I love the fact you actualy show your mistakes rather than edit them out, shows you're an honest person, keep up the gret work!

[@dnngskn62]

Another winner Steve. As a matter of fact I made one of these about ten years ago. It lasted until last summer before I had to trash it. Now I want another one after seeing yours.

[@simpleman0831]

Made one of these for the wife. Used some weathered reclaimed wood other than pallet wood and turned out nicely. The wife loves it. Thanks Steve.

[@kenschinkel1499]

I built one of these this week and my wife loves it, so almost 30 other people on Facebook. I changed mine up a little. I was not able to use the slats from the pallet but it was made from re-cycled fence boards. I had fun making it. Please continue to make other projects like this for the yard.

[@dustygerlach7618]

I know this is an old video l am so glad l stumbled on it, a retired Novice here and this will be this weekends project. Steve keep up the great work l am learning a lot from all your videos

[@larryjacobs5713]

Great project Steve, thank you

[@SouthboundStudios]

of all the wood workers on youtube steve is by far my favorite. makes everything so simple and fun. hes actually the reason im into woodworking now. everything else was so intimidating.. Thanks steve!

[@sloeryd]

Thank you. Your videos are always appreciated.

[@angelamannes712]

Just made this as my first woodworking project!! Thank you so much for the guidance and plans!!

[@PlaneCrazyRCNut]

could you share your plans with me?

[@scottbionicnerf8727]

I like to use my jig saw, and drift from one side of the cut line to the other side or use a small circular saw and twist back and forth as I make the cut. It all adds to the Rusticyness(that's my word!) Great job on an inspiring pallet build..😎

[@dreamlookautodetailingauto3353]

Nice video ! Straight to the point & you explained so quick & easy. Very kind of you to include the building plans! I love building new things. Going to build this for sure! Hope to see more.👍😎

[@garyjerniganjr]

I made one of these for my moms birthday. Used new wood and changed a few details. She loved it. Thanks for the plans

[@scorpiohurley6786]

FINALLY !!! someone showing what to do with the damn 2x4 from pallets that are shaped like that.. if you only knew how many of those i have laying around!!! 🤣🤣

[@randomnobody2011]

Just found this video after searching for birdhouse ideas, and this wheelbarrow is going to be added to my list of handmade Christmas gifts this year! Just downloaded the plans. Thank you so much!

[@tommyschmidt9321]

I mainly am a wood turner and I make a lot of wood pens/bats, but this seems like a fantastic project that I could do for my mom's garden. Thank you for the idea, and I plan to do this as soon as I get my hands on a couple pallets. I'm sure my mom will thank you too!

[@engt1000]

I really enjoy your videos.Your creativity amazes me Steve. Great job.

[@hasdrubal121]

This is excellent Steve. I'm watching these videos with my daughter's. What my 7yr old like's is how you show your mistakes, and I think it's cool too. I'm working on a couple of corner units you showed how to do and I have to say that you're inspiring me to do small projects like this at home. On limited tools at the moment. Thanks for sharing and keep it up

[@lisaland1193]

I Think this would be great to make for my mother for Mothersday, Thanks Lisa

[@lawrencecusson4371]

Steve, honestly...I could watch you all day. Love the videos. You have some really good ideas and you have a great personality.

[@bmylesk]

This will be next on the list of "to do's" thanks Steve!

[@19hawk11]

Defiantly on the must make list.

[@MikeJones-vb1me]

Nice! thank you for all the great ideas and videos you take the time to make and share. I've made a few pallet projects before (planter boxes, a tall table, and a swinging chair thing) but today I rescued a 12' long pallet from our jobsite (held siding) that I can't wait to tear apart and start building with! Thanks again!

[@MrMarkpeggy]

I love your videos Steve. Thanks for your sharing and honesty!

[@robertkerby2581]

Another Amazing project, Well done!

[@thehonestkitchen4308]

I just finished making this today. The very first time I've done woodworking. It's not perfect, but it was a great learning experience. Thank you.

[@old-moose]

Great idea for up here in Canada. My wife likes to bring in her flowers at night in the spring to extend her growing season. She'll love them. (I'm planning on making 2.) Thanks.

[@artonmysleevearton5538]

I love how you didn't hide the mistake you made, and just put in the video as a fail. wicked video mate

[@CarmenSalamone]

looks great Steve, That would be a great garden addition. I'm building a cupola for my new shed right now so this will be my next project.

[@MrLeonard55]

Pretty nice piece of functional yard art.

[@skkfor]

Many thanks for the vid, Steve! I built one very similar and based upon your design and it turned out GREAT! I was lucky enough to score a steel wheel in a yard sale for a couple bucks for mine. Wife loves it and, well, you know how that goes.

[@frankorona1]

Another wonderful work for the garden, you have some very creative ideas and easy for newbies like me. Thanks for sharing your designs. We anxiously await the video of next week

[@hassanal-mosawi6049]

Thanks for showing how and sharing that, well done

[@craigrubin2305]

Love the wheelbarrow I'm going to try that.

[@craigrubin2305]

:-)

[@raulestrada5043]

Thanks Steve...Gotta try one !

[@tattedguy1111]

Dude you make it look so easy....

[@davidborch213]

great video Steve, the whole series is great to watch

[@pinktoolbeltdiva3202]

Very nice Steve... I love it!

