Great video! One tip, when gluing up panels like that put clamps on the bottom and the top so that you don’t have that warping or bending like you had. Then you don’t have to put anything on top of the world when it loose. Putting clams on the top and bottom crates even pressure. I learned that when I started using pallet wood.
Love watching people re purpose pallet wood. Nothing wrong with the wood. Just needs a little love. And you make them turn out great. Keep up the good work!
In Canada a nice full sheet of plywood can run around $100. I think you can get some rougher ones for around $40. I wonder what the man hours are for creating a full 4X8 from pallet wood. From sourcing the wood to disassembly, grooves, gluing, and finishing. Might end up being comparable to working a normal job and just buying the wood. But I still love stuff like this.
Great series on pallet wood. when gluing the panel up, stagger the board lengths and you can make a longer panel with a great pattern. I would make them all 8' long and cut to length when using in projects. you can also make the panels wider and long.
I suppose but a 45 degree and butt joint would be easier and they won't be moving because of the tongue and groove gluing. I like easy myself. BTY, with your router vacuum chamber under the router, leave the dust to build up in the chamber and eventually it will build a natural curve and flow better.
Cool video! I was daydreaming about doing a tongue and groove pallet floor the other day, when I should have been actually working. I’m pretty stoked about the router bit - am I missing the link to get one or is it not there?
another great video, If I may add for safty reasons to please check that the pallets have not been treated with pesticides or any other kind of chemicals, especially those from other countries or agriculture. keep up the good work and stay safe.
Great video. I was thinking of doing the same thing but not gluing because I'm worried the panels would crack. Was that a concern for you? Did any of your panels crack since you made them?
Your aren't laminating, you're edge gluing. Laminating is stacking layers and gluing the faces together like plywood. Nit picking, I know, but it is what it is. I recommend not cutting your tongue and groove so deep. You don't gain any strength and you lose a significant amount of effective width with each joint. An 1/8 or 3/16 depth is plenty to keep alignment. A flat glue up is already stronger than the actual wood, so deeper t&gs aren't helping you. Hope this helps. Keep up the good work! You do some neat stuff.
Awesome video! A suggestion for the video: To see the grain a bit better, close the aperture on the camera. Unless you hold the wood right up to the camera lens, everything is over exposed and looks the same.
I’ve been think about making tongue and grove 👅 & 💃 out of fence pickets. Thanks for mentioning where you got your bits 👍…when cutting the bottoms off to make it flat is there a reason you did the cut off on the right side against the fence? I’ve been told that’s dangerous due to kick back potential. But wondering if there is a good reason to do it that way? I’m guessing accuracy? Thanks for any response
Have you made cabinets with the pallet panels? I have access to tons of pallets that are in decent condition, so thinking about making garage cabinets and try to get close to furniture look and feel with drawers too.
In answer to your question I made a cabinet for under my sink in the bathroom from pallets used for paper transport so no chemicals, just made it off the spur as a test piece, it’s been in the bathroom for over a year using titebond 3 glue and lacquered on the top and oiled on the body, I’m no professional in wood working, just started in covid time and did what I thought best. Basically I would think for the garage you could get away with pallet wood cabinets, hope that helps you
I do not have a planer, but I have a good source for pallets. Right now the projects I am using them for does not require a finished surface. Eventually, maybe.
If you ever get to the point of wanting a planer go over and keep an eye out for one under tool's on Craigslist. I bought my 12.5 inch Ryobi power planer from about a hundred dollars which is a lot less than new. Plus most of the people selling a uses one are woodworkers also just they decided to go for a larger unit. For instance the guy I bought mine from had a kitchen/bathroom cabinet business and needed a larger unit than the Ryobi I purchased from him.
@@HoneyHollowHomestead yeah that can be a problem but sometimes somepeople will meet in between your location and theirs so you don't send so much time and fuel.
While tongue and grove works well but with material that thin I would setup for shiplap. Single bit once tuned in and has a similar appearence. Edit 9:06 shiplap might have less resistance to bowing or other movement.
Cool shop. Your not getting a true cut when taking off the grove and tong in the way you do after gluing your panels. When cutting on the opposite side as the fence, the last 4 inches or so are unsupported by any square jig or fence, thus relying heavily on your hands to finish the cut. Now I know that saw only opens to about 21 or so inches but if that's the case you should use a push block with a decent back fence to allow a square finish to the cut. Not critical but a good reassurance. Great work, take care.
Great video. Just a thought though. Wouldn't it be an advantage to have a few small holes in the door to the router box to allow a through air movement? At the moment there is just a vacuum and no air passing through to take out the dust. Cheers John
Theoretically, the air intake is the space around the router and bit! I would like to hear from others what their experience is. It could be that a small vent could help!🤷♂️
I am just wondering but why with all the nice woodworking equipment did you decide to get such a small table saw? I know Dewalt makes great tool's but the small sized table space on your table saw would annoy me, but that's just my opinion.
@@lastingbuild1373 Hey thanks for the response. I just wanted to say that Craigslist is a great resource for tools. I have a good collection of tools many good ones from craigslist. So you might try to find a good full size table saw there
5:01 You put on your eye protection and your dust mask but don't wear any hearing protection that I can see...people will need to yell at you in 10 years to be heard if you keep operating shop equipment without hearing protection. Otherwise, great video!
@@lastingbuild1373 If you have an air compressor, then a pipe routed down there, with a valve that you can open every so often will stir that stuff up making a lot of it go out those suction hoses. As you work, just give that valve or air hose trigger a few blasts from time to time and a lot more stuff will get collected. Quick release hose on the outside of the cabinet can be used on the table saw too to do the same thing.
Everyone should recycle those unwanted n put to good use instead of keep cutting down trees n keep buying new one, with modern machinery many things can be done , more Ikea will eventually caused more wasting resources during those manufacturing processes from timber to furniture.

