Now that turned out great mate, that nice authentic HUON PINE, from the little island of Tasmania that I have had for 25 years….. was the icing on the cake. Did you burn the live edge? Cheers ⚓️🫡🇦🇺

You probably don’t realise how much this cabinet now means to mate mate 🫡 I gave the edge a very light sand and just rubbed wax on. Hey presto 🙏

[@jos25582]

Hello from Montreal Canada. Every time you speak of woodworking and pallets I feel the exact same. Seeing trashy free wood become something beautiful is truly satisfying. Makes you feel good... on the inside!

[@dainermade]

Cheers mate, well you know I agree haha

[@NoLumberLeftBehind]

Haters gonna hate, no matter what you make. I have never used a pallet but obviously enjoy the methods, humor, and projects. Your no waste attitude is the way to be. The sliding door cabinet is really cool project.

[@dainermade]

Cheers mate, appreciate and glad you tune in as always

[@fishhuntadventure]

I did one two-drawer table with just one giant pallet. My work isn’t a ‘hobby’ and I tracked my time. So two things turned out: First, the money I ‘saved’ on ‘free’ lumber took me enough time that when converted to dollars I could have bought clean, fresh lumber for a mere $25- or $30 more. Well worth my time. Second, it turns out that after vacuuming, wire brushing, sanding, then vacuuming again that my $225 glue-joint obviously lost its razor sharp edge within a few cuts. So overall it cost me about $60 extra to use suboptimal wood. Not going to do that again!!!!

[@dougdavidson175]

Thanks for what you do and post Mark. I started with wall shelves and moved on to shoe racks, a plate rack, pirate chest (with a coopered top). So far, the last project was a bathroom sink vanity. You have been a big influencer in my hobby. Carry on M8. Take care & stay safe.

Thank you for making me feel, "normal." I just recently started my woodworking journey, and all I can swing, right now is pallet wood. You're 100 % correct that it's WAY too easy to let the sensationalized elitism of some social media presences, make you feel bad or "less than" by using pallets. But I've already tapped into something new, in my heart, with woodworking, and I truly appreciate your positivity and words of encouragement. Thank you, again.

[@dainermade]

That is nice to hear mate, enjoy

[@royster3345]

Did just that, I got started...! Collected pallets, started to break them down, it's tough at first as each new step is just that, new, never done by you before. Pallet buster makes it so much easier, and while I had a table saw, the thicknesser was a welcome birthday present. Latest addition was a cyclone dust extractor I made, and I'm into the first hall table. I have other things in my head to make, and I see new projects in every day settings. But the focus it to make and sell, aim to cover my costs, then carry on. Thanks for the motivation 👍

[@dainermade]

That is the best way mate, make things sell things, upgrade, learn. repeat

[@creatd]

Just about everything I've learned about woodworking I've learned using pallet wood and I have always given exactly zero f's what others think. I have a productive shop now filled with benches, cabinets, drawers, jigs and just about anything you can think of all made of free pallet wood. It has been all free and taught me so much. I would advise anyone to get into pallet wood even if to get a new perspective on it.

[@dainermade]

That’s is cool to hear! Thanks mate

[@leslieapplegate65]

I get all the free pallets I could ever want from my work. Some of it is trash but a lot of it is really pretty. The guys have started saving the pretty ones for me!! Love your builds!!

[@KithirusCreates]

Hey Mark I just want to say thank you, between you and Jasper i have learned soooo much and am taking the first step in just getting started. I've already started collecting and breaking down pallets. I have watched just about all of your videos and many of which i have watched over and over again. I love all the work you do with pallets and i honestly love seeing you mess up on projects. It helped me realized how its okay to mess up on projects and has helped me realize that i can work on my own projects as well. I just glued up my first small slab this weekend about 1 3/4" thick. Need to make a few adjustments but it was very satisfying to do. So thank you for everything you do and hopefully here soon ill be starting a channel as well showing off some of the unique ideas i have for pallet projects.

[@dainermade]

to easy mate, that all sounds very exciting. enjoy

[@darodes]

Pallet wood was my entry into woodworking. It was a low cost way of figuring out if I even liked the hobby…. The more I realized I loved it, the more money I invested into things!

[@dainermade]

That is it hey. great way to start, it is the gateway drug lol

[@Bristoll170]

No better way to start a Monday than watching your latest production 👍. This usually is followed by reviewing some earlier creations which, like many others, just got me started. Taking early retirement (61) was the best thing I’ve ever done. Second only to the new woodwork addiction 😁. Thanks for your motivational content mixed with excellent humor. Cheers Pete' New Zealand.

Hey Pete, too easy mate. Enjoy the retirement days

[@csipe5]

First time comment: I've been watching your video's for a while now all the way from the US. I've really enjoyed your stuff because you not like the rest of the woodworking YT'ers. Your content is so relatable and entertaining. Keep it up sir!

