    Very smart.

    I like the triangle detail on the tops.

    Thanks guys. I didn't have much choice of timbers - that's just what the pallet was made from. Interesting mix, though.

    Hi,
    Did you get them into the competition or did you miss out completely?
    Very impressive by the way.
    Regards
    Hugh

    No, they're in. I'll be taking them down prior to the exhibition in Melbourne. If you're in Melbourne or Ballarat, try to see it. Create from a Crate Exhibitions

    Well done. Took me 3 or 4 looks to see how the table "fragments" can be assembled. Clever.

    We have an annual Artisan's Exhibition. I have tried to promote such an event, pallet or crate, for 3 years.
    Hoped it would attract a greater variety of woodworkers, I know for a fact that they are around the village.
    Nope. Yawn. ZZZZZZZZZZ.
    The organizing committee has killed it off even though there's nothing for them to do!

    Please PM if you know the key to getting started.
