Mark… this might sound a bit dramatic…. But I was really into pallet projects as an idea, tried it, and hated it because of the time it took to disassemble and prep the wood. I wrote it off completely and just concluded I would have to dish out an arm and a leg on lumber to just practice and build any skill. I found your channel over the last few weeks… I’ve bought a pallet buster and used it today for the first time. Im giving it another chance. I feel like the pallet breaker will be a game changer and make it a better experience this time around!! Thanks for your channel and awesome projects! please don’t stop!!
Another top drawer video mate! You're absolutely right too, it's only woodworker types that are snobby about it, the people buying your furniture couldn't give a shiny shite what the material is because it looks awesome and does exactly what it needs to. You're smashing it too mate, absolutely out of the park, I'm absolutely stoked for you!
Loving the vids, giving me dinner great ideas - thanks. Have you thought about doing one out and about finding pallets, choosing the best ones and identifying the types of wood? Thanks again
Hey Bruv, if you buy any paint, get it "tinted" with white as well. All "tintable" paints are sold shy of volume because they are "designed" to be tinted. Just get artic white tint (pro tip) get artic white with 5ml additional black. It will make the white pop just right!
Once again an awesome video with a lot of info, tips and entertainment! But what impress me the most is how a complex (not sure if it is a word:) you are and make all that reference to other TH-camrs and help the community!
Love your videos. I had done some pallet projects, but you incentivized me to go make some more, so I can afford some more tools/machines for my shop. Thanks a lot!! Love the way you give credit to other guys' chanels
In Texas, we have pallets from Pine to Mahogany! And I use them all! The Oak and poplar are my favorites! I use my Harbor Freight planer first then sand them down to make them pretty. Then I used hide glue to keep them together better. Anna White for plans! I love her stuff! But use the handheld metal detector for those hidden nails do not put them in your planer without it!
Great video good to see others putting what is considered waste to good uses. To all you would be pallet hunters if you have a ute or big trailer , a fantastic resource is the wooden pallet/frame that ATV 's get imported in.Here in Australia ,my local motorcycle dealer used to pay to dump them at the tip, i just called in one day when i seen them piled up and asked them what they did with them . They could not give them to me fast enough , took my mobile number and ring me when they have them.These pallet range in size from 2.4 m up to 4m by 2.2 m wide for the biggies made up of 2x4 , 1 1/2 x 2 1/2 , and various smaller sizes.These are Kawasaki and Cam ams brands ( have no idea what the other brands do,i get so many i have never bothered to check elsewhere) , some of the timber in these pallets is beautiful and the best part , they are all kiln dried and heat treated.Thanks Dainer you make some fantastic videos , i have watched most of them.
@@dainermade yep , these are single use only ,custom made to fit the side by sides, the kawasaki ones have 2 x solid 90 by 90s running down the guts ,up to 3.6m long unbelievable they use to go straight to the tip to be turned into wood chips.Great channel one of my favourites
saw these videos while looking for something to do with pallet wood, incredible! I am almost done with all the planning, tomorrow we begin the first project! thank you for the amazing content
i have to agree with the white-washed finish. sold a hall table with that finish and the lady liked it so much she commissioned me to build matching end tables as well.
I've got a similar straightening jig that works great. The handle idea is duh..I typically use the other clamps to help run it through. Will be adding a handle shortly😀
What are your thoughts on using a handheld power planer for squaring and surfacing the boards? It's got to be easier than sanding and much more affordable for most beginners and those who can't afford a bench top planer.
Nice video! I love working with pine, it is available, cheap and easy on your tools... Btw. You should fix the link in description to fixit fingers Channel.
The link for Fixit Finger goes to the Knucklehead channel. I was able to find the channel easy enough through search but you know how the internet can be 😁
Appreciate the video - "Can do" attitude trumps a lot of apparent issues in life huh? Are you ever tempted to keep some of the nicer, darker timber for edge banding purposes and the like? Seems a bit of a waste to throw it in with the riff raff sometimes?
