Taking PalletWood to the next Level

I have made a large TV cabinet with palletwood and ply, however I have made a disastrous error, which I somehow need to fix? Can I make it happen.... ooh the suspense lol

You have come so far Dainer! Always an inspiration. I still spend almost as much time fixing my mistakes as basic build, nice to know that even someone who has progressed so far beyond my efforts still gets faced with coming up with a brilliant recovery from such little disasters. I figure it is your willingness to take a quantum leap into new territory with the confidence that you can overcome obstacles is what impresses us newbies, and has made your progress so major. It is said that making things go right is the real test of a human being. Congratulations on doing just that.

[@Hat6000]

I loooove what you did to "fix" the one side! Genius. The measure of a true craftsman is that your mistakes turn into even cooler parts of the piece! well done!

Those cracks at the bend! Tell me about it. Nothing is more frustrating than to reach tbat 90%of the project and to encounter that. Good recovery from that. And cool looking tv cabinet Mark 👍😁

What a comeback from a Fluff up Mark, Looks great

Hahahahha....loved the dodgy bros 1000 square mate 😂 Watching you bend that sheet was nerve racking....l had to go and make a cup of tea! Gotta say....it was a great recovery and yes hang your balls out and ask for the 2300....actually, ask for 2400....that way when you get bargained down to to 2300 you'll be wrapped.

[@maxfarr4142]

Hey Dainer. You need to value your time. 75 makes sense, but you should break it down so people know what that means: 25 for the ametuer, 25 for the experience and 25 for the tool and space upkeep. Or however you slice it. Point is, youre not overselling yourself, youre actually undervaluing or appropriately valuing your time. Time can only be spent once, make it count! Love your work buddy. (❤❤ from down under,NZ!)

[@cameronschmelitschek9485]

$2.3k is way too low for a genuine custom piece. But what has probably reduced the very high value is the form-ply bones. Next time use fancy birch or hardwood ply. Adding $200 to the ply cost may add $1k+ to the sale price?

[@SenselessUsername]

I'd be really annoyed at the "Non-structural" diagonal print on the black side of the drawers. I really like the black, but it should be uniform. Maybe powdercoat them at a car/wheels shop before assembly? Should come to not much if you have a friendly shop nearby, and if you can wait until they anyway do black *or another colour that you like* so there's zero setup costs to them.

[@shaunkirby8506]

Don’t know about Australia but everywhere else birch ply won’t add 200 for 3 sheets itl add 4-5 times that I’d think £250 a sheet in England at the min

[@saxonbarrington9894]

Buy it then

[@woodfather]

Nice recovery mate. I might have gone the other way myself, by losing the symmetrical look and telling clients the cabinet is supposed to butt up against a corner wall. Flat side to the wall on the right, curvey-curved side on display on the left. But I'm lazy. 😆

G'Day Dainer! I love the honesty and humor you put in your videos, and I learn something! A few suggestions to try to alieviate your dispise for drawers: 1. THISisCarpentry ° Quarter- Quarter- Quarter drawers 2. Andrew Klein ° new invention - easiest drawers ever 3. The Woodpecker ° use your dovetail router bit & metal jig to cut slave tales 4. Matt Cremona ° machine cut + hands it dovetails 5. Rob Cosman ° hand cut dovetails 6. drawer lock router bit Best ending to a KZbin video I have seen!

[@jukansukiteza702]

Very well done 👍.. nice recovery, it came out beautiful.. you are my favorite woodworker on KZbin .. great job brother

[@2byforge]

I feel your pain in this video. Especially the hour cost analysis. As a knifemaker, if I was to put each hour that goes into making a knife into the cost they would start to run into the $1,000s as a sale price. And while I think that any hand made piece is always worth so much more, the truth is the majority of the buyers are so used to this throwaway culture of buying cheaply made things that it is hard. All I can say is know your worth and price accordingly

[@karlpopewoodcraft]

Staying cool under pressure when things don't go totally to plan is a great skill to have, well recovered mate and I think it's worth every penny however is someone somewhere out there willing to pay that. Only time will tell but I'd put my money on it selling very soon. I've had my latest video on pause for about 4 weeks now just for the very same reason could I sell a random custom peice I've made? Well we will see very soon. Great watch to top it off mate !🙂

Painstaking? Painstaking Mark? On my 7th pallet I whacked the bugger on the floor, a piece flipped up and gave me a black eye the day before I drove down to Spain from Germany! I am sure people thought I was in the Illuminati. From now on I wear goggles. Harvested pallet 8 today and got 5 boards, the rest will heat my home! Thank you Mark! I can't wait to get started once I buy my router/saw this summer.

This is a lesson in needing to try new techniques with scrap pieces before tackling the final project. OMG, this is hard to watch and I really like your channel.

