Wooden pallets

I am making the kiosk out of wooden pallets that I have found around Nottingham.  They come in various standard thicknesses which I can cut down quite easily.   They are suitable for the project because they don't cost anything and are very easy to get hold of, I am also giving the wood a second life.

The pallets can be taken apart fairly easily (some more than others) with a small metal wedge tool and a hammer.  I tried saw the pallets apart as little as possible so I could get the longest possible pieces.

To cut down on energy used in processing I have hand planed the wood to make a smooth and even surface.  Also there is risk with the wood through a machine planer because there may still be nails left in.
