- NOTE
I originally made this with the intention of listing it for sale locally.
While I would love to be able to share those results with you, My Grandmother loved it and I decided I would much rather give it to her instead.
This brought me so much more joy/value than I could have ever received monetarily. (Hence Priceless)
I hope you enjoyed the process and stick around for more videos coming soon! Thank you for watching!

This project was challenging.
Not technically speaking, but mentally.
At every step, I would uncover more imperfections.
More reasons to become discouraged.
To want to consider it a failure.
To give up.
Sometimes it's about overcoming. Not perfection.
I needed this lesson again.
While there were many mistakes along the way, I am proud.

No music! The sounds of the tools cutting and sanding the wood is way better than any background song you can throw on.
Unless it’s AC/DC
Priceless! 😆
Not the sanding tho 😂
When Johnny Tightlips says something ... it's gotta be important because otherwise he'd never say a thing ... and its true just the sound of the tools is way better than anyone talking or any music ... beautiful work!
10:02 you were very meticulous to handle every tiny flaw very carefully, congratulations. this is the lesson i learned from your video. everything is worth it when we are determined to transform it like this waste pallet you gave it a new life once more much stronger than the original. wish you success with many DIY projects. i have done many projects from recycling old pallets very simply without electrical equipment.
Thank you for sharing!!
That "sigh" when you realized you had cut the wrong tab off the leg made me so much better about getting out and trying these projects on my own. Even someone as talented as you still makes some mistakes so it's going to be okay if I do as well.
YES EXACTLY!!!!! Get out there and make some dust! We all start somewhere and mistakes are nothing more than an opportunity to learn. 🫂
I don't feel like it does the audience any favors to hide my mistakes.
Being a maker doesn't mean you are always perfect, in fact quite the opposite.
Mistakes/issues happen all the time, and what differentiates the great from the rest is how they handle/overcome the mistakes when they happen.
I don't personally feel as though I'm "great" just yet... but I certainly am working towards that goal and always aim to improve. ❤️
The part where you removed the dried glue from the table top reminded me of the times when I used to cover the palm of my hand with Elmer’s glue, wait for it to dry, and then peel it off; that was very satisfying.
Thank you for sharing!!!!
I hoped it would be satisfying to watch since it is quite fun to do haha
I remember doing that in around 6th grade in 75's time frame lol!!!!
amazing work and video. Perfect speed, no useless music, just perfect. Thanks for inspiration
Thank you for watching!
Think I found my new ASMR wood working channel. Just like BigStackD with his metal working, this is just simple trade work. No flashing and talking… great job.
Thank you very much! I appreciate you more than I can say!!
I honestly love the musicless approach! The sounds of the working environment are oddly soothing. Looks great my freind, keep it up!
Thank you so much!
I'm having a ton of fun making these videos and I'm very glad they are being enjoyed!
Measure once, cut 7 times is my motto! :-) BTW, scraping of glue, use an axe head as a scraper as long as it is somewhat sharp it will make the work so easy as the axe head had a good weight behind it.
Oooh I've never considered trying that!
Thank you for sharing and watching!!
No music. I like hearing the sounds of the tools.
Thank you for letting me know! Tool sounds will always be a part of my videos!
I am just trying to determine if the people want more/something to break up the auditory monotony haha.
Leaning towards revisiting older videos and adding voiceovers/music as i continue to grow here.
Pleeeeeease no voiceovers. As I said, keep it as it is. I love this video because there's no music and no talking.
I know what you're doing and why you're doing it.
Stay as you are,,,unless I'm outnumbered. :)
Outstanding work. May I ask your thoughts on the jointer you used? Thanks.
Thank you!
Overall, I feel like it's a very solid machine.
I've had it ~2 years now and have had zero issues during that time. I can say that for longer pieces of work, it leaves a bit to be desired compared to a larger floor standing unit but given my shop space/budget it does rather well.
“Sometimes it's about overcoming. Not perfection.” A lesson I think many of us need to be reminded of time and time again. Thanks for sharing this with us. Subscribed🤎
Thank you Josie! ❤️
I loved the sigh after you cut the wrong side of the leg off. Great content.
