I build a farmhouse style dining table out of 52 old pallets. This was my first time working with pallet wood. The end grain butcher block style top is 3" thick, 3' wide by 6' long and the trestle base is all mortise and tenon joinery. This was quite the project and at the end of the build, I share how long everything took and all the extra costs associated with working with "free" wood. I hope you enjoy, let me know your thoughts in the comments and please get yourself subscribed to the channel.
Ryan
P.S. At the very end, I say I'm going to show some final pics and then fail to include them in the video. Apologies! :)

This was perfect as a vanity desk for me. ru-vid.comUgkxMAlHv7-BBWMrPRm5-uEoD6rtdT7SG2Qr Especially the glossy finish. Easy to cleanI was looking for something that wasn't the traditional white and with more of a modern feel. This fit the bill beautifully. I put it together with no problems, by myself in under an hour.Make sure you double check where you place the drawer tracks before screwing down. I had one track that needed to be aligned with different holes than the rest.

@helshabini Год назад

I guessed 200 hours. Close enough. You know, most tables are beautiful because the wood grain looks nice and speaks for itself. But sometimes, a piece is beautiful because it is a statement that says "someone went through all the hardship, pain, effort, and time to make something out of nothing". There are so many skills involved in making this. I can't even begin to imagine how stressful were the glue ups, how boring was the cutting and planing, or how your back and shoulders felt after sanding. Thank you for making this.

@johnpaulpatton9786 Год назад

This is awesome. Anyone in the trades needs a video like this on their page - one that breaks down everything that it takes to do their job. Customers would have a greater appreciation for the craftsmanship that goes into projects, and it would help weed out those people who believe that things are created in some magical factory for next to nothing.

I made this exact table design with my wife for our first ever venture into craft woodwork. We did use pallet wood, but lumber from a lumber yard. For our first project, it came out beautiful and we are SO proud of it! If it never sells, no big deal. We will happily keep it (unless we have to move). But it was fun as heck, a great bonding experience, and lit the fuel under the fire for us to keep building! Love the video.

@stormkhan4250 Год назад

That was an epic build, Well done! I wish I had the workshop space you do, I would be doing a heck of a lot more in there. Something to consider with your jointer and planer machines: consider replacing the cutting heads with helical cutter heads. The little square cutters all around the cutting head are carbide and last a very long time and when they do blunt then all you need to do is spend an hour or so going around all the carbide cutters with an allen key and rotate them all 90 degrees to get a 'fresh' set of cutting edges. You get 4 edges per square and that will probably last you many years. I don't know if you have a fireplace or some sort of wood burner but you might be able to burn some of that waste pallet wood (depending on the type of pallet) and the saw dust you could put into your garden beds to compost away. That would save you a bit of money instead of having to pay for having to dump it at the local garbage dump.

I’m a retired engineer and a bit on the anal retentive side. When you began to list the number of hours, cost of goods, etc. I suddenly realized if I were to ever have a table made I would reach out to you. Anyone who tracks this kind of information and can easily convey it in the video like you did is the kind of person I’d want making my table. Great job!

Thanks Greg!

At that rate, he'd have to charge you $10,000 for your table, working @ $40/hour + expenses!

@@RO8s i was wondering this myself. With the cost of electricity & man hours put in...if he was going to sell the table (or have a business selling similar pieces), what would it have to be sold for? Would €10k be breaking even or would there even be profit there? Beautiful work, absolutely love the table. Just wondering from a business prospective if this type of work is profitable? Dream job and all that😍

@@MellowMeadowsGrove Well, the "profit" is in your hourly rate. If you have an order, and you've quoted it correctly, then you have a living, until you need the next one. To make a living, in fact you are better to make high-margin, low-value products, but then you are churning out simple things all day, which isn't the dream job. I did look at it, but the prospect of making twenty loo-roll holders today, followed by thirty tea-light candle holders tomorrow sort of put me off! During lockdown (the first one) I made a sideboard (from pallets) and in the second a store-cupboard/kitchen drawer worktop to match, but I couldn't have sold them at a profit. I do have a work table specifically for making that thick table-top, and if you had one "cooking" all the time while you got on with other things, then that might make sense, but it's a slog, unless you are quick and really talented. I looked at one of Paul Sellars videos, just making a simple three-legged stool. I made the same calculation and even at his speed you'd have to sell it for €75.

Woodworking is not a walk in the park. Excellent outcome 👋

@johnmcdonald9977 8 месяцев назад

Oh for a large spacious workshop with all the tools shown. It is a great use of space, with free wood. Unfortunately, we don't all have those luxury items. Great job, though! Well done!

@rudywolter5727 Год назад

Awesome! I love the breakdown of hours and cost for a "free wood" table. This will really help me come up pricing for my projects. Thanks!

@ryanhawkins Год назад

Glad it helps!

@spanky1205 Год назад

Great project! I would be curious, what it would have costed in time and money if you would have bought the wood and built the same table? Assuming the pallets were mostly pine a person could use privacy fence boards. You would have saved a ton of time breaking down and cleaning up pallets plus you would have saved a chunk of change in blades, sandpaper and etc. This video really shows why some woodworkers avoid pallets. Thanks for breaking down the time and costs.

@ryanhawkins Год назад

I imagine the wood alone would have ran me about $2K, but I would have saved prob 3-4 8 hour work days of labour

HEY RYAN - 45 YEARS TEACHING CABINETMAKING AND WISH THIS WAS AROUND BACK THEN - SHOWS KIDS THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BUY THE BEST WOOD AVAILABLE TO MAKE A QUALITY PROJECT - NICE WORK - TUNG OIL IS THE BEST, BUT I HAND RUB MINE "INTO" THE WOOD RATHER THAN APPLIED "ON" TO THE WOOD - ALL MY KIDS WOULD HAVE POINTED OUT THAT YOU WERE ROUTING THE TOP INCORRECTLY - YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN ROUTING "COUNTERCLOCKWISE" ON THE OUTSIDE OF A PROJECT AND NOT "CLOCKWISE" - THAT'S CALLED "CLIMB CUTTING" AND IS NOT GOOD FOR THE ROUTER BIT AND CAN CAUSE SPLINTERING - ALSO, FOR THE FUTURE, USE "CHALK" FOR THE DEPTH/SURFACE APPLICATION FOR BELT SANDING VISUAL TECHNIQUE AND NOT A LEAD PENCIL - WORKS BETTER AND IS CO CHEAP -
