There is some treasure out there for sure. As a person who builds pallets for a living, I can tell you my heart sinks a little when I throw a board in the machine that has some really cool figuring on it.
I bet it does! Thanks for sharing!
I'm impressed by the quality of wood in those pallets too! I might have to go hunting soon! Thanks for another quality video.
Thanks! I’m sure there is a art to picking the right ones but do far I’m 😃
Yet again you have created an amazing video on pallets. Just watch out for rocks and dirt embedded in the wood. I deal with this by pressure washing before dismantling.
Very good suggestion! Thank you!
Carpentry has always been my passion, but I'd have never been able to practice it, I will watch every single of your videos, I'm sure I'll learn a lot, greetings from Roswell Ga
I picked up some palettes and got as far as sawing them apart into boards. I'm planning to do the same thing as you. However, I was at a local supplier of wood recently and they had a long cart full of off cuts that they said are free for the taking. This place is not a lumber yard. They supply everything including exotic lumber to carpenters in NYC, Westchester, and CT. They have amazing stuff. Teak, ebony, rosewood, you name it. Before they deliver the lumber, they rip off the sides and dimension it. That is what was on that cart. Most of it is 1/2 to 3/4. Some was junk, but some wasn't. I figure a trip a week to that place will become my future practice. I have a truck, so I can fill er up. Can't wait.
Thats some crazy techno music @ 4:57
Years ago I knew a guy who made Grandfather clocks. He found 2 pallets made of teak. He broke them down and made a very beautiful Grandfather clock out of them.
Wow! I’d love to see a pic of that!
@@lastingbuild1373 I wish I had taken pics. It was beautiful.
Very good Jim, nice looking wood. Look forward to seeing your projects
Hey David! Thanks!
Hi, I use a lot of pallets for wood using the same system as you to find nails, I used to remove them with a nail punch but it was slow and tedious work. On the internet, I found an air operated nail remover and this blasts the nails out and even screws are removed. I have an industrial sized compressor and turn to pressure up to 250 pounds (ca. 113 kg), I put the wood over a dustbin with sawdust at the bottom to stop any nails bouncing out from the pressure.
Another viewer recommended the same thing! Great advice and thanks for sharing! I may need to look into that!
nice. Pallet wood can be great!!
Thanks!
On the subject of savage wood for a project, have you considered what you can do with treated stockade fence boards? I'm working on old faux barn wood timber beams for the lounge using fence boards and scarf joints to get the length I want, so far I think it's going to work out well, but haven't decided on how to finish the wood, Yet!
I generally stay away from the treated stuff if possible! I look forward to seeing your finished lounge though.

Just found your channel, subscribed.
Welcome! Thanks for watching!
I need one of those machines.........
Just got my plainer this year and to be honest i wish i coukd make a job out of it. So relaxing. But i have a question...What do you do with all the sawdust. I'd hate to just throw it out if there is a better use for it
Just looked thru my slats they all soakin from rain so can't use them yet till dryer.
Made a bench end piece which was done wrong way around so have to left instead of a left an right, doh
Great video ..can you suggest a non toxic, not flammable finish for indoor pallet wood projects?
Why did you not joint one face of the wood first?
I was told if you don't have one flat face then you cannot
get a flat board. This is I'm told, because the thicknesser
follows the contours of the board. IE- If you start off with
a twisted board, then it will remain twisted. You will get
the thickness you want but the board will still be twisted.
What are your thoughts on this?
Regards,
Bill.
I agree but the pallet material was very thin and the tongue and groove joints lined everything up nicely for the plane till. Look out for next Monday’s video for more info!
Hi! Im a big fan of your work and never miss a video. You showed your dust collector several times, what do you do with the particles?? Thanks for sharing! :)
Hi Regina! Thanks for watching! I pile it up outside and use for composting and mulching!
What’s your dust collection setup like. I need to update mine and any info will be appreciated
Just wondered why you didn't joint a face before planing?
I’ll do that next. I’ll be using the table saw to joint the edge and need a nice flat surface to do that.
@@lastingbuild1373 But dont you normally joint one face, then run the opposite through thickness planer? This way you are actually planing from a flat surface? Seems like you are doing it backwards
That’s a good question! For the purpose of what I’ll be using the pallet wood jointing the face is unnecessary. Your thought is correct though.
👍
If u had maybe a bigger hammer ... cats claw
I’m really surprised that they make pallets out of all different woods, instead of just soft SPF (Spruce/Pine/Fir) or Oak.
They don’t seem to discriminate
It all depends on where the pallet was made and in some cases what it was made for. There's a lumber mill twenty minutes from me who's primary business is making pallets. The trees they find that have really nice wood in them they mill into rough cut boards and sell. All the other trees go into pallets. There's pine, beech, white oak, red oak, maple, walnut, cherry, poplar, etc.
You also can't judge just by the name of the wood. There's a factory near my house for instance that gets stuff delivered from Germany on these super heavy duty pallets made from three inch square pine. The pine the pallet company over there makes the pallets from though is from way up in the German mountains and because of the comparatively short growing season the pine is so dense it challenges some maple and aged oak I've bought for weight and hardness.
The pallet mills buy "scrag" or trees that have no real commercial value due to size, limbs, and what would be considered defects that would make them unsuitable for lumber or veneer. I work for a firewood processor and we often sell logs to the local mills for pallets or stakes if it had characteristics that precluded it from running through the processor
@@j.chriswatson6847 Too blanket a statement to be universally true. The place I was specifically referring to for instance has several of their own managed forests. They have a guy on staff that marks the trees for cutting. There are some trash trees that for whatever reason grew weird or short that only go to the pallet production and a few trees that are exceptional that go straight to lumber milling but most of the trees are split. The better straighter sections go to lumber milling and the trash goes to pallets. Of course I guess it depends on what you consider trash to look like. There is some amazing heirloom quality stuff being made from discarded or liberated pallets.
@@LordPadriac There is always one.....
My only worry with Pallets is I don't like anything that might have hauled fertilizer or toxic chemicals.
Tru no to star at the screen when talking. Talk and look at the lens of the camera. You got me interested in salvaging pallets again.
Seriously? What makes you think that I want to sit in my living room and listen to you planeing wood? You put on hearing protection but made me listen. Very rude especially considering that you had the option of editing out the noise, but chose not to. Not a good way to attract people to your channel. 👎🏻
you are the first person to say that! I'll keep that in mind going forward.
Try using your volume control - that is what is was put on the TV for.
