I Love To Watch Industrial Grade Shredding Machines Tear Up Things Like Barrels, Cars, Tires, etc.

@4meAndyou I watched a video of a man in Canada who looks for offers of free pallets. He will drive over and inspect the pallets. If the wood is good enough he will take them and tear them down and make the most beautiful pieces of furniture out of them including inlaid wood. He films the process of each and shows the final products and them posts asking prices then updates it at the end of the videos. Makes a really tidy sum of money, his quality is excellent. At least one person paid him more than what he asked. That is the best use I’ve seen for used wood pallets.

@cherokeepatti TRULY trash to treasure...I love that stuff! Used to do a tiny bit of that myself.

@4meAndyou I would love to be able to do that stuff. He is a pro so had a lot of equipment in his small one-car garage and had everything set up to do it. I just love watching creative people make things out of discarded items. This country would be much better off if many more would do it and get away from corporate purchases a bit more. And they would have unique pieces of furniture too. Not mass-produced.

@cherokeepatti They are just as deserving as the punishment.

@NativePortlander1970 I could tell you a good story about a family member but won’t post it here.

@cherokeepatti I understand

@NativePortlander1970 That machine would be well worth the price even if just for entertainment purposes. I bet some people would pay money to be able to feed it an odd assortment of things just to watch them get destroyed. Here is someone’s money-making idea. Maybe for a school fundraiser. They used to have an old car at a rural grade school and on fund-raiser nights would charge a few dollars for people to take swings at that car with a sledgehammer. Good therapy too if you need to get something out of your system with an ex…feed their photos and other things they left behind in it. Video it and post online, hehe.
