Introduction ----------------- Christmas is just around the corner and my front-yard was looking like a small JUNGLE. So, before crack opening a cold one with the boys I planned to fix my front-yard. Hardware Requirement --------------------------------- For this project we need: Pallet Wood Protective equipment like: Face mask Glasses Gloves Sanding Tool Hammer Measuring Tape Nails Handsaw or Chop-saw Knife Pliers Pencil and Paint of your choice Dismantling The Pallet -------------------------------- Using 2 hammers I am going to dismantle the pallet. My aim is to reuse all the nails that are used in building this pallet. Redwood and Cedar are in general the best option to building a raised garden box in terms of longevity because they are naturally rot-resistant and have been known to last for up to 20 years and they looks gorgeous. Measurement ------------------- Lets start by measuring the length, width and the height of the area where I am going to place the planter box. 3D Model -------------- Based on the measurements, I am going to assemble the two small sides first.  After that, I am going to put together the two long sides and join them all together.  Once all the sides are ready, I will paint the parallel planks gray, and the legs with black paint.  After that, I am going to add the potting mix to the planter box and plant the agave plants to the box. Well, enough of talking, now lets get started.  Sanding ------------ Lets start the project by sanding the planks to give them a nice and smooth texture. Wood Cutting ------------------- After that, with my magical super fast hands, I am going to cut all the wooden blocks and keep them aside. Building The Box ------------------------ Sides As per the plan, I am assembling the two identical small sides first. The two legs which I am going to put on the sides are going to firmly hold the 3 inner planks together. Front Next, I am assembling the two longer sides.  This planter box is not going to move from its position. So, there is no point of adding any planks to the bottom of the box. Joining The Sides Once all the sides are ready I am joining them all together. For a bit of extra support I am adding a metal bracket to hold the sides. Painting ----------- Alright, that's all with the nails and the hammers.  In the next section, I am going to paint the exterior of the box as per the plan. My partner came up with an idea of drawing borders between the wooden planks and frankly speaking, with a bit of an extra effort the box now looks even more appealing. Lining The Box ---------------------- Before pouring the soil into the box I am adding a liner to help maintain and prolong the life of the container. Frankly speaking, the lining can be something as simplistic as a black trash bag. These bags are an easy and cheap alternative to the ground liners.  If the bag is too big or has a lot of extra length for your wooden planter, you can cut away the extra length with scissors. Place the bag in the planter to check how much of the bag you need to eliminate. Adding Potting Mix --------------------------- The pallet planter is almost ready. All I have to do now is to fill the planter box with soil. Remember, do not overfill it and make sure to keep the soil at least a couple of inches below the lining level. Planting Agave ---------------------- And now to evenly plant the Agave plants I am placing few sticks to find the right spots. And, that's it, to wrap it all up I am one by one removing the sticks and planting the Agave plants in the box. Thanks ---------- This is another beautiful creation of the wooden pallet that is recycled into an excellent piece of work.  So, let's ring the boys and crack open some cold ones.

Introduction ---------------- I had some spare time this weekend and was bored of babysitting. So, I went ahead and made something interesting to kill my time and use some of the scrap wood I have been collecting for ages. Hardware Requirement --------------------------------- For this project we need: Pallet Wood Protective equipment like: Face mask Glasses Gloves Sanding Tool Hammer Measuring Tape Nails Handsaw or Chop-saw Knife Pliers Pencil and Paint of your choice Dismantling The Pallet -------------------------------- Using 2 hammers I am going to dismantle the pallet. My aim is to reuse all the nails used in building this pallet so that, I can use them in building my stool. A stool is a highly useful piece of furniture that comes in handy at any point of time, such as to sit, and to reach out places that you can't reach without some additional support. There are so many styles, shapes, and types of stools available online, but the real fun is to make one yourself, using your own time and creativity. Many people choose them to add a bit of charm to their home interior and exterior decoration. Wood Cutting -------------------- Let's start by cutting the wooden pieces required for this project. My pallets are 9cm wide and 2cm thick. So, if I want to make a perfect square I would need: 12 x 36cm blocks for 2 opposite sides and the top8  x 32cm blocks for the other 2 sides4  x 38cm blocks for the legs, which will also hold the sidesFor the base we need: 2  x 32cm blocks for the center bit and2  x 28cm blocks for the sides bitsAnd finally, few random sized blocks to hold the sides. Just keep watching and you will know what I mean. Sanding ------------ Before putting the blocks together I am going to sand them to give them a nice and smooth texture. Putting The Pieces Together ---------------------------------------- Let's start by putting the 2 identical sides together. For that, I am going to use the 4 x 32cm blocks and the 2 x 38cm legs. Once the sides are ready I will use the 8 x 36cm blocks to join these sides to each other to give it a square shape. But, before joining the 4th side I am putting the bottom bit together. Cool, so that's how the box looks like without the top lid. Now, lets put the lid together and place it over the box. Awesome, look at that. To fill the holes, I am mixing sawdust with a bit of wood glue and then filling the holes up with the mixture. I will sand it once the glue drys up to give it a smooth finish. Painting ------------ Black is my favorite color. So, I am going to paint this stool with water-based black paint. Now, to draw the circles I am using the lid of the 'Pringles' potato chips paperboard can. The Legs ------------- As this stool will be used inside the house, I don't want the wooden legs to scratch the tiles of my floor. So to avoid that, I am putting some hot glue under the legs. You can also use a rubber base for this.  Thanks ---------- This is another beautiful creation of the wooden pallet that is recycled into an excellent piece work. This is a versatile piece of furniture which can be placed in the living room, bedroom, study, kitchen or/and even outdoors. This stool is lightweight yet sturdy, comfortable to sit on, and is highly functional as it can be moved around the house, giving a dynamic and entertaining experience.

