once you've made enough money from the first few, a table sander with DRO thickness control will be your best friend. I used to make flooring and that machine was an absolute godsend. Obviously a planer/thicknesser would be great too. Superb work by the way. The arrangement of timber in the piece is unique and very attractive. All the best with forthcoming pieces!

I like it mate.

Funnily enough I mentioned a similar idea to my Mrs & got a very "sceptical" look...

 

I never considered pallets, I was just gonna buy timber from the yard I get my fencing timber from.

 

The idea appeals to me as it's so bespoke to the space you have.

 

I like the glued/screwed approach, I was thinking more the "Sunday League" route too 😄 but feel well inspired now!

 

Just got to get the garage built 1st 😲😁

Go for it Danny Boy :thumbup:...and with pallets you get so many different woods,and if your picky then you can just use the nice bits of grain.

Here is a pic of the sink section,unfinished but gives ideas of what can be done with unusual sizes/shapes.

 

Another great job.

 

Hope you have left gaps around the reveal as there is potential for a fair bit of expansion and shrinkage with the grain in that orientation.
