Step 2: Take the pallet apart. This is not easy and takes some muscle. Mr. Wonder- ful would be a great help for this step. Once disassembled, lay the boards from the top of the pallet against each other.
Next determine what size and shape you want for your clock, i.e. circle or square. For a circular clock, find the center, and using a tack, string and pencil, carefully draw the outline of the circle.
ecause pallet wood is all the rage, here’s a fairly simple tutorial on making a rustic, personalized clock for your abode. Step 1: Obtain a pallet. There
are various pallet companies to call like Midwest Pallet, Ace Pallet Service, Reardon Pallet Co., Pioneer Pallet Brokerage Co., and B&T Pallet Co., all in the downtown Kansas City area (see our resources box for contact info). There are also companies that receive deliveries and then need to dispose of the pallets. Basically, just being in the right place (side of the road, for example) at the right time can land you a pallet, but having a good connection is always a plus, as well.
