Re: We decided to make a crate out of an old pallete. Currently using it to store potatoes:D

Nice work @Sams_wrkshp!

 

This is a fantastic beginner's project using recycled materials. I'm sure it is already proving useful as storage in the pantry.

 

I hope it is the first project of many.

 

Thank you for sharing.
