Find a factory and get their pallets. Most factories are either trashing them or are sending them back to a pallet company for free. Pallets are a nuisance.

Look around at any construction site & check their "dumpsters" ... usually lots of odds/ends pieces of lumber in those, and possibly even pallets.

Check stores like Lowe's etc. they just throw there's away after they get there shipments in.

Thanks for all the comments, I was wanting to build my own pallets, I've got pallets from work after I add my up rights they get hard to sink. I want to build some with out as much wood in the frame. I'm looking for a cheap saw mill...

I don't build much anymore but when I did, I made friends with the local Amish saw mill guy that would save his rough cut thin scraps and sell them to me for little-to-nothing. If we had to buy more we'd only pay $100 for an entire banded bundle of rough cut lumber and then rip the 6" boards down with a table saw.

Hardwood Mill here sell edge strips from boards 1x1-1x2 10-14ft in length for $10 per bundle which are about 5ft in diameter
