Steph has been looking for some shelves in her office to hold supplies. We haven't used pipe or pallet wood before in a project so we thought shelves would be a great way to try both materials and get some cool shelves!

- Pallet (they come in different shapes and sizes- we used a pallet that had wood 5.5" wide)
- Sawzall (to cut pallet)
- (2) 3/4" Plumbing Pipe 6" length
- (2) 3/4" Flange
- (2) 3/4" Cap (we priced out each item separately and found it cheaper to buy them in a set on amazon. Same pipes you would buy from the hardware store but it came all together in one package)
- (16) Screws and anchors
Deconstruct the Pallet

We cut the sides off with a sawzall then cut through the middle support, and cut the boards off.
Sand and Seal the Board
