Watching you bring old pallets back to the beauty that no ones else sees remarkable. I am learning a lot from watching your videos and hope to see much more. Great job. Thank you for sharing ( Stay Safe ) .
Holy crap! It is so very important to always keep an open mind because then the thing that happened to me just now happens more often! I obtained a golden nugget of useful information I did not have before; Its possible to have pipe clamps too tight!! I seriously never considered that before now and I am kicking myself in the ass for not realizing it! I couldve saved myself quite a lot of knuckle and eardrum damage from pounding on stubborn glue-ups! Thanks so much Danier!!
The wood tones are always amazing! This is going to be the "mother of all dining tables"? Love to see you enjoying your work! Looking forward to this build!
Great video once again Mark!!! You asked what a shit ton of pallets in metric converts to imperial and I think I have an answer. It took me a while to figure it out, but give or take a few pounds, it is a SHIT TON of pallets in Imperial!!! :)
New subscriber!!!!! To assist with the metric to imperial conversion you asked for @ 3min 16sec. So 1600mm is 62.9 inches and 900mm is 35.4 inches. Love your content mate. All the way from South Africa.
New to your channel, Enjoyed your table, looks amazing. I'm cutting a bunch of slats for a birdhouse today, not going to lie the table saw kind of makes me nervous. But hey, I will give it a go. TFS, have a creative, inspired week xoxoSandy
That is awesome mate, well done and great video on these beast slabs brother ...🤣😂 also I watched the beginning like 6 times just because I felt star struck with my sticker up in your shop 🥰🤩🍻 cheers mate
Hola! 🖐 Really good video, of course there are many videos on "how to" get these glue ups done but I always learn something new. I appreciate how you calm the nerves that these slats will straighten out when clamping them together. I picked up a couple of good tips such as the special and unique glue spreader, using small cut offs to "fill in", best and not the least is that slide move to get from one end of the piece to the other 😂 Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👊
Hi Mark, I'm just starting out with making some jigs first. Can you tell me where you sourced the clamps you are using. You do mention that is just below but I can't find it. I bought some smaller ones, real cheap and nasty, two snapped on first use. Keep up the good work, I am inspired. Thanks
New subscriber! Awesome. I'm looking to build a TV lift cabinet. And was thinking of using 18mm ply cut at 45's rather than butt joint them (to avoid the side of the ply being visible). But I'd probably need a biscuit jointer, and it's a farce. But I reckon using reclaimed pallet wood using this method is perfect. Just need to figure out how to make those clamps! Thanks man!
As an officious Brit overseeing the activities of our former colony and its progress, I hereby inform you that a metric shit ton of pallets in the Queen's measurement system...is a "buggerload". To date Dainsey, I must now be on about 20 pallets. Whenever the wife upsets me, I go out and rip a pallet. Is this a known therapy? (Waiting for some rain to go and finish my workbench!)
I wonder if instead of that barrier you used to keep the pallets from sticking to your table, if you used melanine with mold release spray it might be repeatable and easier? Figure if that works for expoxy maybe it would work well for wood glue.
@@dainermade The very same. So good to see you on youtube mate. I was looking to make some furniture out of pallets and you were the second channel i found. It took me a couple of minuets for it to sink in. Love your chennel mate, keep it up. Hope you are doing well
Hi, Mark great videos are totally inspirational ....I have watched them all over and over again... totally hooked can you please clarify what width are all your slats did you say 1.5 centimetres/15mm what width /depth are they ?? Thanks Rob.
Im curious mate, have you ever thought of scarfing the boards to get the length and a cleaner join? Would take a shit load longer... Im not meaning timber framing scarf joints, just a 60 degree cut on each piece then glued.
What is the min thickness you would rcommend? I would like to do something similar but use it as a cladding for the front face of my shed. I think the wood tones are awesome.
lolol Mate love ya style ..lol BTW i learnt a while ago to use those silicon things ..lol I use the silicon brush, its awesome, dont have to worry about cleaning it as the glue just peals off lolol Well done though man, and the Pallet wood shuffle (thats what ya should call it ) when ya slide back :P )
If you happen to see this, and sorry if I missed it the video, But what kind of wood is this made of? Here in Euro land hardwood pallets are few and hard to get cheap.
I noticed in an earlier video you said you didn’t sand or plain the glue edges first. You did in this build. Is that a change of philosophy or project specific.
any chance u can give the dimensions of the of wood you're cutting? heard you 1.5cm in thickness what about the width-length? after viewing this video numerous times I feel like giving it a go. keep up the good work!
Metric shit-ton in the US is simply a “shit load,” one of the more useful technical terms I learned in the US Navy. Is “shuffle shuffle” a replacement for “check square?” Darlington, South Carolina USA
Banging mark. I've made a outdoor bar and clad it in pallet wood which was cut to groups of same widths but all different thicknesses so you end up with tight joints but textured face. Now onto the top. I have pallet wood plus some small cuttings of oak, meranti and iroko wood worktops which are too small for anything else but cut up would be good with the pallet wood. I notice you cut your timber to all the same dimensions. Some of my timber is already dimensioned to about 10mm thick. But this would take 50 layers to get my 500mm final width. So my plan is to group several thicknesses. Have you done it using different thicknesses. As long as your row is all the same it should b ok
My bar top is made. It's got a roof so is semi covered. And a cover will be made for it but it will live outside. Not sure what finish to put on it. I've seen many options. Paint a layer of clear epoxy so it's fully weatherproof and has a glass like finish, use a poly yacht varnish, or some kind of oil finish. Any suggestions?
Great stuff! Question: that turpentine at the end, does the finish end up looking like that, or did you basically just temporarily hydrate it? (I like that look!)
Great work again. How thick is the slap? What I mean is how thick do you cut each piece of wood to to give you the height of the slab when it's completed? Looks around 5 - 8cm or something. Thanks
@@dainermade so the process goes something like this. 1. Put straight edge on timber with jig and table saw. 2. Cut them to set depth (between 40 and 80mm) table saw. 3. Use thicknesser to clean up sides and take down to 15mm width. 4. Glue up. Am I missing anything? Cheers
Hey I may be wrong but 1600 mm x 900 mm equals 1 440 000 square mm. So 1 440 square cm, which means around 2 232 square inches. But I am used to using only the metric system, not imperial haha :)
Cus I'm a bit of a sad bastard I can tell you a standard pallet is 1200mm x 1000mm. I could also tell you many more pallet sizes, but then I'd become a really sad bastard! I'd love to do the shuffle whilst gluing up in my workshop, but I'd go ass over tit with all the crap I have on the floor 🙄😁
@@dainermade that metal detector in the description is unavailable on Amazon now. I’ll look at some reviews and go down the rabbit hole I guess. Thanks for replying sir. God bless you and your family

Dunno why, but the "Shuffle Shuffle" made me think of Chump's "Truffle Shuffle" in the Goonies ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-V-Ln03xgaUc.html
