Does anyone have any ideas about what the easiest way to build something like this would be? I have access to literally hundreds of these palletes and want to use them instead of leaving them to rot! Any other ideas about using them are appreciated and welcomed as well!! Thank you...

In general, you'd select the best pieces/parts, then cut your scrap wood and form it into any lamp shape you prefer. Sounds like it probably wouldn't take a stain so you may want to prime and paint it, if the wood itself isn't attractive. Then, insert a light kit - available at any hardware store - $5 - $10.

If you're looking for more detailed instructions, an online search would yield tons of options.

Good Luck!
