Constructing an entertainment center out of wooden palettes.

KMS Woodworks on Sep 23, 2012From a simplicity and economic standpoint. Building a lower "case" and have the TV sit on it will be far easier. Pallet wood is short, so getting the strength and height needed for a taller unit would be far more complex.Helpful Reply

KMS Woodworks on Sep 23, 2012You could just build below it and then get a wire guard to cover the cabling that goes up to the tv.Helpful Reply

KMS Woodworks on Sep 23, 2012it looks like your part way there with the wire cover. building a 2 shelf unit to hose the DVD player and other type equipment should be pretty straight forward. Just be sure to leave the back open for wires and ventilation.Helpful Reply

Gail Salminen on Sep 23, 2012Found a site with an idea, you can probably use it as a start and maybe view what others have done with pallets and put a new design together for yourselfhttp://www.palletfurnitureblog.com/pallet-entertainment-centers/ Helpful Reply
