When I used to burn pallets for firewood, those were nailed with nails that
had a ripple on the sides so that they would not back out. I do not
remember the name of those nails. They worked, you could not remove them.
Now they may use air nailers and the coating you talk about may have the
same purpose.

I think they are assembled with nails. At least the ones I watched being
built before. If they have screws, the pry bar idea won't work. You can
grind the heads off just remember it will take a while and everything will
get hot going that route.

I have some cheap flat bars on hand, but what about screws below the
surface. I was thinking about using a dremil tool with a grinder to remove
the head on those.

If you have a Stanley Wonder Bar, that would work great. Some of those
nails are coated so they really stick. Get some space started with a chisel
and then get the tip of the Wonder Bar in the opening. A wonder bar is a
very wide pry bar and it spreads out the prying force so you don't bust the
wood as easily.

Hi Woodworkers
I have written a novel, and the books I bought took four pallets to ship to
me. The Books were printed in Manatoba, I hope that is spelled right. In
fact, the center of the pallets where the boxes met in the middle, was still
frozen when I unpacked the pallets. Two pallets unloaded in front of my
driveway, since they will not unload on gravel, so I had to manually move
two pallets of books to my home.
What I want to do is make a bookshelf out of the pallets. It looks like
they are made of maple and pine. These are not standard pallets, I used to
burn themn for heat in Chicago winters. They are just two by fours with
planks going across. But from a distance they they look the same.
One pallet sat in my car port a couple of weeks, If I don't see something, I
don't remember it is their. At least that is my excuse. But I found that
some of the nails raised on their own, but others have been driven well
below the surface of the wood. One plank on an edge did split along the
nails, and it appears these are standard nails, the shank is about one eigth
in diameter, to maybe three sixteenth. I am not sure but in that range.
How can I get these pallets apart?
Cutting or removing the sunken nails is the primary problem I can see.
