How To Make Pallet Bookshelves

I am sure you have seen Pallet bookshelves around the internet. 

I made some for the boutique last month and I wanted to show you how I did it.

Grab a pallet.

I used the Circular Saw.  I just used the board as a guide and cut right up the side of it.

My saw blade was not big enough to go all the way through.

So I flipped the pallet over and tried to just match up my line.
Well... You can see how well that went!

For the next cut I just got out the Sawzall to cut the rest of the way through.  That worked GREAT!

I took some unfinished to the boutique and some painted.  To paint them I primed them with Kilz Primer.  The best primer ever.  I brushed it on.  And it took FOREVER!  My sister-in-law Kortnie from Ioka Lane Boutique uses it in the Spray Can and told me I should try that!  I definately will next time!

*If you chose to brush it on, make sure you have some paint thinner around because it is oil-based.

I left the bottom off for painting so that I could get up inside easier.

I just laid out all of my bottom pieces and painted them.

I atttached the bottom pieces with a Framing Nailer. And it was done!

One of these days I hope to get one of these hung in my own home!

These pallet bookshelves are available for sale in my shop!

Here is what I made with what was left over from the pallets after making the bookshelves.
