The friendships we make through our time at the markets are so valuable, I always try to make a point of capturing a moment with this legend/friend/mentor . And this year was no exception, made even better because it was on this oversized Santa's chair which I made.

Good evening Pallet peeps, I've recently been spending a bit of time cleaning up and clearing out a section of my shed. I realised that there was too much that I was holding onto, as far as scrap pallet timber goes, and I desperately needed to organise the space as well. After creating a usable space, the next thing I did was to build a cart to store some of the "odd" size pieces of timber and plywood which was either too small for my big tacks or too big for my small rack, so a vertical mobile cart or rack is a really good solution to this problem.

Over the last month of so I have been working on a special project for my favourite granddaughter Stevie. shenanigans suggested that I build her a cubby house. And as some of my projects do, this took on a life of its own and almost became a tiny home.
I did have to buy new plywood for the walls, but everything else was reclaimed or recycled materials (including the insulated roofing sheets, thanks to the marketplace).
I made it in three parts so that transportation and installation would be "easier" not easy.
* The base, made from treated hardwood posts, was very heavy, but at least I know it's going to be pest resistant.
* The walls, made from recycled pallet timber and plywood and then painted in UV rated exterior paint.
* The roof, made recycled pallet timber and claimed installation roofing, which will keep the temperature inside the cubbyhouse/tiny home very cool.
Stevie loves it and thinks that it's her "cafe," so I think a bit of signage will need to be created in the not too distant future.
But to say I'm happy with it is a total understatement. There already talk that it could do with a deck, but we might have to see where this goes as far as design and functionality are concerned.

Ten years ago, this oversized "Santa's Chair" was the biggest piece that I had taken on to build. It was both challenging and exciting to create.
It was first used as a Christmas prop for the end of year celebrations for my kids' TKD Martial Arts school ( ) which was a massive part of our lives. It then went on to have a place at the Pallet Life Cafe in Malney Qld. It made me very happy to see online people tagging photos of themselves interacting and enjoying it as part of their visit to the Cafe and Malney.
It would be interesting to re-create something like this again.
Cheers J

This morning, I was getting this collection of stars ready to be sent off to a customer. When I noticed / was inspired with a new design idea. I think layering the stars like this could look amazing as a singular piece. But I'd love to know what you think, so please let me know if you think this is a hit or a miss.
Cheers J
