You can get letters of various sizes at a craft store like Hobby Lobby or Michael’s. I lay them out on boards and spray paint them. The outline shows up and I only have to take them off the boards. No peeling off paper. The letters can be used over and over.
@@Earthangel171 You can also get them from home depot. Mail box letters i believe are what they are called. Or just regular sign letters. Hobby Lobby walmart all sell them.
What I done instead was sanded the plank down, stuck my letters down. Spray stained the plank. After it was dry I removed the letters and put a coat of clear poly on it. It looked so nice. Thanks for the good idea!
I have an Antique booth up here and a guy did this in his booth.. He was selling ones like yours for $30.00 (and getting it every single weekend) and larger handmade signs for $50.00 and up (and getting it) I was there one weekend and he made over $500.00 just on his signs! With about the same money put into it, He has left now and I never got the chance to ask him how he did it..NOW I KNOW!!
They turned out way better then I thought they where going too. Great job! At the right venue 10.00-20.00 bucks each maybe? Since this is an older video did you sell any?
Thanks for the comment! I haven't tried to sell these samples, but here's a quick story. I took an old broom handle, Added 3 signs to it marked "vintage" "Antique" and "sale" all pointing the same direction to my garage sale. A woman offered me $15 so she can put it out in front of her antique store. Then I see her using it at a flea market she is selling at and while I am there, she sells it for $25! Not kidding!
We’re having a new backyard fence built. Was wondering what to do with 600 old 4 inch pickets. The local landfill told us it would cost $350 (!!!) to dispose of them there. Now I know what to do with them! Thanks!
I realize this was 9 months ago, but if you put them on Craigslist, they'll be snapped up by people like this who love making signs with reclaimed wood. I would take them!
I love to scrap and work with my hands but I live in the country where there is nothing it's all bad I'm thinking of moving to New York I just Sean a friend from here that lives there
If you can go to your closest town, there are usually free pallets behind most of the stores, especially hardware stores. I get a ton of free wood from behind harbor freight, tractor supply and a bunch of other places. If you only have a car, carry a sawzall with you and you can cut the pallets in the parking lot so they fit in your trunk but don't leave a mess! Go look behind the stores where the dumpsters are! Good luck!
I've tried that method of tearing apart pallets and even a multi-tool with a cutter that advertised as being able to cut through nails - but both blades dull after a few nails. Are you using a specific blade?
I think they are pretty cool, but here would be my take: add some frames made out out maybe 1 x 3 to give them more of a finished look, also maybe a coat of gloss polyurethane. I just like shiny stuff myself, and it would also help protect the wood. They are very cool, nice job.
The original anti-masker. These pallets are sometimes impregnated with all sorts of chemicals to stop rot and pests from destroying them You are breathing in that dust.
I’d give you 2 cents for the entire batch of crooked letters with paint scraped off with the knife, and rough edges. Two cents and I’d demand that you give me the gasoline and the matches to burn the garbage!

Hey Rich! That is a great idea! Plus you don't need a cricut machine! Thanks!
Pro tip!!!!!! Nice!
Can you show us what letters you used that can be reused
Thank You so very much I'm working on a project and your suggestion will make it so much better and easier Thank YOU again always good to have options

Great video. I like the 25-30$ range!!! Make money all day at that price
Enjoyed that :) subbed and looking forward to watching more of your videos...
Great idea
I love them. I would buy them for sure. $25 - $30 sounds like a deal to me. you are very creative! thanks for sharing your talent!
I guarantee you you they will not sell for 25 to $30 at least not in my area
Awesome video!! Thanks for sharing!
Ya know, if you get a chest harness for the cam, you would free up both hands. Just an idea
WOW! Look who I found! It's Shaneman doing signs!
Very Cool Idea

Great ideas and lighten up my wood pallet challenges, thanks ShaneManTV...
I’m from the fiji islands, an I love your creative work

Great job
When you spray do light coats and build it up layers
Excellent vid...Straight to the point without any bullshit, so it's a big thumbsup and a sub from me
great tutorial...
So cool :)
I have done this too. And the lines would be crisper if letters are peeled before it dries
Thank you
great Vid man!
Cool,I would give you 10 for the Live Love Laugh one ,just saying stay safe in all you do
???$10....It's not good will. Those would be $30 -$40 where I live.
I would use Western letters. I so love this project thank you! ❤
Awesome job...can you explain how you use the contact paper in cricut
Where in the Midwest do u live. Great video. I was looking all over to see if I could use a cricket for this
Did you put a finish or seal on them? The blue especially looks shiny which looks great.

