pallet redesign part2

 Xylia's wall shelf, you can see in the picture on the left and below  how we cut pieces of the pallet boards to create braces for the shelf. We cut and then attached it to the vertical pieces. We started with this design and then about half way through we changed it up, and found an easier, more efficient way.

 These next 2 photos show how we changed the design a bit. The overall look is the same, we only changed how we use the wood. We kept the horizontal boards where they were, since they we secured so nicely, and just cut them to fit as shelf braces. This was much easier and allows you to save wood as well as the time it takes to pry the boards off!

Theses next 2 show the shelves from the wall. We cut the boards to fit inside so maximum space could be used.

        

For this design it took about 2 pallets to make 1 shelf...of course, that can depend on the quality of the pallets and how much splitting you get.
We bolted the back horizontal braces which were part of the original structure of the shelf to studs in the walls for security.