Great content mate, i have been making pallet furniture for about 6 years now but im nowhere good as you. Can i ask what glue do you use? I have tried most PVA glue's from bunnings but after a few years the joints start to open up. 😁
I've discovered your channel through Jesper makes. I've been interested in pallet woodwork for a while (like years) and I can't believe YT didn't recommend such a quality channel before. In Europe, there are far far less non pine pallets than in the southern hemisphere. I am currently using a stock of palletwood that I scavenged over 10 years ago, coming from Indonesian pallets (used to work on building a solar farm, with solar panels coming directly from Indonesia) to build myself a desk. I kind of disagree with you on pine. It is a bit dull, but the blueing of the wood because of mushrooms *can* make it much more interesting, and it would be a shame to hide it. Also there are all kinds of "pine". It can tend to get closer to pink (douglas pine) red, orange, white, with wider or thinner grain. You don't need to paint it, or hide it. However, as you said in several videos, people need to learn to just not pick uninteresting pallets up, unless they plan to use them for hidden parts. There *are* interesting pine pallets out there, you just need to keep the eyes open and be patient. Cheers and keep up the good work!
Palletwood pine in all it's glory! Clean it up, dress it up and just look at all the awesome pieces you have built with it! Takes a space up a few notches! Viewers/subscribers will truly be inspired by your videos.
so if youre moving on from the sander/hand plane combo, which is next best for flattening/squaring, is it the jointer/planer combo or just the table saw? from a value perspective is the table saw the best allrounder?
Would like to see how and what you seal them with .... what type of poly ? Brush ? Roll ? Spray ? Hit us with a "sealing" video !! Love the work mate keep it up
You do realize that if you are selective with finding pallet wood some already have 2x4 inch skids so you don't have to glue other bits together you could use elsewere
Thought I recognised the little straightening jig at the start ;) Thanks for the plug mate. They make for the best profit margin too when the cost is only a little labour :D Also, no pressure if you bugger them up, there are always more :P
Top video again Mark. Using the hand plane for a weebit exercise , does make you feel better within yourself ay😅🤣. During the years of making all that you have made from pallet materials , have you cared about grain direction and if it makes any difference when machining pieces?
Mark, lucky you to have access to pretty and colorful pallets. Here in Germany we just have pine and nothing but pine - in two different colors - dirty/old and new/clean ...
New sub, recently dropped carpentry for wood working(less of a scope, more finer detail work, and can do majority from home instead of site based). Have been popping thru Bunnings on the regular now 😂😂 I take it your only use heat treated pallets and not chep/loscam ones? Have seen a few nice looking chep/loscam pallets but don't wanna step on toes
I've only just found your channel and I'm so glad. I'm a young woodworker so pallet timber is also just about everything I have. Eventually I hope to do the same thing you do as a business for myself. Seems like a dream come true (besides the nails)
I have used tips from you and your great heaps of video on pallet gathering, prepping and projects over the past years. I loved your silicone spatula idea so much I adopted it for my own. Also your table saw squaring jig.
hey, i guess that there is nothing wrong with pine per say its just that from a pallet perspective its usually low grade, so porous, can be filled with resin veins/knotting and aside from pallets it is a softwood so dents easily. Also the natural color can be frowned upon by some woodworkers as if left unstained over time will turn a yellow/orange color which some folks see as a hideous 70s look. Staining can be a challenge due to its resinous nature as it can make the staining blotchy but personally i think pine is great with some great grain patterns and can be worked with once you know the work arounds.
Little tid bit for the peoples. Avoid sanding a surface if you are going to use a bladed edge after. The grit will break off and some of it embeds into the wood. This does make bladed tools blunt much quicker. If it can sand wood it can sand your nice sharp blade.
Hi mark great channel, I’m about to undertake a bar top and like the waterfall edge, What have you found to be the best thickness for the slab glue up, cheers Troy
Thanks for another good video Mark. I actually like the look of pine, is that weird? Wait, don't answer that. Anyway mate, keep up the good work. All the best, Brian.
