I Take Wood From People's Bins

I went out for a JUNK HUNT around the city of Norwich and found loads of materials and then used them to make a woodworking project! I like using waste materials in my project so searching the alleyways, communal bin areas and skip diving or dumpster diving is a great way to find things!

[@CharlieSkapentry]

Been so bored of KZbin woodworking for a while, these junk hunt videos are great and far more interesting than the usual stuff

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks 👍

[@JohannaVanWinkle]

I love that you hunt for scrap wood from bins and utilize them. So many good things end up in the land fill.

[@therandombrandan942]

I love the junk hunt videos

[@RagnBoneBrown]

I love making them so that's good! 👍

[@roncooper6302]

Being retired for 20 years I have no need to rummage any more but I still like doing it and get a great deal of satisfaction from recycling. Well done.

[@helencourtnell5621]

Love your dedication to keeping ‘rubbish’ out of landfill. Your use of junk is uplifting and heartwarming and the results are so amazing.

[@Umski]

Glad I'm not the only one that sees others' "junk" as a source of useful material - picked up a square drain pipe for my AC pipework the other week 😁 Not to mention 3 fully working printers at a GP surgery and the kids' school - maximum pages printed 150 = ~£1 per page 🙄

[@uktony1525]

Bed slats are brilliant for replacing the slats on garden furniture. All our garden benches and chairs have been replaced by them 😀.

[@danieljason8257]

These junk hunt videos are great fun to watch! Keep 'em coming! The oak drawer/dresser was a cool find, loved the finished product.

[@Badgerworkshop]

Great finds and builds. Loving the jazz

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you buddy!

[@leestafford3547]

Honestly Keith, there's just something about your channel that sets you apart from all the other great channels I follow. Found you back in the day from your 1st pallet shed build at the old house, and always look forward to your uploads. And you're a cat person which goes along way! Keep up the awesome work ❤️

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Wow, thanks!

[@bensampson982]

That little cabinet cleaned up so nicely, what a great find!

[@Wes12940]

Yes CATS! xD I don't know why this is looked down? We recycle everything, metal, plastic, glass, and it's really important for the planet so I don't see why wood should be different.

[@brianharris7243]

Cats run their own 'Owner Recycling Scheme'

[@jeffroberts760]

Just curious, have you never heard about how trash recycling is a farce? The costs are too high and most of it goes to the landfill. Environmental impact very small, and actually may be a net negative because of the resources expended to process the trash

[@YaaLFH]

@@brianharris7243 The humans call it "the Cat Distribution System"

[@jennynations04]

I love your channel. It's a no pressure, relaxing good time. I also love your projects. A good way to think outside the box to keep trash down and repurpose things thrown away.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you so much!

[@hansdegroot8549]

Great haul. And an even better use of the gained materials. Thanks for sharing the video.

[@paulrowley71]

Excellent projects from other people’s unwanted materials. The drawers came out especially good. Inspiring. 👍🏼

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks so much 😊

[@DocteGaby]

I could have watched this all day! Thanks

[@callumevans77]

Love these scrap-finding videos, keep them coming!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you! Will do!

[@TapscottJ]

Makes me miss my dad, we'd go junk hunting for all kinds of stuff. Drove my mom a bit mad, but we had tons of repaired/reclaimed stuff. It was so much fun!

[@kristyjones7657]

😅WOW,🎉that was awesome!! Just to know you could make extra money by just taking junk home and making amazing pieces! What a gift!🎉

[@andljoy]

Always take a pallet if you have space in the car. It makes fantastic kindling. Steer clear of the coloured ones tho they are treated.

[@Smithb83]

Morning Keith, another Saturday morning with coffee in hand watching one of your videos ☕ thank you 👍🏻 My personal fave here is the firewood box, i too have stocked up for winter on logs, struggling to store kindling and odd sized logs. Building some of these will be perfect and free ⭐⭐⭐

[@Cradley684]

Great work Keith loved it,all that old timber being used would be great if you did more videos like this, have a nice day all !!! Brian UK !!!. 😀😀🙏👍.

