Building A Dining Table From Pallet Wood! + Aromatic Cedar Base And Spalted Legs!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 ก.ย. 2024
- In this video I build a dining table out of strips of reclaimed pallet wood. "butcher block" style is not quite accurate as this is more of a "bowling alley" style orientation of the wood pieces. The base/skirt is made from a piece of aromatic cedar a neighbor gifted to me from a local sawmill. The legs are made from a selection of spalted pallet stringers that never actually ended up being used for pallets.

Dude. Nice job. Good to see normal everyday people doing great work. Then you brought it home to your lady. Smart guy.
It's like watching an old friend build something using gifts from his beloved grandpa, in a barn behind his mom's house.
This was perfect as a vanity desk for me. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxMAlHv7-BBWMrPRm5-uEoD6rtdT7SG2Qr Especially the glossy finish. Easy to cleanI was looking for something that wasn't the traditional white and with more of a modern feel. This fit the bill beautifully. I put it together with no problems, by myself in under an hour.Make sure you double check where you place the drawer tracks before screwing down. I had one track that needed to be aligned with different holes than the rest.
Beautiful work
Hey, I saw this tip the other day about the stuff you use to clean the sanding belts. It's kinda expensive to buy that block, but did you know it's the same stuff used for shoe soles? The salvation army and goodwill sell shoes and you can find the ones with that same material and buy for only a $1 or $2 a pair. Remove the uppers and use the soles to clean the sanding belts for cheap! Good tip! 👍🏻🇺🇸
I do the same thing with shoes works like a charm
Wow, top tip! Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
I think that it would help you if you put that assembly board on the other side of your workbench. Then all you would have to do is turn around to use the miter saw instead of walking all the way around like you are doing to trim the ends. Great video and build by the way looks great.
I appreciate the comment and tip david! Its a great idea honestly, ive actually moved into a new shop well after this video, ive just been in a slump with uploads, i have about 9 i have to edit and upload but the mountain just seems too steep at the moment, Ive got new content coming soon though! Please stick around and check it out!
Mmm! I really enjoy the way you explain and the effort you are putting in to use your camera to really show how you mean. It’s like being with you in your wood shop showing me how to go about. I live unfortunately in Sweden, so that might be just a little bit of a too big leap. But if I was in the neighbourhood, I would bring us a couple of cold ones. Keep it up, man. You are doing great!👍🏻
It's a pleasure to watch your work. It's good that you work with secondary wood! Soulful and pleasant video!
I can't believe I watched the whole thing, 46 Minutes, well worth the watch. I've been looking for something like this.
I just ordered the parts for a flattening sled, and this project is what my little shop needs.
Who knows, maybe I'll be able to make a few $$.
I have most all the tools now, with the exception of CLAMP'S on can never have enough CLAMP'S...
Did I mention CLAMP'S LOL!
Thanks for the time it took to make this video.
Just beautiful. You are definitely a craftsman with fine detail to make a table look this good from pallet cuts. Much applause.
Better than any store bought table. Fantastic! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
So the reason for using 'good' wood is mainly to save time. But then we lose all the character of these individualistic pieces!
The amount of work you put into that table definitely paid off in beauty. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing job! It's the end result that makes it so worthwhile.
Table looks sick. I dig the music too. I thought it was Boards of Canada until I looked in the description.
Thanks for the kind words! Im a huge Boards Of Canada fan as well! I would love to have tracked a video to that!
I like the way that you wiped that board off with your hand. In slow motion. Excellent. Informative video. I think i will try to build a table. Wish me luck
Really awesome !! The finished result looks out of this world
Excellent. Simply awesome.
Exactly what I was looking for, Thanks
It`s beautiful, I don`t have any luck with the minwax, mine feels smooth and flat, but when you get close up there are millions of tiny micro bubbles. The last top I made for a steel base table, I did one pour of epoxy and let it flow out, torched it and loved the results, boy is the epoxy expensive, love your work.
That is just the bees knees T!!! Awesome work. Thanks so much for the great video and narration too!
Can't wait to see the finished product.
Hope you enjoyed the video Karisa! Thanks for watching!
I like your videos and you talking actually helped. Love your work.
Thanks for watching Justin! I appreciate the kind words!
