It must be tedious and very time consuming sanding, painting or staining the inside boards of the pallet. Was there a simple way off doing it? And if it was machine sanded did you have to punch ever single nail in as to not tear the sand paper. Maybe it’s just me but this seems like a real pain in the butt. I’m already feeling sorry for anyone being asked to make these by their significant others if there aren’t simple ways to do these.
