    [​IMG] Handsome stuff mackem... Amazing what a rough old pallet can turn into.. [​IMG] :D I especially like the plate though, very nice... [​IMG] You will have to wrack your brains for some designs of your own... Then it could be your work you are looking at in the shops..... ;) [​IMG]

    Mackem,

    I showed these to hubby, he couldn't beleive they were made of pallets, he thought you had bought them until he read the dialogue.

    Well done [​IMG] [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Well done mackem, you must have some patience, and are certainly skilled.

    I must add my well-done to the others, it is really amazing what beautiful things you have made from pallets. If you hadn't of told us, then we'd never have known. Marley is right, see about getting your things into shops to sell. I wish you all the best of luck, mackem.

    You might be doing things slowly mackem, but there is no fault to find on anything. You won't have anyone tell you that it is a sloppy piece of work. Keep it up and keep us posted.
