DIY Wooden Pallet Pipe Shelf

Every one loves to decorate their home and want to find a perfect place to be shown in the room. DIY Shelves tend to help the most when it comes to decoration, which is why I thought to make one out of the pallets. If you have some pallets in your home then try to make a simple pallet pipe shelf. It looks unique and different where you can make three-step pallet pipe shelf as well. Starting from the top, the smallest then medium size and ending with the largest. You can also place frames on it accordingly like making a family tree on the pallet pipe shelf

It is made from the simple board of pallets keeping the space in between to keep the magazines or newspaper. You can place a beautiful flower pot to make it look beautiful and attractive. By making the smooth surface of the pallet pipe shelf, paint it like the wood color so that it would look clean and tidy. The pipes are attached to the wall from the bottom of the shelf going in to the wall to keep it tightly hold. Do not prefer to put something heavy on pallet shelf so that the pallet wood does not crack, just keep the things which are light and for the sake of decoration.

Making a simple wall shelf

This wall shelf is going to be installed above the bench I made in the previous post. It took all of about 2 hours to make this, so it is very easy! It consists of 3 peices (2 brackets and the shelf). I put a simple curve design on each bracket with the band saw, and used the router to give everything a smooth rounded edge. I spaced the brackets at 48" apart, which gives me a chance to sink a nail into a stud (assuming there is a stud at the 48" mark)! I used a keyhole bit in the router to make slots in the back of the brackets - this is how it hangs on the wall. This also makes it easy to hang it level, because you set the nails first, making sure they are level, then simply hang the shelf! The shelf will be painted as well. Here is a picture of a keyhole bit.

Entryway bench and shelf

A little of everything happened today! I spent most of the day planing down more white oak for the other side of the arched door. This process takes time because white oak is so dense, and it does not just zip through the planer!

At the end of the day, Ive applied a coat of poly to the new cabinet doors, and also to the shelf and bench, which are now black. This particular peice is distressed, as you can see. When I painted it, I backed out the screws, and reset them when the paint was dry. This leaves the screw head exposed, giving it more decoration.

Ive also shortened up the spray booth so it fits on the work table. It was too unmanagable the way it was, and it is still effective being smaller.