At the very least, I hope to make it relatable/fun to watch. 😅
Thank you for sharing/being here! I appreciate it very much
Nice ASMR. What were the tools you used to remove the nails from the pallet boards?
Thank you!
I just used a crow bar/various snips and hammered them back out when I could(if I remember correctly).
There are tools specifically made to "shoot" nails back out, but I didn't want to purchase something I wouldn't use very often haha
I could watch videos like this all day, something so therapeutic about them :)
I am very glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
i clicked on this video expecting to see all of those nice brand new pallets i see on most projects. these are the pallets they usually give away for free
Indeed! The pallets I had were certainly worse for wear when I got them. Haha
@@thazemakes every time I go get some for free I know they’re gonna look like hell. But many videos you see here they look like they were just put together
Gosh, now I feel grateful I get the good and the ugly for free.
What did you used at the video timing 16:10 to polish the surface?
I used some alcohol to remove the dust/clean the surface after sanding!
Thank you for asking!
This is one of the most pleasing videos ever... Including the sorting process before glue up. Well done!
I can't begin to explain how much your kind words mean to me.
I am almost done with my next video! Just working on some final decisions/polish.
I hope to see you around and appreciate that you took time out of your day to comment.
Thank you so much!!!!!
Brilliant, amazing work
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!!
I appreciate you!
Muy buen trabajo mi amigo. Solo consultarte el relleno negro de q esta compuesto gracias
Gracias amigo, Te lo agradezco!
Es super pegamento negro!
@thazemakes es como un producto siliconado parece
Looks great! I kinda built the same a year ago
Thank you!
I'm glad to hear that!!
Making is a wonderful thing!
what glue did you use to glue the boards together and to seal the gaps?
Thank you for asking!
I used titebond original for the majority of the glue up.
To fill the voids, I used black CA glue and some activator spray.
No music.
Very pretty wood. Not usually a metal legs wooden top guy, but it looks great. 👍 subscribed.
Thank you!
I appreciate you and am thankful to have you here.
This is awesome. Im not familiar with some of the tools. Could you list them by chance?
Certainly! (if i missed something let me know!)
In no particular order:
- Jointer
- Planer (also called a thicknesser if across the pond)
- table saw
- Router (w/ Chamfer and Round Over Bits)
- Drill/driver set
- Angle Grinder w/Cut off Wheel
That's a lot of work. Beautiful table!
Thank you!!!
Looks good
Thank you!
Nice table. Tool noises better than music.
Thank you!
What is your outfeed/assembly table make of? I like the top a lot
Thank you!!!!
Honestly, it's mostly 2x4 construction with a 3/4in mdf top/lower shelf. About 4ft x 4ft square.
I just put a round over on the top edges and then coated it with a few thick coats of poly. Helps prevent it from swelling up/becoming useless and also helps prevent wood glue from sticking to it.
It is a cheap and very effective solution!
Get a cheap spice grinder for the charcoal coloring. Should make quick work next time or I’ve seen black hot glue sticks used too. Work easy for the same results. Great work I must say.
i am definitely looking into some of the black hot melt sticks for the future. Seems much easier for a very similar quality result w/ smaller voids.
Thank you for taking the time to comment and share! I appreciate you!
@@thazemakes love the table. Keep it up
Stunning work, incredibly time-consuming. I wonder how long it would take to build a farm table dining room style about 100 inches long 36 inches wide using the same discarded pallet material? But man, that would be something.
Too long haha
The trials we over come are experience we use in other areas. Slow and easy will pass the test every time. yes that piece is priceless I agree. If you think about it No project is bad no matter what is some one will treasure it. your talent show's with the end project well done
Thank you for the kind words Garry! I appreciate you very much!
lncredible!!!
Thank you!
NO MUSIC, the sound of work is the best sound
Any way of do it without a planner?
Of course! There are almost always multiple ways to accomplish steps.
