Question for dime - what's the best way to take apart a pallet to get the most usable pieces? reciprocating saw thru the nails?

If you have one yeah try the Saw.
That said you can still find yourself with bogey wood
It’s a lot more effort but I find that if the wood survives banging it off the frame with a lump hammer and crow bar, it’s going you survive whatever purpose you’re putting it to, does that make sense? Tbh I’ve never used one of those saws myself though I have been tempted but if you haven’t bought one yet, look up duck bill pallet breaker online.
It’s a metal bar with two lips that takes apart pallets easily. It’s only useful for the types of pallets most commonly used in the states so it’s no good to me, otherwise I’d have one. It’s a lot cheaper that a reciprocating Saw too.

Anything else you need a hand with just shout. I’m here.

My friend hired me to make a table for his boyfriends Christmas present.
So I did this. I wanna paint the inner deck a cherry red gloss, I know I’d like it but I’m not sure his boyfriend will. Tough Decisions...I don’t like them

This is gonna be a double helix lamp. So it’ll be twice as tall as this. About 2ft tall when finished. First part is done. I’m liking it
