Watching you bring old pallets back to the beauty that no ones else sees remarkable. I am learning a lot from watching your videos and hope to see much more. Great job. Thank you for sharing ( Stay Safe ) .
The wood tones are always amazing! This is going to be the "mother of all dining tables"? Love to see you enjoying your work! Looking forward to this build!
Holy crap! It is so very important to always keep an open mind because then the thing that happened to me just now happens more often! I obtained a golden nugget of useful information I did not have before; Its possible to have pipe clamps too tight!! I seriously never considered that before now and I am kicking myself in the ass for not realizing it! I couldve saved myself quite a lot of knuckle and eardrum damage from pounding on stubborn glue-ups! Thanks so much Danier!!
Great video once again Mark!!! You asked what a shit ton of pallets in metric converts to imperial and I think I have an answer. It took me a while to figure it out, but give or take a few pounds, it is a SHIT TON of pallets in Imperial!!! :)
New subscriber!!!!! To assist with the metric to imperial conversion you asked for @ 3min 16sec. So 1600mm is 62.9 inches and 900mm is 35.4 inches. Love your content mate. All the way from South Africa.
New to your channel, Enjoyed your table, looks amazing. I'm cutting a bunch of slats for a birdhouse today, not going to lie the table saw kind of makes me nervous. But hey, I will give it a go. TFS, have a creative, inspired week xoxoSandy
That is awesome mate, well done and great video on these beast slabs brother ...🤣😂 also I watched the beginning like 6 times just because I felt star struck with my sticker up in your shop 🥰🤩🍻 cheers mate
Hola! 🖐 Really good video, of course there are many videos on "how to" get these glue ups done but I always learn something new. I appreciate how you calm the nerves that these slats will straighten out when clamping them together. I picked up a couple of good tips such as the special and unique glue spreader, using small cut offs to "fill in", best and not the least is that slide move to get from one end of the piece to the other 😂 Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👊
I wonder if instead of that barrier you used to keep the pallets from sticking to your table, if you used melanine with mold release spray it might be repeatable and easier? Figure if that works for expoxy maybe it would work well for wood glue.
Hi Mark, I'm just starting out with making some jigs first. Can you tell me where you sourced the clamps you are using. You do mention that is just below but I can't find it. I bought some smaller ones, real cheap and nasty, two snapped on first use. Keep up the good work, I am inspired. Thanks
Im curious mate, have you ever thought of scarfing the boards to get the length and a cleaner join? Would take a shit load longer... Im not meaning timber framing scarf joints, just a 60 degree cut on each piece then glued.
@@dainermade The very same. So good to see you on youtube mate. I was looking to make some furniture out of pallets and you were the second channel i found. It took me a couple of minuets for it to sink in. Love your chennel mate, keep it up. Hope you are doing well
What is the min thickness you would rcommend? I would like to do something similar but use it as a cladding for the front face of my shed. I think the wood tones are awesome.
As an officious Brit overseeing the activities of our former colony and its progress, I hereby inform you that a metric shit ton of pallets in the Queen's measurement system...is a "buggerload". To date Dainsey, I must now be on about 20 pallets. Whenever the wife upsets me, I go out and rip a pallet. Is this a known therapy? (Waiting for some rain to go and finish my workbench!)
New subscriber! Awesome. I'm looking to build a TV lift cabinet. And was thinking of using 18mm ply cut at 45's rather than butt joint them (to avoid the side of the ply being visible). But I'd probably need a biscuit jointer, and it's a farce. But I reckon using reclaimed pallet wood using this method is perfect. Just need to figure out how to make those clamps! Thanks man!
If you happen to see this, and sorry if I missed it the video, But what kind of wood is this made of? Here in Euro land hardwood pallets are few and hard to get cheap.
Banging mark. I've made a outdoor bar and clad it in pallet wood which was cut to groups of same widths but all different thicknesses so you end up with tight joints but textured face. Now onto the top. I have pallet wood plus some small cuttings of oak, meranti and iroko wood worktops which are too small for anything else but cut up would be good with the pallet wood. I notice you cut your timber to all the same dimensions. Some of my timber is already dimensioned to about 10mm thick. But this would take 50 layers to get my 500mm final width. So my plan is to group several thicknesses. Have you done it using different thicknesses. As long as your row is all the same it should b ok
My bar top is made. It's got a roof so is semi covered. And a cover will be made for it but it will live outside. Not sure what finish to put on it. I've seen many options. Paint a layer of clear epoxy so it's fully weatherproof and has a glass like finish, use a poly yacht varnish, or some kind of oil finish. Any suggestions?
Hi, Mark great videos are totally inspirational ....I have watched them all over and over again... totally hooked can you please clarify what width are all your slats did you say 1.5 centimetres/15mm what width /depth are they ?? Thanks Rob.
I noticed in an earlier video you said you didn’t sand or plain the glue edges first. You did in this build. Is that a change of philosophy or project specific.
Great work again. How thick is the slap? What I mean is how thick do you cut each piece of wood to to give you the height of the slab when it's completed? Looks around 5 - 8cm or something. Thanks
@@dainermade so the process goes something like this. 1. Put straight edge on timber with jig and table saw. 2. Cut them to set depth (between 40 and 80mm) table saw. 3. Use thicknesser to clean up sides and take down to 15mm width. 4. Glue up. Am I missing anything? Cheers
Hey I may be wrong but 1600 mm x 900 mm equals 1 440 000 square mm. So 1 440 square cm, which means around 2 232 square inches. But I am used to using only the metric system, not imperial haha :)
any chance u can give the dimensions of the of wood you're cutting? heard you 1.5cm in thickness what about the width-length? after viewing this video numerous times I feel like giving it a go. keep up the good work!
Great stuff! Question: that turpentine at the end, does the finish end up looking like that, or did you basically just temporarily hydrate it? (I like that look!)
Metric shit-ton in the US is simply a “shit load,” one of the more useful technical terms I learned in the US Navy. Is “shuffle shuffle” a replacement for “check square?” Darlington, South Carolina USA
lolol Mate love ya style ..lol BTW i learnt a while ago to use those silicon things ..lol I use the silicon brush, its awesome, dont have to worry about cleaning it as the glue just peals off lolol Well done though man, and the Pallet wood shuffle (thats what ya should call it ) when ya slide back :P )
@@dainermade that metal detector in the description is unavailable on Amazon now. I’ll look at some reviews and go down the rabbit hole I guess. Thanks for replying sir. God bless you and your family
Cus I'm a bit of a sad bastard I can tell you a standard pallet is 1200mm x 1000mm. I could also tell you many more pallet sizes, but then I'd become a really sad bastard! I'd love to do the shuffle whilst gluing up in my workshop, but I'd go ass over tit with all the crap I have on the floor 🙄😁

