Excellent design and workmanship. Love the fact that you have taken the humble pallet and turned into something of value that will last for years. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes.
Not only is this an Outstanding Build Project from Pallets, if people will watch how you built this, they will pick up some awesome tips and tricks to woodworking, Outstanding Work, Love it
Sad to see the negativity in the comment section. Great project, especially from pallet wood. And yes, I have seen cherry pallets. Not too common, but have received a couple on shipments of high-end industrial machine tools. I don't know exactly why cherry was chosen for making them, but I know that tool maker only uses cherry pallets on that particular type of shipment. Great Job!
What a cool build! Bravo! Trying to find pallets with that quality wood is hard. The scavengers scarf them up since we have places where they buy them as soon as you can gather them up.
A table saw, two different planer/thicknessers, a jointer, a band saw, a lathe, a router, a belt sander. A good few grands worth of power tools to make a pallet wood box for hand tools - I'm sure there is an irony in there somewhere. You could nearly say "no hand tools where used in this construction", but I think I spotted a block plane, momentarily. ;)
That is a very nicely proportioned well made tool box . I like it so i think I will make one. thanks for the ideas.I agree about the length as I need to store my 2 foot level which is actually 25 .5 inches.
That box looks great. Some nice looking pallet timbers there. Only thing I would do different is those drawer knobs. I'd accidentally break them of in no time. Nice build, cheers.
This is glorious, been searching for "woodwork design for bedroom" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Yanathew Wood Waggler - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my friend got amazing results with it.
Well done! I especially like the fact that you have used thinner stock than most builders. To my eye, 3/4” or even 5/8” stock on a small tool box appears inordinately heavy. I much prefer the lighter appearance of your box. I am curious why you didn’t use box joints on the drawers or the till. It’s a much stronger joint. Perhaps you treat your tool box with greater care than I do mine.😬😬
I am fascinated by your hinge attachment technique.Attach bottom half of chest to the piano hinge, use painter tape and glue (epoxy mix2 part) and adjust top, so that the front lines up, I assume, then let it dry, then open and screw it in? Brilliant.
Yes, thats exactly right. I use very little epoxy, just enough to hold the lid in place so that I can get the screws in. The painters tape is just to prevent the epoxy from seeping in and locking the top to the bottom. Thanks for the comment!
i do exactly the same thing, exept i use 0.5 mm double sided tape, just 2 small pieces ,so you dont need the tape and worrieing about epoxy on the product
I occasionally use double side tape on smaller projects, however, with heavier lids there is too much wiggle for double sided tape and often times super glue is too weak to hold in place before you can get the first screw in. Epoxy does not bond to the hinge so a little dab is enough to go into a screw hole to hold it in place for the first screw. The epoxy can easily be "cracked" off and then paired off the wood with a chisel. May seem complicated but it works really well for heavier types of fitting, and of course, there are many other ways to do it too. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great video. And I’ll definitely use your trick with the epoxy the next time I use a piano hinge. Do you have a video demonstrating how you made those bar clamps?
very well done, just a question, what about the clamps you use at first stage? are there any plans or instructions, I'm searching for similar from a while
The wooden clamps are based on Steven Bunn's Wooden bar clamps which appeared in American Woodworker magazine issue 166. He also has a wooden screw clamp which I believe is a free plan on the Popular Woodworking website. I have a video on these clamps coming up in the future as many people have asked about them. Thanks.
😂!! I was thinking = “where on earth do they use weak poplar?!” In the south oak is...or at least was the primary wood used for pallets. Georgia,Alabama,Louisiana,and Texas do not like things that can break by throwing them around a lot.... Due to the heat we get mad and throw things around....a lot.
Funny, I just had a pallet come into my work that was actually fairly clear (some small knots and mineral streaks) quarter sawn white oak. Some of it actually has ripple/figure in it too.
Great job on the tool box...beautiful. Poor job on the (mis-conception) about pallet wood made of cherry. I have seen (though) oak and poplar pallets though. Believe it or not. Pallets from Asia are commonly made of oak and various other "rare" woods. Which is junk wood in that part of the world. Surprisingly...pine wood is considered "rare" in that part of the world. But pine wood is junk (thus pallet wood) in America, at any rate.
Beautiful work! I don't think this video conveys the pain of preparing pallet wood...these are meant to withstand ages of abuse, and so are a real "bear" to take apart. But, thanks for persevering, this is certainly a case where the end justifies the means (or the pallet pain... ;D ). 👍
yes, that would work and the alternative is to drill a 1" hole in the center of the drawer face to insert a finger in to pull the drawer out. I went with the knobs at the time and although visually not appealing, they do actually work out OK. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I really would have liked the long version. I don’t have ADD or ADDHD. I would love to see the build in real time without high speed loud tools. Narrative is irreplaceable.
Very nice carpentry,but toolbox is way too big.It will be heavy,with handles on 2 sides it needs two people to carry it.It has to be portable ,should be smaller , which makes it lighter,with a handle on the lid so one person can lift it.
To some extent I agree. I typically never use pallet wood for regular projects, however, this project was for a particular pallet wood up cycle challenge. Sometimes I do use pallet wood and other reclaimed wood when customers want distressed wood finishes. There is a difference between people who always upcycle wood normally and between doing it for a project where you have a paying customer. For paying customers you will always take into account the additional costs (both labor and consumables) when upcycling reclaimed lumber because there is no other way to get your source materials. I never waste my time on softwood pallets. Nevertheless, I do understand that for some people with limited resources, pallet wood is a free and sustainable resource.
Is this not going to be very heavy. I will try to copy it but Your speed and expertise is too much for me. I like to carry it to a job at home and am getting sick of walking to far to get all or some of the tools. Your way is better and I like to copy! The end result will not be to your quality of course!
Maybe next time instead of just putting your video on fast forward so the background music,or whatever that was sound like a jack in the box. You know try some proper editing,and maybe some commentary explaining what you're doing. I'm not trying to be a dick,but maybe more people will watch the video in it's entirety if you make a change,or two. I do like the end results. It was a awesome pallet build. Great skill btw. Just slow down so it can be appreciated.

