100 Drawer workshop organiser made from pallets. Over 1000 individual pieces were cut and sanded to make this set of drawers.

A coffee table fit for a castaway. I wanted to make something with some fun colours in it, so I decided to make a desert island-inspired coffee table. It's made from pallet wood and a large log I've had seasoning for a few years. Just the right thing to add a bit of colour during the Winter months.

A machinist's tool chest made from recycled pallet wood and scrap brass. Inspired by antique Gerstner-style tool chests.

So, you've got a whole load of pallet wood, but it's all warped. You could just burn it, or maybe turn it into a nice garden planter.

Pallets, along with 100 year old skirting boards and floor boards all went into this bookcase, and I added a secret drawer to it just for fun.

A Viking shield dartboard cabinet made for Valhalla. Scrap pallet wood, and metal work from a van bulkhead went into this Viking-inspired dartboard cabinet.

In this video I'm making a very heavy workbench out of two discarded fire doors, a load of pallet wood, and other scrap material.

A tool chest for antique tools. I was asked to make a tool chest to display a large collection of antique tools. It's made using materials from an old oak wardrobe, a pine chest of drawers and a mahogany desk. This has been a very complicated build, but it was a lot of fun.

This cabinet was inspired by a Victorian safe I spotted in an antique shop. Its made from pallets and other scrap wood. The doors are made from the base boards of an old pine bed, and the top is from an oak sideboard that was heading for the bonfire.

This chest was designed to be mounted at eye level above my lathe, so I wanted something where the drawers would tilt and drop down without coming out. It's all made out of an old pine chest of drawers.
