John I truly like this workshop content your introducing not only in making things out of what is considered by most as junk but showing how to do it," great" I really like it," thanks."
Andreas Chapman - Andreas, it is my pleasure. Hopefully they may encourage people to use more reclaimed materials and show them how easy it can be to create something useful - rather than buy. All the best. 😊👍🏻🛠
Just finished our renovations and I have a pallet lying on the front lawn. I've just completed my workbench (3 metres long ) and it weighs a ton. I can get as much pallet wood as I need from our local hardware store because they put it out in their car park for people to take away for firewood usually. Good pallets too.I remember that we used old pallets to make picket fences when I was younger. A lot of the poorer people used them. Looking forward to watching the projects mate.
Nomad - We have a lot of ideas we are going to try out. Finding good quality pallets here in the UK for free is becoming harder. They have a value now and places are saving and selling them in bulk. We have lots of ideas coming up. 😉👍🏻🛠
I used to refurb pallets on piece work. We had to get our repair boards (from old pallets in our own time). When you work for a skinflinting boss you find a fast efficient way of working. We used an oak bar, around 1 1/2 inch square with the corners chamfered down to make a octagon shape. Then slot them in the gaps and STAMP very hard with your foot to prise the boards up. Fast and sudden as you like. Amazingly it worked at least 75% of the time.theres a couple reasons why pallet nails are hard to pull. New ones are often made of unseasoned wood and they shrink tight around any nails as they dry out. And annular ring nails are used or nail gun nails with wire tabs that act like barbs. Normal nails pull too easy and pallet would fall apart. Bacon factory pallets were worst, crawling with maggots in summer....
Great videos John, I've been taking some pallets apart recently and have also been cutting through the nails with a hacksaw, the only difference is I drive a brick bolster in the joint on the ends as well to make it easier to get the hacksaw blade in, that way you don't lose to 5 inch pieces at each end and get 4 foot lengths of timber. Keep up the good work John.
I come across spectacular pallets at work...We get a few at Amazon. Maple, oak, poplar. Boards 6inch wide split easily. If you have to pry up the nails and boards in the center....After cutting the ends. C clamp a junk board on the top of the board you want to save. It adds a little back bone to the wood your trying to recover. Another great tip. Pressure wash the pallets beforehand. Your wood plane will thank you.
Pallet wood is excellent for many projects. I have seen them used from raised beds to houses. You may want to check if they have HT (high temperature) treatment markings on them. Most pallets here in the states are HT as opposed to the older arsenic pressure treatment which makes them safe for vegetable gardens.
PS - See if you can get a contact with your local mail centre (down past Tesco). They usually have a lot of unwanted pallets - I used to get mine from the same source here! ;-)
lefty940 - Haha. I think that one came with me smoothound fishing one time and get wet measuring fish.🤷🏻♂️ Well spotted. We’ve got a lot of new ideas we want to try out on here this year. Let’s see how it goes. 😉👍🏻
@@thefishlockerworkshop Haha i know because my tape is exactly the same lol. I don't know how you find the time please keep it up you have really great channels
minandmotion - It depends on what they’re like. If they’re solid with no cracks and don’t distort the the Wood I leave them as they are quite attractive character pieces. Otherwise I avoid them, they are often brittle and don’t plain or work well. Drilling or screwing into them can cause them to break and split. 😉👍🏻
minandmotion - I am currently editing a video where I talk a little bit about the knots in the wood and why I sometimes leave them or cut them out. 😉👍🏻
John - Always handy to recycle wood. Have you considered using something like I received from my father years ago. He always called it an Amish nail puller, don't ask me why, but check this link for an idea to pull pallet nails instead of cutting off five to ten inches of reusable wood for your projects like you explained at 02:00. ~~ Crescent 19" Nail Puller - 56 - Crescent Nail Puller - AmazonSmile
I'm from Bradford, your accent sounded close to Dewsbury one on camera. Keep up the good work! Really enjoy this channel. Perfect blend of openness/Honesty, information and also entertainment.
Battierwaif71 - Thank you very much. We are just sharing what we love doing. Honest, simple fishing and information. My wife and I did live near Dewsbury for a while many years ago. 😆 I like it here more.
Looking forward to this series. Havn't heard the expresion "owt fer nowt" for years. My Mom say's that. She is from near Doncaster. All the best.
RHINO 54 - Haha. I am often told that I’m from an older time and place. 😆

GOLDSMITHEXILE 2016 - 🤢 baco pallets. That’s a really good idea with the piece of oak wood. I’d be really interested to see that. 😉

Michael Blackstock - I’m not sure what they are here compared to there. I’ll do some research. 😉👍🏻
Nice one John - a Man after my own heart! I've made all sorts of stuff out of old pallets! Well recycled!

@@thefishlockerworkshop Same here mate hardly getting out these days
Well done on achieving your first 1k on this channel great content as always. all the best
- Thanks Jason, hopefully people enjoy this channel as much as they do the other. :)
i have one and it works great
if you make it tall enough and tilt the top of the handle forward saves your back and shoulder
Les Tippett - I like it 😉
May I suggest a pallet buster which you can purchase from Toolstation there about £21 pounds I find it great for removing the boards
Or arrange bits if wood, and then hit another one with a mallet. Any ideas on how to carry the buggers?
Great video/series 👍 out of interest why do you cut the big knots out?

make yourself a pallet buster
save alot of hand sawing
check online for designs
- I've seen a few designs made out of scrap iron.
@@thefishlockerworkshop Please do make one, if it's not too much bother.
Where abouts in Yorkshire are you from?
- North Yorkshire. ;)
