    Our nursery handy man built us a lovely mud kitchen from pattets I found. Got that idea to build from you saving money, great video .

    You just made the most Luxurious Cat Toilet I've ever seen...at the beginning you were including a Lid and you changed your mind...2 Lids would have equally sufficed and done the same Job at 1/2 the weight...great idea and a Job I'll do...but with a Lid...7 out of 10...could easily have been a 10 ...

    I was concerned about the idea of having a sandbox in the yard after the kids outgrow it. But your suggestion of turning into a garden is absolutely smashing! Great tip knackers!!

      Thanks Tyler. Yeah the vege patch idea is going to be good. Cheers mate

    Brilliant! I really like the recycling of pallet wood and eventual up-cycling to a garden bed.

    I found your channel from looking up "how to repair a hole in drywall" since I'm fixing up my back house and needed a little instruction because my last tenants drove a hole in the wall from a door handle.. I've watched a lot of your other videos.. Proper craftsmanship !! I subbed you mate !! Make sure you're not around when the kids drag their nails across the blackboard !! OUCH !! Your cup of tea = my can of beer..Cheers from Los Angeles !!

    Bloody awesome and something like that should be protected,
    Seeing as you have a floor and children don't actually touch the ground ,can I suggest a sprinkle of Termidor in the ground to keep the white-ants at bay as white-ants favourite food is pine pallets.
    Well done Shane

    • @diyforknuckleheads
      @diyforknuckleheads  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks mate.Good idea regarding the Termidor .Luckily termites are not that common here. Cheers.

      About that hat!!
      Stevie's hat was a workmans hard hat adorned with 2 alarm clocks (Paris and New York!!) some, 2 retractable circular shaving mirrors, some curtain tie back tassels and several other things I can't remember.
      I've met Stevie 4 times now, and lucky enough to own a piece of his artwork. Never a dull moment with Stevie!!

    Hi knackers great job. Are the long sides made from a bigger pallet or are you joining two together?

    • @diyforknuckleheads
      @diyforknuckleheads  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Steve!....from memory l think l used a longer pallet. If you can't lay your hands on a longer pallet just join two shorter lengths together....make sure you stagger the joins 👍 Have a good one mate and thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺

  • @priteshshah21

  • @TommyMcMusic
    @TommyMcMusic 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hello mate, im about to do some decking using pallets as my base, not
    going high just one pallet high off the ground then screwing the decking
    to the pallets.The pallets will be sat on flags which are on top of
    leveled, flattened soil which I have covered with landscaping fabric,
    prior to this i removed the grass, rotavated the whole area, the rake
    and rolled it. The idea being that the flags will keep the pallets just
    above the ground so most of the rain water can drain away through the
    fabric into the earth.So i have a question, did you treat the wood that
    is touching the ground? The reason I ask is because the last thing I
    want is the base of my deck to be rotting from beneath haha!

    • @diyforknuckleheads
      @diyforknuckleheads  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      G'day Tommy. Any part of the pallet that touches the ground will rot.....especially the pine pallets. In fact any timber that comes in contact with the ground will rot. It all depends on how long you want the deck to last. Good luck. Cheers mate

    • @TommyMcMusic
      @TommyMcMusic 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for your response mate, i ended up painting the bottoms of the pallets (that which will come into contact with the paving slabs which keep the pallets above the soil) aswell as the support blocks with a front door paint, weatherproof stuff, nice and hardwearing so should hopefully get a little longer out of it with that, someone also suggested bitumen but I had already completed the painting at that point, maybe something i will do later on should the pallets ever need changing, im expecting the pallets to go before the decking planks do

    I always enjoy your videos. Keep them coming. One question: the nail gun you use, can you give a make and model I would like to find one similar if possible in the states.

    • @diyforknuckleheads
      @diyforknuckleheads  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      G'day Glockman. The gun is a Paslode 16 Gauge Bradder which l've had for about 6 years now. It's been a pretty good gun. If you do get one, make sure you keep up all the recommended services. As soon as the gun gets a bit dirty inside, it will start to play up. Hope that helps and thanks for the comment. Cheers mate.
