One of a Kind Pallet Wood Project

  • I build a farmhouse style dining table out of 52 old pallets. This was my first time working with pallet wood. The end grain butcher block style top is 3" thick, 3' wide by 6' long and the trestle base is all mortise and tenon joinery. This was quite the project and at the end of the build, I share how long everything took and all the extra costs associated with working with "free" wood. I hope you enjoy, let me know your thoughts in the comments and please get yourself subscribed to the channel.

    P.S. At the very end, I say I'm going to show some final pics and then fail to include them in the video. Apologies! :)

Easy to cleanI was looking for something that wasn't the traditional white and with more of a modern feel. This fit the bill beautifully. I put it together with no problems, by myself in under an hour.Make sure you double check where you place the drawer tracks before screwing down. I had one track that needed to be aligned with different holes than the rest.

For our first project, it came out beautiful and we are SO proud of it! If it never sells, no big deal. We will happily keep it (unless we have to move). But it was fun as heck, a great bonding experience, and lit the fuel under the fire for us to keep building! Love the video.

    I guessed 200 hours. Close enough. You know, most tables are beautiful because the wood grain looks nice and speaks for itself. But sometimes, a piece is beautiful because it is a statement that says "someone went through all the hardship, pain, effort, and time to make something out of nothing". There are so many skills involved in making this. I can't even begin to imagine how stressful were the glue ups, how boring was the cutting and planing, or how your back and shoulders felt after sanding. Thank you for making this.

    @stormkhan4250 Год назад +24

    That was an epic build, Well done! I wish I had the workshop space you do, I would be doing a heck of a lot more in there. Something to consider with your jointer and planer machines: consider replacing the cutting heads with helical cutter heads. The little square cutters all around the cutting head are carbide and last a very long time and when they do blunt then all you need to do is spend an hour or so going around all the carbide cutters with an allen key and rotate them all 90 degrees to get a 'fresh' set of cutting edges. You get 4 edges per square and that will probably last you many years.
    I don't know if you have a fireplace or some sort of wood burner but you might be able to burn some of that waste pallet wood (depending on the type of pallet) and the saw dust you could put into your garden beds to compost away. That would save you a bit of money instead of having to pay for having to dump it at the local garbage dump.

      assuming he wants to earn a living wage, that table could be anywhere from, at $20 and hour - $4,085 to, at $60 an hour - $12,685...after costs. Since 215 hours is 26 straight 8-hour days, I would think he is going to charge much more than $20 an hour to make it a real living.

    This was just an amazing project. I love the idea of reusing old wood as we all need to think a little more about reusing in our consumer world. That being said, i just love this table. Blemishes and all. I think that is what gives a project caracter. Well done!

    I was given about 18-28 pallets; it took a couple of half days to dis-assemble them with my oldest, then we sanded half of them, sometime soon I will be making them into somethings.
    Any way thanks for the heads-up, and you did a really awesome job love how the table turned out and the style especially!!!

    This is an epic build, I like what you have created there. Having collected and dismantled 21 pallets myself, I know how much work that alone is. I don't have the space you do so had to make do outside. I am using the blocks from the pallets to make a coffee table, that's a long job as well.

    Stunning my friend, absolutely stunning, I broke down 12 pallets once for some free wood and promised myself I would never do that again, you are one patient man. I don`t know how much time per day you spent on it, but I guessed a month @ 8 hrs. per day, 240 hrs. I would bet somebody would gladly pay $3,000 for it, that is a work of art, well done sir. I love your shop, and those wine barrels. Somebody paid attention in shop class.

    Freeze! Hold everything! Not all pallet boards come off that easy! For me, most don't. They use nails that are meant to NEVER come out. If they do come out, when they do, they are very bad to split and ruin your "free" lumber. Now, if can choose pallets that are easy to disassemble, that is an inside track....thanks for the video. Inspiring!

    • @RO8s
      @RO8s Год назад

      @@MellowMeadowsGrove Well, the "profit" is in your hourly rate. If you have an order, and you've quoted it correctly, then you have a living, until you need the next one. To make a living, in fact you are better to make high-margin, low-value products, but then you are churning out simple things all day, which isn't the dream job. I did look at it, but the prospect of making twenty loo-roll holders today, followed by thirty tea-light candle holders tomorrow sort of put me off! During lockdown (the first one) I made a sideboard (from pallets) and in the second a store-cupboard/kitchen drawer worktop to match, but I couldn't have sold them at a profit.
      I do have a work table specifically for making that thick table-top, and if you had one "cooking" all the time while you got on with other things, then that might make sense, but it's a slog, unless you are quick and really talented. I looked at one of Paul Sellars videos, just making a simple three-legged stool. I made the same calculation and even at his speed you'd have to sell it for €75.

    Great project! I would be curious, what it would have costed in time and money if you would have bought the wood and built the same table? Assuming the pallets were mostly pine a person could use privacy fence boards. You would have saved a ton of time breaking down and cleaning up pallets plus you would have saved a chunk of change in blades, sandpaper and etc. This video really shows why some woodworkers avoid pallets. Thanks for breaking down the time and costs.