[@joegoodsell]

Loving this style of video, Keith - has a really satisfying narrative to it!

[@mworm]

Awesome video Keith! You did a great job with that salvaged wood.

[@Paper_and_Light]

Really love this!!! So satisfying to watch you turn some trash into treasure. I also enjoyed the smooth jazz while watching you work 🎶👍

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@imaginitivity7853]

Good hunting. I intercepted a solid wood kids cot when I was at the tip. I checked after i got it and they retail for €500!!!. I was going to chop it up for materials, but now it's doing great service in the garage containing the bales of pet bedding and feed. 😂

[@joethompson11]

That desk half was a good find! I've picked up two of those full desks, one from the road side, the other from gumtree - both in Norwich. It's an old school desk if I'm not mistaken, one previous owner was telling me about the school giving them away at some point. Lovely things these, great to see it getting the respect it deserves. Well done!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Interesting! Thank you

[@cazee100]

Brilliant use of reclaimed materials, makes such good sense to reuse rather than landfill. Baby Brown is a lucky boy that daddy can make what he needs, next mission is a go cart for him!! Stay safe

[@alanstalker5499]

That 1st cabinet is fantastic. 👍👍

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you!

[@garylee4141]

Cracking video, like the old days restoring someone's else rubbish into a nice piece of furniture

[@avroncotton]

Nice work Kieth. Love the mood music too!

[@mickawe3239]

Lovely little film that, thank you.

[@Peter-uu2tn]

It's amazing what people throw away. I have a L200 pick up, and usually go for a drive around industrial estates when it's nice and dry, and surprising what you can pick up. Main thing is to always ask before taking.

[@javicarmonagalvez]

Great video, loved all the projects, but specially that toddler stair. Baby brown looked like he was having some real fun up there!! Thank you Keith!!

[@andyc972]

Thanks Keith, always fun to go on a junk hunt with you ! That small chest shows how easy it is to overlook something that is intrinsically sound ! The toddler step was an interesting idea, and the scrap boxes an ideal use of pallet wood, thanks for sharing !

[@RussellEaling]

Big thumbs up for the Junk Hunt series of videos. Just goes to show what is possible to make with an open mind to what you will find, and a bit of creative thinking and making.

[@ChristopherRNeumann]

Good on you for taking what would otherwise end up in a landfill and giving it another life. Both the projects came out great.

[@dwn2634]

Fascinated by this channel. Want to build a hifi unit and vinyl rack with reclaimed wood, so trying to pick up as many tips as possible.

[@RFC3514]

I'm pretty sure I once saw a film called "Junkhunts", or something very similar. It did involve wood.

[@DrawBoySeanie]

That little cabinet turned out great! It cleaned up so nicely. There was a house a road over from us clearing stuff out a few months ago, and I could see a small tv stand and a taller shelf sticking out of their skip but I didnt even go over for a look because we didn't have the space to store any of it. I'm in the middle of building a workshop now and I'd love to try fixing up some old furniture when I'm set up properly

[@NitroMaxOriginal]

Great work Keith, that desk end was a real find. 👍👍

[@glenrich-uu9zr]

A true environmentalist, doing something practically in daily life. Good Job!

[@MacoSalmon]

That was impressive. I really like this series :) keep it comming!

[@pugdaddie]

I love these junk hunt videos. I, too, enjoy nabbing usable wood from curbs and dumpsters. I just brought home several 10' long rough sawn oak timbers, 3" x 4".

[@sandman2651]

Really enjoyed watching this vid good to see you going back to your roots

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you!

[@JohnJohannesen-y1e]

Keep up the great work. I don't have the space or means to have that kind of workspace, so I'll live vicariously through you ;)

[@bobartex1812]

Been so looking forward to this video and it wasn't a disappointment. I'm sure it's one I'll certainly be coming back to and one I'll be recommending to my friends. Well done

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you very much

[@GrumpaLoz]

remembering back to your junk hunts at the channel beginnings...... nice to see up-cycling saving stuff from landfill.. 😀👍.. and the cool jazz....

