THE STAGES ARE:
1. The tools you are going to need are: hammer, bolster, pry bar, wrecking bar, crow bar, gloves & safety glasses/goggles.
3. Start by loosening the nails using the bolster and hammer.
4. When the gap between the planks is large enough, use a pry bar to lift the plank off.
5. Ensure you remove all nails from the plank and the newly exposed area of the pallet.
6. Repeat until all the top planks have been removed.
7. Next, remove the centre blocks using the same process.
8. With all the nails removed from your dismantled pallet wood you are ready to start your recycled pallet project.

You are a legend mate. You will keep me busy for the next 4 weekends.
Have fun! We've got plenty of pallet projects on the channel!
This is fine for pallets which use simple nails. Most of the pallets I come across use two to three inch spiral nails which are a whole different ball game!
Same here, I just leave them alone... cut the wood off instead. Though less wood and shorter boards, but the boards can split easily if you try to pull the spiral nails off. Don't have a proper tool to cut the nails.
I use that chisel that he keeps calling a "bolster" and a mini sledge and it cuts through the nails. Then just pop the heads out from the back using an old nail set.
Michael Johnston I've always called it a bolster
Euro pallet are bastards
Same!! Its just as easy to cut the pallets and accept you going to lose a bit of length.
Your videos are very nicely paced, well edited and crystal clear, a helpful series. Well done and many thanks!
That you, were glad they helped you
Glad Avid let you out so you could make this video.
Thanks Craig,
Craig
Thank you please!
Only came across this Video today. Over time I have seen a lot of videos to pull pallet apart and I have had mixed results. Most of the pallets I get have 2 - 4 inch nails with a spiral so I started to use a bolster chisel, bolster hammer ( small sledge ) and pry bars as seen in the video some time ago and had much better results, less splitting, and more wood for projects. Still time consuming but I get pallets for free and with the price of timber here in Australia worth the effort in my situation. Great video Craig thank you
10 out of 10 for a much simpler method than most
Cheers
I love your videos!!..straight and to the point...and you're so handsome when doing them...thank you for all the videos you do..I've learned A LOT by yours alone..thanks again!!
Glad to be able to help Kimberley
Haha, this is what my garden gates get made out of :D
You should see Craig's!
I only ran into your channel today. I watched this video and some of the pallet wood build videos.
The videos are instructive and comprehensible.
The only minus that I can point out is that you do not answer the questions which are in the comments. So 5 stars out of 6.
Thanks for sharing.
I have only just got access on here sorry
Would like to see a small garden bar made from old pallets as I have watched this brilliant film so fingers crossed 😊
Hi Joseph, we have just completed a bar build from pallets that will be out very soon
Watching this video made me so happy
Wow that looked so easy to do. I'm getting myself some pallets for some DIY projects.
Now's a perfect time
Thanks for that great video!
I'm like a newborn in DIY projects and this was very useful ✨
Where have l seen you before? Then l checked out the Internet? 📺!!
But that's incidental, thanks for the video Craig!
GRACIAS POR EL VIDEO ... ME GUSTA ESTA FORMA de desarmar los palets sin maltratarlos ...gracias
I get really long nails in my pallets and really can't loosen them, so I use 2 long bits of strong wood and lever the pallet wood with them, it's very satisfying when you get them off, 5'1 woman here 💪 😂
Same as you I start with a bolster, but then I use a mattock, I can put a block under the blade to get increase the leverage.
Remember to hold the nail into the crow bar just before it comes out as they fling out at quite a pace, straight at your face.
Hye good afternoon sir. I has one pallet in store i watch your this video, and i make it dismantle very clear. Now i am going yo make a shoe rake from them. Thanks for sharing good ideas. Sometimes i am thinking how i am lazy to found you channel in a age of 34, why not befor.
Very straight to the point and helpful. Thank you so much
No problem, glad to help
Thank you so much. Very helpful video
Glad it was helpful!
Most pallets in Oz are put together with nail guns. As a result most nails have glue on them for rigidity. I find it easier to saw through the nails. Less damage to slats.
Sawing through them will leave a ridge if you don't have a wood planer did you have a whole bunch of sanding to do
I love this guy! Awesome work!
Thanks Sarah x
Great tutorial video... I love it..
Glad you like them thank you
I also recently posted my first video on how to do it with some basic tools. Your video was super helpful too!
Nice one!
This is an art attack!
Thanks so much man that was very helpful!!
Glad it helped!
2:44 While taking the large blocks off, rest the edge of the plank against the wall so when hitting it from the side it stays stationary.
Good idea , thanks
Great video
Thanks!
I've seen similar videos where they make/use a simple device for improved reverse hammering of the nails (which are usually longer and grippier than shown here). It's a narrow pipe with a free moving metal piston: Place it over the nail and hammer the piston -- the nail won't bend because it's in the pipe. Probably need a long and short piece of pipe.
Good idea!
Love your videos! Thank you
I use a club hammer to initially loosen the slats.less hazardous and safer thn the hammer.
Thanks for sharing this video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Your very welcome
A pallet Buster is a lot faster no back-breaking bending over
good video thumbs up, a reciprocating saw is the best tool for pallets quicker and easier
nisancashi2241 I guess silverline doesn't make a reciprocating saw or he probably would have used it.
ya buddy
Could you build a trophy 🏆 cabinet for Everton F.C as their old one has rotted due to lack of use!
