DIY Concealed Joist Hangers - Pallet House Build

[@SteepintheWoods]

ANGLE GRINDER: amzn.to/4a78WLB DRILL: amzn.to/4abFlQS WIRE WHEEL: amzn.to/3IB4DMM We are turning trash into treasure! Or building supplies that is. We are building a tiny house out of pallets and need joist hangers, but they are too expensive for our small budget. So instead, we decided to Make our Own Concealed Joist Ties out of scrap, salvaged angle iron. These will be about 2 1/2 mm thick! Extra strong and almost free. #steepinthewoods #diy #trashtotreasure Pallet House Playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLV4FMljAnPaMTCNUAj1E_g6tkOPN8YIdh Website: www.steepinthewoods.com/ *SPRING KITS NOW FOR SALE* Donate through paypal: www.paypal.me/SteepInTheWoods Buy T Shirts: teespring.com/stores/my-store-10061584 Become a Member kzbin.info/door/Z_OUIxS6UyIe4uOP6NabpQjoin Our Amazon Storefront: www.amazon.com/shop/steepinthewoods Amazon Wishlist: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/22G319KHMP2NN?ref_=wl_share Or hit the like & subscribe button! **DISCLAIMER** This video and description contains affiliate links, which means that if you click on one of the product links, I’ll receive a small commission.

SAS! Yes, we do have sassafras trees on the property. This upcoming year we're going to try and add quite a few products to the website We still have some more research to do on the legalities of certain things.. But if at all possible I'd love to share my passion of herbology with you guys. And offer what we can on the website. Not just limited to dry products but also seeds and live plants if possible.

[@SteepintheWoods]

I will do my best to add that to the website this summer! I still haven't looked up the legalities of everything, but I do know if nothing else, I can cut you some fresh pieces and sell them as "root cuttings" at that point whether or not you plant them or dry them out once you have them is your own affair. And if you think of anything else be sure to let me know!

[@angel_spring]

You are amazingly helpful, and I'm so grateful you shared this build. You are the only person on KZbin I've come across that legitimately figures things out, uses what is available, AND actually explains what you're doing. Thank you so much.

[@neonathomahill4460]

Yay new family members!! welcome aboard! WTG Josh, making something outa nuttin. use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without. can't wait for the next part of the build

[@SteepintheWoods]

Yes! A big big welcome to the new ROOTS!! Our family is slowly but surely continuing to grow!

[@curbshoppin]

I’ve always wanted a pallet tiny home tower fort. 😀

[@SteepintheWoods]

Well, do me a favor and either get pallets made of pine, or by yourself a palm nailer first lol!!

[@SettoHexxo]

This is the third video of yours that I am watching and in each one I seem to be learning something new. I just watched the first minute and fourty seconds and I like what you said about rusty things. How being rusty "means nothing". I like the concept of removing the rust and making things rust proof so you can still use them.

[@danielleterry2331]

Very informative thank you, love your ingenuity, collecting pallets to get my 10x15 sheshed built , my cheap Chinese one well my foot fell thru the floor 🤨 loved how you jumped up and down on yours and it held fast. My funds are just not there either but boss giving me free pallets so collecting them and going to get er done.

[@mynameismud1776]

Still checking city codes in my area, but as far as I know I can build a living or storage area with no permit as long as it's under 200 square feet and not more than 15 feet tall. I'm loving this tower, I've got an idea about a central staircase going to the actual structure of 12 x 16 surrounded by a wrap around balcony, which is not considered with square feet. My problem will begin with electrical, however I'm looking at complete solar for lighting and probably a modified coil for hot water. This is my first pallet structure and you have done wonders for me by making this. Thank you!

[@SteepintheWoods]

You are welcome! In most places you can build a small house without a permit provided it's on runners, (6x6's or similar) However you are correct about the electrical! When we sold our last tiny house the realtor strongly advised us to stop installing wiring and leave it as is. However that doesn't mean you can't have wiring I would just keep it as simple as possible versus trying to do it like everyone else does.

[@VTK72]

Amazing ❤❤❤

[@stellaunger8568]

I think your channel is fabulous. I like Sams channel too - the difference between you brothers is something to see but obviously you learned similar skills just different approach. Best wishes 😁❤️🌹

[@SteepintheWoods]

Haha if you can see similarities between the two of us you are indeed a special person!

[@JasonLancaster]

Freaking awesome!

[@revgeorgesionetuato5301]

I'm learning a lot many thanks.

[@michelewhitewolf9856]

Great build, there's always some kind of work around to do a job correctly for your situation. Wolfmama

[@SteepintheWoods]

That is correct! As I try to teach my children, being creative is one of the most useful tools you can have!

[@JerryHall-d8l]

That tailgate has seen some work in it's day , huh

[@SettoHexxo]

I don't know if you're a gamer at all but you look like you could be a blacksmith on Skyrim. It's awesome!

[@nickmarkis]

My house was built in the 40s it has has a lip supporting each joist with no metal hangers like you made in this video just your X type of cross members using 1x6 between each joist every 6ft or so still holding strong for a old house

[@SteepintheWoods]

That's crazy! I'll be doing almost the exact same thing. Underneath of our second level joists I'm going to attach a piece of pallet board. Not only will that help increase the strength but more importantly, it will help disguise the fact that there's a store-bought 2x6 in our construction LOL Whenever possible I go for 'Overkill'! - Once done it'll have both brackets and a supporting lip.

