Cleaning Up My Shop

[@marcellemay7721]

I just came about your channel today and subbed. The 3d coffee table build fascinated me, and also made me contemplate the outrageous amount of work that goes into building something like that. not to mention the creativity and imagination. You need to believe that you are a woodworker...because you are. We never perfect our craft, we just get better and more experienced, and that's the way it should be. I'm a career carpenter of 40plus years now, and I'm 58 yrs old, been doing it my whole life, raised up in the business as my father was a contractor and I went to work with him even as a 10yr old kid. I'm just now getting into building furniture after all these years. Your young, stick to your passion,,,you'll be amazed 5 yrs down the road when you look back and see what you accomplished. Just keep plugging along. I can't even imagine what you can build with a crooked barrel stave...personally, I'd just burn them, but that's because I don't have your vision. You'll find your niche.

[@marcellemay7721]

I like your band saw, seems like just the thing I'm looking for. Capable and not outrageously heavy. What is it?

[@patricksmith3135]

I saw a tv show where several barrels were used. Two were left intact and were attached by a scribed piece of timber about two - three inches thick and was screwed to the barrels. This formed a bar for a recreational area of a room. Two other barrels were disassembled, the staves were dipped in a long tub of poly to seal the aroma apparently and then were brad nailed to the barter and to a piece of lumber like a 2 by 2 attached to the barrel bottoms. It was extremely handsome when done. I think some shelves were installed below the barter somehow. Other staves were used on a staircase banister. Beautiful work. If you have more barrels still in one piece you could break ground on another new project. Only 3 or 4 million people watched that show in the USA so you could be first in Western Canada. :)

Epic Upcycling is another pallet building channel that I like watching. Keep it up Ryan. I foresee big things in your future. Love watching your content and how you progress with everything. I have built a table with soft pallet wood lately myself. Not as involved as your work, so I can appreciate the sweat you put into yours. Cheers brother! I’ll be waiting to see your next video.

[@ryanhawkins]

Thanks Ryan! I’ve watched quite a bit of Epic Upcycling; his creations are on another level.

[@davidgadreau3339]

Those boards and the oil, nice! Can't wait to see some numbers crunching!

[@jon_craftingo.o4686]

Congrats on finally “doing the needful” as my Indian friend would say. I definitely need to clean up my shop as well, and if the stars align I expect it will happen some time.

[@josephflint9902]

Your very Good at what you do..Looking forward to your next plain ...............

[@ryanhawkins]

Thanks!

[@terristroh3965]

I saw those barrel ends and thought tables, bar tops, stools, round cutting boards,…the list goes on. I wish I lived close enough that I could pop n for a day and help with some of your needed organization. Alas I live in central Arkansas which is truly close to nothing.

[@ryanhawkins]

😂

[@juliengrenier9678]

Can't believe you are the only pallet woodworker on youtube. I think you might be on the something and start a trend. Joke aside, I really like your style and you sound authentic, I hope that venture in profitable to you.

[@ryanhawkins]

Thank you🙂

[@aldopine]

As a long time subscriber I am impressed with how far you've come Ryan. Excellent video❗🙂

[@ryanhawkins]

Thank you! Continuing to build my vision one day at a time🙂

[@imadethiscuzimbored3]

i have scoured the internet and i can confirm he is the first and also the only one building tables and cutting boards out of pallets a few have tried but alas to no success

[@ryanhawkins]

😂I wondered if folks would pick up on my sarcasm

[@ivansapto]

You definitely got the magic. Lol 😂 😂 😂 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@davespenst5202]

Sounds like a great transition into tables, I’ve done several and they are very,very satisfying. Also your shop is soooo large maybe look at some racking system to put away all your awesome materials 🤷‍♂️ just a thought.

[@ryanhawkins]

A better lumber storage solution is definitely on the list of to-do’s.

[@luisgomezjr.1594]

Please, I would want those wood scraps/off cuts from cutting boards along with some barrel staves please. I can make lots of end grain cutting boards.

[@luisgomezjr.1594]

I would enjoy to try to make cutting boards out of the off cuts of your previous cutting boards you’ve made. 👍🏻

[@luisgomezjr.1594]

Hey Ryan, Also, instead of taking the wood scraps to the landfill, can please take any wood scraps you aren’t using?

[@oldielocks]

Hi Ryan - love your channel, really appreciate your in depth videos and explanations, too! Just wanted to mention that we have a youtuber here in Australia called Dainer Made that makes furniture out of pallets. Just an FYI. Love your work, and if I could I would patronise your channel, but sorry - cant do it.

[@nickyt3269]

was that a joradn peterson quote on the white board?

[@shawnswc2539]

If you are looking at making another table you should look at making A gaming D&D table. A lot of people like myself Is looking for people to make them a nice table with A TV or a oh drop in the middle apartment for Dungeon maps to put in too. I know I would love to see your outlook and view on making a good gaming table. So far your craftsmanship is amazing I love seeing all the details that you put into your woodcraft

[@ryanhawkins]

Thanks! I’m curious, I’ll do some googling on your suggestion.

[@michaelwillson6847]

Ryan great video actually been talking about u with couple different creators about your channel recently. Can't wait for next week's video gonna really help me as this is kinda similar thing to what am trying to start. Granted a don't have the shop space or all the equipment or all the wood u do but am working on it but can't wait see what your thinking. Another thing for u incase you hadn't looked at it with the staves over here anyway clocks are really popular with the barrel staves. Just a thought. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

[@ryanhawkins]

Thanks Michael! And hey, we all start somewhere. I started in an unheated carport with a single light bulb with just a few tools I had from my carpentry years and a few pieces of cedar. Looking forward to delivering all the info to you.

