    I've used 3x Euro pallets for this couch which are 1200x800mm in size.
    You will need some timber adhesive, a couple of nail plates, and some screws to complete this project.
    Thanks very much to my regular subscribers, and welcome to any new viewers. Stay tuned for more Mikey2hands videos coming out soon.

    2yrs later. Im a HUGE FAN, having just discovered this (during a You Tube Rabbit Hole event.) HOWEVER!!! This is the FIRST video ive watched in the D.I.Y "Instructional Videos" that, is actually "D.I.Y!" and not "Buy, to DIY!" The fact u hand sawed, and hammered, etc....When MOST, use a big selection of expensive power tools.!!
    YOU are my new DIY GUY! (I cant over state how much i love what you have done. (However, im night shift, and i have to go to sleep, so i must end my praise here.)
    Thankyou.

    This was the project I had been looking for. I'm using it for a patio sofa, so rather than castors, I have put some old sofa legs on it, and I sliced up the wood from an old pine wardrobe I had in the garage, and clad the edges. I used some exterior grey paint that was left over from my shed and painted it over. I was very pleased with the result. Thank you very much for the inspiration to make this

    This is important! When purchasing pallets for your DIY sofa, make sure the pallets are HEAT TREATED and not CHEMICALLY TREATED. You don't want pallets in your home that are chemically treated with Methyl Bromide, at least I wouldn't. You can differentiate the two by the markings: HT = Heat treated / MB = Methyl Bromide treated.

    • @Mikey2hands
      @Mikey2hands  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Yes good point Prunk. That’s why I only use Euro pallets for my projects.
      Since 01/01/2010, all newly produced EPAL Euro pallets are heat treated in accordance with ISPM 15.
      EPAL Euro pallets treated according to ISPM 15 can be recognised by the branded markings on both central blocks on the long sides.
      It is prohibited to treat EPAL Euro pallets with methyl bromide (MB)

    Great video! I'm doing a project at the moment with pallets and cinder blocks. Building a small decking area as well.
    I can appreciate the effort shown to make this bench be wise it's not easy taking them apart etc. The pallets I'm using, like yours, are very hardy and strong, as they're quite good quality, thus dismantling them is not as easy as it looks! Although you made it look rather easy lol! 😁 What saw are you using? I bought one which is applicable for the job but still, it's touch cutting through the thick timber! I use a screwdriver too but mine isn't as good as yours, because I broke mine in the process! I'll prob go looking for one like yours as it's much better! Thanks for posting. It's one of the better videos I've watched to verify I'm doing it right!
    Great little bench! Mine will have cinder blocks involved but I hope it turns out as good as yours with that professional rustic charm 👌