[@mariojasso8100]

I enjoyed watching your videos give me lots of ideas

[@MikeWaldt]

Another great project Steve. In the UK we call them screws.......!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;) Take care Mike

[@markpayton71]

Loving the garden projects

[@redwood1957]

Oh boy my kind of project good job

[@victorlyford-pike6100]

Hi Steve, I recently built your rustic wheelbarrow , real easy, never used my tape maesure but I nearly fainted when I saw you using DRYWALL SCREWS!!, after all your reccomendations that those screws break...

[@kmsy200]

You are so smart and talented ,thanks for sharing

[@nomad8207]

Nice and easy project thanks buddy

[@scottydonttttttttttt]

Thanks for posting this video, Steve! I built this in a day, and it turned out great! I used a broken rake handle for the wheel axel. The planter itself is a decent size (enough to hold a flat of summer annuals). I agree not to bog yourself down with a project like this. My plants don't seem to mind that there are a few gaps and rough edges here and there!

[@iCraftWood]

An inspiration for rustic projects, da bomb Steve, keep up the awesome vids and projects....

[@digitalfun59]

I just love this project, great job.

[@WigWagWorkshop]

Another awesome project, I really like that you share your mistakes with us!

[@billskoros5547]

Looks like a great project!!!

[@matthewsericw]

Another awesome project.

[@michelleblair1848]

Awesome idea!! Your potting bench inspired me to tear apart some skids last week and make one. Thanks:)

[@johnnyking2965]

I like that one!

[@hassanbazzi3545]

It will be my next project. Thank you 🙏 for sharing

[@LBJHJP50]

[@xmode2]

I like your videos...you make everything looks so easy.....!

[@dmanmoka]

This series of videos is awesome! and your garden is looking really good.

[@jeliarra]

There are so many homes and businesses being remodel or built around me, you would not believe all the wood old, new and different types that is throw in the trash! They are happy to give the scrap wood away. My point, see a home going up stop by and play trash man/woman for them in the wood dept. Thank you roswalt1. I went with Bosch and DeWalt mid to low in price, amps etc.

[@chuculan1]

Hi there just a quick update, finished the wheelbarrow and have since made 5 more for others they love them thanks for the videos

[@FriedRiceGalore]

Man those dry wall nails seem like a great idea, I feel like people should use them more in life.

[@macsorro]

Great build!

[@matthopkins3340]

great vid steve, loads of inspiration for all levels of woodwork in all your vids.

[@pastypete1]

Just subscribed due to those drywall nails 😄 there awesome

[@Andreas-Fischer-1965]

cool idea, well done

[@ednalima5531]

Nice Project .... congratulations

[@NoahBarr85]

"Dry-wall nail" ... Nailed it.

[@bigdec1]

great idea

[@titan420]

As Lemongrab might say, "This wheelbarrow... is... ACCEPTABLE!!!" Just getting into Adventure Time, myself.

[@Maxid1]

I just remembered that about 20 years ago I made a 50 gallon fish tank cabinet stand out of oak pallets. I wish I had pictures of it. I used the forklift cutouts as part of the design feature. The handles on your planter reminded me of that. I had no idea when the home center palletized stuff and delivered it that they were charging me a $20 dollar deposit on the pallets! I was cutting them up for stuff and even burning them. Not any more.

[@viancarlos]

Saludos desde la Republica de Panamá, excelente video

[@symonf1966]

Nice one Steve.

[@IBeFatBeard]

I love that you post your failures too, now i don't have to feel like im the only one that goof's things up

[@cabman86]

A wheelbarrow for all the dwarfs in your life. I used to make these out of cedar fence pickets.

[@tonyc.9873]

Really like these esay to build projests. Gotta pick-up more pallets.

[@chuculan1]

Hi there I have just made one of these today i am waiting on the wheel to dry before i cut it and fit. thanks for the video

[@mehmetcandan5604]

Yaptıklarınızı ve muzip tavrınızı (dilinizi anlamasam da) zevkle izliyorum... Teşekkürler.

[@pabloalarroyo]

Good work, I'll be making one on the weekend

[@kingofrustic7610]

Great video, easy to follow and love how you show your mistakes, thanks for sparing the time to make it for us 👍

[@catonaruf]

Hey Steve! What about a kitchen junk drawer organizer that can be reconfigured every so often for future junk.?

[@hawanteejeewooth5085]

Cool bro thanks

[@bencurry5295]

Great job Steve :) Thanks man.

[@jhonroberts3748]

Thanks for the video steve....!!!!

[@elduro1422]

que belleza la verdad..felicitaciones Steve como siempre

[@JunkworksGarage]

i just got some free pallets and free metal siding that ime going to build a shed out of now i know what to do with the left overs thanks for the great vid searies of pallets

[@TheROBCARL]

Love your videos - Thanks!

[@jayenndoubleu]

great garage sale item!

[@Coyotebobber]

I looked at some of Craftsman power saws a couple of weeks ago and they were a dead ringer for a Ryobi. I purchased a Ryobi table saw from Sears Craftsman store about three years ago and it has done a good job. Not for job site or profressional work but DIY great. Need to keep good blade on it as well as any other saw. Good blade cost a little more but the results are more than the little cost.

[@wa4aos]

NOW YOU DID IT!!!! My wife watched me watching this video and NOW she JUST HAS TO HAVE ONE TOO!!!! GEESH There goes my free time today Cool project anyway..

[@Coxstation]

Nice Steve, tanks!

[@sloeryd]
