You are a genius! Thank you so much for showing us this technique!

[@GardeningforBeginners]

You are so welcome!

[@jerrystout3032]

Great Job Pete!

[@GardeningforBeginners]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jpendowski7503]

Thanks for a ‘real guy’ method, without fancy tools.

[@GardeningforBeginners]

Thanks I has no tools so made do Cheers Ray

[@1ilgrillo]

Genius! I have access to lots of pallets when I need them and this is how I will break them down. Excellent.

[@GardeningforBeginners]

Maybe use a mallet or something simular easier than a brick cheers Ray

[@billparrish4385]

A tip to make this even easier: Instead of using this blocking/bridging method on every joint, just remove the 3 that are opposite bottom ones in this manner, but then use your blocks to prop up one end of the 3 stringers, then place the timber you're whacking with the brick directly on the bottom boards, and pound them down and away from the stringers, removing them. Then flip the pallet over so that the top boards are on the bottom, prop it up on the blocks, and knock out the remaining top ones this same way, pounding your 'tool' timber with your brick directly onto the board you're removing, pounding it down and away from the stringer. Your block/bridge works better for the ones lined up with bottom ones, since hammering directly on those at an angle can cause cracking. But hammering directly, straight down on each board you're removing with something the same width to equalize the force across the board will prevent any new cracks, plus is a faster method then setting up the bridge across the blocks each time. You'll only have to reposition the blocks at one end of the 3 stringers once, putting them under the opposite end of the stringers when you get to removing the boards at that end.

[@GardeningforBeginners]

That's a great idea. Will have to practice other ways Cheers Ray

[@joeofnotrades]

Love the way you're like I forgot my hammer so I'll use this brick instead

[@SusanRogersMakingItWork4Me]

Never seen it done this way, but I'm going to try it💕 Thank you💕

[@GardeningforBeginners]

Would be easier with a mallet Cheers Ray

[@NixPix]

came over from Eccentric live. I don't know why but I love UK allotment farming and listening to your accent. I will be back gave your channel a sub.

[@GardeningforBeginners]

Thank you for popping by. I have a very southern Dorset accent local the the south coast. I just hope people understand me sometimes, cheers Ray

[@angelinegrows7765]

Thank Ray ! I’m going to be dismantling pallets and building now !

[@GardeningforBeginners]

Thatsd great - What are you going to build ? Cheers Ray

[@angelinegrows7765]

Going to have a go at building an open fronted shed to dry onions etc in

[@GardeningforBeginners]

@@angelinegrows7765 That sounds Great - My first build was going to be a tool shed but then found on in BQ for £30 instead of £380 so good deal Cheers Ray

[@matthaines9400]

I'm definitely going to try this Thanks very much

[@GardeningforBeginners]

Great thanks

[@chazr8764]

I'm going to be doing this for the next couple of weeks to make a no gap fence, hopefully it works the way I want it to

[@GardeningforBeginners]

That will be very handy and cheap Cheers Ray

[@ewannowak1600]

Clever idea!

[@GardeningforBeginners]

Maybe use a mallet or simular Cheers Ray

[@john6203]

The sucess of this method is entirely dependent on the type of pallet as there are many. Particularly troublesome are the ones with the nails bent in (check underside of pallet) there is no way of removing these without cutting either where the nails are driven in or where the board meets the stretcher. Reciprocating saw with metal blade is the most efficient method for this. Otherwise, nice vid.👍

[@GardeningforBeginners]

Thank you for the great explanation Cheers Ray

[@nc3826]

Reciprocating Sawzall leaves metal in the lumber, so it's pointless for most uses.

[@john6203]

@@nc3826 I often resort to a nail punch to get them out when they can be seen.

[@nc3826]

​@@john6203 Of course that's an option, but it only works for the decking, not the stringers.... And it's still a lot of work..... Do you ever use a pneumatic nail punch? Some of us don't want to leave any metal in the wood. There are too many variables in terms of pallet construction and how they are going to be used. So to each their own.

[@john6203]

@@nc3826 No I use the old-fashioned hammer powered nail punch😁. I always endeavour to try and save as much as I can when taking them apart, but it's not always easy as some pallets are constructed in a way you lose a lot on dissemble. Pallets for me anyway, are hard to come by.

[@tinaboamah3406]

Thanks, going to try this!

[@GardeningforBeginners]

Have fun!

[@colinsullivan9312]

Looking for pallets going to have a go myself great video 👍

[@GardeningforBeginners]

Why not watch out for the pallet raise bed in the coming days Cheers Ray ✅🌸🥕

[@blustardave]

First :) Canny handy hint there Ray. Nice one :)

[@GardeningforBeginners]

Nice one. Thank you for taking time to watch Cheers Ray

[@ConcreteCauldron]

Thank you

[@GardeningforBeginners]

You're welcome

[@ericaslittlewelshgarden]

You make that look sol easy. Great video.

[@GardeningforBeginners]

Thanks 👍 It would have been a lot easier with a mallet that a brick Cheers Ray

[@Crisferusa]

From experience ripping things up... I've learned to lay nail boards with the nail points down. No one intentionally steps on a nail, but all it takes is a little stumble or inattention for a long, rusty nail to go into the bottom of your foot and maybe even out the top. Even if you're up to date on your tetanus shots, a nail in your foot can make your life miserable for a week or so until it heals. Cheers

[@GardeningforBeginners]

That's a great point yo make Cheers Ray

[@drippingwax]

Did you post this exact comment in another video? :)

[@1Love1717]

I've actually stepped on a long rusty nail. Not fun... lol

[@drippingwax]

Have you tried sliding boards longer than the pallet all of the way through instead of moving shorter boards each time?

[@GardeningforBeginners]

No but that's a great idea Cheers Ray

[@Allotmentman62]

That seems easier than a crowbar and hammer 👌👌👌

[@GardeningforBeginners]

A mallet would be easier than using a brick though. Cheers Ray

[@jamieleehodgin3644]

What if I don't have the extra wood for underneath? Any ideas on what to use to replace it

[@samsdadalways888]

Great tip Ray, thank you 😊

[@bristolveggiebeds5310]

I always struggle doing this, it ends up splitting for me!

[@GardeningforBeginners]

All the boards removed cane out ok there was two that was presplit . This method worked ok for the pallet but various pallets do have more nails and could split. Cheers Ray

[@deansbackgardenvegplot.9689]

Wondered where you got that idea from

[@GardeningforBeginners]

From SPE on youtube Dean Cheers Ray

[@duanemckamey9655]

That seems like a neat way to drum up need for a tetanus shot. Nice though Ray and excellent music.

[@GardeningforBeginners]

Thank you very much . Will take hammer next time Cheers Ray

[@leemasters7188]

Why is it that your videos copy everything digging for dinner post???

[@GardeningforBeginners]

I will check out how he cooked his Swede then Cheers Ray