If it were any wider, it would not have fit in my planer and I would have made a flattening sled for my router
Definitely need some jams wen ur building brother helps the vibes n mood
Just found this. Excellent work. Love it. How many hours did you have in it and what would you typically ask for a piece like this?
Thank you!
It is a bit hard to quantify the time spent because I broke down way more pallet wood than I needed and also recorded this video...
I would venture to say it would have only been 10ish hours or so of active work without the other additions. Recording easily doubled the "working time".
As far as pricing, it is highly dependent. Considering the fact that the lumber is not the highest quality and I did not make a custom base for it, my local market dictates the "fair value" somewhere in the 150-300ish range.
Although I must admit the joy of giving it to my Grandmother far exceeded any potential monetary gain.
Awesome vid brother!! A couole voiceovers to tell people what your doing and a lil jams bro amd ur golden!! Keep up the great work 💯💯
Thank you!!!!
May just have to make each video into different versions to accommodate. Seems like both are wanted haha
May I know what’s the machine you used at 2:30?
Of course! That is a thickness planer. ❤️
@@thazemakes thank you!
You crushing the coals looked like magic just hovering over it and smashing it. Made me laugh watching it.
I'm glad I could bring some joy. 😊
Thank you for watching and taking the time to let me know! I appreciate you very much!!!
Excellent video and what a satisfying result, wish I was up to that standard, i'll keep trying 👍
I appreciate your kind words!
Pallets make an appearance in my next video, and the end result is certainly more... rustic?
Just remember to be safe and have fun while you work!
What did you use to fill that? Epoxy resin and charcoal?
I tested using charcoal/resin, but I ended up using mostly black CA glue for the smaller voids/cracks.
Thank you for asking!
@@thazemakes nice man really good work. I enjoyed this video alot.
Chill Beats!
Awesome video. I like the no music or talking ASMR type video. Did you wait before glue up or just do it right away? I ask because the wood can flex if you don't wait long enough. +1 subscriber. Cheers!
They were good and dry (maybe a bit too much lol) when I started, so they should be alright?
The good news is that it is in the family and I can watch it age. So far, it still looks the same as the day I finished it. No gaps/cracks have appeared thus far.
Tip: wax your glue up table. The dried glue pops right off!
I have a coat of poly that works very well overall! They mostly pop right off, but I appreciate your tip and will give it a shot sometime soon
i put saran wrap down.
Same as trees in remote areas. They are free, you just have to invest a lot of time and energy to make it into wood but its free. It''s an exageration of course, but disasembling pallets is still too labor intensive, it's only worth it if your time is not worth too much. And if your time is not worth too much you're best investing it into getting better
I have to agree. Pallet wood just isn't worth my time these days, but the project was fun either way. 🫡
@@thazemakes ahh totally. I dissasembled one myself ages ago trying to see what could come of it. I can see how the project is fun, congrats
Joli travail, bel effet, Même avec du bois de palettes! Bravo 👍👍👏! C'est ce même bois que j'emploie!
Thank you so much!
Pallet wood is definitely tough to work with, but it can be lots of fun too.
I would love to see some of your work!
a question (from someone who doesn't do this): is it possible to just use epoxy pour on the whole surface to overcome those imperfections? ..pouring to the point where the epoxy actually produces a thin glass-like layer.. so the finishing will also be different, where you can sand down the epoxy surface and polish them for a glass finish? It could be a solution because the wood you've used don't look like they would last very long, meaning it could deteriorate over time due to its low quality to begin with..
Fantastic question! Thank you so much for asking!
Yes, encapsulating the entire tabletop was an option (an is often used on bar countertops/settings where spills are common/to be expected), however this table should never encounter liquids where it lives.
Two big reasons i decided against that course of action:
1. Epoxy was prohibitively expensive for this project. Probably would have doubled the overall cost of materials.
2. I am not a fan of "plasticy" feeling finishes. The linseed oil/ board conditioner combo I used feels nice and will protect the tabletop very well for its use case. (albeit with more maintenance than an epoxy finish would have required)
Final notes! The lumber i started with was certainly more "undesirable", but the overall longevity of the final product should be just fine. All of the lumber was milled and glued very well, Any remaining cracks/voids in the tabletop were filled entirely/stabilized, and there was adequate room left around the fasteners to allow wood movement.
