Pallet Wood Beer Tote #1

NOTE: I have removed most of my videos due to KZbin's changes to monetization. If you would like to see them, as well as new content help me get up to those 1000 subscribers. As a subsscriber, you'll get notified if it happens. :)
I made two Beer Totes out of Pallet Wood for my brother's 40th birthday. This video is on building one of them.
(the second one is here: • Pallet Wood Beer Tote #2 )
I built both totes at the same time and finished them at 3 am the very morning I was supposed to drive off to him. Phew.
Please note that I'm a complete newbie and don't know anything about...anything.

Very nice project! I started to make one with 6 bottles like you did....half way through the build I ended up with 6 empties and a brad nail through my little finger.... 😀 Cheers!

Rix MakerSpace Nice one! :) Thanks for watching! :)

[@joekusnier4774]

This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection kzbin.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.

[@JWAM]

Cladding? I'm not an expert in the terminilogy in English, but to me, that would be the exterior? Considering the video though and the condition of my garage.. On the inside I put a layer of OSB for screw support and ontop of that a layer of drywall to dampen sounds and add some fire-protection (sparks from grinding / spatter from welding). The OSB probably isn't necessary, though

[@NikofMaker]

good result, I like the bottle-opener on the side it is a good idea

[@JWAM]

Thanks, although that idea is not original. Just the, erm "design".. of the tote. Thanks for watching!

[@CrudeButEfficient]

Nice one! A board hot glued to a piece of OSB must be the most ghetto table saw jig I've ever seen! 😄

[@JWAM]

Ah yes! It's what I like to call "Crude But Efficient". I thought about using it as my name, but it was taken. :/

Very good idea and easy to implement.

[@justindaniel9367]

You can use the end of your belt sander to sand out the saw marks from the ban saw. Right where our wraps around would fit right in there.

[@JWAM]

[@summerhaag1898]

Rather than measuring it all out could you use a sheet of peg board to mark where the holes need to be?

[@JWAM]

I'm sorry, measure what exactly? As far as I remember there weren't much measuring going on... :)

You did a good job on the beer case, but I was just complementing the good music! lol

How wide are tool boxes?

[@JWAM]

The totes you mean? No idea. I took the bottles with the widest bottom and just marked where to cut the bottom ply

Beautiful, beautiful work, Sir! I love it! You still don't have that shop set up? Get to work over there! Where you working by moonlight in some parts or were the dark scenes just your camera choosing bad auto settings?

[@JWAM]

Thanks friend! Nope, been a bit lazy with the shop. It's very annoying putting insulation and sheeting on the walls when there's so much crap along the walls that have no place to go. But yes, it's about time to get back to it! The lighting.. Pretty much moonlight considering the hours and location..There's only a single "construction site 'floodlight'" which is stuck where it is (beside the table saw). If I disconnect it, it's pitch black in there and making it hard to move... Bandsaw is on the other side of the garage.

[@AlfFisher]

+ JWAM Oh, how I do all familiar %). Very often there is no time to clean up the studio, so shoot the video so that the trash does not enter the picture :)))).

[@JWAM]

Yes, after I'm unable to blame that the garage is unfinished, it will still probably be a mess. :)

[@AlfFisher]

+JWAM We call it "creative disorder" :)

[@thelordship3120]

Beautiful design, and i really like the bottleopener on the side. But it looks funny with the handle on the handle. Any particular reason for that ?

[@JWAM]

Thanks for watching! Yes, all totes that I've seen have been very high,which seem to be both a bit hard to store, and maybe even block the view across the table. The wood part is not supposed to be a handle, it's so low that it's at the height of the necks of the bottles so tou can't get tour fingers under it. It works as a support beam to hold the sides together and be something to attach the handle to. My original idea was to have the beam even lower, and then have an "ingenious" handle that you could fish out from the beam so that the handle would never be in the way when the thing wasn't carried. Anyway, I couldn't think of the right material/design for it for the little time I had. The current design still looks quite compact for as far as totes go. And weird if you'd look at the beam as an handle. :D

It waan't as much of a workshop as it is a garage used for storage, except there were no shelves so everything was on the floor. :) It's a lot better now but not perfect.

[@davidfagerberg9283]

snyggt! Skulle du rekommendera planhyveln du äger? har funderat på den länge men är "märkesbög" och det lutar alltid åt det dyra och säkra alternativet! :)

[@JWAM]

Tackar, gode man! De där två Beer totes:en är ungefär det jag har använt den till hittills, och har ingen annan att jämföra med. Köpte den för att tidigare köpare verkar ha varit nöjda (till skillnad från den där kombinerade rikt- och planhyveln). Verkar göra sitt jobb. "Cotech" är väl inte det första jag skulle välja vad gäller verktyg. :) Men jag har börjat försöka se igenom märkesgrejen och köpa sånt som ger mest för pengarna. Köp cotech sladdlösa limpistol med. Kostar inget och kör smältlim till någonting som faktiskt går att använda.

