Any one looking for patio furniture, make it your self from old pallets. Look at mine so far, still a bit to go but is great to use at night with the chiminea on the got. That was free too..

Hello Robin! I think it looks great. Recycling is all the rage in the U.S.. Well done!
Hey LC my friend. It has cost nothing to make so far. I have a supply of hard wood pallets so they don't even need treated. The chiminea is the drum from a washing machine.
You are a man of many talents. I just had some men haul off the old patio set I bought many years ago. To me, it was not well made so I was afraid to use it. I like your idea better.
Cool. What'd you make the goat out of?
That's great veeg. My next venture is building the kids a play house. Good to see you again.
I wish I had the talent of building some cool stuff....
Very nice stuff y'all got going on.

Thanks Twich. Got the table tiled this weekend. Just finishing touches now. Good to see you here BTW.
So how does it hold up in the weather so far?
Hi Veeg. The wood is Dutch hard wood and doesn't need treated. Holding up well so far. Been using it every weekend since It was built. Her it is now. Table sheeted in and tiled.
Here it is the free chiminea
That looks like the drum of a washing machine.
Good spot LW, that's exactly what it is. Me and my neighbour needed new wood burners for outside so went to the local dump and got 2 washing machines that had been dumped. Took them apart and hey presto, fire for outdoor heating.
Ah!...Now i am liking that...
I took a better look at the wood you used Robin. I know you use a different way of measuring thickness but if I am not mistaken, In the U.S. the thickness of those boards would be what we call 5/4 lumber. Run through a thickness planer and sander I bet the wood you have would be nice for other things as well. What I wouldn't give to get back into wood working.
It's amazing what you can scrounge up in the way of pallets and shipping lumber.
I worked at a place where the aluminium stock that came in was shipped sitting on 4"x4"x4' pieces of hickory wood.
That was some hard stuff, and made an excellent strong work bench you could pound anything on and it wouldn't budge.