[@chrisflavelle1200]

Marvelous piece, Mark! Having the end trays in the "top", allows you to use it in either configuration. Some will like the live edge as the bottom, and some will like the live edge as the top. always give the people options. I know it's for your personal use, but now you have the option to change the look and still have the function! Keep on "Doing You" and let the haters take a long walk off a short pier(jetty)!

[@MCDouga11]

Stumbled on your videos about a month ago mate. No idea how they came up, I've never done wood working in my life. Have been looking for a hobby other than video games and thought I'd just get started. I built my work bench out of pallets, then on to a mallet, hot wheels track for the lad, and now I'm making my second bench for the thickneser i just purchased. It's been such an amazing adventure so far, and i'm learning something new every day. and fuck me it really does, feel good in here.

[@dainermade]

No looking back mate, it really is the best. enjoy

[@woodworkingandepoxy643]

Just found a local warehouse giving away thousands of pallets every day. I haven't bought wood in weeks lol

Ive been saving pallets for years using them only sparingly while trying to find direction on how to utilize them to the best. Your videos have been truly inspiring for me. Ive made a few pieces over the years but have always felt over my head. I always seem to over complicate things, your videos bring me back down to the simplification of it all. I love your videos mate!!!!

I have been building my new shop and getting tools to replace and am almost ready to get back to it! Thanks for all you do! That is true I have heard over the years putting people down for not having certain tool or a small shop or they use the "wrong joinery". I have always told them to do them, to just do something and learn from everything!

[@HeliRy]

I just got started! Had a jobsite saw in my shop for a year and fired it up a few times, but it always scared the hell out of me. A few rookie mistake kickback incidents didn’t help. Wasn’t hurt though, just shit myself. Yesterday I faced my fear and got cracking making a house for the feral cats that live on our property. Biggest hurdle is not having a jointer. So I fabbed one up using a miter slot on the table saw. And holy shit it’s the best thing ever! Just turning wonky pallet wood into squared off, straight pieces… it’s damned near orgasmic!

Kitchen cabinets are on the list and intimidating to get to, however your content has made me realize how many amazing items can be made from pallet wood. This has gotten me into breaking down pallets and starting to practice with the wood. I never knew it would be as easy as it is. I'm going to build a lot of pallet projects into my house. I may even start a youtube channel of my projects.

Another enjoyable and informative video, Mark. I especially enjoy #10, the problem solving. I try to remember it when I a project frustrates me. By the way, my Mrs. is coming around to the palletwood aesthetic. She'd been skeptical for a while but after I made a computer monitor shelf for my desk, a shoe storage/bench for the mud room and a raised dog bowl holder, she actually requested a window table for her indoor herb garden. Anyway, thanks as usual for the great content and keep well.

One of the first videos I saw was Jasper Makes, which after a few videos led me to you. I started woodworking about 8 to 9 months ago and it was the two of you that made me start my whole woodworking journey using pallet wood. Thank you for showing me an easy way to get wood without paying for it, if it wasn't for that tidbit of information I wouldn't have been able to build the things I have due to the lack of funds to buy wood. I do however, use a mixture of pallet wood and store bought wood for my projects but it's nice to know that if I don't have the money to buy it then I can still create with pallet wood that I might not be able to purchase. Like you said, you do you! I also hope to be on KZbin soon! I still have to figure out how to get good sound and I can't use my phone because it's full and would take days if not weeks to clear off to use, maybe eventually. I'm also waiting on a laptop that's being given to me but I'm so close to being online! You guys are amazing and I just wanted to say thank you for showing me a viable way to keep doing what I love!

Followed! It was cool to see someone else on a similar journey of pallet wood discovery and ignoring all the noise from the negative head waggers and lip flappers. i started finding free broken furniture and repairing them and adding pallet wood i processed. it helped my physical and mental health and it did great things for my bank account lol.

Small tip. Could be helpful if it suits you. When using the pneumatic denailer (I use the same one you have) I use a bucket to catch nails too and I find it useful to have it partially filled with water so the nails don't hit the other nails or debris and bounce back out. Water slows the down enough to stay in the bucket.

Love your work mate, I'd love to see you do a comparison video of a pallet wood Vs store bought wood build, exact project with a price Vs time and finished product

I love everything about your work. While I don't use pallets often, I do try and make as much as I can from recycled timber for all the same reasons. Broken furniture, stuff in council cleanups, so on. You know those stakes councils use to support tree saplings along the side of the road? When the tree grows and no longer needs the stake, you think the council comes around and collects them? Of course not. The stakes end up on the footpath or in the street. So I collect them. Made a side table for my living room earlier this year out of garden stakes. And think about that; a tree grows up, is cut down with sole the destiny to become support for other trees. But before it ends up in the tip or rotting in the gutter, I step in and give it one last purpose, which is a place of honour as furniture in my house for the rest of my life.

looks GREAT and the change at the end Blows it away ☺☺☺. But I didn't expect anything else

you have great ideas and up cycling, I've made picture frames and watch boxes from pallet wood myself, and the effort is satisfying I've had luck in finding redwood. I love your attitude.
