When you actually research the treatment of pallets you will find the even the HT treated pallets can also of received a MB treatment. When an inspection of a container is done and there are signs of critters they will treat every thing in the container with the MB treatment this means your HT labeled pallets, the good thing is that the chemical treatment dissipates when exposed to air. MB pallets are no more dangerous than HT pallets. The MB pallets are extremely rare though.You should properly mill all pallet wood to remove the exterior sanding planing ext to remove all the filth that can get onto them while in use. Please do more research than TH-cam.
Difficult seeing the label at the start of the video. Try having some light hitting it. It might have gotten better but thats as far as I could get. Not a complaint. You have valuable information and I’d like to see it.
Ok! Im lucky to be next to a co that disposes of pallets often & i want to use this resource b4 it's gone. After doing a lil 'research' here on yt, i like the way you present the info & your clear experience & familiarity w your projects! I'm excited to try out smthg new! 😁😁😁 Thx for all the great instruction & info you're putting out!
Some pallets get scabbed together sadly. And some get built next to each other in the factory. So there are rare occasions where some parts are both sadly. I have come across those as well. Best to treat those pallets as both cases to be safe is best in my opinion!
The weight is heavier then normal. And it's a lot harder to cut through. Oak on the other hand has a very easy to tell grain pattern where the fibers are very tight together, and a quick Google search will show you how oak looks. But hickory in my opinion is better.
I have actually been finding a lot of hickory in my current pallet stash. Once you start looking and can tell it apart from the oak ones. Then you will find it a lot!
"Transportating" i loved that part. thanks for the video

Liked and subscribed! Do you have a vid on breaking down pallets? I’ve searched, but don’t seem to be able to find one from you. Thanks!
Yes! And thank you for your comment! I made a video called: How to easily disassemble pallets
Great video
"Transportating" - I learned a new word today! Great info though. :)
Thank you for the video! It was very informative.
Whole lot of yapping😂
Very well explained brother
I will recommend a remake with a microphone maybe so the audio is clearer
Thank you for sharing

This cool. Great info. How do you tell whether it's hardwood or softwood?
My pallets have no stamps how do i treat them myself?
Very informative
I have a few pallets that have both labels HT and MB what does it mean?

@DoubleBitsWorkshop Thank you for the info. I was thinking of being safe , that being sorry is a great rule of thumb
Any ideas on telling if a pallet is made of hickory?
