… good advice.
anyway, thanks for all the suggestions folks
im back, im happy
So, my dad and i went on a 7:30 Hiatus through the streets of Newcastle in search of pallets, it was fruitful indeed.
in less than an hour we had, ahem, ‘liberated’ 5 pallets, in three separate runs.
2 longish ones, one normal square one, and two absolutely huge CEDAR ones that i have to modify to make them easier to live with (cut the cardboard pad of each and get onto em with the circular saw) to make 5 pallets, into 7.
I am so happy:)
well my dad has them laying around his factory so when i go there i just setup a track with them. Hes got so much crap in his factory so i can make quiet a good lil trials course with all the stuff around the place.
Also if your looking for pallets look in the industrial areas coz sometimes theres some laying around that there giving away for free maybe coz there a little bit broken. easily fixed but they dont have time to fix em so they just give them away. Also in empty blocks of land in the industrial areas theres pallets laying around there too. Ppl dump all sorts in empty blocks of land. Be careful of syringes though.
Do “standard” pallets have big gaps between the boards? I got a few from a contractor friend and they work, but they are dicey. I see in some pictures from Kris Holm’s book that the ones at trials competitions seem to have very little gaps…
it depends on were you are. in tn they are tight and in ohio they are one of each.