6:22 You actually stop for a bit to pat your dog. What a wholesome moment. I love dogs and this brings me joy. Enjoying your content sir.
When you're smiling the whole world smiles with you. Great job👍👍👍👍👍

Thanks Sterling, and thanks for being the founder of this challenge!
I love the plugs to remove nail holes. They're the most unsightly thing associated with working with pallet wood. Thank you!
Wow. You attention to details with this project was excellent.
Beautifully crafted. Great to hear a familiar accent too. All the best!
One of the best pallet wood videos I have seen!
A beautiful labor of love. Great job!
Beautiful Work Trevor! Nicely Done!
Beautiful craftsmanship! Thanks for sharing
Great design! That's a tool box I would be proud of and it will serve you well for many years to come!
Table saw, bandsaw, thicknesser, planer, sander, router, all from the home garage. I bet the neighbours love him! 😁
The neighbor with the loud motorcycle, the barking dog, or loud kids?
That’s a beautiful chest. And great craftsmanship. I really enjoyed watching this.
Great work, and great worship that you have, too, Trevor. Some good techniques on display also.
Very nicely done.
Great stuff! Awesome use of pallet wood. The systainer knob is a great addition. Cheers!

Very nicely built and logically explained . Totally agree about the length as I have a lovely 24 in Rosewood level I would pack.
Excellent work. Thoughtful changes
I really love it.Great job.
A true Master, indeed! Thanks a million.
Very nice build, loved the video and the way you work
Really good project turned out great ( you have to love pallet wood) nice video
Nice work my friend that turned out awesome.
Thanks Opa!

Congratulations great job !!!
great idea to build a track for the router to cut the hinge recess. Will use that in the future.
Great job the inside is awesome
That box looks great. Some nice looking pallet timbers there. Only thing I would do different is those drawer knobs. I'd accidentally break them of in no time. Nice build, cheers.

Pura vida Trevor Beautiful project one day I will made one
Belíssimo trabalho, parabéns!!!
beautiful work and box....
Awesome project ! Good Luck.
10:15 Nice Epoxy trick for the hinges!