TLDR; It should have a good long life in spite of the rough beginnings the materials had.
its called Applying a flood coat of epoxy. it is used to get the mirror finish you mentioned and its more durable
As the other 2 posters said, it is possible. It really depends on your budget, how it's going to be used, and the type of finish you want. Since pallet wood tends to be softer, I would think, if you were going to use this on a table that's going to get a lot of use, you'd probably want a flood coat (epoxy). But, if it's more like a hallway table (like this one), having an oil coat is totally fine (and looks GREAT).
This is an amazing bit of joinery! I understand it's a traditional Japanese joint. What was it traditionally used for? Furniture or Framing house building? I'm just curious. Thank u for sharing! Your craftsmanship is inspiring.
I believe what you are referencing is called an edge joint!
I believe it is most often used with furniture making (panel glue ups, desktops, etc..), however I will also admit I am unfamiliar with traditional japanese techniques and cannot speak on them in this context.
Thank you for asking and taking the time to watch! I appreciate your kind words very much!
Omg loved seeing the dexcom on your arm. T1D myself.
Aye!! We are out here and living our best lives! T1D as well man ❤️
i put freezer paper on my work bench when i do glue ups so i don't have to clean my work bench. just crumple it up and throw it away.
Good call out! I kinda like popping the drips off my bench though. It's satisfying 😬
Very, very, very good.
Thank you!!!
Nice job, brother. Great way to repurpose an otherwise piece of scrap 👍
Thank you for sharing!
How to tell if those are treated wood? Using treated wood for a cutting board?
Typically there will be stamping/marks on the pallets that indicate treatment types. MB (Methyl bromide) along with other chemical treatments are not safe to work with/use for home furniture, however heat treatments don't have the same issues.
Also, as an hallway/entryway table, it has not and will never ever be used as a cutting board.
I only use all natural hardwoods and food safe finishes for all my butcher blocks/cutting boards. (I.e. never pallet wood/reclaimed materials)
Make a perpendicular wood joined on both ends to ensure the tight bonds of woods, a half inch deep i think is ok. I like the nail puller and all those safety nets of power tools. 🙂
Can't it be all made of woods?😮
where did you find the legs?
I want to say they are the isemble brand hairpin legs. It's been many sleeps since then though 😬😅
This is way way better than some generic music.
I used to use a lot of "reclaimed" wood which came not from pallets, but from packaging in which packets of glass panes/ sheets are transported (free for me), personally dismantled several TONS of them over last twenty years, and cursed and swore countless times when this muffled "ping" sound came out of my planer meaning... Yeah, the blade hitting some piece of nail (or a heavy duty staple) remaining in the wood, meaning, FORK, had to replace the blade, eff it...
But then, "mustn't grumble" - THAT wood comparing to this "pallet stuff" here is like cream compared to excrements, and frankly the only good use for SUCH "pallet wood" is, if you ask me... firewood.
Cracked, stained from corroded nails, sometimes studded with tiny stones - a nightmare to work with and not really worth the trouble and time. Yes, it's "free", but then your time ain't, and the final result is just, well, UGLY. (Well, most of the time anyway). So unless the finished piece is to be painted over, or it is goint to be some workshop bench or garage shelf (or a wooden floor crate next to a metal turning lathe - or such) it's just not worth the trouble.
And, oh, by the way - this is typically second- or third-grade wood - young, often very soft (like that Brazilian pine that grows like crazy - its rings are over 1 cm/ 3/8" wide but it's soft and kinda ugly), middle of the trunk section, or full of twists and knots. And when it's some hardwood then it's cracked all the way through - like this piece seen here, at 0:40.