Not sure why I'm just now seeing this, but thanks for the mention, I love everything about this video!
You’ve just made my day mate. Even if it was an old one from the archives!
Still your biggest fan!
I absolutely love the fair dinkum attitude of most Aussie RUclipsrs. Never stop being you.
Watching you bring old pallets back to the beauty that no ones else sees remarkable. I am learning a lot from watching your videos and hope to see much more. Great job. Thank you for sharing ( Stay Safe ) .
I always come back and quickly watch this video on 2x speed before a big glue-up to be reminded of all of your tips to get a good slab. Thanks!
Shuffle shuffle, clean! Brilliant!
Can not wait till the next one Buddy!
Soaking up every single bit of knowledge my brother thank you.

Congratulations on being a winner on Sumo's challenge!! I am happy you did...that hammer/mallet deserves some spotlight!
I'm actually considering making our new dining table in this way Mark. I really like it and with a cast iron base I think it would look awesome..
Great video once again Mark!!!
You asked what a shit ton of pallets in metric converts to imperial and I think I have an answer.
It took me a while to figure it out, but give or take a few pounds, it is a SHIT TON of pallets in Imperial!!! :)
Nice adaptation - table saw as thicknesser. the end result would make a nice bench.
You are an absolute LEGEND mate. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻
"Wax paper" is even easier to say than "grease-proof paper" or "baking paper." Well, "baking paper" flows.
This table top looks amazing
Yep 2 years ago I made my tv stand 8ft long with same technique and I love it.
@@dainermade
It is beautiful
If nothing else, this gives me confidence I could do it. I'll check out the brick method now.
HI Mark every day is a learning day what the full video saves your self asking stupid questions. when the answers are all there !!
That table saw jig kicks azz
gonna stock pile some free pallets and build some of these, would make a nice coffee table desk and dining table
Looking good mate. I'm liking the odd bit of pine here and there. It makes the other timbers pop that little bit extra👍
Gonna look grouse mate👍👍
Dainer Design Look forward to seeing how it turns out mate👍 Just a heads up... you get a little cameo in my video coming out tonight😂
This monster is going to need its own postcode!! 😂😂😂😂. Fantastic effort and the shuffle,.... lets not talk about the shuffle 😂😂😂🏁🏁🇦🇺🇦🇺
Great video mate. A definite go to for a future project. Got my metal detector to and already saved me money in possible ruined blades 👍
Nice! already waiting for take 2. Cheers!
Cool Mark, great work brother 👏
Learning heaps Mate, thanks for all the trouble you go to putting this content on RUclips much appreciated Cheers Mark :)

Would the bag inside the cereal packets do the same job when gluing up instead of "baking paper" for smaller jobs?
Birdy
For sure! Well quick test first lol. Good idea
That some nice work mate.