Don't screw down the table top like that. You can maybe do it in the length direction and get away with it, but in the width, it will prevent the wood from being able to expand and contract with the seasons, as it is going to do anyway, and it will split. You need some kind of slot or swivel where the screw can slide a little in the width, while still holding the top down. There are a number of hardware pieces available specifically for this job, or you could rig up something yourself. Check out old tables. The ones that don't do this are either made of plywood or particle board, or they have cracks in them. Don't let your projects self destruct.
I am not so afraid of that. Wood expands sideways. He basically created a slab of vertical plywood.
@@tjerkheringa937 No, he didn't. Plywood grain alternates direction with each layer. This runs all the same direction. Expansion is not the problem. Contraction is. If you look at better quality furniture, you will see various solutions to the problem of wood movement, while still holding something like a table top securely on the base. I can pretty much guarantee you that in a few short years this top will have cracks in it. This is a good example of how not to do it. But experience is the best teacher.
Im amazed how much effort you put into your projects.
Brilliant work as usual. I feel like there was a little more step-by-step commentary to this one, which was nice!
Perfect work
Looks great
Thank you David!
Amazing job congratulations
Thank you Ozil!
Beautiful job, love constructive work , very rewarding.
The table is beautiful
I love how you explain things especially the biscuit joiner, i don’t have one and I know it’s not rocket science but it’s nice to hear an explanation
Table looks super cool too. Sub from me👍🏻
Deano from Biloxi, MS USA by way of Napa, CA USA. Thanks a bunch for the tutorial. I learned quite a bit, like, how the biscuit cutter and the whole entire process works. Pretty kewl, dude!! You got another subscriber and I look forward to going through your videos.
The table is beautiful!!
Ainda bem q tem pessoas com dom, pra nos engrandecer com suas obras de arte, parabéns.
Beautiful.
สวยงาม เรียบหรูครับ
Just cool. Love to know that cost that gal. The labor, OH my.
I have a pile of pallet wood in my drying shed. Not sure what I'm going to make. I also believe I'm gonna cut up some of my scrap pile to add to the whatever I'm gonna make. It's getting way to big. Awesome
I always enjoy seeing trash turned into a treasure, hard on the tools but worth it
I like!!!
Thanks Verano!
Very nice
muy buen trabajo, felicitaciones
I never seen someone make so much more work for themselves then what needed to be done.
You can thin the wood filler down for smaller holes and it will apply easier.
Cool...👍👍
Thanks for the video, it was useful to watch. Personally though,i thought some sections were too repetitive. Watching wood being put through the planner or belt sander gets boring real quickly.
Saw dust? You mean man glitter! 👍🏻🇺🇸🤣😂🤣
Man the finished product looks so good! Can't wait to get my hands on one of these tables, are you currently taking commissions?
Just make one! It will be fun😂
Cool
Thanks david!
Great work but the head mounted camera when filling in the gaps was making me nauseous
If someone were to put weight one of the edges, think the glue seam would break?
It's a really nice top but slacked on the legs tick the easy way
Unbelievable 😂😂How can one brain be so mixed up...
What are the advantages or disadvantages of using the brad nails between each board? I really enjoy your work.
The main reason i use the brads is to help hold everything. It would be incredibly hard to keep everything from sliding all over if you were to try to glue this without using brads. That being said, if you were to use straight unsegmented layers, using just glue wood be fine. Thanks for watching rob!!
Great job!! How thick is your slats?
beautiful! Love those strips! What is that long clamping guide rail you've got for the circular saw there? Would like to get my hands on on one of those!
Nice table and the legs are gorgeous! Can you explain me the purpose of that 'stopblock' when you trimmed the strips?
Thank you for the kind words! The stopblock acts to align the strip for minimal waste, and allows me to setup and cut many at a time in quick order. The reason I'm trimming in the first place is to reduce the gap that happens when i butt the edges together during the assembly.
Hello, great video. Are the brad nails necessary?
Really nice and helpful to watch. Do you happen to be using the sander instead of a plainer because of the metal bits in the pallet wood?
They always go in the planer first! Its a risk i have to take,. i generally run each board across my metal detector to make sure there is nothing left behind, and then do a visual inspection along with sanding to make sure there aren't any stones or dirt left on the wood. And then just gotta make sure to keep the brads low enough in the board, and hope they dont wander upward. I have definitely nicked a few blades over the years. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@treecycled ok..t for taking the time to reply here too. Very welcome sir!
