How to PALLETWOOD the RIGHT WAY - Make Bricks

[@lyleswan4106]

This channel is so sick mate. Bang on the money for a relatively inexperienced person like myself. Your presentation and laid-back style of narrating take all the fuss away. Again, bang on the money and makes me feel like I can achieve what I want to build! cheers

I was sent here by the diy knuckleheads man and he`s right you do know your pallets. Great video as a new viewer i will be back. Thank you for sharing your knowledge on pallets. ( Stay Safe ) .

[@amyharper7854]

That was great! I can’t wait til I can start building things that will hopefully be almost as nice as yours. Thank you for all your amazing videos. I really do enjoy them. Very inspiring!

Brilliant straightening jig. Especially for a beginner who has a ton of hope and little money and less experience. Basics are important for success and skill growth. Thanks for sharing your experience. I truly enjoy watching your videos. 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

[@coopertown7867]

Cool stuff man. I salvage all sorts of materials from job sites and have recently started salvaging pallets. Thanks for the good videos and ideas!

[@BC5391]

If I ever get around to it I'll make a video of how to save more of your pallets as you take them apart. Don't know if you have any harbor freight stores down under, but get a cheap hydraulic porta power set and attach the spreader section, put the spreader in the pallet (use 2x4 spacers for support) and pump, the pallet will come apart saving most of your lumber. Great Video keep them coming.

[@daleparker9049]

Thanks for this, and all your other videos. I've been making rustic looking items from pallets for a while, and this really helped me to diversify and make different types of things!

[@richardshort4587]

Did a bunch of pallets recently with dodgy nails breaking heads off all over the place. My solution was vise grips and a pry bar worked, like magic. The pincers you where using look like they will cut the nail more than grip them. I've got two pairs from my old man when he was around. He said they where for pulling up Lino tacks. Nice work though enjoyed the video. 👍 Here have a brewsky on me 🍻 don't worry it's not Fosters

You little ripper, that pallet wood turned out magnificent !!I recently came across your channel after looking into DIY cement pots, as well as watching some drag racing video's and some video's about making chopping boards - my wife suggested she needs a few, how youtube pair things together is beyond me. Another of my favorite channels is called DIYForKnuckleheads You walk people through with genuine commitment to help people become better in whatever they take from your Video's. I have about 6 other woodworking channels I am subscribed to, those ones are for those who have a few years or more experience. I myself am working on Pallet wood, at least this way if I screw up? The damaged wood can be thrown in the odds n ends bucket to find a use for later on.

[@OzSawdustMakers]

Mate, this was great. I am a lover of all free wood, sure it takes more time and effort but it's a special feeling making something nice from materials that someone else wanted to throw away. Thanks for the tips.

[@abrahampitman8819]

I've just come across your channel and its great. I'm based in Townsville as well and I've been building pallet projects for a while now. I often work with larger pine pallets which are usually fairly new, and unweathered. I've found that the larger crowbars like the ones you use can dent the softer thin wood quite heavily. For lighter boards I like the short thin flat wrecking bars, bunnings sell cheap Craftright ones for $6. Also, when you had the nail snap with the nail extractor pliers, I find that the really brittle nails can do this fairly often - I suspect that its due to a concentrated stress on the nail from the pliers. When I get one that breaks I like to use a pair of vicegrips with a sacrificial block underneath. I find that the greater purchase on the nail from the vicegrips can work wonders.

[@eyuptony]

Hi just found your channel YT recommended you. You make interesting use of the pallet wood it looks very effective the way you laminate it together with the different contrasting colours. You've saved yourself some time using the new machinery. Tony

[@ahmedghali3321]

Very good work mark

[@FirstnameLastname-bp5cm]

Just found your channel. Nice work man! Good on ya

[@1d2a3ve41951]

Hi, just something I found out when watching you trying to remove nails from a skid & the heads come off, if you hit the nail in a couple of taps, then pull it out straight away with your crow bar, it will come out better. striking the nail first breaks the adhesive that some of the nails are coated in causes a friction to break its hold on the nails!!!

[@SMee67]

I've been doing this for a while and it works brilliantly every time 👍🏾

Jesper Makes recommended to take a look at your builds. I'm a long way off getting to a glue up man. Built a big shed 12x 9 mtrs . Needs power and concrete floor. I have some tools and some time . Ya given me a shit load of inspiration, to keep going and it all done. I got a few pallets, made a pallet buster, broke em up. Gonna keep chipping away at it. One question. Logical I recon . Nail holes. Do you organize your wood in any particular way to avoid them, and if so how do you do that. Maybe a video! Cheers Lex

[@Sigma1976-SS]

Love your channel great 👍 info thank you.

