Pallet stripping tool!!!!!!!!!!

[saint-spoon]

No worries Steve, I am sure that there are many out there who have made their own pallet splitting tools in the past. A quick look at google brings up any number of similar designs, at the end of the day it is a lever with a shaped end; it is just unfortunate that your version caused a bit of a discussion about copyrights. It is my opinion that by making your own pallet splitter you have displayed a degree of the DTL spirit in taking the initiative to make your own rather than shell out £40+ (was that figure correct) on quite a simple tool; we have an entire section devoted to being frugal and splitting pallets. Anyway well done for making your own (or getting your Dad to make one for you), and I do find it quite unfortunate that we had to have the discussion about copyrights.

As a post script, I have just been reading a post on pallet splitting in another forum, the author had made their pallet splitter, very similar to the one that you made, by copying a design from someone else, just goes to show that it is not an uncommon practice.

Hi Steve,

Don't worry. Like Saint-Spoon, I did a bit more googling around, absolutely loads of them.

Ahh well, just showing initiative. It I can get it made for nothing I will as would any of us. Didnt mean to cause upset.

Of course we would, if we could.

If I remember rightly, our very own Lord Lane did a similar thing with the egg skellter.

and there was me thinking that Dickie had taste...

[p.penn]

Yes he does. Bad taste.

[Richard]

I was quite proud of that...

A lot of investment went into it, I lost two eggs in production.

WELL DONE RICHARD UP THE SKELTERS

Your egg skelter pelter is very nice Richard but will it strip a pallat ?

No but if he runs out of eggs he could alway hang a coat or something on it.
unless someone else thought of it first.

You can all laugh, it's quite technical getting the exact dynamics and velocity of egg rolling right.
Have to say I was short of buyers at £16.95 (exc p&p).

I'm not posting the picture of my home made snow scraper.
