Hello. I'm from the Philippines. I came across your video in June 2020. Something clicked inside my head while watching it. I now have a pallet wood workbench with a tool wall. It was my first time ever to hold and use power tools. Wish I can upload a picture and show you my workbench. I'm a complete novice but I am pretty pleased with it. Can't thank you enough for this video.
have you done it yet? i’m thinking about it but i don’t have any experience with building. i just got gifted a power drill and impact driver and i’m eager to test them out
My tip for getting even gaps when you're spacing slats: place another slat or small piece of wood in between the slats while you're screwing them in, then move and repeat. More reliable than measuring! Thanks for the great video 😌 these pallet videos are very inspiring. Any tips for tidying up your pallet timber when it's damaged or warped? I've collected lots of pallets lately but they're all different widths and thicknesses which makes building with them extra tricky!
That was a very cool video. Easy to follow, logical. If you took 2 of these benches placed side by side you now have a 4 ft x 8ft long, 35" inches high very usable work bench. Add 2 heavy duty caster wheels to make bench mobile. Plus, great example of how to use JUST the pallet wood as souce to build complete pallet. The add on back shelf by inserting half of other pallet....brilliant.
Just discovered your channel. Takes a lot to impress this old guy but you did! Very clear instruction and showed it could be made with basic tools. I’m fortunate to have a number of power tools. You worked fast but not too fast and are an excellent teacher. Of course I subscribed! Many thanks!
You make it look so easy, thought it would take me a couple of hours but it took me 8, probably because I wasn't using power tools. Well chuffed with the result. Thanks for a great video!
Thanks Craig. I'm gonna give this a go as it looks simple enough for me. I made a wooden planter to get me started on my DIY again, which I really enjoy 😉
Very nice video Craig. Thanks for sharing. Kindly ignore the selfish comments from others who don't appreciate what you showed us and think they know it all. Perhaps your video isn't for them and they should go elsewhere. Please continue to show us more. Many thanks.
Craig can't believe I came across your channel, I know your a professional carpenter, but you make it look so simple, gives me confidence to have a go thanks
I've just made a Work bench out of a single bed frame ...and strengthened it up with pallet wood.+ a bit of 3"x 2"..It's in the attic So it's gonna be there for ever!! (everything get's dumped in MY attic (wife) and I needed a bench) so stripped off the padding revealing a 6ft x 3ft (old school no MMs in my brain), perfect size. Now all I gotta do is a lot of trips to the Corpy Dump, to give me space for MY JUNK heh heh. Great vid Craig
Nice little work bench. Thanks for showing me my first project! looks easy enough to make, and best of all, no router as I don't have one. With this, I can start making all my other home projects I needed. Thanks for this posting.
Hola! 🖐I first saw this video over a year and a half ago. I could not find you since and you popped up again today! Now I have subbed and I look forward to watching more of your content. You have a really fine way about teaching and explaining. I have a massive amount of pallet wood for taking on some projects. Take care and have a good one, Adios!👊
I was going to behave myself and not spend anything until the end of the month..you’re video had just chucked that idea out the window 😂 I only clicked on because I need a set of tools to start up my river table hobby, and these tools are so inexpensive! I wanted to see how they worked, you’ve now convinced me on my first set of tools! Great video thank you!
Maybe you could show how to make desk with a center and side drawers. One with no back, short back and a tall back desk. I am building one with a tall back as a room type divider with shelves and the back can be used to hang pics, a shelf or all kinds of other things could be hung on the back. I am sure it would take a couple of videos to do all the desks.
I already got the same skeletal framework with those skids as legs so they very strong, were you marked ends I cut halfway thru then glue an screw them square as I could Have a 2x3 bit of kitchen worktop I used, with this glued then screwed at rough 45 degree into underside inside an out added metal brackets to help secure all together just finishing off now
A great simple straightforward solution, perfect for those of us with beginner skills. How are we gonna improve if we don’t make ourselves a bench and storage area?
Thanks for sharing this, I'm looking at building a new workshop and was thinking of using Pallets to make new benches. You've given me a lot of great ideas to accomplish this.
Thank you Craig for this ,this is a good affordable work bench,especially if you get your pallets for nothing,it,s good to see people making stuff with the minimum amount of tools . By the way did you build the bench you use to work on, if so is there going to be a video of this .thanks again
This is awesome. Luckily, at my work we get the same exact really nice pallets every couple weeks that we throw away so I shouldn't need to do much cutting! Really excited to try this myself soon.
Thanks a lot! Even I may be able to construct this workbench after your excellent, easy to understand explanation. I will definitely "subscribe" for further tips.
for the frame construction corner joins, use a speed square - measure out a perfect 90deg angle, otherwise it will come out crooked, speed sq is a life saver
Where in the world do you get pallet wood with no old nail holes. I've never seen a pallet where you could pull the nails and the hole close up! Magical!
Tim Loer i was wondering the same thing! And perfectly straight with no forklift damage... and he is screwing into the end-grain without pre drilling, Old dry pallet wood would split if you even thought about doing that. Ha ha. But that’s what you get from Someone who’s tools Look like they just came out of the box...
@@Jimlbonner maybe just a little hard on the guy but after 19 years in the pallet business I would say that most pallet wood isn't ready to build with unless you prep it first. Rough cut wood is often uneven and building something straight and square with it can be a challenge that will lead to disappointment for most beginners. An item like this isn't hard to make with palletwood and it doesn't have to be perfect. Good thing cause it won't be. Notice someone suggested he sell "plans". No plans needed for something this simple. Just the material, a few tools and a functional mind. Anybody should have a square handy as they build and I'd use construction adhesive like liquid nails, not wood glue.
He dint get them from a pallet because 2x4 used on pallets are undercut which gives pallet jack and fork lifts to pick up from underneath so no way those 2x4 are from a legitimate pallet he bought at store at some point
Great video, really simple instructions. I built my workbench this weekend, with only some simple modifications! Next up your tool storage cubby! Thanks for making these videos!
@@adamjonkie5601 I added a pegboard on the back of the workbench for tool organization and also added some locking wheels in order to move the bench when necessary.
looks great will be a good shop work bench I like to work outside with lots of fresh air so i got to build a steel one the same size but with cypress wood top for weather resistant .....going to build a small tv stand lil smaller than the work bench you built for inside my new car garage ill build it out of pallets
Wow, so many haters. I would like to make one constructive comment. Perhaps use the smaller drill for the pilot holes and the larger drill for driving the screws.
I like this guy. Maybe it's just his accent or his balls out way of woodworking but I like him. The tools, IDK. Never used Silverline and don't see them much where I live.

