Finally found an idea to reuse all the pallet wood! A crate to carry camping stuff in…
Measured a stack of pots and pans the wife gave me and came up with L20xW12xH10.
Had some regular slats and a few larger ones I decided to use for the sides. Also had some 1×2 for leftover reinforcement from the Camper Project.
Actually cut all the pieces to length a couple days before assembly which was fun because I had to think about which pieces would overlap where, and account for the thickness of the other wood in the dimensions.

As it happens, I actually figured it out correctly and assembly was a matter of minutes.

Drilled pilot holes, counter sunk and used 1-5/8 wood screws.

Thinking it needs a lid so it can double as a seat out there!
UPDATE (2011-12-07)
Made the lid. Nice, tight fit.

Gonna leave it at that.
