Hi guys,
I am back to you again to share with you another idea of housing through recycled materials and in this project I will be showing how I am making a practical coat hanger using reclaimed pallet wood.
First of all! Join us here at MyATCtv DIY to see more...

In the image here, you can already see can already have a look of the final result:
Here is a quick preview video of the build:

Step 1:
Dismantle the pallet wood
The best for this step will be to use 2 hammers to dismantle the pallet and remove the nails from the wood.

![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a27d24_9022c68b6c17410994f014bf0b853ec5~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_552,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/a27d24_9022c68b6c17410994f014bf0b853ec5~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg)
Step 2:
Cleaning and reducing the wood thickness
To clean and reduce the wood thickness, I will be here using a Metabo planer for the larger piece of wood and also the pallet wood slats.
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a27d24_6c3fb0d698e6469486eadfcd74d94643~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_552,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/a27d24_6c3fb0d698e6469486eadfcd74d94643~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg)
When done with this I have all cleaned and ready to be worked on
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a27d24_40fd2e757f4f43168cc872d451ab81ec~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_552,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/a27d24_40fd2e757f4f43168cc872d451ab81ec~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg)
Step 3:
Designing and cutting the wood
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a27d24_d1fb2515401f4a2792ac5bce0eb849a2~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_552,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/a27d24_d1fb2515401f4a2792ac5bce0eb849a2~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg)
To trace the different lines and other forms I will be using my construction ruler and my frame square.
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a27d24_4224ad08c1e64643b239915acc87951b~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_552,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/a27d24_4224ad08c1e64643b239915acc87951b~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg)
Step 4: The power tool cut
At this stage, I am first using my miter saw to cut and remove the broken and dirty part of the wood
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a27d24_553bd02b6baf45c58744428caf49fbee~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_552,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/a27d24_553bd02b6baf45c58744428caf49fbee~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg)
Then moving after my table saw
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a27d24_2cf51e92769b4e6e808a51b44ea7fd5a~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_552,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/a27d24_2cf51e92769b4e6e808a51b44ea7fd5a~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg)
Here i can already see how i would place the different wooden slats to form the design.
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a27d24_a9ed3b10d4374fb58829a2692c02c619~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_552,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/a27d24_a9ed3b10d4374fb58829a2692c02c619~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg)
Then moving the router table to round up the edges on the wall support wood using the round over Edging Router Bit.
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a27d24_3065cf3846ee4a44bf7824d450ac1975~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_552,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/a27d24_3065cf3846ee4a44bf7824d450ac1975~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg)
After that i am moving to the band saw to design the different hooks which will be fixed on the wooden support.
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a27d24_3bb455b369744043ae1ae39b401e3d86~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_552,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/a27d24_3bb455b369744043ae1ae39b401e3d86~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg)
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a27d24_bd5a8ff3d43a4797bd7dcd6f25e7a7ae~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_552,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/a27d24_bd5a8ff3d43a4797bd7dcd6f25e7a7ae~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg)
But before fixing them to each other I will first smooth down the edges using my disc sander
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a27d24_26d69e4e46e241389b04c849cab4383c~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_552,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/a27d24_26d69e4e46e241389b04c849cab4383c~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg)
Then creating the openings using again my router but this time with a straight bit
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a27d24_91e86d91479a4fe39daaab580475e858~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_552,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/a27d24_91e86d91479a4fe39daaab580475e858~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg)
And here we are with the wooden slat inserted into the wall support
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a27d24_b872eaaf04384ba68518985328ee3931~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_552,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/a27d24_b872eaaf04384ba68518985328ee3931~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg)

![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a27d24_5d9846bd4dcb477faf9e40829742ab07~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_552,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/a27d24_5d9846bd4dcb477faf9e40829742ab07~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg)
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a27d24_ea79745c67e149028bf406a4ac337f91~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_552,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/a27d24_ea79745c67e149028bf406a4ac337f91~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg)
To make sure they stay attached, i will be using screws inserted from the back of the support (before screwing i will advise you to pre-drill the holes to avoid breaking the wood)
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a27d24_89250e6b59db4bb8b0bd0db1d8b5c655~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_552,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/a27d24_89250e6b59db4bb8b0bd0db1d8b5c655~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg)
To finally create 2 holes which will help you to hang the design to the wall
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a27d24_fe1b59750afc4d6fbef4eed582db9144~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fill/w_980,h_552,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/a27d24_fe1b59750afc4d6fbef4eed582db9144~mv2_d_5184_2920_s_4_2.jpg)

Before putting on the wall I will advise you to double check if you don't have any pipes or cables by using a Walabot DIY device which happens to be the sponsor for this project. If you need more information about this device please check the following link: Walabot DIY

Et Voila!!!
When done and if trying this recycled project, you should end up with a pretty nice hanger coat in your house
