When about woodworking, the possibilities are endless. With the right tools and a little creativity, you can make just about anything out of wood.
Some common woodworking projects include furniture (tables, chairs, dressers, etc.), cabinets, shelving units, birdhouses/feeders, and outdoor decks/patios. However, these are just a few examples of what you can make with wood; the sky is the limit when it comes to your imagination.
If you’re new to woodworking or simply looking for some easy project ideas that anyone can do, check out online resources like Pinterest or DIY blogs. There are plenty of step-by-step tutorials and instructions available that’ll walk you through the process from start to finish. With a little time and effort (and maybe a little help from someone who’s more experienced), you’ll be surprised at what you can create out of wood!

Pallet Wood Toilet Paper Holder
-One pallet, preferably with the boards running horizontally -Two L brackets -Screws -Paint or Stain (optional)
Instructions: 1. Start by measuring the width of your toilet paper roll and adding 1 inch. This will be the width of your holder. Measure the height of your toilet paper roll and add 3 inches. This will be the height of your holder. Cut two pieces of pallet wood to these dimensions. These will be the front and back pieces of your holder. 2. Next, measure the distance between the two front pieces of wood at their widest point and cut a piece of pallet wood to this measurement plus 1 inch for overlap. This will be the bottom piece of your holder. 3. Assemble your three pieces of wood using L brackets and screws, making sure that the screws are long enough to go through all three layers of wood without sticking out on the other side (this could injure someone if they ran into it). 4 Sand down any rough edges and paint or stain as desired
Pallet Wall Shelf
To build a pallet wall shelf, you will need:
-1 wood pallet -saw (hand or power) -hammer or nail gun -nails or screws -stain or paint (optional) Start by deconstructing your pallet. Cut the boards into the desired length for your shelves. If you want, you can s and down the edges of the boards for a smoother finish. Next, decide how you want to arrange your shelves on the wall. Once you have decided, use nails or screws to attach the boards to the wall. If you’re using nails, make sure to pre drill holes first so that the wood doesn’t split. Finally, stain or paint your shelves if desired and enjoy your new storage space!
Pallet Lamp
If you have an old pallet lying around, put it to good use by making a Pallet Lamp! This is a great project for upcycling, and it will add some unique lighting to your home. You can make a simple lamp by attaching a light socket and cord to the top of the pallet, or get creative and add some personality with paint or other decorations.
To make your Pallet Lamp, start by sanding down the surface of the pallet if necessary. Then, drill holes for the light socket and cord. Run the cord through the holes and attach the socket. Finally, screw in a light bulb and plug in your new lamp!
If you want to get creative, you can paint or decorate your Pallet Lamp however you like. Try adding some stencils or decals for extra personality. You could even distress the wood for a shabby chic look. Whatever you do, make sure your design is safe and won’t catch fire from the heat of the bulb!
With just a little time and effort, you can turn an old pallet into something both useful and stylish – so why not give it go? Your home will thank you for it!
Pallet Beer Opener
The first step is to find a suitable pallet. You can often find these for free at your local hardware store or online. Once you have your pallet, the next step is to remove any nails or staples that may be in it. Be careful not to damage the wood while doing this.
After the nails are removed, you’ll need to s and down the pallet to create a smooth surface. I recommend using an electric sander for this, but you can also do it by hand if you prefer. Once the pallet is sanded, you’re ready to start assembly!
To start, measure and cut two pieces of wood that will serve as the sides of your opener. These should be about 6 inches wide and 18 inches long. Next, attach these pieces together with screws or nails (I used screws). Then, measure and cut two more pieces of wood that will serve as the top and bottom of your opener (these should be about 8 inches wide and 18 inches long). Attach these pieces together as well using screws or nails (again, I used screws).