[@gerhard6105]

I am Dutch but live in the Belgium Ardennes. Here most people also burn wood to heat. But when i go to the Netherlands to family and so, i see loads of wood in containers ( that go on lorries). They just throw it away. Also because using wood to heat of for coziness it very discouraged by the government. But where i live it is okay. I can and do take some wood sometimes but not loads. The Dutch even have a "complain line" to call if you have a complain about somebody in your street heating with wood. From the old hay floor beams i made a 3,4m long workbench and soon i will make one from the 5,5m long beams, that i still have. I am more into metal working but with such video's i also learn working with wood.

[@markduggan3451]

Baby Brown is getting bigger. You had a good haul. 👍

[@pgtips4240]

You made an excellent job of the drawer unit upscale and the raised platform was also a great idea and it will adapt with to baby Brown as he grows. All out of someone else's junk. Amazing!!

[@mandyleeson1]

These are my favourite videos. Thanks Keith, thoroughly enjoyed.

[@cobberpete1]

This last couple of weeks in my local suburbs ( Perth Australia), Has been our annual verge collection. I have been trawling the streets in my Utility looking for 'Treasure'. I put together a tool kit of hammer, saw, screwdrivers etc. I too made a few good finds. They are now in my storage pile for projects that come along. I have made a couple of the kiddie stools for friends. They are great to get the toddlers involved. Keep them coming Keith.

[@bennen14]

Love the videos. Something to give a go (had it demonstrated at a trade show I went to). When using the pullsaw trying only applying pressure on the back stroke and almost but not quite lifting the saw off the material on the forward stroke. The cut is about 4x the speed with the pullsaws I have. Keep up the good work! kind regards Ben Martin

[@emmavik-fredriksson640]

Love these junk videos!

[@philipwilliams8114]

I love these vids. Such great filming, it’s like proper telly.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you

[@26conno]

Love these videos! Just an FYI, I've bought the same stripper from home bargains too for those in the UK. It works really well on metal aswell! 👍🏻

[@shaun30-3-mg9zs]

Hi Keith, Great finds, the things you can make from skips and any thing that no one wants. That little cabinet looks brilliant now it's got a second chance. As always a great video, Take care

[@teresabell1014]

I'm so excited....I love junk. I live in Texas and we call it a 'Drive by ' where you drive slowly by and eye the pile.😊😊

[@LisaReilly-v3k]

These are always my favourite videos on your channel. I can believe that everyone assumes that wood is rubbish and chucks it out but good for people like you 👍 (and who says cats are unfriendly 🐈 🐈‍⬛)

[@timspoor]

Awesome creations! I love the idea of owning a genuine Brown junk hunt piece of furniture

[@tomrichardson7792]

I love these ones, seems to really add a freshness. You should get Matt to take you round his local area.

[@keithhooper6123]

Worked for a furniture store for thigh five years.Used to get loads of good stuff.Otherwise, Freecycle, Marketplace, etc.Trading estates,like you found.

[@mags8014]

Good stuff! You salvaged some interesting bits and your projects looked really interesting. Thank you.

[@wonkycutsworkshop]

This is the kind of video I like watching. Thank you. Looking forward to your next Junk Hunt.

[@__Timo__]

Hi Keith, really love your reclaiming episodes. Especially the scenes while walking around as I live in Germany, but many good memories of living in GB. Also, as every time: Nice builds. I liked the toddler stand most -maybe add some vertical strips to front and side so "likkle Keif" won't fall out.

[@CHARGERDON55]

Great work! I’m a new subscriber from America.

[@MissLady-pq4hc]

Wow, your work is wonderful.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you very much!

[@therandombrandan942]

You did a really good job restoring that cabinet

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks a lot!

[@chris_hertford]

Fantastic video didn't want it to end!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@edwardburroughs1489]

Nothing like watching a bin diving sesh on YT!

[@MCsCreations]

Really awesome work, Keith! And some fantastic findings indeed! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@todd603]

Really enjoying these videos, back to your roots!

