Work Table Made of Pallets
I saw an interesting pic today of an architect's worktable that was made of pallets. The pallets were neatly stacked and appeared to be screwed together. On top of the pallets was a very nice piece of finish-grade plywood. The structure of the pallets created holes, or, "cubbies," all around the table, so that he could store his plans. Those holes could easily be filled with rolls of fabric, boxes or drawers to meet the needs of a quilter. The whole look was rustic, but cool.
Pallets can usually be found for free at various places. I see them all the time at the feed store, free for the taking. The finish plywood would cost some money, depending on what type of wood you wanted. I'd put a couple of coats of polyurathane on the plywood for durability. You could even add a grid for easy measuring.

Wood pallets are factored in the price of delivery of goods. You paid for the pallets, just not directly. LOL My neighbor made a nice raised herb garden using the pallets stacked on top of each other.

picture?
Do you have a picture to share? I have a source for pallets and would love to see the construction. A friend has a 12" tall pile of oak pallets he will give me for free.....and my brother mentioned it just last night. Ironically enough....
