Re: Pallet Wood quality Question

Had a generous half hour today pallet busting.today. Therapeutic, but really low yield. These pallets were just not worth the effort. Getting close to new shed base quantity. I still can't wait to see how MrJJ will lift the shed up and replace the base without dismantling it :)

I'm only half impressed with my palletbuster because it splits so many planks. Did anyone ever s olve that? It's sooooo satisfying to dismantle a stack of wombled pallets. ...