[@Lazywatchsmith]

subscribed! kylläpä puhut hyvää englantia. varmasti tilaajaia tulee nopeasti.

[@JWAM]

Se on kai vain semmoista ruotsalaisenglantia. :) Pitäisi kyllä katsella jos jostainpäin voisi saada vähän rahaa takaisin tähän hupihommaan jotta vaimokin tämän ajan jotenkin hyväksyisi. :)

[@Lazywatchsmith]

Tuleehan sitä rahaa kun saat lisää tilaajia. Niin ja muistat kaupallistaa videot sekä aktivoida sen adsense-tilin. Mutta sitä englantia sinun kannattaisi mielestäni puhua kaikissa videoissa. Samalla saat hieman lyhennettyä videoita. Ihmiset kun keskimäärin jaksavat katsella noin 3 minuuttia. Jään odottelemaan seuraavaa tuotostasi.

[@JWAM]

Jep, kaupallistettu on. $0.57 tienattu! Lähden tässä huomenna kauppaan ostamaan ruuvin. :) Tiedän että nämä videot ovat aivan liian pitkiä.. Olen ainakin nyt saanut enemmän vauhtia niihin että kiinnostus pysyisi vähän paremmin. Pitää vaan uskaltaa heittää osa pois. Tuosta puhumisesta en oikein tiedä.. En sitä (omaa siis) edes itse viitsi kuunnella. Sen verran Kimiräikkösmäisen eloton homma se on..

[@Lazywatchsmith]

JWAM Haha. Oli siinä ensimmäisessä olut-telinevideossa ainakin eloa. Kyllä niin hyvää englantia puhut että edelleen suosittelen jatkamaan sillä linjalla. Minäkin puhuisin jos olisin rohkeampi.

[@JWAM]

Lazy watchsmith Jos se rohkeudesta on kiinni niin kyllä se sillon on aika alkaa englantia sönköttämään. Se haittaa vaan itseä jos ei viitsi tai uskalla sanoa mitä on sanottavissa (en ole itsekään puhujatyyppi noin kun pitää jotenkin väkisin saada jotain nauhalle, mutta menkööt). Pienellä tuurilla siitä tulisi ehkä jopa jotain tekemistä omaan maan trolleille. "Aa ju pilding tö tsää aut of pället vud?" :) Meanwhile, the rest of the world is soaking in the content...

Hello! What you saw? 8:35

[@JWAM]

- SiGi - I'm not sure if I understood, so I'll answer every version I can think that you might have asked :D. It's an old crappy bandsaw where the table is extremely unstable. Thumbs up were irony. I'm sawing slots for the side pieces.

[@cardonah]

all that safety gear and you still manage to cut your thumb? Kein Anschluss unter dieser Nummer :)

[@JWAM]

hector cardona What thumb? (haha, that's a good joke in itself). Can't remember cutting myself in any of my projects. Only stupid things in the kitchen as far as I can remember :)

[@victormeldroo]

the add on handle realy spoils this tote, why did you go that way and aswell i can see when you grab it by that you likely will catch your fingers on the bottle caps maybe cutting your fingers, it was fine without it. simple rustic, why try and tart it up to a piece of ikea. my mind is baffled ???????

[@JWAM]

victormeldroo Hi! First, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. :) The reason is that I wanted to make a tote that had a lower profile than the usual tote that people build (see my "beer tote #2" to see what I mean). So that it can be on a table without obstructing the view to your fellow drinker. If I remember correctly, my original plan was to have somekind of a rope-based handle (with some faux-leather wrapped around it) that went through that "bar". so when you let go, the handle would drop down onto the bar. I had both very little time to finish it and too afraid to go the handle route as I have never done such work, nor had I really done any woodworking at that point. That being said, I quite like the handle and the form factor of it. It sure is "different" and apparently provokes feelings in both ways. That's the way I like it. Bland is too bland for my taste :)

+noctanol Thanks for the feedback! I'm however not in it for the subscribers, but for the fun (just like with life itself). The silliness comes and goes with the mood (childishness is to me something completely different (whining, not taking responsibility of your own actions, egoism, playing an adult... )). That being said, I suggest you visit 'finncrafted' if you haven't already. Serious videos, better projects and an all-round better channel. :) The fact that you attempted to like my channel but failed gave me a chuckle in itself. :D
