hi all

i posted a question on here a few days ago about the cheapest wood i could
use for patio furniture and some of you recommended pallet wood. well, i
found a bunch of places around town that had free pallets and brought some
home on the weekend. i failed to realize just how difficult it would be to
take these apart. i realize i could just cut out the sections of wood i
want to use, but i'm trying to keep the boards as long as possible.
anybody find a easy way to take these apart?

Garrett-Wade is stocking a nail puller model 20B03.01 for 35 bucks. My Dad
had one of those, or a very similar tool--they used to be available at
hardware stores before these newfangled "catspaw" things became the fad.
Never saw a nail it couldn't move as long as there was enough clearance to
pull the handle out all the way and put your back into it. Does damage the
wood some though. They've also got a set of that one and a smaller model
for 4 bucks more--20B03.10 is the set.

tks