If you knew the cost and the unavailability of plywood in Australia you would know why I give a HUGE thumbs up!

I suppose the ends of the boards could be tongue and grooved as well for longer panel glue-up

Thanks
I'm hoping you can help. I can't find the link for the router bits you used in this video. Can you help me please? Thank you.
Me either
Looks like a couple of clamping cauls would come in handy. Nice job
That would be helpful!
That's right... the tongue goes in the groove perfectly...
Toybox, an old style toolbox for kids, or a custom Gerstner style box for you, would be a great use for the panels, just saying
Great thoughts! Thanks!
Great video. I was thinking of doing the same thing but not gluing because I'm worried the panels would crack. Was that a concern for you? Did any of your panels crack since you made them?
Good video. Turn those fence clamps around and you'll have a much easier work area.
Nice panels. cant wait to see what you make with them
Thanks man!

Nice video,
would you reccomend useing pine for things like cutting boards?
Regards,
Bill.
I would not recommend pallet wood for projects that could come in contact with food!
Why have you removed to riving knife from your table saw? Is there a benefit to not having it on?
after the glue up did they get wavy? I've tried working with pallet wood and i havent had any luck keeping it flat even after planning
Not a bit!
Just running them through a thickness planer doesn't fix any bowing in individual boards. You have to joint the wood or hand plane spots to reduce it.
I do not have a planer, but I have a good source for pallets. Right now the projects I am using them for does not require a finished surface. Eventually, maybe.

@@timothyvolkers5343 I will do that. But I do find that Craig's List in my area is not as prolific as it is where I used to live.
@@HoneyHollowHomestead yeah that can be a problem but sometimes somepeople will meet in between your location and theirs so you don't send so much time and fuel.
What if you place a pitched piece of wood under the router table pitching towards the vacuum hose? @2:59
the router jig actually has three uses, it can also chase away vampires
😂
While tongue and grove works well but with material that thin I would setup for shiplap. Single bit once tuned in and has a similar appearence. Edit 9:06 shiplap might have less resistance to bowing or other movement.
I definitely considered that but I wanted a ridged panel and wasn’t sure if I would achieve that with shiplap. Thanks for sharing!
Alternate clamps top and bottom and you won’t need the weights on top

You could probably improve the under-table dust collection, by allowing some airflow.
I’m considering that!

If you raised the planer shelf even 3", wood wouldn't snag on the hose of the cyclone. Otherwise, great video.
I was thinking build a shelf over the hose, it would stay underneath, and the wood could keep moving nicely.

Hello walter white
ive actually heard that before! lol
I recommend Woodprix to every beginner and not only.
A little bit of effort What, your a bull to go get pallet wood to look like that. Good job thank you
Thanks
Everything so great till you used that raggedy bottle of glue jajaja. Needed to make this comment
You speak for nothing, just do the job !
You absolutely need cauls on that. Those containers for weights aren't going to give you the desired result.
