I wanted to do this project to help out a friend who is kindly letting me use his spare room while I wait for the keys to my house. I stripped one pallet which had decent with slats which were strong. I cut the lengths to size making it slightly shorter than the original bench to make it stronger.
I stripped the old bench down. A big job as all the fixings were rusted. Thank you wd40. One I had fitted the new timber I gave it a bit of sand down nit wanting to lose the reclaimed look and then finished it off with a light oak spray. It probably took about 5-6 hrs all in.
Have one of these I’ve been meaning to do the same way. Hoe did you form the pallett wood too bend with the cast iron or did you?
