Transforming Free Pallets into Beautiful Tables

I set out to make two outdoor tables from pallet wood. I had not been in a good place when i started the build. But making the table made me realise that transforming the pallets was really about transforming myself.
thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy the video

You have become a solid pallet wood hustler and teller of stories Steve!

[@SteveBellCreates]

Oh thanks so much Jesper that means a lot

[@jackthomson73]

Hey Jesper. Good to see you here 👍. Hope all is well.

[@neilfarrell2430]

Steve, you need to rebrand as The Philosophical Woodworker! Another excellent video, project and story. Thanks for sharing.

[@SteveBellCreates]

Oh thanks Neil I’ll grow a beard and wear a nice robe for the next one 😂

[@Jamie4-cx6bn]

Fantastic, Thankyou Steve. Appreciate your angle on videos. Almost like a mentor guiding me through projects, life and work in my life!

[@SteveBellCreates]

Thanks Jamie just call me Yoda😂

[@laifstaile]

Steve, I just watched yesterday how you broke your first pallets and now i see this...
Jesper who is bit out of pallet breaking and other who work with them will be proud of you...

[@SteveBellCreates]

Thank you so much yes I learned a lot form the master Jesper Makes

This is the first time for me to see one of your videos, and I liked the simplicity and the way your table came out. Well done 👏

Thank you so much I’m glad you enjoyed it

Steve, the philosopher, great video. Plenty food for thought.

Inspirational video. Love how you relate the wood to life events and a lovely design of table too. Good job.

[@SteveBellCreates]

Thanks so much Neil I’m really glad you enjoyed the video

[@robertnagle1995]

Beautiful, the work, the message, everything. I love working with reclaimed wood too, making the discarded Beautiful. Recently I made a palletwood work top for a campervan conversion. Subscriber gained

[@SteveBellCreates]

Thanks so much Robert I’m really glad you enjoyed it. It’s a really nice feeling to use recycled materials

[@loosebootwoodworking]

Woodworking video with deep thoughts, great combination. Keep up this theme, it's unique, and that's the key to a great channel. You've got another follower in me.

[@SteveBellCreates]

Thanks so much I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I wanted to try something different something more me I’m glad you liked this style and thanks for following me have a great weekend

[@melodywilson5255]

Beautiful! The project and your message!

[@SteveBellCreates]

Thanks so much Melody

[@MJLWoodWorks]

Great message Steve! Life is full of metaphor and so are pallets! I mostly use pallets and it truly feels good changing 💩 into something useful, beautiful, rustic, and or just a piece of art, decoration, or just a way to connect with your children.

[@SteveBellCreates]

I’m with you all the way man thanks so much for watching

[@thwoodandleather]

Love the video! The story telling is great and makes me think about my own life, - and what might need "adjustment". Its relaxing watching you build and listening to the story while i note all the smart "woodworking stuf" you do. doublesided tape for templates, nails for drying painted parts, rough cut with band saw or jig saw and flush trim with router etc etc. Also a lot of things to note in my "smart things to know when doing woodworking" book in your previous video. Please keep 'em coming Steve!

[@SteveBellCreates]

Thanks so much Thor for your great comments. I’m so glad you enjoy the video and that it struck a chi with you. I hope your well and thanks again

[@michaelthanksheroes2975]

Great video to see and at a poignant moment for me. When I am taking a step back to reflect. 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

[@SteveBellCreates]

Thanks Martin the words wrote themselves as that was how I was thinking at the time

[@jmwoodcraft7842]

Love it Steve, great video! Also, good work finding an outdoor sofa that is on brand!

[@SteveBellCreates]

Thanks Big fella

[@jackthomson73]

Nice work mate. I never would have of those colors for a table but they work well 👍

[@SteveBellCreates]

Thanks yeh I would normally go for a more natural finish but it’s good to try new things

[@MelbourneMaker]

Thanks mate. Great video, looking forward to more :)

[@SteveBellCreates]

Thanks so much cheered mate

[@steveout6971]

Great video and great results from the pallets. I will be building my grand-daughters a new cubby using pallets as the main structural part of the floor and the walls. I tend not to use too many pallets as live close to a saw mill and get lots of off cuts and mistakes. I will also be getting lots of the first cuts from logs to use on the outside of the cubby to make it look like a bark slab hut or a log cabin.

[@SteveBellCreates]

Thanks Steve. Your project for your granddaughters sounds awesome 🤩

[@bluecurlygirl]

Beautiful tables Steve

[@fathogwoodworking]

Great table Steve. Loved the video and the narration was great.
As of old to new - most of my workshop is pallet wood and sheet goods that came from the top of them. There something good about reusing materials that others didn’t want.
Have a good weekend !!

[@SteveBellCreates]

Thank you so much your so right it’s really satisfying to give things and materials a second life

[@ReclaimDesign]

Great video Steve, and I know the feeling. The side table looks very cool! 👏

I built a manual version of the nail remover, using a steel tube and a cutoff nail.
Works like a charm. I think I need to upload it as a video. 🙂

[@SteveBellCreates]

Oh man that sounds like a video that needs to be made

[@TheSwedishMaker]

Your so inspiring mate! This turned out really good!

[@SteveBellCreates]

Thanks Pierre your the best

[@bartloncke9359]

Quick tip from a pro, make yourself a router table. It is guaranteed 100% fun making it, it will save lots of time and if the router is powerful enough, you wouldn't even need a spindle moulder.

[@SteveBellCreates]

Hi thanks I have an old router table which is past its best and your right I need to build another one

[@Skullblood440]

Excelente utilidade

[@SteveBellCreates]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@dannyclinton5331]

What’s that tool you use to break the pallets up?

[@SteveBellCreates]

Hi funnily enough it’s called a pallet buster
