Make An Old Pallet Into A New Picture Frame - Part 2

Part 1: In this video we dismantle an old appliance pallet and use the wood to make a new widescreen picture frame.

Part 2: In part two, we take the picture frame from part one and texturize the frame with wire brushes in an angle grinder and a cordless drill. After that, we apply a gel stain to the textured frame followed by a gel top coat. Leaving us with a beautiful rustic picture frame made from wood that nothing more than debris a few week before.

Coleman Cable Co. Polar/Solar Made in USA Extension cord

Polar/Solar extension cords are terrific. They are lightweight, durable and flexible even in cold weather. They are the only cords I have which don’t become impossible to coil in the winter!

The four outlet cord used in the video appears to be out of production. This is the same type of cord, but with a single outlet.
