Here's an inquiry I got today that maybe someone can help me on?
Thanks,

Do you know of any environmental or do-it-yourself or craft-carpentry group
whcih would have any ideas or plans for small-scale recycling of wood
pallets?
I Iwould like to use wood pallets (available here free for the hauling) to
make raised gardening beds or boxes for container gardening, but I need
practical pointers on the basics: would one rip them apart with a crowbar,
cut them with a circular saw, or are they just too naily and screwy to be
worth the effort?
Can the wood be smashed apart and burned in a wood stove, or would the
presence of metal nails/screws present problems in the stove?
Has anybody put out any booklets or videos, or written any articles, on
wood pallet construction for the home or farm?
Hoping to hear...
