Just thought I'd bring everybody up to speed with the new a·vant-garde style of woodworking, which I'm sure will be replacing the use of pallet wood.
While browsing web sites dedicated to antiques & furniture for inspiration, I came across this new style of furniture that I'm sure all will be able to make, beginners & seasoned woodworkers alike. For more on this new craze, see the websites below. So sell off your precision hand tools & invest in good construction grade equipment.

I wouldn't even have that nasty looking mess in my shop for shop furniture. That mess is a pathetic excuse for furniture. If I took something home like that to my wife she would toss me back out the door on my head. No way would I show that mess to any of our clients either nor would I build a piece of it for anyone

haha good one jwmalone. Thanks for the humor today. .

That dude will probably get raved reviews for it in NYC. Here in these mountains he would get asked why did you mess up all that good construction grade stuff, have you lost your mind?

01ntrain,
First and foremost, thank you for your service, much appreciated.
That guy was ahead of his time, should have saved his work for the USA where some rich smuck would pay top dollar for it.
Live and learn.

Cheap. ill beat ya its any thing but cheap, dollar wise anyway. I know what you mean BurlyBob. I'm still laughing at this stuff. And speaking of pot, I have never smoked it but if I ever do I will not buy what that guy is smoking. Ill go to Willie Nelsons dealer at least that stuff inspires worth while contributions to prosperity.

Hey whats all the bad vibes guys, its OSB
Oriented Strand Board
Get the right grade and you can build house framing with it!

I hauled some out of the dump bin and made a tool box for my Ute! mainly as I had never worked with it before.

I was curious as to its durability

Still going strong and was a hit with kids when I left it in the front yard on Haloween!!

Not sure I could cop furniture in my house with it though.
