I have spent my life honing the skill of messily cutting bits of wood way off square with a hand saw. It is so refreshing to see some beautiful perfect right angles and furniture made from what would have been waste. Thanks for your humour and your style and for sharing your work with us. Filming things delays the process of making anything dramatically and is another skill that the casual viewer probably overlooks.
You Sir have given me the kick to not let the wood intimidate. I have a great, unlimited source of a variety of pallets and questionable used dimensional pine lumber. I've been creeping youtube makers for a couple years but your style is exactly what I needed to see. Keep it going and stay you!
@@dainermade exactly! Cut a piece wrong? Np, chuck it, save it for later... no skin of the back. Working a waterfall desk as my first major furniture project. See how bad I can mess it up!
Check square, Check square, if this doesn't come out square i`ll take a trip to Australia. ( LOL ) You do a great job mate everything looks to be perfect. Waiting for the next project Mark.
You could get a collet extension for the router .. if there is clearance, --OR -- use a 1/4" or 6mm ( thickness of your biscuits or spline ) down spiral bit and run the router flat against the 45 degree face - with some sort of guide bar - you could even make a new face plate that has a an adjustable fence on it which will index off the pointy end of the 45 degree face, so that you set the slit the same distance back from the edge. Then you woudl not have to extend the bit so much and would have better safety and probably better accuracy. Nice result!
Thanks for sharing! that little tip with the 45 clamped to another 45 around 6:54 is great! If you ever run out of biscuits, you can always just cut a trench like you did and just add in a thin strip of wood! :)
Hey mate. Absolutely love your work. Great tip for your filler. Use the dust you’ve collected in your extractor and just mix it with your pva glue. Bob’s your uncle! Matches great with your work. Keep it up mate.
Great videos keep them coming. I think I have been watching to many of you videos though . I was working on a small project in the shed and every time I grabbed the square a voice in my head kept saying check square check square over and over. Stay safe steve
It's great to find Aussie makers on the tube. Loving your videos mate. Looks like a couple of your commenters are trying to set you up though. All the best, Brian.
@@dainermade Yep, that's one of the things that can happen. If you check the angle of the blade with a speed square, you have to make sure the speed square is square to the blade. If it is off square slightly, you end up with a blade which is set higher than 45°.
When's the check square stickers being released 👌😆 Awesome tip for those that don't have a biscuit joiner, and those that do. Personaly I think this is a better method for a mitre join like this 👍
Great idea. Yeah, the longer bit is a potential issue. Also, fill the entire trench with glue and give it extra time to dry. Right (maximize the connection with biscuits / glue)?
That is awesome! I'm JUST getting a stash of pallet wood (& having the JOY of breaking them down). I'd ordered a Pallet Buster head, but the fiberglass & wood handles I have started cracking the first time of use, SO, I went thru my steel stash, broke out the welder, & made my own. ANYWAY, I love how your slabs turn out, but the pallets I have don't have the different tones like yours. 😞 I'll start with something small & see how it goes! Oh, & per your suggestion of NOT being a tightass like you, I just ordered a metal detector. I'll have to find it again, or maybe you can answer; what oil-based, wipe-on poly do you like so much?
Ey up marrow how's it hanging? I see you like to bring it up the rear at a nice slow speed then boom biscuits and glue it's all gravy and grand my old mucker top notch job as always. Ps I'm planning on something similar for my girls bedroom using some oak left over from the bar build. Cheerio my old fella fritter
Your videos work like magic on me. Mesmerises me the whole way through. This video kind of made me wonder if you were going to start wrapping up your channel? I do not know why, but I got that vibe. I hope not. Mark, keep up your great videos, please.
Dude, LOVE your work and have tried a number of things you have suggested and they all work as advertised. I specifically liked your breakdown on the chemicals in pallets. I have just ordered a bunch of pipe clamp fittings. As I am an idiot, what sort of pipe should I get and is stuff from Bunnings good enough? PS, my wife and I went driving for pallets on Sunday for 2 hours and didn't get a single pallet. Good thing we like each other. This is the project I am doing with pallet wood. Here is a stool inspired by you: OOps, clearly I cant send you the image
@@dainermade I have tried that on a couple of computers but keep getting this message: "Sorry, this page isn't available. The link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed. Go back to Instagram."
Just found your stuff on RUclips; very nice. I’m around Ipswich in qld, where do you get merbau pallets and is Bunnings cool with getting stuff from their bin?
@@dainermade Cheers, thanks for the prompt reply. I love your stuff and it’s so good to hear someone that speaks normal on RUclips. Will keep watching and start dumpster diving at Bunnings. Henri
Anybody have a link for a router bit that is long enough to cut the biscuit groove like that? Want to make sure I get one that goes far enough to not cut through the wood.
I was actually checking for square with you! Nice work with the router...the waterfall edge turned out just right. Those metal right angle brackets are a great way of clamping your work to maintain square! I am assuming that the pallet wood is a combination of soft and hard wood?
Just a thought but instead of using all those biscuits along the waterfall edge I'd have used one of your scrap offcuts and made a lengthy piece of wood inlay !!! You just know it's worth watching when the host refers to oneself as a wanker 🤣🤣🤣 classic 👌 💯% 👍🇬🇧
@@dainermade no worries buddy 👍 I happened to come across your channel after watching Karl's and within 5 minutes of watching 👀 you gave him a shout out! Think from memory it was upon the lines of " Big Bastard " !!! Cracking ,ending up subscribing 🤣👍🇬🇧
I don’t have a domino jig or a biscuit cutter so this is awesome. I’m making a live edge black walnut waterfall table for my in-laws 60th anniversary.
Putting the angles back to back to cut slots that align is the absolute thing. Awesome and thanks!
I def just made some notes with screenshots about that as well.
The waterfall edge looks great. Your video was very helpful, not confusing, or condescending (as some others can be) Thank you!