It's Craig!
Certainly is!
New subscriber!!!🔥🔥🔥
Welcome!!
Another high quality video! Thank you.
This is going to sound a bit odd, but can you tell me the brand and type of those cargo pants?
I'm looking for some higher quality than what i'm finding here, and frankly they look like they hold up well.
3 inch nails in mine, with stupidly strong heads and its put together in such an awkward way, boards on top of each other with blocks in-between :| took apart loads of pallets but at a complete loss with these, easiest way i'm thinking is drilling a core around the screws but don't have any bits like that lol.
Drop your cup of tea and pick up a sawzall mate!
-From your independent American friends!
Cheers
only use the reciprocating saw on the gap between blocks and wood and all the wood can be saved
Can you show us how to make a pallet from old pallet wood we may have lying around?
4x4 UK just put back together the same way one is taken apart
I've tried a lot of different methods shown on You Tube but I haven't found an easy one yet. I've never been able to remove those separating blocks without ruining them or the board.
que facil lo hace ver...a mi se me agrietaron casi todas...usando solo un martillo un pequeno cincel ...
What size/type of bolster did he use?
All the ones I've ever tried to dismantle have three or four inch nails at every junction and wood that easily splinters. If the pallets in your area come apart as easily as this guy's do, you're lucky.
Theres plenty on the market, ours came from Thermal light blocks
That's the hardest way possible!
My pallets have bloody hook nails in them so this doesn’t work, just shatters the wood
Try a bloody sawzall
Try cutting them down before the nails
I bet he loosened all those nails before filming. Just to make it look straight forward and easy.
A £20 lath bar is a far simpler method. Nothing wrong with the way you're doing it but the lath/wrecking bar is pretty damn good.
invest in a floorboard lifter,two pronged,and a crow bar!!!
Are they good to use
Sawsall case closed... your welcome👍
I've recently received two pallets made of mahogany.
Nice! You planning to build anything with them?
OK! Just Watch STREET RUST RON!
I’m sorry, but that’s probably about one of the lamest ways to take pallets apart all that kneeling plus those pallets came apart so easily. those aren’t like any pallets that I’ve ever tried to break down. I do agree with him about taking the nails out as soon as possible but even that sometimes is it practical considering all the bending and the changing up that you have to do while you’re processing the wood I would suggest to invest $40-$60 in one of those pallet busters that you could get online in the long run it’s gonna save you a lot of time which translates into money. Everybody doesn’t have a workshop or can weld or do they have the ability from a carpentry standpoint to put some things together, so just make the investment that’s my humble opinion. And believe me, I am real real cheap.
Great comment couldn’t have said it better I especially like the ending my sentiments exactly
Question, does it work on very old pallets. I have alot ??
It should do! Just be careful when you take them apart!
Hey, come on Graig, @1:44 I think those nails should be longer and ridged so they don't come out so easily,,. Regards Alf
Do this in reverse it works a lot easier
Hi .
there's Spade Chisel bolster work by drill? it's very difficult women use manual hammer
Could you build a boot draw
A boot draw? What's that?
Buy a pallet buster for 29 bucks , no need to get on the floor. Or that air tool that blows the nails right out the other end
bruh my pallets are always awful with 10 inch long nails
What you call a "bolster" in the US we call a masonry chisel. Either way, this is the 1st time I've seen that method used. Would be a lot easier to get a pry bar under the wood. Think that it might make a difference. Time to go to the hardware store!
An hour later I had resorted to firing up the jigsaw and taking it from there 🤦♂️
Be careful
His name starts with Crate? That's cool
His names Craig, he was on the very first series of Big Brother.
thank you
Welcome
In this pallet how to make birds breeding box for Asia series
Stanley fubar the end
I thought there would be a special technique, or machine or something
No its just, knock them off with a hammer and chisel
Yes thats the best way
Guy was on big brother.
He wasn't just in it, he won it!
sawzall works wonders....
Use a recipricating saw
i want to dismantle a europallet, not these toy pallets
Since neither take more than the intelligence of a moron, I think you'll be okay.
Should be named"how to bust your knuckles and learn new curse words. Sawzall..nuff said.
Thats a lot of tools...i just had a hammer lol
Why the hell are you kneeling on the floor when it's much easier to do the job standing up?
Because we are filming it
The trick with pallets?? Stay off your knees, they start to hurt after a couple boards!!
Knee pads
lump hammer fersher....and just wang them nails in harf
Lump hammer. Painful to watch tiny taps on that bolster!
These are baby nails?
pull the nail thru the board, regular or spiral. . you do not have to hammer it first. waste of time.
There are much easier ways
Too much messing around and time wasting. Easier to go to timber merchants and buy the wood you need.
That 16oz hammer wont touch the buggers I get a 4lb lump does the job .
Terrific!
Just came across this video. Seems like too many tools are being used. I guess the new pallet busters did not exist? I have 60 to take apart, so switching tools every slat did not make sense. It is not said, and it is a short video, so not much chance to suggest bulk effort might be effective. Good enough! Thank you!
