A Second Life for Pallets: Turning Discarded Wood into a Gorgeous Coffee Table 

This man is a master! He works his tools as an extension of his hands ! Amazing!

Never seen pallets so clean and come apart so easily.

Very satisfying to be able to sit down and enjoy something you made with your own hands.

Just to think about how many skids I have burned in my wood stove makes me feel like a criminal. This man is a wonderful artist and he will never be out of work. Greetings from Toronto.

My husband used to work in a shop where they made cam shafts and he'd disassemble the crates and bring the wood home. We made a small fence in the front and back of our yard in a mobile home park with the wood. We even got "Best yard in the park" because of it.

Nicely done! Good to see pallets repurposed like this. Usually they’re treated as disposable. This just goes to show what craftsmanship can do to remake things.

My best friend who owned an acre plot in a wealthy neighbor neigborhood, worked at an industrial manufacturing warehouse where he got to take home as many free pallets home with him as he liked. And as it was, they had plenty of pallets to go around. So after he fenced in his lot, he set up some big tents on the property to house the pallets and he hired laborers and gave them all the safety equipement they would need on top of giving them tools designed to break down pallets. And he offered them a tent with cots to sleep on, a propain water heater set on low so no one got burned. He brought budget food that they prefered and a Colman two burner stove. It was a total campsite. He told them to keep it down at night so the neighbors don't call the cops. But they did anyway. But as soon as the cops saw the tents and the pallets, the tables, and the pallets they new they weren't tresspasser. The cops talked to my friend and all was ok. In 3 weeks time, there was enough wood to build two houses even though the planks were too short. However, then every night before going home, he would use a planer and a finger joiner and before gluing up the boards he heat treated the lumber so that it would never rot and or be eaten by "any" bug. So after the glue up he planed the 2. 25 X 5" wide sections of wood down to exactly 2"X4" rough cut, which is exactly how he wanted it. With a laborer, he was done in 6 weeks, saving himself $18,000 in lumber costs for a 2k sq ft main house and a 100 sq ft rental in the back.

This is a beautiful work of art!!! If I had not watched this video with my own eyes I would never believe it was built from pallets!!

Wow, the craftsmanship of this piece is exquisite! The labor you put into this beautiful table is breathtaking, the results are uniquelly perfection!!

It is good to see people use things like old pallets to make beautiful things instead of buying new wood . As far as I have seen from wood pallet projects there is nothing wrong with this wood and it is better to make something with it instead of cutting down more trees and I am sure the satisfaction people get making beautiful things from these palettes is very rewarding.

the word Stunning comes to mind . That truly is a Beautiful desk . You are a true artist and can certainly turn Ugly into Something Beautiful . If I had the money I would love to buy it , but beauty has a price .

WOW AMAZING! LOVE THE DESIGN TOO. !!!!! What an artist.

I love the movie set, fake grass and plastic cup. You spare no expense

'measure twice, cut once.' (Uncle Jimmy)...Gorgeous!

Omg!! That is so beautiful. All the grain show so magnificently!! Blessings on you always! 😊🙏🇺🇸

Nearly 60 years ago I was taught basic woodworking skills and metalwork skills in school. I never got a job in any of those industries but doing my own home maintenance over the years, the skills have stayed with me. Nice to watch this video, Thanks.

Beauty!!

ah we create what we need, wonderful

Breath taking piece of art💕💕💕 And to just to see him use pallets that people take fo4 granted on the side of the road, after they don't see any use for them... Amazing God has blessed him with a very artistic and creative mind, and a string will power to produce anything he visualize. 💗