[@nickmarkis]

@SteepintheWoods I like ur build videos I like the fact your getting the same if not better results of doing thangs a fraction of the cost like my self I used these very strong 4ft by 8ft drywall pallets to make a roof with screwed down 1/2 plywood on top then I put billboard sign vinyl over it like a tarp and fastened the sides down with simple screws and washers for a 7ft by 24ft firewood hut/shed

[@davymcmenamin]

I have a container i need to fix up, its sat on the ground (was here before we aquired the property) and the floor is rotting out. Problem is its full. I have space and access to pallets. Over the summer i'll fix up a shed i have already and ill build a temporary shed out of pallets. Have picked up a lot of tips from these videos, thank you kindly.

[@paulsisco7595]

Awesome job looking good i am always repurposing all kinds of things just got tru making a little trailer out of a old square water tank ,its not perfect but it works ,yall be safe

[@SteepintheWoods]

Nice! I've got my eyes peeled for a small trailer as well! Something I can use to move gravel around our property. I know one of your other comments you mentioned old ammo cans! I could do with a few more of those as well LOL

[@bengtlarsson1243]

Another interesting video 🙂 Is there a special reason why you put the angle iron inwards to hide behind the beam and not to the outside of the corner so you can se both edges in the corner? just curious. A god tip to get more iron for free is if you have a snowmobile dealer nearby they always get the machines in steel cages made by angle iron square tubing and rectangular tubing of different sizes and of good quality, i got alot of them for free. Made me a good pair of garage door with metal frame of it strong ligth and cheap construction. Did see a video of a guy that was insulating his walls with grinded styrofoam packing material, he grinded it with an electric lawnmower turned upside down blowed it in sacs poured and packed it in the walls. Styrofoam has good insulation capacity, its not fireproof but if you put plasterboard on the inside of the wall that should not be a problem. He built a garage with double layer of pallets bottom to inside in the wall wood panel on outside osb and plasterboard on inside of wall. We do still have plenty of winter but sun is starting to warm up and the snow is melting away. If your interested in some fun motoring with cars rockets and other cool stuff check out Speed weekend in Arsunda Sweden i was there with my 1965 Galaxie convertible (blue and white) racing on the ice it was good fun. Keep up your interesting tower build looking forward to the next video. 🙂

[@bengtlarsson1243]

Dont forget to use earprotection when using an angle grinder, going deaf in your fifties is not fun. (guess how i know)

[@lesliesmith7294]

Nice work

[@SteepintheWoods]

I appreciate that! - Especially coming from a new ROOT!!

[@kenbaker1353]

Just wondering your homemadebrackets you made should they not have been placed the other way so that there was no chance of the board slipping through the bottom of the two brackets on each end not an expert so could be wrong

[@sporter7249]

Wow, I don’t have a construction background at all and I wondered about bed frames. Then I thought naw, that’s too easy. First mind don’t lie,lol. They are usually in abundance at thrift stores.

[@SteepintheWoods]

"first mind" - Like it!

[@Yugemos]

It's illegal to use bed frames for anything other than framing beds... Tell everyone you know, so I can have all the bed frames for myself.

[@mittenthaleric]

Cool deal, I’ve never seen anyone pre drill for nails?

[@SteepintheWoods]

Usually you don't need to pre-drill holes. However I split the difference, I put twice as many nails as the board would usually accept without damage for the extra holding power.. And to make up for that I pre-drilled the holes and therefore reduce the stress on the board itself.

[@piddy3825]

does Harbor Freight have a wish list...

[@SteepintheWoods]

Haha! I wish they did! Actually, I wish eBay did even more. But right now it's just Amazon unfortunately.. Unless you find something I haven't seen!

[@kuehnel16]

Kids will be graduating by the time you get this built

[@SteepintheWoods]

Haha!... - You have no clue!

[@PrivateAttorneyGeneral-rb7lc]

Why didn't you drill the holes before cutting pieces? It seems to me to be quicker and less effort to prepare...

[@ThorD4602]

Joist hanger needs a bottom, especially if you aren't shear nailing. Good idea, but not a safe hanger

[@reannejarvis9464]

Rock n roll 🇦🇺🎸⚡️🤘🏿🤘🏼💋❤️

[@shortbospirit]

Be aware that bed frames are extremely difficult to drill holes in

[@jreeder6168]

If heights is a problem now, wait until you get old. lol

[@tenminutetokyo2643]

That sound was the dreaded Bigfoot tree whack. It probably heard you pounding metal.

[@julieb9215]

“I hate heights” but yes I’m building a pallet tower home. 😂

[@danielleterry2331]

You go girl!! I am collecting free pallets from work, going to do the same but not 2 story at my age I am not doing stairs lol

[@mikeyjohnson1696]

2nd video of urs Iv watched. Iv been building houses for like 20 years. I have all sorts of shit I’ll send ya. I have 500+ hangers

[@SteepintheWoods]

Welcome to the journey!! Unfortunately we got rid of our po box.. We didn't get all that much use out of it, and the price kept going up!

[@alliewolf71]

❤😊❤😊❤😊

[@jeaubeau]

Gunshot.. wasn't a board made that sound

[@watcherofwatchers]

It's angle iron, not right-angle iron, unfortunately!