I’ll never understand the crap that pine gets. It’s wood, it cleans up nice, and if you want some color variation, mix it in with some other woods or slap a little paint or dark finish on it. The hate it gets never made sense to me
Hi mark, Great content, I’ve been binge watching your channel, based on this video I’m assuming that there is zero pine in any of your top slabs? All hardwood?
No I used pine in slabs plenty. It’s more about the colour. I’ll slice the pine down in to very thin strips sometimes to bulk out the slab without taking away from the other nice colours
Back when I was a kid, pallets were made of oak. Occasionally you can still find a few with oak boards, but it's not very common. If I didn't experience it myself, I'd find it hard to believe.
For the most part, the hard wood palettes are all chep (or similar) these days. They tend to come back for them. You do see em' from time to time though.
@@dainermade I've just tripped across your channel. I've been considering making things from palettes for a couple of months now but didn't know how well it would go over here in Aus. Recently I picked up a crane palette made from 3x3 and 4x4 that I had to cut into three so it would fit on me hilux. Think it's time I turned them into some benches and get started. Thanks for confirming for me that it's worth a crack!
Oh no! Another "Pallart" video! you are the gateway drug. Next Uncle Knacker and his awesome videos! Bad news! This week I got FOUR pallets home to smash for both firewood and slats, instead of last week's three. The grocer lady is practically shoving them on me! The entire pallet thing is growing on me and I see many possibilities now! So I have lots of pallets; free solar energy as I panicked about power cuts last autumn; a recycling centre which often has electric scrap - I have an electric planer from there. Your videos are gold for those of us too old to get proper jobs and want to work when the weather is too bad to cut lawns!
Bit pissed off seeing a lot of your videos not going into much detail for somebody who's never worked with wood. I thought you videos were to help newbies not somebody with 40 years of experience working with wood and tools
What do Italian chickens wear to bed?? Parma-jamas! Another great vid! Pine is the only wood you can buy here outside of a specialty shop, so I kind of think of it as the benchmark for decent wood. Plus don’t heavy goods ship on hardwood no matter where you live? I’m a bit puzzled both by the pine hate and the supposed absence of more interesting wood in pallets. Thanks for the info & entertainment!
Love your content. Here in Florida. Been pallet hunting for about a year now. I have. Never. Seen pallets with slats that thick. Best I get are slats half or 1/3 as thick. Guess that just means I need more glue....heh.
Great video. Totally agree with the pine pallets. Awesome stuff. I will say though there is nothing worse than a pine pallet which is full of that sappy crapy that will gum up your blades etc.
Yes! I grabbed a couple of pallets a while ago that when I went to clean them up, were absolutely FULL of that crap. A lot of those boards went into the fire pit. It melted and bubbled up like a champ in the fire! Burnt with a nasty black smoke though...
It's in the pallets, but here in the bay area i can never find the cheap 5/8 x 5 1/2 x 6ft pine pickets. These damn home builders literally buy them all. And nobody wants to buy homes at their prices right now anyway. Whats the point
I LOVE your positive spirit in these newest videoes, great improvement over your first videoes a couple years old. Keep up the positive spirit, keep making happy videoes, having great diy content like this.
Great video, looking forward to the next one. FYI- I think you e added the wrong link for James. I'm looking to make some jigs so thanks for recommending it.
Thanks for showing your dust extraction in the background I was the same at timbecon also that let fence jig. I’m collecting as many tips and ideas as possible to build up the courage to make my first table. Your best tips are showing how to make them join. Again really appreciate your fantastic videos
Mate, you are great! Know that! Thanks for your honest share. And you are right, lots of people look for these items nowadays, because they indeed look really cool 🤙🏻
Hey Mark! Love your videos. I finally got the pallet puller and denailer so loads of boards is in bound. Was wondering if you could show how you store all your boards? Thanks keep it up mate.

Do you ever get any problems with bug or insects in the wood? Also what about warping after the wood starts drying out?

so if youre moving on from the sander/hand plane combo, which is next best for flattening/squaring, is it the jointer/planer combo or just the table saw? from a value perspective is the table saw the best allrounder?
For gluing up, can liquid nail's be used or is that a bad idea?
