Pallets

My daughter cleaned her room so instead of renting a dumpster I hauled it to the dump i mean"land fill". Anyway instead of coming back the normal route they detoured us around the dump and I found the mother load of pallets. You could ask and they will be free if your "land fill" is like mine...

Pallet furniture

I worked at a candy factory that received several pallets all day long and I loved the ones that had writing on them, like Ghirardelli (a chocolate company), Blommer (chocolate manufacturer) and a few others! I've picked up a few and have made picture frames and shelving from some.

Real nice...

For someone who claims to be so "sophisticated" you certainly display a lack of couth and respect for others. This community isn't about expressing counterproductive opinions. If you don't like it, fine, move on. You don't need to say something so hurtful about something someone is obviously proud of.
Please, by all means, post some of your "sophisticated" projects you're so proud of, then we'll talk about what's great and what's "ugly".

Well, I just looked at my post again and agree that I came off a bit too rude, sorry about that.. I didn't really mean to hurt anyone's feelings. I just thought the table had a little room for more improvement, but that's no justification for my retarded comment, so anyway.. I guess I need to keep my mouth shut lol

Sadie, you are right- you should just keep your mouth shut. An apology that uses the word 'retarded'- seriously? Grow up.

Caster Wheels?

Love your site and the fact that you share so much info for Diy's. Where is the best place to get the caster wheels? Vintage are sooo expensive so I got to believe that they are out there new with the idea in mind to antique them..
Thanks for all that you posted and shared..

Lots of sources

The two best sources I've found for cart wheels are Menards and Harbor Freight. I think you can order them from Rockler or Lee Valley too, but I know that the two physical stores have a good selection and the prices are reasonable.
