Can’t wait to smear some of this sexy butter all over my wood PROJECT! 😜 fantastic product mate! Well done 👍🏻

I mainly watch this type of content and I really appreciated your commentary on making and mental health, extremely relatable for so many yet not something you see talked about much. The great editing style, showing the thought process with the work, all the mistakes, a shop NOT full of 100k worth of tools and producing such great work is really inspiring. Thank you and Subscribed!

Great to see you again last night Dave and congrats on hitting 10k in just over 1 year, an incredible achievement. I hope you enjoy the master-crafted plaque! 🤣🤣

really nice design. Good job

Great video mate.

Nice steel capped thongs, love it same as mine.

LOL Same as Goldenbanjo I'm so jealous of your pallets, I like to look in Skips when people convert there roofs, Looking forward to more projects.

Australian pallets are a lot better than ours !

Nice work.😊

What the ell does a guy gotta do

Excuse my ignorance but are all palettes made of the same wood? Awesome videos brother!

@5:55 You sure that's enough glue?

That pallet wood would cost a Grand in the UK.

Just a heads up, I chopped the first joint of my left thumb while using a chisel holding the wood exactly like you did at 22:22 - Luckily it was sharp and I lived next to the hospital so it could get reattached BUT you might not be so lucky <3 Please be careful xx

Also, the sandals! You sir, are one brave fellow.

Love the faux Joy Division soundtrack

Nice workbench. But that's never ever an regular palett, that's hardwood 🤣 Greating's from an german carpenter

Thank God for the fast forward button.

That bench belongs in your living room

👍❤️🫂. Gracias 🫂🫂

You need a lozenge

You should really think your foot wear in the work area. Flip flops lifting a couple hundred pound table top not the smartest thing. You got away with it but wait until you don’t.

That pallet wood is like no pallet wood I have ever seen

this is awesome thanks for doing this

My wife bought me this table saw for my birthday 🎁 Im going to put some of your ideas into an existing large table I’ve got to house the table saw 😁👍🏻

This isn’t a video about a bench as much as it is a video of a hipster wanking off. Don’t get me wrong, there’s a bench, but 90% wanking, 10% bench. And yes, I’m just jelly bro🤷‍♂️😂

Yalls pallet wood is way better than ours here in the USA. Impressed

I like your workbench and your tools. It is no special stuff and you explain your thoughts and mistakes! Nice video, calm voice and relaxed music. Like that! Thanks man! Greetings from Austria ;)

That's not fair. The stuff you make your pallets out of looks nicer than anything I can get at Lowe's or Home Depot here in the U.S.

What a great workbench, and such a well told story, too. Your camera angles, narration, humour, background music ...all made it a compelling watch. It's rare that I'll watch a woodworking video the whole way through but in this case I was very glad to give it my full attention. I can see huge potential for you and your channel. Greetings from the UK...

The workbench came out beautifully. For your first and first for some of the methods used, you did an incredible job. I do like the randomness and variation in color you get from pallet wood. So you decided not to incorporate the table saw? You can always make a cart the same height, using similar wood on wheels that you can use with the workbench as an outfeed table. And you can still roll it off to the side when not in use. I made a 6-ft long circular saw crosscut jig using linear rails and it is so easy to use, dead accurate that I use my tablesaw anymore. I keep a dado stack on a radial arm saw, for dados, and rabbits when needed. I have yet to use pallet wood for a big project yet. I'm thinking of covering the OSB walls with it in my shop. Best of luck and that you for sharing this journey with us!

What finish did you put on the table top?

@MelbourneMaker hi mate, great little project you did there, really turned out nice! I’m planning a similar bench build and I have a lot of pallets that are all the same and decent quality timber. My question is, how dry did you have it before starting to work with it? I also would like to fill the build and have it as one of my first larger builds for my channel (currently in the process of naming etc) everyone’s got to start somewhere eh? Any info would be banging so thanks if you’ve taken the time to read this. I’ll definitely carry on watching your videos and see your progress come along, it’s great to see, inspiring and encouraging. Thanks again man. Gaz 🇬🇧

I have a lathe that can make a handle for you. Just give me dimensions.

You can use a deck of cards to make adjustable height shims ( more cards higher shim,less cards ,well you can figure it out)

okay... what is it with you youtube woodworkers and wearing GOD DAMNED FLIP FLOPS. GET SAFETY BOOTS! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? Jeeeez Louise. And tell me "they are soo uncomfy and heavy" mimimimimi. You only have one pair of feet and loosing toes is way more damaging than you think. Destroys your sense of balance, and if you are unlucky the toe (which doesnt even exist anymore) gives you phantom pain for the rest of your life. By all the gods this makes me angry.

the amount of times I said to myself "why didn't I think of that with that project" in this video is insane Thanks for a great video!

I notice the juxtaposition of pallet hunting in a BMW M-Sport. (M3?) oh, and the cutting up and taking of the CHEP pallet immediately after telling us that this isn't kosher.

That is beautiful, even with the small mistakes! I love pallet wood, although I tend to use it for "sacrificial" benches, especially the rare structural ply pallet find. They make great sacrificial bench tops. I need a nail remover. I hadn't realised how much until I watched you break up the pallet(s?) you used. I've seen people build guitars (including acoustic) out of pallet wood, so recycling pallets is even good enough for musicians of a lofi persuasion, at least. (I hate the tonewoods myth - it's denuding rainforests for untalented teens. I was one of those untalented teens 45 years ago, so I'm allowed to say that.)

Make yourself a small ~10mm "hole saw" from a thick wall tube of some sort by just grinding/filing some teeth into one end. It will help tremendously in getting those nails out that snapped off even with the surface (at least ones you actually notice in time :) , just put the 'saw' over the nail and drill down 5-10mm. The saw will quickly create a neat pocket around the nail, allowing you to grab it with locking pliers. As a side note, when cutting sharp angles on the combination miter saw, do lock the 'miter' function so it's just a chop saw, and do brace your hand against something (or better yet, clamp the piece down with something other than your hand). Last thing you want is for the saw blade to catch and jump up and over the board, pulling your hand into itself in the process.

the safety first guys must be furious watching this :D chisel against the hand, standing above the saw in slippers :D

Very much impressed my friend.

Awesome video, really enjoyed watching it. Your honesty and authenticity m is so refreshing!

Great project. If you're worried about your clamps denting pine wood just slip some plywood shims between the piece and the clamping blocks (you can even tape them onto the clamps to stop them dropping out when working on your own). Keep it up.

Beautiful bench!

Great build mate! Always pleasure to watch

I hope you know that wood dust is not healthy.

that is nothing like the pallets we get in uk, they are made from crap wood. Your wood looks like retail quality

I love this the voice is very much Leyland brothers

Is there a benefit to using the thin pieces of timber on the legs? Also is it hard to make the jig you used or to get the thin pieces of timber?could dowels do same job??