Awesome!! Yeah there is so much scrap wood out there...Easy money and Pinterest is full of free ideas!
Awesome
What kind of paper do i use in a regular printer to be able to peal off letters?
Cool
Love this idea, and I have a cricut. WooooHoooo Love your channel. Why don’t you do this anymore?
They turned out way better then I thought they where going too. Great job! At the right venue 10.00-20.00 bucks each maybe? Since this is an older video did you sell any?

ShaneManTV people will buy anything....
@@ShaneManTV lol
Anyone else obsessing over the c is still crooked? Just me? Alright then
Nope. Me too! lol
most of the letters arent straight.... i guess they call that rustic
*twitching uncontrollably*
First thing I noticed when he put the letters on the board
The crooked letters and inconsistent paint coverage are bugging me. I wouldn’t be able to sell those.
You didn't explain what you used to do the lettering
Like this video
How dod you attach string/rope?
Brilliant Idea! I also posted some small pallet projects that can be sold on Etsy or something like that.
I really love this idea. Wheres Bobbin. Is he doing ok?
What if u sell the sign that has the stick figer that has a shovel
Like! like!
Thanks Tom!! I appreciate you!!
Great video I need to work no one around does anything for money lol said but tru

Blue, pink and white.

what kind of saw blade did you use on the pallet?
Just a metal blade. You can technically use a wood blade, or a hack saw, whatever works. You're just cutting through nails.
Personally I use bi-metal blades last a lil longer and coust about the same
Sawzall with metal cutting blade
Awesome projects my brother I like it good job,Hey I support you and I hit that bell to ok I will see you later very nice videos :)
Nice video. Are you still doing Fridays andi am missing them?
Tina Brewer no I stopped when the channel became ShaneManTV.
How can I get y letters for the signs?
didnt show how many time you had th change that sawsall blade.. cuz trust me one blade dont cut a entire pallet ... IVE TRIED!!!
I like the way you cut the pallets off. What is that saw called? Thanks
That is a sawzall or its proper name is reciprocating saw. Thanks for watching!!
ShaneManTV thank you!

Oh Man .!!!!!!! For Petes sake , align the letters , get your wife to hold the phone , and focus the thing !! It’s killin us out here !!!
Ok
Why didn’t you take the nails out
Tom Arnold? 🤣🤷🏻♂️
🌹👍❤️
MR SHANE MAN
Good Afternoon very very nice very very good for your working and for your video
I’m OTH SAL RIYADH SAUDI ARABIA 30-1-2018 god be
Turn music down
9:28 “and that’ll last me forever”….. no it won’t, it WILL run out. FACT!….
Nice joke mine never thinks I am a genius either
Why use crappy contact paper when you can buy paint mask cheap and you have to use transfer tape to keep spacing and straightness of the letters
Do it yourself lesson as a hobby.use old newspapers.
Um thats cool and all to make for yourself but I would most likely have to pay someone to take that kinda stuf. much less sell it.
I think you are a genius.. forget what your wife says..
Only thing yhat bothers me is your letters are Crooked and as a customer would be a deal breaker, guess I'm OCD
Having the loud music ruins the video
Looks cheap
The original anti-masker. These pallets are sometimes impregnated with all sorts of chemicals to stop rot and pests from destroying them You are breathing in that dust.
33 cents
Honestly. Do Americans actually buy this shit? I’d be too embarrassed to sell that crap.
Where do you live that a custom, hand-painted sign is "embarrassing"????
I’d give you 2 cents for the entire batch of crooked letters with paint scraped off with the knife, and rough edges. Two cents and I’d demand that you give me the gasoline and the matches to burn the garbage!
I wish I had access to a printer but I’m in india
