Hi Guys,
Once again Mr ATC sharing with you another idea of housing!!! And this time we will go for some recycling. For this creation I will be just using one pallet slat 😉...
For more pallet creations feel free to join me on my Youtube channel MyATCtv DIY.

Before we start we will give a big shoutout for Birdz of a feather for sharing a very nice article on how to recycle a computer hard drive to create clock.
We put together a list of some of the tools used in the shop on our Amazon Store (affiliate link), if you'd like to support what we do, shop through this link: MyATCtv Amazon Store
But you can also find some of the materals needed below:
Want to make your own?
Follow the steps below to complete this project.
Step 1:
Find the middle of our pallet wood
To start, I will have to determined the middle of this slat in order to trace a line that will help me afterward to create an half circle with my compass…
Step 2:
Cut using a bandsaw
And now that the half circles are made, time to move to my band saw to make the cut.
Before using the router, I will use one wine glass to know where exactly i will need to trace the line in order to create the sliding gaps…
Step 3:
Remove some wood using a router
To properly do it, I am starting at the edge of the slat to slowly drive my way in, until I have reached the limit lines...
Now time to move back to my round over bit in order to round up a little the edges…
But before that as I wanted to make sure all 4 sides are done at the same time, I am moving one last time to the band saw in order to divide them both…
Step 4:
Sanding and apply lacquer
Before going to any painting process, I am moving to my belt sander to this time smooth down both side…
This belt sander is a new one that I just got again from Parkside and if you would like to have more information about it feel free to let us know in the comments below and we'll share a nice article for you...
And remember to keep between both a gap of at least 2.5 cm in order to slide the glasses
Moving now to one of my favorite part, the wood burning… which will create a rustic effect and perfectly match with the kitchen design and color…
Then some sanding…
Followed by some wood lacquer
To finally apply thin layer of transparent spray
Step 5:
Fixing to the cabinet
And note that to fix under the kitchen cabinets, I will be using here some double sided strong tape but keep in mind that this will be only for showing purposes. To properly fix them, I will advise you to create some holes and use screws from around 3 cm long...
I hope that you like it…
