This is how a Jedi dismantles a wooden pallet. Two tools, no damage, job done. Great work.

@TightwadWorkshop 2 года назад

Unfortunately they don't ALL come apart this easily. The ones with solid wooden blocks (rather than compressed sawdust) usually tear the boards up a bit.

@dasdasdatics420 3 месяца назад

Euro pallets are some of the hardest to dismantle. This system is excellent

@TightwadWorkshop 3 месяца назад

Their hardest sub-type for disassembly are the ones that use solid wood spacer blocks, once the nails have become a little rusty.

This is my preferred method as sometimes the only place and time I have to dismantle a pallet is at night in the basement. Less noise and mess than using power tools.

@fmhuonker1838 2 года назад

I like this way better than just cutting the nails because there could be forgotten parts of the nails in the wood which could harm other tools used to cut the boards. This way you are sure all the nails are gone.

@TightwadWorkshop 2 года назад

It's slower, but more thorough. Occasionally I miss a nail and have to re-sharpen my plane though.

@LtDan-hr1pb 2 года назад

This is a very honest recording. The broken bucket at the end proved that. One other hand tool I would suggest would be a rubber mallet as not to damage the surface of the wood when a hammer is needed for other than hitting nails.

@TightwadWorkshop 2 года назад

Thanks Dan, the broken blue bucket is the reason why I have a green bucket in the video thumbnail image. :-)

@dennisstolwijk7906 Год назад

I got a wood stove in the house and those compressed sawdust blocks are really good burning material for it! They burn very long and produce very little smoke, it is a little worse on the chimney though, so you have to make sure to have it sweeped every season!

@richdad360 Год назад

Thank you for that information. I was wondering how to sell them but I'll keep them for myself.

@TightwadWorkshop Год назад

Maybe I've just been unlucky, but the ones I've tried in my wood stove have burned very reluctantly, with lots of smoke and a terrible smell. My house is in town, and because I try not to annoy my neighbours too much I've stopped burning the blocks. Now I feed 2 or 3 blocks per week into my garbage bin.

@bazanderson8283 Год назад

god job, I'm doing them pretty much the same way with the addition of a pallet buster (bit sore on the back after a while all that kneeling down) some pallets I come across have threaded nails which are a right PIA to get out so usually end up sawing the slats off instead

@TightwadWorkshop Год назад

Yes, my own back has taken a turn for the worse a few months ago, so now I do the disassembly on top of a pair of trestles (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0VOqTW6Xq9k.html). These EPAL pallets are usually pretty good, but sometimes you'll find one with all of the nail ends "clinched" over on the underside. I usually just cut those ones up for firewood, and sift the nails out of the ashes afterwards. :-)

@chesterpanda Год назад

These EPAL pallets fall apart very easily when handling with forklift, especially after taking a boat ride. The worst block pallets are the ones from Vietnam or from Communist China. I don’t know the wood the Vietnamese use, but it has a similar color pattern to cedar and makes for some unique looking designs. The People’s Republic is just generic pine like most American Pallets.

@TightwadWorkshop Год назад

That makes sense, considering how many of them that I've found with a "missing leg"! 😀 At my end of their lifecycle, the "sawdust block" type are much easier to disassemble than the ones which use solid wooden blocks - do you get the same results with your forklift?

@andreapannini2697 Год назад

bravo !! io ci ho messo molto di piu; ce da dire che questo pallet è di recente costruzione, perche se fosse vecchio di 10 anni non lo smonti cosi bene

@TightwadWorkshop Год назад

Sono d'accordo! Una volta che le tavole si asciugano e i chiodi si arrugginiscono, è molto più probabile che finisca con un mucchio di schegge e legna da ardere!

@SuperJellicoe 2 года назад

Another observation is the kind of nails that are being used. Spiral shanks can frustrate your day. A Canadian invention, they dont like to be removed, so resort to a reciprocating saw. Ggrrrrrrr, lets giter done!

@TightwadWorkshop 2 года назад

Unfortunately they'll always get you one way or the other. If you cut them off and leave the shanks in the wood, you can't plane the boards...

@david9783 2 года назад

Cut them down to 1 inch or so with a small pair of bolt cutters. Then they'll drive out easily with your hammer, making them easier to pull out from the other side.

Why has your pallet blocks come of so easy without splitting and the nails so straight, looks set up. You don't need the crowd bar when you got a claw hammer to do same task of removing nails

@TightwadWorkshop 2 года назад

The sawdust blocks hardly ever split, but the wooden blocks usually give me big trouble! I started using a crowbar for pulling nails when I broke the wooden handle in a hammer once, also the crow bar is longer and gives more leverage (for easier pulling). As for the set up, this was the best out of the 3 EPAL disassembly videos that I recorded. I still had 1 split board, but the other 2 made a lot more firewood!

Yes, these are EPAL pallets. And since the EU has their own particular way of doing things, the standard design for an EPAL specifies both the type and number of nails that are allowed to be used to build one. www.epal-pallets.org/eu-en/load-carriers/epal-euro-pallet