Impressive, Nice work
Nicely done.
Typically I hate pallet projects how ever this is a an exception. Great job on the tool box
How did you deal with glue squeeze-out on the inside of the box before you cut the lid?
I am fascinated by your hinge attachment technique.Attach bottom half of chest to the piano hinge, use painter tape and glue (epoxy mix2 part) and adjust top, so that the front lines up, I assume, then let it dry, then open and screw it in? Brilliant.

I'm a little kate to the party :) however this tutorial is still great and gave me tons of usable ideas to enhance and create my own boxes thank you
Nice tool box.
Great video. And I’ll definitely use your trick with the epoxy the next time I use a piano hinge.
Do you have a video demonstrating how you made those bar clamps?
Nice job, Trevor...
Made it to 3:26 before my head exploded due to sped-up planer noise. I am dead now.

Trevor's Workshop s
BRAVO !!!!
Really nice box. What kind of wood is that at 4:00 minute mark.
Thanks,
Gary
Nice job
That jig for making the joints is awesome!
was it really hand crafted though?
Those compartments make it. And stopping your finger joint cutting to pat the dog.
Exactly where on this earth do people use oak for making pallets?
I had the same question. All I ever see is one species or another of sappy softwoods.
I see lots of red oak pallets around here. GA
😂!! I was thinking =
“where on earth do they use weak poplar?!”
In the south oak is...or at least was the primary wood used for pallets.
Georgia,Alabama,Louisiana,and Texas do not like things that can break by throwing them around a lot....

Wesley M score! 👍🏽 what state are you in?
like your work bench nice and bright i am going to build a new set of benches and a glue up table from the melemine
Very Nice build. I'd like to find some cherry pallets haha good find.
Now that you made it, do you use it?
I am not using it right now but I do have a plan to use it for some other hand made tools I am making.
@@trevorsworkshop Kudos 4 your courteous reply👍.

Any heavy duty pallets are made from hardwood. I see them regularly at work
Aaaaand, subscribed.
i think also that the tite bond is best on the market is all i use
Very nice build ... thumb up and subscribe ... 👍🏽
No plywood?
nice!!!!

👍
Wow, who makes pallets out of maple!!
why didnt you just cut a corner of the drawer behind the ''festool''lock,because in my world the knobs would be broken at the end of the week ;p
yes, that would work and the alternative is to drill a 1" hole in the center of the drawer face to insert a finger in to pull the drawer out. I went with the knobs at the time and although visually not appealing, they do actually work out OK. Thanks for watching and commenting.
love it / seriously
love it gl
Great work love the build but i dont have all the machines u do so i world have to do with more primitive tools
I really would have liked the long version. I don’t have ADD or ADDHD. I would love to see the build in real time without high speed loud tools. Narrative is irreplaceable.

Who's building pallets out of cherry?
Is this guy from north of the wall? He has a wildling accent.
Can we have plans please?
I don't really believe you found a pallet made from cehrry...
Can you give me a portable wood cutter?
I applaud the upcyclers, but life's too short to use pallet lumber. Between the lost time, nails, staples, rocks, and dirt, it's just not worth it.
To some extent I agree. I typically never use pallet wood for regular projects, however, this project was for a particular pallet wood up cycle challenge. Sometimes I do use pallet wood and other reclaimed wood when customers want distressed wood finishes.

Hello ...!!!
More wood working videos and send them to my phone with my phone number
cool you found some nice wood. FOr my video I found oak and cherry New Subsciber
lol it's way too huge
Maybe next time instead of just putting your video on fast forward so the background music,or whatever that was sound like a jack in the box. You know try some proper editing,and maybe some commentary explaining what you're doing. I'm not trying to be a dick,but maybe more people will watch the video in it's entirety if you make a change,or two. I do like the end results. It was a awesome pallet build. Great skill btw. Just slow down so it can be appreciated.
Davo gifman I looked on your channel for some examples of proper editing, but I found nothing...
Well I’m not even 2 minutes into this and I see it’s another sped up non narrative expose. Yawn.
Very nice work.