[@ICU2B4UDO]

That large circular Douglas Fir would make a great sundial...2nd!

[@ryanhawkins]

That’d be an interesting build🤔😁

[@ICU2B4UDO]

@@ryanhawkins ...Dude! I'd love to see that!...The metal pieces for the shadows could be made out of high-polished and coated copper with the Fir being treated and coated in marine varnish so it can handle the changes in weather...That would be sweet to see!!

[@kabbiekabuki4917]

Hi big fan from Kenya Do you have plans for your 3D coffee table build?

[@ryanhawkins]

Sorry, I don’t

[@RPRsChannel]

*_So you don't have a wood-pellet-making-machine?_*

[@brentfrench752]

I would love to get some used wine barrels. I’m in Southern California and it seems nobody wants to part with them for less than $100 each. I can’t even find anyone that will part with pallets, and hardwood costs a fortune, and I don’t have a hardwood dealer near me. Yeah, I know, I sound pathetic. I’m an older beginner woodworker, and disabled so can’t spend much on wood, so not sure what to do. You can only build so much with pine. There are so many people making the same products, so thats another problem I face. What sells that everyone isn’t making? Getting into woodworking is a bit more challenging than I thought, but I enjoy it so hopefully I’ll figure things out. Yep, still pathetic! I’ve enjoyed watching you and look forward to seeing what you have planned for the future! Best of luck to you on your builds and channel.

[@ryanhawkins]

Thanks Brent, best of luck on your journey🙂

[@michaelwillson6847]

Ok dude first you don't sound pathetic the fact that your trying to do it that's big plus in my book especially in the current climate of the world and being disabled I tip my hat to u. I have similar problems here in Scotland big companies know the value of wood and wanna charge u through the nose tor it. I am 32 no joinery skills but am trying set this kinda thing Like Ryan's doing up aswell on limited money can't put much into it an also on limited space ie right now working out my back garden and garden shed with very limited space and machinery and having do it once kids are in bed at night or when I have time during day. I have 3 young kids 2 of which are believed to be autistic so trying find the balance between doing this and being with them isn't easy. Pine pallets are all I find here in Scotland we try use whisky barrels but again people don't want let them go cheap. And I will never ever ever get the prices of boards that America and Canada makers can sell things at over here. One thing I've found especially recently is eBay is great place to find off cuts of hardwood exotics or even look for blanks you can glue together makes it cheaper or FB market place seems be a good one aswell. Keep plugging along though dude you'll get there. So yea me (pathetic)🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

[@brentfrench752]

@@michaelwillson6847 Thank you sir! I appreciate your comments. I can certainly understand your challenge finding time to work on projects, and the limited space to do it. It’s difficult to find time to work on anything when kids are awake, especially woodworking as they’ll want to be out helping dad. I’ve collected tools over the years, and now only buy a tool if I need it for a project, and even then, I try not to buy it unless I know I’ll continue to need it on future projects. The problem is that most power tools aren’t cheap! Thank you for your suggestions on potential sources for wood! I wish you the best on your wood creations. With so much negative stuff going on around the globe, and the challenges we all face everyday, It’s nice to get away and lose yourself making something, if only for a little time at night.

[@michaelwillson6847]

@@brentfrench752 yea and it's not exactly easy when there 3 and 4 but still wanna help u make things. I'm kinda like u acquired tools over the last few years dont have everything but enough to get me started the now and I'll get more as I need them. And no your right there not cheap. Good luck to u aswell things will get better. 😲🤔🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@mariushegli]

I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.

[@ryanhawkins]

Thank you🙂

[@gregblackwell5122]

Hi Ryan I really like your stuff but your not the only one making furniture from pallets. Dainer made does it but its not as classy as you. Keep up the good work. Thanks

[@ryanhawkins]

Hey Greg, I probably should have dropped a caption at that point indicating my sarcasm😂 - a lot of folks build some pretty cool stuff out of pallets. Thanks for watching all the way through!

[@nedimbuyukafsar6434]

👍👍👍

[@loustoneberger8921]

So,looking forward to the numbers.. what do you do for a living?

[@ryanhawkins]

I do this. Between boards, KZbin and the odd carpentry job I take on; that’s currently how I make a living.

[@kenschinkel1499]

Is this wood working a side hustle like many of us or is this your full time gig?

[@ryanhawkins]

It’s been my full time gig since May/2021. Was a side hustle before that.

[@justinzanone5800]

first!!! nice boards!

[@ryanhawkins]

Thanks!

[@somebuddy507]

That was impressive clean up! That itself is a big project 😂🖐️ Great job bro. By the way if you are heading to the furniture direction - probably you already know but- "epic upcycling" channel makes awesome things. I am so excited to see your projects. Good luck 🤞

[@ryanhawkins]

I’ve been following him for some time, his projects really are epic!

[@tomwood5247]

You should check out Dainer Made on KZbin. He's been on the pallet furniture scene for a couple of years now. His tables are epic.

[@ryanhawkins]

Been following him for some time, he does some pretty cool work!

[@loustoneberger8921]

Also make sure your calculations include the shop clean up time 😊😊

[@ryanhawkins]

Got it!

[@waderue]

why don't you put wood stove in your shop and you heated easy that way

[@ryanhawkins]

I’ve looked into it. It’s a 2000 sq.ft space that ideally needs to maintain a consistent temperature around the clock. A wood stove might not be my best solution.

[@uberfreak9741]

Woah if you think J Peterson is worth quoting I'm out of here.