[@vmoutsop]

@@dainermade The final product is more of a proof of concept and not a final product. It was hard to watch because you’re so enthusiastic and passionate about your projects, which I love, but this time (JMO) the final product does not appear up to be as finished and up to the standard of your other projects.

Great vid Mark! I loved your idea in the recovery phase. We have all been there, but don't always come out with such a nice outcome. Well done for persisting (and sharing!!!!)

Beautiful wood tones, fascinating geometry and curves, excellent save, and a great video. What's not to like!?

[@ArchEdge]

Hi Mark - Great video. Love watching fellow Aussies. I think the $2300 is spot on, as you are appealing to the buyer who wants custom recycled furniture. As you mentioned below - a good clean-up, and paint/line the inside of the drawers/doors so its got a good finish when you look inside, and its there... $2500, with $200 bargaining... 😉

[@MurrayBarton]

Nice work. FWIW the family vote here was high 2000's to low 3000's. Good luck with it!

Well worked through my my friend. One would say craftsman like material. I've wanted to have a crack at curf bending for a while. Maybe what the market for bendy pens is 🤔 Mr squiggle

Having taught Design Technology (Wood, metal and plastics) the best and most memorable projects I helped kids on were the ones that when something went wrong the students were willing to re-engage with the process and get it working in an often new and interesting direction. We made some interesting furniture over the years. That being said I love this especially solution to the otherside, it gives that lightness that the table needs.

Love the bending mate. So close to steam bending haha. With the kerfs there’s online calculators which tell you the exact cuts you need to make to bend the wood. And wetting the outside bend with warm water helps to soften the grain during the bend glue up as well

What you do is amazing. I love the idea of reworking pallet wood into new things. I'm a student in Norway and I don't have the space or money for big woodworking machines and I was wondering if you think it would be doable to make knife-handles and other small hand-carved things by processing pallet wood just by hand with a circular saw and a sander?

Hey, Dainer! using a bend kerf calculator and a 1mm ball end mill this work ends too easily. Did you try this? thaks for all your tips and tricks!

[@Toyotajunkie]

I think that would be a fair, but lower price. Take into consideration that most of the stock was free/low cost and the "suggested retail price" is good. To me, my time is the most valuable part. Then how detailed the piece is, with a very close third for materials. It's a really neat piece that I am sure someone would love to own! I wish you luck with whatever price you decide on.

[@wmoimgarazu]

Hello there 👋

[@baddogcreative]

Really like this build! The detail is amazing! $2300 is not unreasonable. I think you could charge an even $3k for this one - or close to it. The right person will pay it!!

[@Mauricio_Ferrari]

Hey Mark I think you manage to achieve a great outcome. Maybe due to still learning if it was me I would have given up or leave and start over. You got me curious how you come up with a solution and then you made me think how that's my daily work (come up with a solution). No idea about the price however it has to be somewhere there interested in something unique :). Good job!.

[@michaelgrider1025]

Do you let the pallets dryout before gluing them up, and if so, how long on average?

[@alanhorne5911]

nice job mate, with bending solid wood try hot water and soak the wood, not steam. ply may de laminate.

[@lulunz6809]

Wow!

[@nalixl]

Dude, i can relate to how you feel so much. I totally can appreciate the amount of time and effort you put in this one. Believe me, i'm still a long way form where you are at right now. However if i were in your shoes, i'd sell it anonymously for whatever you can get for it and write it off as a learning project. If you are going for that grade of furniture, you're doing fine but you're not quite there yet in my opinion. Don't start complicating things the moment you're making a business out of your hobby.The drawers don't entirely align, the edge doesn't align at the connection between the straight and the bended piece, and the surface (as seen at 17:24) is full of dents and dinghies (you put dowels in there to repair?). At the right side, you can still see the cracks from the first bending attempt and the end of the video left me wondering, did you leave the inside of the cabinets unfinished? For example, did you put black veneer on the sides of the plywood to match the factory coated sides? Don't start complicating things the moment you're making a business out of your hobby. You did just fine before.

That Im in Europe I can’t say how much you should charge but if I look at what Jesper and Morley Curt’s prices are I would say your price is going in the right direction. At the end of the day it’s a “one off” so that would be my thought in charging,,,, it certainly is super even though you had difficulties but that’s the part of design, over coming them and solving them.

[@misterflynn01]

What do you use for design software/CAD?

[@berrymand71]

I'm a novice wood worker with multiple projects in the works but no sales yet... So my advice may not be worth much. I'd say list it at the $75 per hour value but be willing to drop down to a minimum you preset in your mind. Maybe calculate a minimum at $50 per hour which is still good money for doing something you enjoy. These dollar amounts obviously depend on how much you you can make per hour doing other things.
