what are the measurements of the pallets before you cut them? what are the measurements after you cut them for width and heights once assembled. what are the lengths of the support pieces at the bottom and the angles of the cuts, etc

[@MotherDaughterProjectsDIY]

Assembled: 82” high x 38-1/4” wide x 26.5” depth (at base) Each pallet before cut: 54” x 40” Each pallet after cut: 38-1/4” x 40” Base support: (3) 24” 28-3/4” (2) 32.5” with 45 degree angle on both sides Cover for base 29-1/4” x 14-3/4”

I love the simple fact how beautiful is see mom and daughter work togethers. Now I'm your loyalty follower.😍

[@MotherDaughterProjectsDIY]

Thank you so much Maria!

Use butterfly latches. The kind you find on heavy duty road cases for musicians/DJs etc. You can get fairly big butterfly catches. They flip over like the one you have, but follow with a twist action that pulls the two halves together. Then the "butterfly" handle snaps flat to make it neat.

[@bonnierandall9042]

Yes! this is what i have been looking for! i am building a backdrop for a gun show (we sell shooting gear) and i designed it but i had to research it to make sure i got the right brackets & everything - I watched a bunch of tutorials - but yours is soooo helpful & that LOCK is brilliant and using nuts & bolts so that it's more mobile - mind blown!!!! i wasn't sure how I was going to secure it - seriously so smart! I am excited to build this!!! Also, watching you use that saw made me less scared of it... lol I've used a miter saw but I am terrified of saws! lol I need to get over it because i LOVE building stuff. anyway, LONGEST comment ever - but thank you so much! I'm totally subscribing!

[@MotherDaughterProjectsDIY]

We are so happy this was helpful to you! Mom has been scared of the miter saw for a while too! In this video around 1:50 she shares how she faced it head on: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHPclKagYtGhopo. Good luck with the build- let us know how it goes! -Steph

Omg#! This is just what i need! Im going to try make one for my background for my DJ PODCAST!!!!

[@marianelasuarez447]

OMG geneous, this idea was amazing. I have been looking for videos on how to make the back support. Your vieo was the only one I found. Great job. Thank you both for taking the time to make it.

[@YESSLEEP42]

Great job!!

[@NewYears1978]

Put stood it up and it didn't fall over. hah love it. You guys are adorable, great video.

[@collinspano7791]

This works for window tinting so well

[@pscfoss6711]

[@MotherDaughterProjectsDIY]

[@TheLifescasualty]

Thank you!!!

[@celenesvintageandblooms]

Awesome job beautiful ladies 💕

[@MotherDaughterProjectsDIY]

Thank you!

[@NewYears1978]

Wish I could find some dang free pallets around here.

[@jerseyanntorres4935]

Hi, would like to ask. What do you call the 2nd lock you used? Thank you☺️

[@MotherDaughterProjectsDIY]

Everbilt 2-3/4 in. x 1-1/2 in. Satin Nickel Chest Latches

[@birkins1]

Awesome! Exactly what I was looking for to display my artwork at craft shows. Thank you 👍

[@MotherDaughterProjectsDIY]

You're welcome!

[@jodiescanvases6637]

I was going to say the same thing! exactly what I was looking for that is portable and not different or bulky! I am confident I can push this and carry this into place at my craft shows when my husband can't be there to help! thank you SO much!!!

[@SQUAREise]

It would be great to chase the sun for a plant wall

[@pyleoutnumbered8815]

What keeps it from falling forward? I want to build one with some shelves but worried about it falling forward with the supports only on the back (but I prefer that).

[@MotherDaughterProjectsDIY]

The hinges on the back keep it from falling forward. -Steph

[@pyleoutnumbered8815]

@@MotherDaughterProjectsDIY Well I am building one right now fo rmy YT channel backdrop so we will see how it goes :) Thanks! Love your videos. OH but I mean keep the WHOLE thing from falling forward, not just the top half :) Looks like you have it slightly leaning backward so that probably helps :)

[@MotherDaughterProjectsDIY]

Awesome! Good luck with the project! Oh...well, we thought it would fall forward too but the base really holds it in place. We also keep some stuff stored on the back of the base so that helps. -Steph

[@pyleoutnumbered8815]

@@MotherDaughterProjectsDIY I built it last night, well part of it. I still need to put the stand on it..it was much heavier than I thought lol..dragged it into my office to see how it sized up and man that was tough. Realized once I got it in here I had no way to stand it up had to slap some 2x4's as a makeshift base temporarily lol..and I can't move it back to garage without too much trouble haha! OOPS! Looks nice, just needs the stand/wheels and then sand and stain =D

[@saragagliardi9783]

Where do I find the cut list?

[@lsiehda]

Is this wall able to hold some weight?

[@MotherDaughterProjectsDIY]

I would not put much on it. Maybe 5-10lb it could hold.

[@rivanaprilian6358]

I'm from indonesia

[@WatchMeDIYIt]

Who needs SketchUp? 😂

[@MotherDaughterProjectsDIY]

Haha, right?! Popsicle sticks work perfect for us!

[@msjerseylady]

Do you think this concept would work to create a "champagne wall?"

[@MotherDaughterProjectsDIY]

I had to look to see what a champagne wall is. But having seen one now, I do think with modification, this idea might just work.

[@dreyes1982]

Tyler - did you ever do the champagne wall? I am going to try to build one using this same technique, only difference is that I am going to use butterfly latches.
