Since you have so much pallet wood left over you should let Sam and Joe design their own table and give them the same amount of time to build it. See if they can sell it for more money.

In my time of taking pallets apart, I found that cutting the outside runner off is the first step. Then you can rock the boards enough on the other runners to get the pry bar in without marring the wood. The inside runners typically have fewer nails as well. Then when I get the inside runners off, I take the small piece of wood off the outside runners so that I can use those as well.

I work at a printing plant and we use hundreds of pallets a week. A long time ago we had a shipment of new half skid (24x40”) pallets that were made out of what appeared to be a red oak. We had probably 150 of these. A coworker that also had a full wood shop took a bunch home and made wall planters and other small items from them
@excitedbox57055 ай бұрын
I think there are tons of better things to make from pallets than an undersized table with a high material cost from the epoxy. Even low quality pallets can be used for framing a couch and after covering with the cushions + fabric nobody can tell that it is made from pallet wood. You can also steam the wood to bend it and if you have one of those steel pallet strap things you can make wagon wheels or miniature barrels as decorations. Add a brand to it and you have decorative barrel mugs. If you have a CNC router you can do signage or other carvings etc. You basically want the work and uniqueness to give the value and not the material.

One thing I have learned is you need to stage photos. Have your main photo with the product "in use". Most people can't imagine what it will look like without a nudge. So throw a nice wall in the back ground. For this, I would have had the laptop, lamp, and notebook on it. Second photo, some books with book ends, an open book and some candles. You can also show alternate uses, like a 2 person dinner table set up. Then have the white background detail photos. It is one of my fav things to do is the staged photos once I am done building my project. When in doubt, follow what fancy websites like pottery barn or William Sonoma ect do. They almost never show just the product as their main Pic. In the world of drop shippers, you need to show a little more effort.

Another thing I see people do staggeringly often on Facebook Marketplace (and other similar venues) is offer good things with almost ZERO details beyond whatever is most obvious. If I see a piece of furniture, more often than not there will be no measurements included, for example. Potential buyers need to know whether an item could fit into their space. Or there will be a window AC with no size, BTU rating, or model number. And if you ask the seller questions, they typically answer only the first question, if any, or just say they don’t know - often making you wait 24 hours for that tidbit.

You would not regret getting a nail remover gun. Pneumatic style will pay for itself in time saved. Also, a forked pry tool for pallets, whether home made or store bought is also worth its weight in gold for ease of breaking down pallets. Time is money and saving your back is also important. If you get a power nail remove, do it over a bucket with water in it, as the nails ricochet with a lot of intensity!!!!!!

Yup. I got the Air Locker AP700 a little while ago and it’s a massive time saver. With me on the “pallet buster” and my son on the denailer, we can have a pallet disassembled and nail free in under 5 minutes. That job used to take me 20+ minutes working alone with a hammer and a small pry bar.

John used one of those forked pry tools for pallets in his first pallet video. I don't know what he did with it but it really wasn't working so good for him anyways. I use a custom fork I made that I hit with a lump hammer. I like how it busts the slats off pallets. John has all the gear to make one too. You get a piece of 3" C channel and cut a little pocket in one end a few inches deep Then one the legs of that pocket you weld some 2 inch leg pieces of angle. So they stick up like little feet. When you have the bar on a pallet the channel should be about at a 45° angle when those angle feet are under a slat. Then you wack the top of that channel with a lump hammer. So the feet drive up under the slat. That rig pops boards off.

I don’t think the listing/product is the issue with trying to sell it but it’s what you’re trying to sell it on. Marketplace is usually for people who are getting used things for a cheaper price rather than expensive new things that look professional. And the lower prices with such good photos taken make it a “seems too good to be true” people may think it’s some sort of scam. (And the 3 different listings from different accounts wouldn’t help this either lol)
@YaaLFH5 ай бұрын
The listing was very much the issue. It didn't look professional, it looked fake. Most people don't have a lot of imagination so they need better title than "river table desk" and a few bland photos on a white background. Next time he tries something like this he should lean into the eco aspect (reclaimed wood, repurposing, etc.) and stage the photos in a "real" environment with examples it can be used - so at least one or two photos of it being used as a desk, with a laptop and accessories, another as a dining table for two or four.

