one of my young homies asked if I could build him a quarter pipe out of pallets and I told him how hard it would be and to just save money for wood. this video helps me explain why
Yo, the first ever half pipe I saw in person was built just like this.... It was hidden in some woods connected to my neighborhood... I had to be 7/8 yrs old. You could tell it had been their for a good minute. I was so blown away from the fact of it being there and I never came across it. And the craziest thing I remember and I've told this story several times. The transition and flat was built with 2 x 4s..
We did this 20 years ago, we took over a "quick-save" car park, wich is was a super market in the uk, and turned it into a skate park using pallets, thanks for the blast to the past 👍
I built my whole mini ramp from pallets lol actually thought about doing a mock logo using the keen ramps but draw the logo as pallet wood for the ramp and DIY Ramps instead of keen ramps 😂
I bet if you doubled it and put more underneath perpendicular to the ones on the surface it would be strong enough. I want to try this but don’t have space to keep it 😢
Just out of curiosity (cause yes, I’m gonna make one🤘), don’t”all use just a standard side piece template? I have some extra random diamond plate steel and polycarbonate from an old speaker box project that I can use. Just not sure what that curve looks like.
flip the ramp over. take some beer cans and stomp them flat then use them to fasten the surface boards together right down the middle fasten bottom two 3 to 4 etc.. i bet it wont flex nearly as bad
Pallets started it all off for me as a kid 😂 my aunty got.me a tool kit and she lifted a pallet out of the skip on the way home one day, the builders had to cut it up to fit the car lol built a work bench in my childhood homes coal shed it still says will erected these selves 2001 😂😂 but anyway made me realise from a young age I loved working with my hands and now am a coach builder by trade
Is there anything risky about treated pallet wood that we should be aware of? I feel like maybe the sawdust could be more hazardous that your standard store bought plywood.
@t3r083 yah the pallet wood might be pressure treated with a chemical bath and that stuff isn't great to get in your system. Should really use gloves to handle it. Even a splinter can get you sick. If I did this to last I would sand and paint it at the end.
There's a mini ramp near me built like this, the whole thing is made with 1x decking material with skatelite on top. Thing's built like a brick shithouse, fun ramp.
Build a pallet using only quarter pipes
This comment made my day
Thats the move
Build a pipe using only quarter pallets.
I love how you guys are a ramp company, but keep making diy ramps to help people who are not able to afford it make their own things
I truly believe this is why they are one of the biggest. The selflessness involved in such content is appreciated and admired 😊
I showed this video to my OSHA rep and he crushed my phone in one hand
you have an osha rep at your work? screw that

Crazy way to use a saw at 9 minutes. I wouldn't risk it. That pallet on the ground looks like a better cutting area. Stay safe, love you guys.
He was feeling naughty
😂😂😂choppahstyle

one time a built a quarter pipe using a few layers of left over 1/8" laminate wall paneling...did not go well
Pallet as the deck was the cherry on top! Nice execution me bois 🎉
You guys gotta chilllll, I’m running out of space to store all the shit I build after watching these vids 😂. Definitely building one 👌
I’ve had this idea for awhile. Love these vids. I woodwork with recycled wood and ply is something I never find for free/used
"nobody is going to by the way" dude it's so pretty though, and it's free -- how can we not?

Even the failed ideas are super interesting and there are lessons to take away from them.

Built a box out of pallets once and had to break some of them apart; it is indeed really time & effort consuming plus had limited tool access.
8:58 Eyeball gets it on first try. Like I said last time, it's always great to see a master at work.
eyeballing that cut so precisely was really impressive wth haha
True. I actually prefer to eye my transition than do the formula sometimes. As in if want extra steep or extra mellow rather than the perfect formula
another transition side placed underneath the slats in the middle of the quarter should help with the give, in theory
Pallet Nails (Twist) are "Fun" to pull out of dry oak. 😁 Using Double Head form nails on ramps looks Punk Rock.
I love how dale is so caring

I fucking love this channel
& super wanna buy your shit
“Full on framer” #THEMAN STAYWOKE
Put a sheet of that ply in the background over it 👌🏼
Wish I could work for you guys, this job looks so fun
It probably is very fun me too
Could you guys do a pallet slapstick? Or a DIY version ?
please do a contest type video banging ith all the obstacles you are making for the friday crazy creations.

I got a splinter just watching this video
Hey bros you need to get a nice orbit sander and sand it down really good and that would be a solid ramp, maybe put some wood laquer
What kind of pallet were those signs from? So maybe it should be 90% made out of a pallet
Whered you find a pallet made out of road signs
one more support in the back and thing would be mint
7:38 its ohio baby 😂😂😂
No seat belt on the motor, you're fired ha ha

This was pretty fucking awsome..
I have a butt load of 7ft hardwood pallets, maybe i will do this !! How heavy is it ??
@viracocha03 looks like they used about 2 and half pallets to make it so I'd wager it weighs about 2 pallets maybe alittle more?
idk of any pallets that have plywood cut with a perfect radius for a quarter pipe!
It was just a square sheet we cut it out of that
You guys could garner a lot more money pegging each other on the hub rather than making wonky ramps.
Hahahahaha hahahahahahahaha
😂 wow! Hahahava
@@keenramps came here for ramp related comments, left with intrusive thoughts
Really cool
The way you're handling power tools gives me nightmares
I think imma try doing this but I will add coping and add more backing
Yeah the studs fell out super easy make sure you put some support back there! But it is a cool feeling and sound
Got to have like a brace every 3 inches
this is really cool!
Yo what's good bro, skate some time .or bring some ramps by and skate !
I would have at least put skate lite on it 🤷🙄
It looks like a bmx kicker prolly weighs a ton
Does Dale ever wear a different shirt? Or does he film 100 videos in 1 day?
Prison voice hell yeah
Haven’t clicked on a video that fast in a while…
Building anything out of "free" palettes is the best incentive to get a job, imho. Great video though.
Yeah Cory for real needs a job 🤣
You guys should lowkey sell this
It breaks too easily but maybe we could make a more sturdy one
Random stack of pallets that just happened to already have the quarter pipes drawn on the ply 😂
They weren’t drawn it was a square sheet
he traced an existing side onto the pallet piece
Idc how jank it is, I'm building this 🤣
I mean, if you work at a place that junks a lot of pallets, it kinda is a hack.
100% pallets except for the street sign.
Build a quarter pipe with popsicle stick
Should have put the ribs in.
Signs=pallets
been watching dale since he bled and put the pic as his yt pic
Hi :)
@@keenramps hey
7:31 no... no you couldnt
Someone triggered 🤣
@@keenramps 🤣
Seeing as how you’re using the road signs, that is not 100%
Y’all gentrified the quarter pipe. Lol jk.
The skater owned and operated ramp company gentrified ramps
god the camera dude doesnt shut tf up ever huh
Nope
1156th view gang wya
You guys showing how to make ramps and stuff, makes be want to buy the ramps y’all sale. Rather give y’all the business
Duct tape the camera guy's mouth
imagine andy anderson complaining about every little flaw. yall are wack bro. just skate
We literally skated lol
don't skip breakfast next time if it makes you this grumpy
With plywood on the side?
That’s not fully pallets… but here’s a “you tried, but lied” trophy.
Hate all you want, but it’s click bait.