[@TheWardagh]

Lovely job. Really enjoy these kind of videos. Thanks 👍🏼

[@torque9889]

Loving these vids Keith, I hope you keep the mini series going. Back to your roots!

[@markfrancis4756]

brilliant video Keith. Really inspiring. Thank you.

[@PRACTICALLY_BLIND]

Love that oak chest of drawers.

[@seantellnotail]

Keep these coming, Keith! This style of video seems to suit you and your channel very well

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks, will do!

[@LewHarriman]

Nice job on those short tapers. Tricky to get them so smooth and even with a handsaw, even when it's a Japanese saw. (Ask me why I know!)

[@reithryll]

Great video! Now it looks like I have a little while to wait to see the next small saw review and see if it adds another option with the range of site saws that seem to be appearing offering good entry points well below the Dewalt go to with apparently equal features and build.

[@Quaker521]

I do enjoy your junk hunt videos. Luckily, you have some good guys in Norfolk too.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Yes we do! Thanks for watching

[@rockmaninov]

Three projects in one video, I kept getting surprised with each new one!

[@jimtownsend7899]

Those stray cats are friendlier than my cat, whom we’ve had with us for close to 2.5 years!

[@joerobinson88]

Great video Kieth, really enjoying this new series!

[@Paul_Allaker8450]

Just love this channel....thats it, thats the comment. 😁

[@PeterMcKee-r2p]

Getting greyer Keith lol😂. Love the videos

[@lindacsmith13]

Baby Brown looks like he loves his climbing stool, great projects.

[@andrewgalbreath2101]

Love a good junk hunt. I've fixed up so many mismatched dining chairs from them lol

[@markdyballuk]

great projects Keith, particularly like the kindling box project which has given me an idea to make my own, kindling is very awkward to keep stored so many thanks for the idea.

[@THE-AIDEN-PROJECT]

I was waiting for baby brown to whip up a hello fresh meal 😁

[@RagnBoneBrown]

🤣👍

[@FullStackWoodworking]

I had a go at getting cheap funiture off FB marketplace to chop up for stock. Got a nice small Mahogany cupboard nearby, then a few times going to look at stuff which were listed as solid wood and ended up being cheap veneered chipboard. With the cost of fuel I gave up trying. Well done with your perseverance to get junk items though, the oak drawers look great.

[@adzgrim4679]

Great stuff!

[@topbird8466]

Quality cat content again, YESSS! That oak chest of drawers was an especially great find and you’ve really done it proud. Also, I have to show my appreciation of the sync of the jazz, especially the part testing the plywood bits for the drawers. I’ve been watching your channel for years and it’s really great to see both your woodworking skills and video production style evolve 🙌

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks!

[@thewoodjunki]

Great video.. well done fella 👌🪚

[@ice4142]

I made a kitchen helper for my children. It is now just a climbing frame in the kitchen. They are really testing how well I built it.

[@BrianLough]

Great video, all the stuff turned out great! For the helping stool for Baby Brown, the only comment I would have is the stability of it if its not pushed right up against a worktop (like it is in your picture) When B.B. gets a bit older and starts moving it around on their own, it has the risk of tipping forward as they reach forward for things if its not supported. When we made something similar out of an Ikea step stool, we added legs that stuck out at the front to stop it from being able to topple forward. But maybe yours is more solid than ours was, just something to look out for!

[@michaelwillson6847]

Fantastic job Keith they look amazing. Always good teach them young in kitchen 😁. Ps that looks like the new Rutlands table saw. I think it is. I have it and love it. Ps have you seen there take on the mirka sander looks amazing if they fancy sending it to you I'll test it for ya 😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

[@marcosduarte4694]

I realy enjoy Your Hunting junk. Amazing work! Rgds from Rio de Janeiro

[@funkypigfriday]

Lucky that you're not slovenly and common like I am, otherwise everytime you said junk 'unt you'd get demonetised!🤭Great work! Thanks!☺

[@MokuzaiDesign]

Three great projects although for a moment I did wonder what you were going to build with a ginger cat

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Cheers Nick! 👍

[@worstuserever]

Two medium cats are enough for a toddler-sized chariot.