My personal observation on Marketplace: Not sure if it's just my area or if this happens with everyone. This last year no matter how many times I edit my location, miles radius, etc. Marketplace insists on showing me items that are HOURS away from my location or located in another Country (I live in the US on the border of Canada but there's 24 MILES of WATER that separate us). If I put a particular item into the Marketplace search, it only shows stuff hours away from me. Yet when I click the "categories" it'll show the items I want are available all around me. I've been looking for tires & a lawnmower for over a year but Marketplace insists on showing things too far away. I finally gave up on Marketplace. I have to wonder if these reasons are why there wasn't any interest on the table/desk.

As someone with experience in marketing - your biggest mistake (if we don't count using fb marketplace to sell high end professionally made table) was using only photos and video of the table with plain white background. That type of photo looks great for a listing and showing details of the product but it won't catch anybody's attention as it looks just too plain. You need to add another style of photo - situational. Take that table and put it in a situation it would be used in, for example, someone's living room or study. Put some decorations on it, some plants (it has been proven that people react positively to plants, even the fake plastic ones), maybe a book or magazines (but keep the theme neutral, unless you are selling to a specific group, in which case go all in) and a laptop. Maybe have someone in plain clothing ("your average Joe/Jane") sit by it in some of the photos. It will help your potential customers envision what that table might look like in their house and it will help it stand out in the sea of other similar products. Imagine how the furniture is sold for example in Ikea - you have entire fake rooms made out of their products because it sells them better, people can imagine where and how in their houses they could use those pieces of furniture and they are then more enticed to buy them because of that.

I can’t say forsure how it would stick to wood, I’ve used it more for automotive than anything and you can even get it down in 1/8 or 1/16 in sizes which makes the stuff you can do just crazy, but the $15 is worth the try if you ask me, but even in a situation like this it maybe better to just use a paintbrush.

I'm at 19 minutes and I dont know yet how it'll end up but if I were to give advice, I'd say keep it as just the desk top sans the base. Reasoning being that there is a hype regarding standing desk nowadays and a lot of standing desk enjoyers would love to customize their desk top. The only issue is that there is no standardize configuration(?) for how to connect the base with the top. And since there are plenty of standing desk manufacturers, its hard to make something that fit all. What you can do is leave the desk top as is and then either ask the customer to give measurements for the placement before shipping out or just let them handle it themselves.

As an American now living permanently in the Philippines, I didn't give much thought on getting pallets for woodworking. Figured likein the States, businesses would be thrilled to have me come and get some. Wasn't further from the truth. every business I inquired about pallets told me either each pallet has a deposit on it (like in the old days of glass Coke bottles) and had to return to get the depsoit back, or they wanted up to 600 pesos (about $12 USD) for each average 48' x 48' pallet. In the rare cases I could find stores getting rid of pallets, they STILL wouldn't give to me because the locals either use the wood to make charcoal to sell, or (in the sadder instance) use the wood to make housing. Was another reminder that I'm living in a third world country. Back in the States, I made some nice items with pallet wood. For now, here I'm still stuck with just plywood.

Someone get this man one of those magic nail remover tools, and up the scale! Why one river table, when you can go entire pallet dining room set. Toss in a challenge, like "No nails/screws" for the final "pallet project" Could be part of a bigger series of furnishing a house with various pallet challenges.

You can buy a purpose built pallet breaker that pops the boards off pritty clean its like a crowbar with two lever points. Once you have used it a few times its quick to break up pallets

Hi John! I wanted to ask you to please introduce the option of audio in other languages, Spanish! For your videos, it's something very simple and for the South American community that follows you, we can enjoy them without missing details of your explanations or following a subtitle that distracts us from the content of the video. The Blacktail Studio channel has already added this option in several languages and gained many more followers! Thank you and your channel is great.
