Craigslist’s free section is a wonderful resource. We’ve found many interesting items there – including a place nearby that always has an ample supply of pallets of all shapes and sizes. Melissa decided to make one into a garden work bench. We had a dead tree in the garden, and rather than uproot the thing, she cut it to a comfortable height and mounted a pallet to the trunk. “C” hooks around the bottom edges make for easy hanging for tools, buckets, etc.