But I have to admit it - sometimes I happened to actually use "pallet wood" for some garden furniture/ outdoor work bench or such, but only when it was reasonably good quality pine wood that came from so-called "euro pallet" (which is head and shoulder above this disposable trash - boards are 20 mm, or 13/16th in thick and much wider that these here), or when I came across (very rarely) a pallet made of some hardwood (beech mostly) - or birch. And then, once in blue moon, some unusually-sized packaging/ pallet/ what not that came from tropical countries - a proper "exotic hard wood" - but then always a second- or third-grade one and hardly pretty (as far as it's colour is concerned - greyish, brownish, and whatever dull "colour" you can think of).
Anyway, this people's fixation with this "free trash" never ceases to, erm, "amuse" me - and reminds of this folk sculptor, Mikhail Bopposov from Yakutia who used to make, in winter (when there's a deep freeze there), sculptures from cows' DUNG. Hey, true artist knows no bonds nor limits, doesn't he?
And on this optimistic note... ;-)
Thank you for taking the time to write such an eloquent comment!
I agree with your sentiments entirely. Pallet wood is really not worth the extra effort in my honest opinion (when other hardwoods are available, of course.) If it's all one has access to, then there is nothing wrong with it, just more frustrating than it should be to work with.
I actually found a bit of oak and one singular piece of cherry on those pallets, but it was mostly the softer "junky" stuff.
Either way, it got people interested and watching.... so. It's a win in my book ❤️
@@thazemakes _"Either way, it got people interested and watching.... so. It's a win in my book"_ - precisamente, amigo ;-)
If pallet wood is all someone has, then pallet wood it'll be for him. "Someone's spam is another person's lunch" as they say... And then for some people it's this "recycle" fad - a coffee table that's as ugly as sh!t, but "hey, look at this, friends - made from PALLETS! - see how 'green' I am?" (and never mind I'm driving 4.8 litre Chevy, 99% of all the time with single occupancy... ;-)
But, exactly as you've said - people want to watch this, so _the customer is always right_ , right?
Cheers! : )
Fabulous work! I love it!
Thank you so much!
Any chance you could name the machines you used?
I would be happy to do so!
In no particular order:
-jointer
-Planer (thicknesser across the pond)
-table saw
-miter saw
-router
-drill/driver
I think that is most if not all the powered tools I used on this one.. lmk if I missed anything or if you have other questions!!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Always happy to help!!!
Very nice!
should try using a blade they use for runs on a car paint nib file might work
I love those suggestions! Thank you!!
I do use a blade as a scraper sometimes, but I'll have to look into a paint nib file as well.
Bravo bon travail 👍👍👍👍
Thank you!!
what kind of price do you think you could have gotten for it?
The "best" answer is : "Whatever someone is willing to pay."
But more accurately for my location/local economy, I was going to aim for around $2-300ish and would have accepted a decent offer.
If all premium hardwood, it would be far more likely to command a bit higher price overall.
I know blades are extra money but have you thought about just cutting nails with a reciprocating saw
That is a great option!
I wanted to use some of the larger pieces and having the heads still attached made the nails a bit easier to pull. If only using the "slats", the reciprocating saw is definitely the way to go!!
Did U Check the moisture content?
There was no real need to do so with these.
They sat in the 100+ degree heat/drought for a couple of months before I broke them down. They were DRY. 😅
new subscriber..nice work sir🏆
Thank you for supporting! So happy to see our little family is growing 🥰
Thanks
Have you thought about putting the coal into a blender or ninja type device to turn it into dust rather than hammering it?
That definitely would work much better!
I Ultimately decided that there were more effective ways to fill the voids but that experiment was not a failure. Will have to revisit again in the future haha
I've never had a deja vu moment quite like that sigh... 😂
At least I am not alone 🫡😬😂
Why did you use charcoal instead of sawdust.
I probably could have explained what i doing better 😅
I was testing out a few different materials to fill/color the voids in the slab.
If finer, charcoal would work well but I couldn't get it to the right consistency. I ended up using black ca glue for the majority of the filling/stabilizing though.
Tldr; contrast. 😬
That was the exact Question I was going to ask about the black powder filler,,,, I thought it was Charcoal !!!! Lol,,,, Just now learning the tricks of the trade.... Absolutely Amazing Videos Big Dawg!!!!
