My latest three pallet benches

Here are my latest three heavy duty bench I have finished...they were already blue but I decided to add a brighter color...blue and some orange around the nail and screw holes and in various places...I love them... hope you do too! This is what they looked like before I added my own color.
And this is what they looked like after adding a lighter blue, brown and orange to them... I did some brown first, then the blue and then the orange...on the one I decided to only use red and blue...these are really heavy...they are not the cheap made pallets...in fact, I cannot pick one of the blue pallets all by myself...and I had to used the recip saw to tear them down...

MY FIRST ATTEMPTS AT MAKING PALLET FURNITURE

I DECIDED THAT SINCE I HAD SO MANY WOOD WORKING TOOLS...THAT I WAS USING TO REMODEL MY HOUSE BY MYSELF...I MIGHT AS WELL LEARN TO MAKE FURNITURE...I HAD NO CLUE HOW TO BEGIN...SO I TRIED USING A CROWBAR TO TEAR DOWN THE PALLETS...THAT WAS A NO GO...THEN I TRIED THE RECIP SAW AND ALMOST SHOOK MY SELF TO DEATH! SO I SAT THERE AND STUDIED THE WHOLE SITUATION...AND GOT OUT THE CIRCULAR SAW...LAY THE PALLET ON THE DRIVEWAY AND MADE A CHALK LINE AND PROCEEDED FROM THERE... I CUT THE ENDS OFF AND BEING CREATIVE...I SAW IMMEDIATELY HOW IT WOULD END UP...DID I MENTION I HAD USED ANOTHER PALLET TO BUILD MYSELF A WORK TABLE...TO MAKE PUTTING THE FURNITURE TOGETHER A LOT EASIER...CAUSE SQUATTING KILLS MY KNEES FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME...AND I PLACED IT BESIDE MY ROLLING CARD WHICH HAS ALL MY CLAMPS AND SCREWS AND NAIL GUN ETC...IF YOU GET CONFUSED...THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PHOTOS ON PINTEREST AS WELL AS OTHER SITES- SEVERAL YOU CAN FIND ON FACEBOOK OR GOOGLE THEM...