[@SimplyDigitalMedia]

Absolutely love your videos, they’ve inspired me to give woodworking a go! Can you tell me if your pallet wood slabs are a mixture of hard and soft wood or do you just stick to one type of wood? Thanks

[@zhookeeper]

Just discovered your channel. Bloody awesome. Love all the tips. Only one I use that I don't see others use very often, is heat stubborn nails... Sometimes the pallets have used the big twist nails that have glue on them. Stick like a bastard (as designed). But I have a little gas torch (only a kitchen size one), only takes 30sec to heat the nail, then it will pull out he'll of a lot easier.

[@jeffreythompson9549]

Excalibur Extractor HL 1121. They are a plier type of gizmo that grips the nail, head or headless, and outs them with relative ease. The harder you grip, the easier it comes. C&L Tool centre at Banyo, Brisbane have them for $35. Kind of expensive, but I wouldn't be without mine.

[@sheilbwright7649]

Well done. One trick for nail removal, when all else is failing put your crowbar in place then grab the top of the nail with vise grips tightened as much as possible. You are then leveraging something stronger than a rusty nail head. It's a bit of a time chewer so save it for when the only alternative is drilling numerous holes around the nail.

Love the work. Beautiful looking furniture. Upcycling pallets does take a lot of work and can lead to many asking why the effort - sometimes it's difficult for people from other parts of the world to understand how starved woodworking in Australia and New Zealand are for affordable variety of timber. And mat not realise how expensive common timber is, 2x4 from Bunnings is $1.71 USD per linear foot, where the same from Lowes (CA) is as low as $0.50 USD. In the antipodes we're paying more than 3 times as much as elsewhere (US) just for basic framing - exotics and specialty timbers are many multiples of that.

[@deonholt]

Thanks so much for this. One question: Are the thickness of the slats mostly the same and how thick are they? Greetings from South Africa.

[@jofloresz]

Do you think pallet wood glued can make building beams to create a new room for a mobile home?

[@catnik1971]

[@nelson7940]

from cape coral florida a tip on how to remove nails from the pallet runners easy. wet the wood realy good the water expanced the wood nails come out like butter.

[@Nettle314]

Which straightening jig do you prefer? This one or the one you have with those bessey pull clamps? I made the latter, I thought that looked genius, and I have those clamps. But I made it out of two pieces of 18mm ply, so it came out a bit too high, not getting to utilize the max of my saw blade. I'd plane it, but I put in a bunch of brads for glue, so that was a bad idea

[@flu-fiorde4324]

What are the measurements you come up with on those pieces? I mean the slats, before they are glued.

[@Saria_89]

Thanks for the info, I love that jig! Aren't the coloured pallets treated with toxic stuff? I thought it's recommended to not even touch them with bare hands?

[@billzorba9424]

OK just getting myself organised to do a side hustle of playing with wood. Wondering why you have made a sled to get a square edge on the timber? I thought that's what that stand up edge on the table saw was for? Cheers keep up the videos

[@dainermade]

Hi, what ever runs up against the fence must be nice a straight. A bowed board won’t run through the blade nicely and can cause severe kickback. A wonky board will bind the blade, like trying to cut a curve with a circular saw. It will kick back

[@stevecurrier2462]

You should get a air powered denailer, they work great getting nails out fast.

[@ivan7453]

Just a thought..............what about using some RHS in the glue process to keep the wood from bowing under pressure?

When you first planed them down I thought “hey what a great idea to leave each board single, slice in half lengthways them in 6” pieces. Parkay flooring wood. A lot of work but much cheaper than the real thing.

The "AirLocker" pnumatic nail remover works awesomely, however from time to time punching nails from thicker boards they only come out half way, I just continue punching all from that board then flip it over shoot them back in flip again and they come out second hit. I've got an area set up where I have a gal bucket set about 250mm below the under side of my board with a thick wood lid I made with like a letterbox slit in it to catch the nails, they come out at a squillion miles an hour...

[@scottbionicnerf8727]

I'm well aware of the cost of time in the disassembly of pallets. Anyone who even thinks of it as "FREE-WOOD!!!!" is most terribly mistaken. For even entertaining the thought, they should consider having to mow the backyard and trim with string trimmer, then, without a cool-off period, no shower, no changing clothes, head out to the businesses and score those "jems-of-free-wood" and transport them to the aforementioned backyard, and disassemble 15 of those bad-boys! With the metal detector to get every blade destroying nail/spike/bolt/staple/deck-screw. Then, I want to hear them call it "FREE-WOOD"? I can't force myself to refer to it as free wood, but rather "Reclaimed-Wood". It's largely my media of choice, but it ain't free. I use $300.00 worth of tools just to reclaim it. Not mention the transport and disassembly of the media.