Hello Guys, Welcome back to MyATCtv DIY recycled projects! I am back again with some interesting recycling furniture ideas. This time I will use old fences to make DIY patio chairs and bench. For this wonderful creation, I will be using the old fence panel which wasn’t needed anymore. So, instead of throwing away the fence I will recycle it to make beautiful and yes comfortable patio chairs. For more interesting recycling projects or creations join me on my YouTube channel MyATCtv DIY . Special Floriade Expo 2022 !!! I was very happy to be nominated and receive my green pin from Loes Ypma the representative of the Floriade and the Growing green cities program. A big thank you to the entire team organizing this event! And I will also take this opportunity to introduce to you the Floriade Expo 2022 . This expo will be taking place from April to October 2022 and sharing with us what a green city of the future should look like. Check the video below for more information about it: Below, I am sharing some pictures and drafts of DIY patio chairs that will help you in making an attractive seating for your patio or garden. If you would like to see more images of this DIY project, Check out my YouTube video Tutorial for better understanding!!! Let’s start First let us see what we need to make the patio chairs. Here is the list of important tools that help us with the making of patio chairs. Fence panel Screwdriver Large screws Miter saw Measuring tape Carpenter scale Pencil Cushion Rolling sander Power sander Table planner Sealant Green and white paint and more below... We put together a list of some of the tools used in the shop on our Amazon Store (affiliate link), if you'd like to support what we do, shop through this link: MyATCtv Amazon Store Step1: Get an Old Fence Panel For Chairs If you are planning to throw your old fence panel, then don’t do so. Instead use the old fences to build beautiful patio chairs. So, get an old fence panel of required size to make these amazing chairs. Here the are measuring 1.80m*1.80m. Step 2: Separate all the wooden board from The Fence Panel Now we need only the wood and poles to make the chairs, so unscrew the slats from the fence panel. I will use power driver to take the screws out of the pallets. This is how I separate all the slats and now i can use all of them for making different parts of a chair and bench Step 3: Make the Separated wooden board Smooth and Clean Due to weather conditions and long time use, the fences are untidy and messy (with a lot of climbing plants named here: “Klimop”. So, to make the slats clean and look like new again I will use thickness planer. Pass every slat through this planer to make the surface even, smooth and clean. Step 4: Cut the Long poles In several parts for the Legs(frame) Of the design I will measure the long wooden piece available with my measuring tape. This one is almost around 300 cm but most of the others are shorter than that. Now, I will make a mark at 165 cm and will cut the long one at the marked point with my miter saw. Step 5: Cut the wooden board for the chairs seats and bench Now I will prepare the different slats for the seat of the patio chairs and benches. For single-seat chair I will use small pallets and for Double-Seat chair I will use large pallet pieces. Now I will use three large pallets for seating of two-seat chair. Use two cushions of your own choice to mark points on the three boards to cut them according to the size of seat. Mark lines parallel to cushions on both sides of those boards. Step 6: Make the Edges of wooden board Round and Smooth Now when all the boards of the chairs are ready I will make their edges round and smooth with my router table. Whether it is large pallets, small on or legs part I will make the edges of all smooth and round. Step 7: Make the Legs Of the Modern Design Chairs I will use the long wooden pieces to make the legs and frames of the chair /bench. For this, I will cut the large piece at an angle with miter saw from the end (please check 3D plan for more accurate dimensions) . Now, at some distance from this cut I will make a straight cut. I will repeat the steps for all the required legs and in order to create the frame. Step 8: Join the Parts of Legs Now I am going to join the parts of the legs together with screws but as this wood is very strong I will advise to pre drill the holes before inserting the screws. After this, I will check the arrangement for different parts of the patio chairs to make them fit properly within the leg space. Step 9: Make the Seat and Backrest of Chair Now, after the legs, I will place the boards one by one with screws to make the seating area and backrest of the chair (please note that those screws are also the same ones that were already on the fences). Remember!!! We recycle as much as possible... Step 10: Use a protective oil Now when the structure of the chair is ready, I will apply a coat of protective oil over it. This will give a fine finish to the patio chairs and will also protect them from getting rotten. Step 11: Now Chairs are Ready Here the beautiful patio chairs and bench for your garden are ready! You can place the cushion on the seats for more comfort. Step 12: Paint the Chairs for More Beautiful Look In the end I will paint the chairs with green and white colour to make them look more beautiful and attractive piece of furniture. And remember that recycling at home is a family affair!!! And feel free to come and join us at the Floriade Expo 2022 !
