I made this toy box for my nephew for Christmas completely out of pallets except the plywood lining the interior. Rough measurements are 40L 18D and 20H. He was pretty pleased on Christmas day. All of the metal fasteners are hidden from view. I used dows on the top frame for extra strength.

Thanks. It is pretty sturdy. I knew a 7 year old was going to abuse it for many years so I built it strong.

Looks good dude! I love the way pallet stuff comes out just I don’t like using pallet wood, after seeing how some of these pallets get dragged around and what’s stacked on them I don’t want any part of that lol

I get my pallets from my work. I can pick and choose which I want and know what has been on them. So I’m pretty comfortable with that, but I understand what your concern is.

I agree, I don’t use pallet wood for any of my projects because a lot of my project are made for or will be used with food.
That is sweet. I have thought about that for my kids to put on our screened in porch to keep outside toys in. Although if mine was that nice it probably wouldn’t stay outside.

I’m in the same boat. The final products look awesome, but unfortunately, I don’t have somewhere to get them from where I know what has been on them and that it’d be safe to use. It ends up not being worth the hassle for me. Sounds like Ohiostatebuckeyefan is one of the lucky ones! Great work! Looks fantastic.

I love the designs so I just cater to the pallet designs without using pallets

That is awesome. I have been wanting to make a toy box for my kids and I am going to model it after this one. I have been looking around for a cool box and it has been hard to find one I really like. Now i just need the time. Thanks for sharing.

No problem. Got any questions, I’d be happy to help.

seems a bit fishy
Very nice build. How long did it take?

It took about a week to build, which included taking apart the pallets. I was off work most of the week so a few days were 6-10 hrs working on it or letting glue dry.