Gained a new sub! Nice work, a little music here and there or just really low would be nice too
Thank you very much! I'm glad to see the family growing 🥰
Nice very good
Thank you!
Dude....looking at the fast foward 26 seconds at start gave me back pain..... you should buy a orbital reciprocal saw.
With all your engins it's so easy making a table or a chair...
18:04 LoL jajajajjaja
I am very glad to have brought some joy your way!
I don't hide my mistakes around here.
We all make em and the best we can do is fix it/find humour in the situation.
Love the work man. Got a like comment and subscribe. Would love music or a voiceover as per your question in the video. Non the less phenomenal work keep up the grind!
Thank you for letting me know! I figured it would not hurt to ask haha
I would like to do voice-overs, but for now I'll try to add some light music to help break up the "tool sounds".
I appreciate you very much and am happy to have you here.
No music! We want to hear natural sounds of woodworking
If you put freezer paper down, glue does not stick to it.
Indeed! I intentionally let the glue fall onto the table this time though
A "strangely satisfying" attempt was made. 😬😂
No music please. Your content stands on it's own easily.
Thank you Brent! I appreciate it very much!!
Am like, oh i could do that to make money. Loooking at the tools like, hell no.
I started with smaller projects and a circular saw/drill.
Make what you can with what you have and go from there ❤️
@ Respect ❤️🙏🏽🔱
Maybe if you lightly waxed the table the glue removal would be a little easier?
Oh it wasn't difficult to remove. I finished my work bench with poly so the glue pops off pretty easily. 😬
I did it this way on purpose to hit the "strangely satisfying" parts of the brain.
Jury is out if I succeed or not I suppose. 😅
Come out quite nice, din'en it?
Honestly, it came out far better than I expected.
I was highly suspicious when evaluating the material at first, but it cleaned up nicely!!
Finding medullary rays in the oak pieces was such a happy little surprise 😬
No music
Таких досок нужно шесть и получится отличный гроб!
c'mon dude!! I'm not knocking using pallets or making furniture from them. I do the same thing but this ain't the Mona Lisa. Priceless? No.
Tell me you didn't read the description without telling me you didn't read the description.. lol
It ended up becoming a gift for my grandmother. Her joy is priceless hence the title.
Appreciate you taking the time to comment!
Have a good one!
Yes. Music.
Thank you for letting me know!
no music asmr ftw
Taking apart a pallet is always a pain in the Ass
It definitely was one of my least favorite parts of this project haha
Maybe a tiny bit of narration?
priceless? Give me abreak
Thank you for your contribution.
NO MUSIC!
Are u sure is the same wood ? mmm
Quite sure. No funny business here. Just hard work 🫡
👍
Nice job
Why not just make the top wider to accept the legs without needing to cut,file and paint
Thank you!!!!
Most of the decision was based on the design.
I wanted to make a narrower entryway table. Therefore, it had to be narrow.
If I want to make a table wider than my planer will accept, I would just have to make the top in ~12 in widths (but it can still be done)
No music...much better
No music please
Thank you for letting me know!
Priceless???? 😂
Priceless?
Indeed! (At least from my perspective) I ended up giving it away as a gift, and I can't put a price on how that feels/what It means to me.
Free pallets but thousands of dollars worth of tools 🤣. Who has that kind of equipment in their garage?
Well. I prioritized building out my shop above all else.
I don't have kids. I have driven the same car for the last 10 years. The hurricane flooding it is the only reason I'm looking for a new one now.
I live well below my means, generally speaking, and choose very carefully when/where to spend.
Everyone's situation is different, but I sacrificed quite a bit to have the nice things in my shop.
Have a good one. 🫡
Pretty basic machinery for working with pallet wood. There are plenty of other things to do with raw pallet wood like rustic shelf
What hobbies do you have? I'll gladly shit on your waste of money that could've been invested in tools.
No music please!
Music would be nice, thank you.
Great Job just didnt like the product you used to refill the holes , that black don’t look good on wood
Thank you!
The contrast was a bit extreme. For light colored wood, I don't think black is the best filler color either. 😅
