the GF's company have asked me if i can decorate their trade fair stand using Europallets to knock up display/shelving units.
the stand is approx. 100m2
it needs to be easily built. should require little cutting and should be able to be taken apart, stored and re-used.
i've had a bit of a google,but what with STW often throwing up useful tit-bits i thought i'd ask here, too....
this is the sort of thing that i'm talking about:
What's the company's activity?
taylor guitars made a guitar (who'd a thought it 
out of a pallet 
it a design studio/distributor for design studios from all around europe.
Unless you're very, very good then I'd imagine whatever you do will look like a load of pallets.
HTH.
Someone on here made a half pipe out of pallets in their yard.
alpin's a top chippie...can you be more specific alpin?
I have made compost heap 'bins'. Bloke I knew armed with a thicknesser made his own kitchen unit completely of them
I just made a nice 6x2m Mezzanine floor in my workshop out of 3x2m close boarded pallets ;o)
Mwahahaha 
ever made anything out of pallets?
A fire.
Edit, beaten to it.
most of the products are gimmicky, fun, not really world changing items. more stocking filler size stuff as opposed to having to have the car boot open on the way home.
i only found out yesterday that the GF told them i would do it (i didn't, but work is work, hey).
they've got several trade fairs planned for the beginning of next year so it's a fair amount of work, which is nice.
Edit: i think there are 300+ products in total... whether or not all of them will be displayed, i don't know...
still flicking through google images. lots of things there, but nothing concrete as yet.
I once made a pallet out of some pallets.
We made all these (partly) out of pallets;

I made a pile of wood out of some pallets.
Make a dragon.
Bish bosh, job done.....
do not google "pallet t" when the missus is around.... 
Ahh, you mean don't google pallet t then look at the images!
I see now, as does Mme Crikey 
As per BigYinn, bonfires.... In fact I need to track down a few for NYE...
I needed a couple of work surfaces next to my folding machine, which had to fit a smallish space, and be high enough for me to comfortably stand at and knock up the folded bundles and put into boxes. We have lots of printers pallets, which are around 600x960, and are generally quite well finished.
I found that seven of them stacked to exactly the right hight, and a sheet of particle board that came strapped to the top of the paper stack hot glued to the top made a perfect table, with lots of little shelves to stash stuff. Would work well in a shed.
You will need a motorbike mind
ok, had aword with the marketing guy....
he wants tables, chairs/benches and shelving. other pallets will be stacked up to form larger display areas.
the stand will be made up of individual units representing each of the studios they represent.
ghetto quarterpipe, vert wall and jump box in an abandoned warehouse
Tell him its a dragon or the deal is off..
@ rorschach....
i was kinda hoping that that was the sort of thing they were after, but for now he's a little less "out there".
a simple trade fair stand using pallets instead of your typical trade fair furniture/display stuff.
@ crikey...
i'd like to, but i fear he may have no idea of what i was on about.... that is pretty much the feeling i have about you at the momnet.... 
Sod the rest of the thread pallet t is a work of genius.
Used to regularly nick em and make all manner of things. Great for making window boxes, nesting boxes, insect houses, compost bins, greenhouse shelves etc
Dont use the nice blue painted ones, GKN Chep are quite keen on thenm not being used for anything else and will take action against offenders.
nah... they're going to be painted white with a few being painted red and biege (what ever that is).
I'm suggesting making a wooden dragon out of pallets, about human size. Tricky, but cool as...
have a look on http://www.thecoolhunter.net there may be something there in the design section.
i've made stuff from pallets before the tricky thing is if you have to dismantle them, they're well nailed together!

use screws?
what have you made?
i've made a bench and a compost holding thingy for my mum's allotment.
any ideas welcome, including dragons.
PSA: don't look up videos of pallet making
they're monumentally dull
Make sure you use the heat treated pallets. The chemical treated ones might not be so good for close proximity in trade fairs after a while.
