I never got to do a contest before. There's tons of pallets where I work, so I'm in!

Sounds great to me. There is a van conversion place nearby that always has pallets out for the trash. After the new year though, as you said.

power tools arnt cheating they are just a faster way to get to the end. plus a lot of us dont have all the hand tools nessasary to build a guitar. like a drill i have 4 or 5 of them laying around all power.

I just found a pallet in my barn that has some good hard wood and is reaaally old too then I saw this post!
Actually I found a stack of about 10 on my barn looks to me like I can get about 4 necks out of each pallet.
I have made stuff from pallet wood before and if you know which ones to look for there is some great wood in there.

Tim, I was kidding ... even the thought of getting pallet-wood smooth without a sander is pretty horrific. :-)))
