The store down the street from me has a few hundred pallets stacked in the back for their suppliers to pick up. I asked an employee about them and he said you can buy them at the customer service desk for $1 each. The store pays a $1 deposit on each pallet, and the supplier buys them back for $1. Most of their pallets are fairly new and in good shape, also having hundreds of pallets to pick through makes it nice.

[@bruce-le-smith]

wow, new good pallets for a buck is a damn good deal. round my parts the free ones are garbage that the supplier doesn't want back cause it costs more in labour hours to deal with it than to just hope a fool like me takes it away :)

Thank you for doing that, and for the epic shoutout mate, thanks so much, and cheers from the danish pallet viking (sort of)

[@MissionaryInMexico]

Amazing. We love this approach, those of us who started businesses. Build as you go versus big loans. I once started a landscaping company with a lawnmower I pulled out of a dumpster, and a trimmer and blower I bought on time. I traded up on equipment a dozen times over the next 3 years, and tripled my income every year. On my 3rd year, my landscape installation and maintenance business was the 5th largest in the capital city of the state I worked in. I started a number of other businesses in other cities and states. And this, while working full time for the government. I sold the businesses in the early 1990's, and retired from business ownership for 6 years before returning on some levels. It can be done. I'm old and retired, and this video is inspiring me to start over again. Start small. I have a friend who is full blood Cherokee Indian in northern Georgia. He owns several businesses. One of them is taking a Dremel drill and making hummingbirds out of small scrap blocks of wood. He makes them, stains them, and outs them up for sale when he reaches 1,000 of them in less than a month. Then he ships them out, usually all to the same person, who pays him $5000. Every month. It literally takes him 45 seconds to make one. I watched him do it firsthand. Just keep looking for your niche. It's best to build as you go. Cuz then your floor is stable under you. Loans? Don't recommend them.

[@jesusalfrb]

I did lol my dad is a carpenter so I’ve had the privilege of having the tools.. most.

[@jasonsahadeo5740]

This is what I've been saying. I started in woodworking exactly like this except, I got friends to pay a deposit to get pallet wood auxiliary furniture (chests and shoe racks). I used the deposit money to buy a circular saw and glue. I already had a drill. Good God is took a long time breaking down pallets and I saw no money for a long time because I needed to use every cent to buy the tools needed for the next job. But the stuff was nicer and nicer and I got faster and faster (and better). I don't do it full time so I had to let people know up front that it'll take a while but they'll get a good deal because the furniture will be made of solid wood instead of the cheap nasty stuff available at the local stores Now I make smalls as a legit side hustle in my backyard. Fyi, I bought my circular saw (first tool) 2 years ago. Thanks for the video and the encouragement to stick with it.

[@jasonsahadeo5740]

@Michael Sørensen yeah. As a rule of thumb, always use the ones that are stamped HT. It means they're heat treated and not pressure treated. Check this video out for me details on the topic because in some countries they're often treated anyways. kzbin.info/www/bejne/anrFnYV4f7KbY80

I would like to start building my own stuff now there’s a lot of free pallets I can get around my city so hopefully I can start that too. I have the drill, sander, jigsaw and circular saw. Might have to get couple more tools but I don’t mind as this is something I’m really considering. Kinda nervous to start tho I just hope I can pull it off thanks for the video.

You gave me the inspiration to start a side hustle in pallet wood furniture. I am a landscaper and over the years have thrown away so many good pieces of wood and noticed the local timber merchant had trouble getting rid of the pallets. So I bought a thicknesser the other day for about 180 quid and it works great. I have made a table saw out of an old skill saw and I have now clamped up my first set of boards.

If you ever do a fence repair/replacement job, save those fence pickets, 2x4s, & 4x4s. We just replaced our fence last yr, & I saved all the wood.

Sometimes you can also find free wood/reclaimed wood from jobsites or remodels that is pretty amazing, but you might have some that's unusable too.

Great video and hobby. If possible, know the history of your pallets. Heat treated is better than chemicals like Methyl Bromide. Pallets may be stamped HT or MB. Obviously, go for the former. Avoid pallets used to transport chemicals or other materials that can introduce anything hazardous into the wood. Take precautions to avoid inhaling the dust. Finally, avoid burning pallet wood if there’s a chance you may inhale the smoke.

