Since this didn't come with directions I figured Josh and I could make it work our own way.
The first thing I need to tell you about working with pallets is that taking them apart is the toughest part of the whole process. For us the best way to take apart the pallets and still get some larger pieces of wood was to take a circular saw and cut as close to the supports as possible. Doing this we ended up with boards about 17 inches long.
For my trunk I decided to use the support pieces (the ones with the notches cut out) as the front and back of the trunk instead of on the sides like the inspiration picture. The trick with this project was to get the right boards to line up and get to the correct width of the trunk. This was a little tricky because each of the boards was a different width and we had to swap out boards to make it the right fit.
Add some dark walnut stain....
And taa daa a complete trunk that is perfect for all of my shoes. (with bonus built in vent holes)
