My roommate and I are both in Air Force ROTC, and we are both aspiring pilots. We also happen to have the same favorite airframe, the A-10 Warthog. I got bored while home on summer break so I took a single pallet and made this for our living room at school. I’m sure this has been done before, but I just thought I would share because I am pretty much in love with it.
The actual work time is probably only 3 or 4 hours, but I was using a 60-year-old scroll saw that did not cut very well. The paint is just whatever was on sale at Ace, and I weathered it (or at least tried) with some Minwax Cherry stain. Then I put on a couple of coats of clear coat, which was also on sale at Ace. The whole project cost me like $10 and took the better part of a day from very start to very end.
I made the outline of the Warthog by finding a picture on Google Images and then uploading it to www.blockposters.com. Then I just cut it out with a Xacto knife and taped it to the boards.
With an estimated 2 billion pallets being used every day, and many more sitting around, no wonder so many projects have been done using pallets. Here are 1001 ways to recycle, upcycle, reuse or repurpose pallets! If you are a pallet upcycler, do not hesitate to send us your work, we will be happy to showcase it to the world!
