Community
From a first serving tray to a full garden bench, this is what our makers build with clear plans in hand.

Started with the serving tray last Sunday. Two hours later my wife had it in the kitchen and I had sawdust in my hair. Never touched a saw before this. That says everything.

Built the two-seat garden bench over a weekend. Been sat outside through three weeks of rain and it hasn’t budged. What I liked most is the cut list at the start of every plan — I knew exactly how many pallets to grab from the yard before I started, and I didn’t have to run back for more halfway through.

I’d been putting off building raised beds for two summers because every ‘free plan’ online skipped over what actually mattered. This one didn’t. The pallet stamp guide alone saved me from bringing home a treated one that would have leached chemicals straight into my tomatoes. The bed itself took me a Saturday afternoon, and it’s been holding soil beautifully since April. My neighbour already asked me to build her one.
★★★★★

Been building with pallets for years and the stamp guide in the bonus is still the clearest I’ve seen anywhere. Should be printed and stuck to the wall of every workshop. The four deconstruction methods bit is honest too — they actually tell you which one destroys the wood.
★★★★★

The cutting lists are what sold me. No more guessing, no more wasted boards. Fifth project in and I’ve had zero mid-build supply runs.
★★★★★
Jason R.
Made the wine rack for my brother’s 40th and a little serving tray for my mum. Both came out looking like something you’d pay actual money for in a shop. My brother thought I’d bought his. I’m not telling him.
★★★★★

The mistakes bonus is worth the price on its own. I’d already ruined two builds by splitting the end grain with screws before I read it. Wish I’d had this before I started — would have saved me a lot of firewood.
★★★★★
Chris B.
Built the full workshop workbench last month. 6 pallets, one weekend, and an afternoon of prepping the boards. What I appreciated most is the tool list is at the top of every plan, so I could sort everything before starting instead of walking back to the garage every 10 minutes. The bench is dead flat, holds my vice, and cost me the price of screws and a coat of oil. That’s it. Already picked out the next three projects.
What's Inside
Everything You Need to Turn a Pile of Pallets Into Something You'd Keep
Free plans show you a finished photo and wish you luck. This collection starts two steps earlier, at the moment you are standing behind a warehouse deciding which pallets are worth loading into the car.
01
Know Which Pallet to Take Before You Load the Car
Not every pallet belongs in your workshop. Some are chemically treated and should never be cut, sanded or burned indoors. Others are simply too far gone to hold a screw.
You get the full stamp guide: what the letters and codes actually mean, which ones are safe to work with, and the single marking that means you walk away and leave it there. Ten seconds of checking saves you a project that ends up in the fire pit.
- Read every stamp and know instantly what you are holding
- Where to look for pallets that are actually in good condition
- The quick inspection that tells you if a board will split
02
Take Them Apart Without Wrecking Half the Wood
This is where most people give up. You attack a pallet with a crowbar, split six boards in a row, and decide the whole idea was a waste of an afternoon.
The problem is never the pallet, it is the method. You get four deconstruction techniques compared side by side, with the tool each one needs and when to use it, so you come away with usable boards instead of firewood.
- Four methods, from a hand tool to a reciprocating saw
- Dealing with ring shank nails and staples the right way
- Turning rough, grey boards into a clean, smooth surface
03
You Know How Many Pallets You Need Before You Start Collecting
Nothing kills a build faster than getting three quarters of the way through and running out of boards. Every plan opens with the exact number of pallets required and a complete cutting list, so you collect once and cut once.
Every dimension is given in inches and centimeters, and every project is designed around the standard pallet size. No conversion, no guessing, no measuring twice because the numbers were written for someone else's timber.
- Pallet count and cutting list at the top of every plan
- Step-by-step instructions in the order you actually work
- Tool list up front, so nothing stops you halfway through
04
From a Saturday Afternoon to Your Best Piece of the Year
The collection is sorted by where the project goes, not by difficulty. Pick the room, pick the build, get to work. Garden benches and raised beds, shelving and headboards for indoors, workbenches and tool racks for the shop, and short builds you can finish before dinner.
Start with a serving tray to get a feel for the wood, or go straight for the piece your neighbour asks about. Every plan carries a build time and difficulty marker, so you always know what you are committing to.
- Garden, home, workshop and gift projects in one collection
- Builds that hold real weight and stay square through winter
- Free lifetime updates as new projects are added
Free Until The End Of The Month
3 Bonuses That Cover Everything Around the Projects
The building is the easy part. These three cover what happens before your first cut, what goes wrong in the middle, and what keeps arriving after. All three are included at no extra cost with every order placed before the end of this month.
Bonus #1
Pallet Sourcing & Deconstruction Guide
A standalone guide for the two things that decide whether the rest of the collection is any use to you: finding good pallets and getting the wood out in one piece.
Read it once and you stop coming home with pallets you cannot use, and you stop losing half your boards to the crowbar.
- The full stamp and marking guide, in plain language
- Four deconstruction methods compared, tool by tool
- How to prep and store boards so they stay flat until you need them
Bonus #2
Pallet Building Mistakes & How to Avoid Them
Pallet wood behaves differently from timber off the shelf. It moves, it splits, it is not always the thickness you think it is. Most builds that fail are lost to the same handful of mistakes, repeated by everyone.
Each one is listed with what causes it and how to design around it. Read it before your first project, not after the bench starts leaning.
- Why builds rack and go out of square, and the joint that fixes it
- The screw and pilot hole mistake that splits every end grain
- Outdoor protection: what to apply, how many coats, when to redo it
Bonus #3
Free Updates for Life
The collection does not stop where it is today. Every new project and every revision we add lands in your folder automatically.
One purchase, nothing to renew, nothing extra to pay later. The collection you get today is the smallest it will ever be.
- New projects added to the same folder you already have
- No subscription and no renewal of any kind
- Revised plans replaced at no extra cost

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything people ask before they start their first build.
Is It A Physical Or Digital Product?
This is a digital product. Nothing is shipped to you. You get instant access after purchase, and you can print any plan you want to take out to the workshop with you.
I have never built anything before. Is this too advanced for me?
No. The collection starts with short projects you can finish in an afternoon and works up to larger builds. Every plan lists the tools and the steps in the order you actually work, so you always know what comes next.
Are the measurements in inches or centimeters?
Both. Every measurement in every plan is given in inches and centimeters, so you can work with whatever your tape measure shows and skip the conversion.
Where do I find pallets, and how do I know they are safe to use?
Both questions are answered before the projects even start. You learn where to look, how to read the stamps on a pallet to tell which ones are safe to work with, and which marking means you leave it exactly where it is.
What tools do I need?
Most projects need a saw, a drill, a pry bar or hammer and sandpaper. Every plan carries its own tool list at the top, so you can check before you start rather than halfway through.
How many pallets do I need for each project?
Every plan states the exact number of pallets required before the first step, along with a complete cutting list. You know what to collect before you go looking, so you collect once and cut once.
Can I sell what I build?
Yes. Build the projects and sell the finished pieces with no limit on what you make. The plans themselves stay copyrighted and cannot be resold, redistributed or shared.
Do I have to pay again for future updates?
No. New projects and revisions are added to your folder at no extra cost. One purchase, no subscription, nothing to renew.