Thanks Thomas, hope you enjoyed the video! Check out some of our others for more tips and builds!
I feel like Sean Connery is teaching me.. and I love it!
I need to make a table and I have pallets lying around

Wow, just saw your cabinet with a door as well as this work bench, and I must say that you are one talented furniture, sir! You have quite the eye!
Many thanks for your kind words Stephanie
I may just have to make one of these for my small outdoor garden space , since I intend to build a shed out there anyway.
Great idea!
Cleaver man i remember seeing you on BB years ago. Always worked, learning trade after trade. Hats off good man 👍
Couldn't agree more

beautiful. i love it. clear instruction. clear shots. all around great video--well done!
Many thanks
I like your technique of how to build and use cheap wood. Nice
Cheers Benbon

Thats the nicest pallet wood ever.
Theres loads of great stuff around if you search for it. you waist a bit breaking pallets up to get the best stuff. but we always find a use for it.
Great job!! Easy to understand and didn’t need very many tools either! Very good video!!
Thanks 👍
This is a wonderful design, perfect for the pile of pallet wood I've been holding on to. Thank you for this video!
Your welcome
It is a great job ! Greetings from Hidalgo, Mexico!
Thanks! Greetings from Somerset, England
Absolutely brilliant video. Really straight forwards. Got the items ready. Cant wait to have a go

Thanks Mike

Found yet another useful handy youtuber,thanks heaps for this video mate!!
No problem 👍 plenty more how to's on the channel
Great stuff Craig. I hope you are doing well.

Thanks you we're pleased we could help.
You work really fast and efficiently 👌
Thanks Amethyst
Wow! You made that look easy. I like working with pallets. TFS
I am your fan after seeing this video ! Great job !!

Glad it was helpful!
Hats off to you Sir. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Craig is pretty generous like that
Thanks Graziano! Hope you enjoyed it
Amazing video, I’ve modified and built this work bench all from pallets. Up next, adding another 4ft bench along side
What a neat piece of work, many thanks Craig!
This is awesome. Luckily, at my work we get the same exact really nice pallets every couple weeks that we throw away so I shouldn't need to do much cutting! Really excited to try this myself soon.
Hi. Please note. Everything but the the table top was not made out of pallets.
Thanks a lot! Even I may be able to construct this workbench after your excellent, easy to understand explanation. I will definitely "subscribe" for further tips.
Many thanks Mike, I hope it turned out well.
Nice little weekend project.
Agreed! You going to give it a go?
Wow good idea. Thank you for inspired me for this diy pallet. One more project for me at my garage.
Your very welcome
Very good video. You have a 'knack' for explaining things clearly :)
Many thanks Mike

As well as being cheap, I like the look of the pallet bench..perfect for the mancave. Thanks
Thanks
Good idea, explained with enthusiasm.

Nice job
Well done
Also can be a great person over there shearing your skills.
Thanks
Very true!
Dit is een zeer inspirerend filmpje. Een heel goed idee die ik ook ga maken. Bedankt!!!
Great video Craig👍👍
Thanks Ed
Great table making skills
Absolutely amazing 🤝
Thank you 🙌
Great video Craig 👍
Thanks Richard
Brilliant and easy to follow, thanks 👍
Thanks Jon
firstly you need a workbench to make a workbench lol
Thanks sir. I am starting a project next month and trying to keep costs down to a minimum. Pallets are free and I can build that in a hour or two.
Good luck with them
This is the perfect size for me! 👍
great
Thanks so much for sharing. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I appreciate it.
No problem 👍
Built it to my own specs thanks for the guidance!
Your very welcome
First video I've watched on the channel..subscribed n like how simple you made it
Thank you so much Craig. I will use this method. With your clear instructions, I think I can do it. New sub👍
Brilliant thanks Far.
Neat, simple and really affordable. Thank you Craig.