One very important note for EVERYONE: Wherever you get the wooden skids, honestly find out who bought the material that was on the skids and ASK PERMISSION from the right person, because in many cases, they paid deposit money (usually $25 or more) for each and are just waiting for the vendor to take them back and refund their money. In some cases, they did not pay for them and the vendor won't come and get them, so then the owner will be glad to allow you to take them away. ASK PERMISSION FOR SKIDS.

That's how I started too, doing this now for 2 years. Made a lot of things, sold a couple and invested everything in it.

I’m just starting this pallet woodworking adventure myself, got two more today. What I’m wondering is do you have to worry about different wood treatment for pallets. I’m getting heat treated wood. I want non toxic wood because I’m building a compost bin. I’ve noticed they are brittle, should I avoid heat treated wood for building furniture or does it not matter?

Great video, I started off with next to no tools, then slowly built up, used hand tools at first then slowly got machinery in, always work with reclaimed wood and now sell stuff....as said below, if your interested enough and stick at it, the skills and knowledge follows...

Hi Mark. Great video. I’m 8 months into my own woodwork/workshopping adventure. Can you please do a video on how to select the right pallet wood for making things out of? Most folks aren’t aware that some pallets are chemically treated or have been used to transport hazardous materials, and therefore should not be made into items that people should spend much time near. Thanks again!! 🤙🏻✨

Love the fact that you added how you started out, how much you got them for. And fair play was a nice thing to message the other peeps and say you'd make them one too. And also making more of a profit by doing so. Bonus . And wow all of that with basic equipment. Due to the fact that I don't have a lot of the tools. It makes me believe I can also do the same without thinking I need to spend money first. I have started making a space today so I can make my own table to start working on. And watching this has given me the confidence that I got this. As you gotta start somewhere . So thank you !!!!! 👌🏻😎

I like the very calm way you use to explain how it went down from the beginning with a basic set of tools and how you slowly started from the bottom up. Thank you for showing where to start!

[@alchemyst-themadwarlock1048]

I really want to get into woodworking with pallets. I have currently collected roughly 50 pallets of various sizes. Just came across your video and will definitely be watching as many as possibly. Thank you.

[@dainermade]

Excellent. Hope it helps

[@sturmhalo]

Great to see a video showing the more common and realistic (a.k.a. rough as balls) type of pallet wood that most of us end up with.

I’m a seasoned uk carpenter and super impressed with your work buddy! 👍👍

[@eekdestroy5329]

I LOVE it ALL! The guy (you), the positive attitude, the openness to new skills, the accent and the recycling. Good man. 👍🏼

[@Western.Werewolf.Studios]

Wood working is something I've always been interested in, though I never really had the time due to it being a hobby and not making me money. But now I think I'm going to start making and selling furniture!!! Thanks so much for posting this video mate! It gave me so much inspiration!👍

[@TiberiusWallace]

Pallets are so sought after in my local area so I spent the bank holiday weekend breaking down rustic coffee tables and building some up for people.

[@drewdubik9863]

This guys amazing! That dude that said 30k in tools is an absolute schmuck! Thanks for the solid video man. Never seen on KZbin in the DIY section such a genuinely nice person. Thanks again man.

[@marissasassin9053]

Your explanation of the job as well as the reasoning behind the action is exceptional.

The ONLY honest pallet wood video I've seen

[@Eweber007]

@@dainermade Not so much useful to me, but I appreciate the honesty. Too many videos characterize using pallets as "free" and "easy". Not to mention that they're all clean, straight and free of knots. Your video just struck me as being accurate and similar to my own experience. Pallets are a pain in the backside at times. They're dirty, nasty, often dangerous to handle pieces. They more often than not have splinters and nail/staples sticking out at every angle. Often the amount of useable wood can be quite small. I just wanted to say thanks for not sugar-coating it.

[@victoryartist1641]

It was just thrown away pallet wood, now beautiful furniture. Like the story of “The Three Trees “ 😀

[@christinecrane4059]

That pallet dismemberment tool is awesome.

You are amazing, thank you

[@melissasilver4014]

I like that you thought to message all the other people that wanted a table. Lot of pottential customers there

[@chrismcknight7164]

Beautiful furniture, not surprised they were snapped up so quickly!

[@Martinjstevens]

I got started doing pallet furniture too, it paired for most of my tools.