3:13 I think the conversion is 1.2 BL or some Yank measurement!
Wow, that must be the most expensive wood to build with. What a time-investment!
It’s an imperial shit ton as well. Only measurement that’s the same.

I've been throwing away .99 cent (US) brushes for years. it was easy to convince my wife to let me try her rubber spatula. Brilliant!
How do you remove the shards of nail fragments left behind when you’re pulling nails? Do you just drill them out?

To Bri g out the color can I use oil then polyurethane??
Good video, i saw you from Honduras
Good job bro
1600x900 is about 63" long by 35 7/16", or roughly 5 feet by 3 feet
you've mentioned a part two on multiple occasions here, could you provide a link to it ? i've not found it in your video history : /
Hey I may be wrong but 1600 mm x 900 mm equals 1 440 000 square mm. So 1 440 square cm, which means around 2 232 square inches. But I am used to using only the metric system, not imperial haha :)

lol love it, you are hilarious
How do you tell if the pallets are treated or not? Or is this not an issue?
Next step.... whole deck, 6x6m... made from pallets. 😁
How did u get all the nails out? Do you lever them all out? I recip saw my pallets up so the nails remain in the wood.
Check out the video description. Hint: *_Pneumatic denailer_*
I believe it is actually a rare 1 to 1 conversion. 1 metric shit tonne of pallets is roughly equal to 1 imperial shit ton of pallets.
lolol Mate love ya style ..lol BTW i learnt a while ago to use those silicon things ..lol I use the silicon brush, its awesome, dont have to worry about cleaning it as the glue just peals off lolol Well done though man, and the Pallet wood shuffle (thats what ya should call it ) when ya slide back :P )
You have a link for a good metal detector? I have a cheap one but need something else better
Yes. In most of my videos in the description

@@dainermade that metal detector in the description is unavailable on Amazon now. I’ll look at some reviews and go down the rabbit hole I guess. Thanks for replying sir. God bless you and your family
It's a shit ton in imperial as well.
What are you doing for the legs?
Wearing shorts...
what do you do if you have bord whit not the same ticknees
@@dainermade thank you sir keep up the good work
If you are making this stuff for money Grizzly bear tools sells a 24 inch wide planner!
Straightening jig at 44 seconds.
Can u make something without breaking down pallets
Cus I'm a bit of a sad bastard I can tell you a standard pallet is 1200mm x 1000mm. I could also tell you many more pallet sizes, but then I'd become a really sad bastard! I'd love to do the shuffle whilst gluing up in my workshop, but I'd go ass over tit with all the crap I have on the floor 🙄😁
Just scabbed my first pallet. Time for some monkey see, monkey do 🐵😁
A metric shit ton is a standard shit ton in the states and weirdly the same.
Another great vid. Cheers mate. Btw, who cares about imperial?
Imperial would be a Buttload
Could be wrong, but I believe it's 2.2 metric shit-tons to 1 imperial shit-tons.
I think 1 Metric Shitton is equal to 60% of an Imperial Shitton. So not that bad.
agree haha
Imperial thats about 63 in. X 34 in. Which would also be a metric shit ton of pallets. 🤣
The imperial is a fuck ton
Dude, you're the only one laughing.
Not sure what the imperial measure would be; the US measure that equates to the metric sh*t ton is the f*ckton. You're welcome :-D
'Boring as bat sh*t?' (5 min 35 sec) I'm a retired scientist who once experimentally examined animal excrement as part of Scatology and eschatology studies. I happen to think bat sh*t is rather interesting 😉
A metric shit ton is a fuck ton in imperial FYI
Here in the USA we call it parchment paper (your grease proof paper).
Imperial shit ton!
Dunno why, but the "Shuffle Shuffle" made me think of Chump's "Truffle Shuffle" in the Goonies ruclips.net/video/V-Ln03xgaUc/видео.html
It’s an imperial shit ton
In imperial/American parlance it's fck load
The imperial equivalent to a metric shit tonne is a 1.016 long ton's of shit
Loving the video's, keep up the great work. I've just got into wood working and your channel is very inspiring for me!!
That would be 0.9842 Imperial Shit Tons
It’s a metric sheet ton no mater where you live or how you look at it…😂😂😂
Metric shi# ton of pallets 😂
How do you tell if the pallets are treated or not? Or is this not an issue?
