On Thursday, a Hayes Valley Farm volunteer and Permaculture Bootcamp graduate turned their passion into productive power. Wes Frey, in a matter of hours converted trash destined pallets into a beautiful throne which will comfort and provide a relaxing resting space for many members to come.
Want to get inspired to make your own furniture from pallets? Check out our pallet construction pictures and other inspiring pictures.

This is such a great way to use these pallets that I see everywhere here in the city, usually just sitting on the curb or in the corner of some parking lot. Wes and I actually need more furniture for our apartment, and now he can build us some and we can paint it! Such a fun project!! And way to reduce "waste"!

Great way to practice the permaculture principle of "Produce no waste"! I see these wodden pallets just about everywhere here in the city, whether they're tucked away in the corner of a parking lot or just sitting on the curb. Now that Wes knows how to make a chair, we are inspired to make and paint more furniture- a coffee table? nightstands? maybe even a bed! Does anyone have a recommendation for an economical and reliable place to get tools?