@@dainermade Hey! Thanks for the sub... you can be astounded by my utter dickheadery with computers....
Miter grief is a thing and this video does a great job of showing how to keep sane.
Deadset legend mate, the trench idea makes so much sense. Love the honest humour to. Ta Stevo
Excellent video mate. I'm a Kiwi from across the ditch and we love the type of authentify your video showed. Well done and thank yoiu.
Bloody nice design and tutorial, given me some ideas ;)
Glad to hear it!

love your work bud, amazing amount of effort in producing the slabs alone! Really liking your style and attention to detail.

LOOKS Great Mark can't wait to see the End result
Pretty good mate, never done one before and now have to do one for a customer. This has given me a couple more ideas. Thanks 👍🏻👍🏻

Amazing techniques bro... Thankyou for sharing.... I'm learning a lot from your videos...
Good stuff mate. Great to see a good idea work.
That's a really interesting technique!
Mate that was super informative. I will be having a go for sure. That's for the upload. Just subscribed
Wonderful.. Oh you've reached the 🇬🇧
I saw a while ago that doing 45° for joining is better and lines up correctly when the angle is 44.9° not exactly on a 45.
But this looks amazing
Just come across your channel. Loving it mate 👍🏻
That's awesome brother, nicely done...i been wanting to try a waterfall edge, really nice trick with the router 👍👊
@@dainermade oh man, that stinks 😒😳...I'll have to order some more and get one out too you
Beautiful work mate.
What an awesome tip!!! Thank you for sharing! Cheers!
Looks like you've got it all well sorted. So many things can go wrong, it's a massive pain in the butt 👍
@@dainermade Yep, that's one of the things that can happen. If you check the angle of the blade with a speed square, you have to make sure the speed square is square to the blade. If it is off square slightly, you end up with a blade which is set higher than 45°.

Awesome tip for those that don't have a biscuit joiner, and those that do. Personaly I think this is a better method for a mitre join like this 👍
Brilliant❤
Looks amazing
Nice trick !!! Thanks 😃
Great idea. Yeah, the longer bit is a potential issue. Also, fill the entire trench with glue and give it extra time to dry. Right (maximize the connection with biscuits / glue)?
@@dainermade please do! I’ll watch it!

Hooked on Wood does a review on a Chinese sourced dowel jig that he swears by.

Cant wait to see the finished product. Is going to be a hallway table?
Been waiting for this... Cheers mate. 👨❤️💋👨👨❤️💋👨👨❤️💋👨
Wanka lol cheers bud you rock!

Anybody have a link for a router bit that is long enough to cut the biscuit groove like that? Want to make sure I get one that goes far enough to not cut through the wood.
Hello, it is called a slot cutter bit
Thank you! @@dainermade
Very cool but instead of biscuits why didn't you cut a piece of wood to fit like a spline??
Oh, I see someone asked this :)
What router bit is that?
I was actually checking for square with you! Nice work with the router...the waterfall edge turned out just right. Those metal right angle brackets are a great way of clamping your work to maintain square! I am assuming that the pallet wood is a combination of soft and hard wood?