Do you have to put conscious thought to where you shoot the brads to avoid hitting them with a blade later?
How many types of wood did you use?? Thank you and congratulations beautiful work.
Is that all hard wood or is there some pine mixed in there? Looks good!
So am I understanding correctly, you alternate 1/4" & 1/2" slats? 👍🏻🇺🇸
Does anyone know how he manages to use Brad nails n then run through table saw, and use biscuit joiner. Is it a case of getting blade for saw that's multi material, n biscuit joiner goes through them OK. Ty all
Creepy music.....beautiful table!
Where did you get the rolling cart for the wood?
can you tell me what nailer you use in this video. what gauge nails
Do you think there will be any problem with wood expansion over time? Very nice work, enjoyed watching.
I've been making these for about 6 years now, in some fashion or another, and from my experience i haven't had any complaints yet! Not to say something might come in the future though. Thanks for watching!
My guess would be that due to it being recycled pallet wood, most of the extreme expansion over time has happened to it already. Add to that there's so much glue and the final coats of poly on everything I'd think it should be good!
Beautiful. So I too can make a beautiful table using nothing more than recycled pallet wood and....what? $50,000 worth of machinery? Nice!
Great job! How many hours did you have in this project?
The hours always add up a lot more when you are recording, but juggling this with other projects i had 30-40 hours involved in it. Thanks for watching casper!
What was the final finish you used?
nice product. but the hardest part to all of this is getting all that expensive machinery under a single roof.
With time and materials this table may have to sell for 10 grand to make a profit.
Your videos have been a huge inspiration for me but after building a similar tabletop and coming back and rewatching this video since gaining that experience.. I can't help but feel like you made it so much more work than it had to be? For example.. what was the thought process behind the first initial dry fit (about 2:40) just to grab the specific amount of pieces of wood that was needed? I understand you had to make the end square but why not just square ALL the pieces, since you've prepared them all for this regardless of if its this project or the next? Or to really save yourself more effort, when you are breaking down the pallets and shortening each piece - just cut them square the first time.
I mean absolutely NO offense by any of this, but it all just feels like a colossal waste of time? You have the pieces ripped down to size already when the video starts.. if they were all square then you could do a quick dry fit, and as you go you would cut the pieces on the ends to fit the 36" length. Then you can just glue it from there. No need to take them apart like at 9:32. This way would also save you from doing two additional dry fits.
Im a work in progress for sure! But i needed to lay everything out at first to make sure first that i had enough wood to work with on that specific project. I definitely could have just squared them there as i went in that situation. My process is being refined every time, and I'm a bit scatter brained for sure in that instance. But i absolutely have to take them apart layer by layer before glue up, because i needed to both glue and brad nail them, in a quick enough amount of time that the glue doesn't begin to fully set before i clamp them. Clamping is an important step because I'm not relying on the brads for the clamping pressure, they are more so there to stop everything from sliding around during the glue up. Without brads it would be nearly impossible to get everything perfect. And during that process if I'm also trimming pieces to length it adds a lot of time that the glue wood have to dry. I hope that makes sense,.. This table was from a few years ago though, and my process is much more refined now, i have table jigs setup and most if not all of the piece refinement is done before glue up. Still trying to figure out how to get away from brad nailing though, I have a bunch of videos coming out soon showing off my process evolving. Thanks for the comment and the questions! So happy to have inspired and i hope you stick around for future videos! There are a lot coming!
Also shoot me a message on FB or IG, i would love to see your table!
16:39 thats what she said
How much would you charge if i order a table like that from you?
Shoot me a message on Facebook. facebook.com/TreeCycled.Works
Or if that doesn't workout click the about tab on my channel to find my email address and shoot me a quick email!
How much does a table like that sell for?
Also curious
Me too with 30-40 of work into it plus electric and other materials.
Никогда не выбрасывай стружки, пока не посмотришь это видео!
put the damn camera on a stand,,, your giving me motion sickness
bla bla bla bla bla...... 😡😡
@@dropndeal you are talking so much; i thought you are preparing a space craft 😂🤣🤓
You take too long. Its overkill. And you did not need to clamp them after nailing.
