Who knew something that could be free could be such a hassle! Thank you so much for the information on those hidden little wires and nails.
WOW!! Didn't know about those stamps, and that's some very good and very important information. THANKS FOR POSTING THAT!!
Great job explaining in detail all of the little things that could go wrong if you don't take the time to dismantle the pallet properly. Thanks for the tips.
Lots of little gems in there. I did not know about the wires in the nail holes, also I was worried about nasty wood treatments but you cleared that one up for me. Great stuff. Thanks a lot!
yes, those were a couple gems of info.
Excellent info. I didn't think about the the leftovers from airgun nails. A few drill bits are way cheaper than a planer blade for sure. I am fortunate that there is at least one company nearby that routinely disposes of their pallets to the public. I'll be using these tips in the near future.
Lots of useful information for those just getting into working with pallets. I love that your cats want to be with and that you love them back. Thank you.
I've watched a few pallet videos, but never heard your free tips. Thanks so much. And loved the cats!
Lol thanks Dan. Take care buddy!
Your tips are time, and money saving. I was scared about ruining a planer blade, I am glad I double checked all the boards! Thankyou!
Hi CJ, I'm glad it was helpful! Take care!
Been using this wood saving method for 40 years. I Lund it way faster if the slat board are only wanted. Just get a skill saw and cut both ends off 2” and the center board is saved and you don’t waste splitting the nail ends . Btw that was wise to mention possible chemicals in wood. The ends can be used to heat the shop.
The cats did a really good job of supervising the entire project. Time for a reward of cheesy biscuits I think. Just found your channel and my cats like it so I've subscribed.
Lol thank you! My cats are a pretty big deal on my channel...they run the show.
😂 the "another one" segment of this had me laughing so hard. Great info, I have learned all these lessons a while ago as pallet wood is my main source of wood for projects but this is totally worth watching as a reminder as well.
Excellent video with lots of valuable information! I'm new to the "reclaimed pallet wood scene" and had no idea about the leftover wires from pneumatic nails or the stamp abbreviations.
Great and easy techniques, these helped loads when we had 40 pallets to break down for our first video :) Thanks!
Cool cats. But you should probably get one of those air powered nail pushers. Seriously it really speeds up the process. Plus it leaves cleaner wood.
Great video, with tons of great tips and advice! Thanks so much for making this! Great job!
Thanks RealUnitedStates!
Thanks so much for explaining the finer points of salvaging pallets, especially safe tool use and how to build up inventory without wasting too much time before you have a project. You've convince me to drill out the nail holes before I ruin a blade. Probably saved me a few bucks!
I'm digging this intro music, very relaxing
Nice video! Started off a little monotone but glad I watched the whole thing. You drilling the holes in FF finding wires was hilarious. Thanks for the tips.
1 thank you for al the great tips. I am new to working with any woods and started a allotment and want to build raised beds and a pretty composting station and a toolbox from reclaimed pallets. And this helped out so much. It might be a pain to drill everything but it's better then ruining your tools. And waste money them I could have just bought the wood.
And 2 your amazingly sweet with your cats.
Kind regards rose
+rose's new begining Rose, thank you for the kind comment. Those sound like some great projects you have planned! Make sure you use heat treated pallets as the MB kind could leech the chemicals to your plants and compost. I hope your projects turn out great, and I'm glad I was able to help a little. Thank you for watching and for the kind comment, take care Rose!
Thank you! It’s super important these steps!
pine pallet = firewood. thanks for your tips.... really like the one using drill bit to get out those wires!
hammer and punch?
I did not know know about those small wires on the nails!! Your video is so helpful. Thank you for posting this.
Thank you for so many useful tips. I always wondered how to tell which pallets were chemically treated. Brilliant warning about the wires imbedded in the nail holes. It was enjoyable watching you. Cheers !
I want a shop like that!! You're a funny guy. Thanks for the free tips!
Excellent video and voice instructions , ( hate videos that use any methods beside voice instruction and complete demonstrations ). Very useful , even for amateurs. Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!---------------Ernest E. Johnson
Just bumped into your channel. Got the roof done and they were throwing away the pallets and I said why not, lumber is crazy high right now. Ready to jump into a project and look for ideas and never thought about how to actually break down the pallet to work with it correctly. Thanks for the free tips, they work.
GREAT ADVICE 😆 Thanks a bunch
Great ideas! Thank you so much 👌😁👍
Hey thanks for the tip about the chemical treatment. I've watched a good amount of pallet projects and never has anyone mentioned a chemical within the wood
+Timothy Volkers Thanks Timothy, I'm glad I was able to help! Thank you for watching, have fun building! Take Care!
OH MY GOSH, SOOO MANY USEFUL TIPS, WAY TOO MANY TO ENUMERATE!!! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!
This is great! Thank-you for sharing😊
I love the carpeted floor!! I've found that if the pallets get rained on the nails tend to pull a little better. I have the same pallet buster and can usually knock down a pallet in about 5min. Save those nails too, they can come in handy on some pallet wood projects. The drilling out the holes is a great tip..... my planer wishes I thought to do that before I nicked a blade.
Thank You ! Ive been going crazy having trouble w/wood after i pulled all the nails out so carefully,i never even thought that it might be the nailstrip connecting wires.
Hi Rayyvyn, I'm glad you found it helpful! Take care, and happy woodworking!
Any man who loves cat's is OK in my book!! Love your little assistants.
This has a ton of good tips. Thank you so much!
I just spent this summer putting up a loafing shed with pallets for the walls. All going well we're going to put cob on it a la Miguel Cobalot's palletable cobins. After working with the pallets, I've been thinking of other projects (shelving) to use with pallet wood, so all your advice was really helpful!
Excellent advise. Thank you.
Thanks for the HT information! Great content
Very helpful video, thank for all free tips you added
Thank you. Did not know about the stamping. Also great info on the nail n barb removal.
Awesome channel! Very informative. You're sharing all your experience so we can save time, tools and stay safe! Thanks for letting the kittehs 🐈🐈 get screen time!
Glad this video popped up! Like many, Im getting more into wood projects and going to be on the smaller side so I thought pallet wood would be perfect seeings how a friend has literally hundreds of pallets I can take whenever (most if not all are pine) but had no idea about the overseas stamps and the wire holding the nails. I already grabbed about 10 so we'll see how long this process takes and see if it's even worth doing. I know this video is 7 years old but a 1x3 or 1x4 x 8 is around 6-8 bucks.
100 % AWESOME VIDEO . Thanks for making .
Good information. Love your cats 🐈
+classic287 Thanks, Classic. They help out on all my project! Glad you found the information helpful. Take care!
Great info!!! Really useful advice. Thank you very much for sharing yuoir experience!
I love your shop "helpers" :)
+Cris K Thanks Cris, they help out on most every project...very curious critters. Thanks for watching! Take Care!
WHATS THEIR NAMES
Gotta say 0:29 seconds in and I already appreciate the furry ones
wow , great information , thanks
Thanks for life saving advice
+Mariusz Szot You're welcome, Mariusz. Thank you for watching. Take Care.
The Lone Woodman, not so alone with his two cats to su-purr-vise his work ;)
WOW - WAYYYY useful! Thanks & subbed!
+Jim at MidOhio Thanks Jim! Glad to hear that! We've got lots of great adventures coming this year!
Great tips! Thanks
Thank you very much for your help .
Love that pry bar deal you’re using.
A lot of pallets are made with green wood which sometimes warps and splits.
Allow PLENTY of drying time for nicer projects made of pallet wood.
Great tips. Thank you. Subbed and liked.
Wow...I've been EDUCATED!!!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks for the tips. Loved the voice effects...another one LOL
+Michael Archa Hi Michael, glad you found it useful. Let us know how your project turns out! Thanks, take care!
I hammered nails out for years; until I discovered a pneumatic tool specifically made for the job. It fits over the nail snugly, and with a squeeze of the trigger, it blows the nail out. It saves hours of hammering and prying.
Great tips. Also, entertaining!
Drill the holes to find the small pieces of metal - GREAT TIP. I was going to start using the reclaimed pallet wood and then I saw this. I'll have to drill those holes now! THANK YOU.
Chris S. Why are there little wires? I didnt get that? Have you found any when you removed nails, have you drilled yet?
@@longhairmullet Most likely from the cheap nails used. I had to order a metal detector and had to wait for shipping. I literally just git it in the mail a couple days ago (Virus shipping I guess). I plan on doing the drilling and metal detecting this weekend.
Thanks for the help!!
Great info, very useful. Just subscribed!
lol...your cats are great! They love you!
Thanks! They're good helpers in the shop!
+bobbyt9999 he sure doesn't mind getting dirty! Take care Bobby!
Your cats are sooo cute! They are a bubble gums 🤣🤣🤣
Congratulations, you have a nice work shop, very organized and clean!
Best regards!

Great info!!
Great video! I believe in saving wood any way we can!
Really great video with very useful info! But your cat buddies are the real reason I'm subscribing lol Awesome!
Great tip about the label on the stringers. HT vs MB.
Nice video! Thanks to share. I'm found interesting your tool to disassemble. Did you design that or bought? If designed, could share it closely?
Such a good video. I learned a lot I did not know. Like the wire left behind from the nail gun used to assemble pallets. Thank you for that info, as I am getting ready to plane a lot of pallet wood for flooring and these wires would have ruined my blade and surprise me completly. Thank you again.
great video mate!
Thank you Gregorio!
That's a lot of work thanks for the video I didn't know all that I use a lot of pallets and make furniture and things
Great tips - thank you.
btw - Nice gloves...
When he said, nother one, I felt that!
Love the cats!
Just a quick comment..you nailed this video. And that's a free one!
A good pallet air nail remover is the Air Locker ap700.
Well, Thank you for the heads up on the dangers of pallets I didn't know! I guess now I have to just let all my old pallets set there do nothing with them because now there all brown and old probably can't see any kind of a stamp!
Haha! Love the kitties!
I watched your video on the Vestil pallet buster. I am get one, Thank you!
Great! It's a great tool!
Interesting to hear (not only from you) that in the US you have oak and other hard wood pallets. Here in Europe, all what I've seen is pine (even sometimes the small blocks which hold the
planks together I've seen being made of particle board or other inferior material. Pine is OK with me but for sure hard wood is better.
Hans de Groot From an article in Fine Woodworking magazine from decades ago,the big distilleries like Jack Daniels would purchase railway cars of the best white oak available. Despite paying a premium,their reject rate was high,30% plus. So there were several pallet manufacturers nearby to where the white oak barrels were made. Makes perfect sense when you think about it. Probably the same today,even though plastic pallets are now in regular use. Always used to wonder why they were so heavy with such good wood till I read that. Chemical contamination from use always a concern to me though. Still,if you are comfortable with finding a way to reuse really good wood,then why not ? Cheers.
Hi Hans, here in Eastern Canada the pallets available vary widely. I do not know if any of you out there have looked at these businesses ...But one thing i have noticed is at a couple of machine shops and heavy equipment repair shops, they get specialty pallets, built to transport large components. Often made of hardwood, like maple, birch & oak . I just picked up 7 at 2 different locations in the Burnside Industrial park. Business in this large industrial park , often have "Free" designated area where pallets are put , so people can recycle the wood. 2 of these were over 7 ft long ,1 had 2 4x4 inch birch or maple beams . they are in excellent condition. the other was 2x4's and all were 3 inch x 4ft hardwood boards.
kathleen copps that's such a great find! I just hit the jack pot with a local carpet and tile store. They have three big stacks of pallets inside their warehouse and said I could help myself! I took what I could fit in my trunk and they invited me to go back for more anytime.
Have you seen any videos that in TH-cam that could help me identify the different species of wood I could be looking at? Oak is pretty easy for me to spot but most of the lighter colored woods all look the same to me...

Looks like a great tool. For me after taking apart many many pallets, the best tool was my reciprocating saw with at least a 9in blade that cuts embedded nails. With that I can take apart a pallet in just a few minutes. Blade eats through the nails no problem. Just get the blade on the back of the board. Before that no matter how I pried or what crowbar I used, I always ending splitting or cracking some boards, just like what can happen with the tool in this video. Often ring shank or spiral nails are used on pallets (they want them to stay together), so they can be tough to get out. Only took me like 60 pallets to figure it out. Plus if you are doing a rustic look, leaving the old nail heads makes a nice touch.
awesome sauce by not getting any wood with [mb] stamped on it so we all dont get cancer from our wood.i didnt know that information behind the stamped letters on wood but i will pass it on to others now that i know.so thanks for the warning.you where plenty helpful.awesome sauce 2 thumbs up.
Thank you for those tips. I’m looking at starting a pellet recycling business hobby thingy, sort of! BTW, those drill bits you use to drill the nail holes out, are they magnetic? Or do the metal nail tabs just stick to the normal bits?
Hi, as a novice I struggle with identifying wood type. Could you do a video on identifying the wood you recover from the pallets?
Thanks for the tips. Kansas
very helpful lesson, great tips!
im doing the same thing now!
Kind sir I thank you. Only figured the bit about not cutting the edges of to prevent the plane gouging recently. But never thought of the silly thing of drilling out the holes. Had to replace blades on a thickness plane already and not only costly but takes time. Detector does not always find them as they are brass so time spent on inspection. Great tip thanks from Andy in South Africa
Hi discoteq, I'm glad you found it helpful! ...and hello to South Africa!
i break up pallets for projects etc, and would just like to say if you havent got one of those bars he is using to remove the slats. A good way of removing them is to find the easiest slat to pull or wedge off, then use that first slat to lever off all the others, it works really well
Hey...great vid...very useful info...there are two other stamps I've encountered: kd (kiln dried)...spf(spruce pine,fir)...thx for the vid...gotta get one of those pallet "crowbars"
Nice job ! Where did you get the blue handled board puller. That seemed to work great
do you find yourself often using the entire length of board? It almost seems a better idea to just cut off the ends, and just use the wood for smaller projects? Seems like its a 50/50 if you are going to get a full length piece of usable wood out of it.
You have beautiful cats and you are very lucky buddy!!!.. I'm a subscriber now and Nice video.
+Rophoenix Thanks Rophoenix, they help out with all my projects! Thank you for watching and welcome to the club!
I'll tell you where you can get pallets. For me here in slc, it's newspaper agency Corp, but, floor and decor gives them out usually on Thursdays and Saturdays here, and there are 3 stores, and they all do it on those days.
I don't even bother with the ends, jut cut off about 2" on each end and it does away with those nails. I have a Zircon metal detector which has saved many of my planing knives... the most valuable tool when working with pallets.
I like pine pallets for sacrificial wood. E.g making little Jigs, or wedges or pad pieces, clamp pads etc. Essentially use your good wood for finished products but pine pallet wood for scrap workshop stuff.
very helpful thsnkyou
Just a beginner, bought the pallet buster works great after I get past the 1st board-end board what am I doing wrong?
I recommend, in the planks(not stringers) pulling nail through the direction they where nailed in. Use a big pincers.
Good video. Thanks for sharing. new sub.
+Rusty Nail Thanks Rusty!
I see another use for pallets motorcycle crates I bet there big enough to make shipping crates for them
I liked for your concern of safety!
Great tips.. Thx! Btw, kitty legs aren't handles, you can seriously injure them. Cute kitty!
