My buddy and I have been building some beds, im trying to find a good source for cheap lumber for buckets and or lumber to build pallet style beds. I'm in the western Ky area, and help or suggestions would be appreciated.

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.

5 gal buckets $1
Walmart bakery. On Friday or Saturday I can 25+
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
Where are you located? That sounds greatQuote:

No need to do all that work on Cumberland.
Anywhere you would want structure is covered in willow or sycamore.
At summer pool there will be thousands of acres of brush in 15-50 fow.
In places they go all the way to the shoreline.
,Cumberland went from bare banks to more cover than we need.
In another 2-3 years it will be full of bass, crappie, etc.
Now there is so much cover it's hard to find the fish
Oh wow! Sounds like that could make it a challenge trying to find the place where fish like the best........I fish Kentucky and Barkley lakes, there is still plenty of room for improvement on both of them.Quote:
