Clearly not the work of master craftsmen, but not too bad for weekend hobbyists. Some decent ideas, I liked the white flip top table and the fridge side rack. They've still got much to learn, but cut 'em some slack, we all didn't start out like a Norm Abram.
Me before starting this video: This looks cute and helpful! Me 30 seconds into this video: That's a bracket not a hinge. OH MY GOD WHY ARE THOSE SCREWS SO CROOKED?
Did anyone else notice that the amount of fabric to cover that stool was significantly more fabric than the sweater? Like it was atleast 4 plus sweaters.
🤓Ye of little faith. Your comment might be a bit of an exaggeration. That's not a big stool or wide strips. 🔨Maybe not a wood working project, but it did add more texture & interest to that small stool. Would be charming to match your decor. 🌎Sustainable♻️ to repurpose an old or thrift store item. Easier on the upholstery 💲budget💲 too. You could use a sweater or something in wool, velvet, flannel or faux leather line for same impact. 😉If you were worried about coverage, you could always go bigger: •Search for a maxi dress or coat. •Maybe look for something in the big & tall mens area or plus size in womens. •A small blanket or rug might work too. 🤔If using knit (or other lighter material listed above), might wanna finish those strips. It depends on how tight the weave on stool to keep things uniformly together. Of course, if the initial fabric investment is extremely low, might skip this step. 😁If finishing that detail appeals, would sew strips or use fabric glue to fuse those sides of the strips together on the reverse side. Good luck☘
@@motoryzen I think they were referring to how they drilled the screws in a solid board in the video. It never shows that they pre-drilled it which would prevent wood from splitting plus would make drilling more efficient.
My favorite part was when they took that perfectly fine table and hacked the crap out of it to make a really ugly river table and called the propane torch a "bunson burner"... Lol
At the .22 second mark, those aren't hinges. Those are called corner brackets, hinges are hinges because they pivot on a central point. Experiment, put your hinges on your kitchen cupboards and then open the door, or try to anyway. Of course putting them on would be impossible unless you came in the cupboard from behind 😂.
Pallets weigh over 20 kg each so that thing they built at the end must weigh about 150 kg before they add the cushions and plant pots! I'm not surprised we don't see them wheeling it on the cobbles.
I could see it if it's a piece that you didn't have much money in or emotional attachment to. Like say you got it at a thrift store. There's no real advanced techniques. It might take a little while to get the hang of the carving but even a beginner would most likely pick it up quickly.
That wasn't real.hardwood it's partical board n that was the most horrific display and waste of epoxy n insult to artists who actually make live edge furniture. I'm flabbergasted lol
I have these white plastic trolleys down the side of the fridge , though very handy I am sick of them now because they are very unsteady when pulled out and topple over. Thanks for posting this vid Wooden storage trolleys would look so much nicer and probably a lot more sturdy Subscribed
🚨 Ravishing red pantry cart to match that retro looking fridge. 🛠Although if you're going to the trouble to make something from scratch, I would consider matching the height of the fridge↕️. That way, it will visually balance. It will appear as if an extension of your appliance. Who doesn't need maximum storage in a kitchen anyway!? 🤔If you're going big, also recommend you splurge on the best casters (more heavy duty) you can afford. If you purchase a lot of tinned food, the weight will be considerably heavier. Good luck☘
@@teresacarle294 I agree it would be better the same height as the fridge I have casters and handles I removed from old furniture I no longer have. I always wondered why my grandad had a shed full of odds & sods , now I know why. Once the warmer weather is here I shall make a couple of these.
@@teresakearney2843 I've worked in warehouses using thousands of pallets. I have never seen anyone in the company throw away or give new pallets to strangers asking for them. Ive worked in logistic doing deliveries to stores. Companies have machines breaking old palets, which are then collected.
@@billyandrew Thats what I am saying. DIY projects are supposed to be done with widely available stuff that anyone can find. Brand new pallets are not easy to come by. XD
Take a walk you will be amazed at how much reclaimed wood you can find in your neighbourhood alone. I have a furniture business selling on Etsy using only reclaimed wood and the business is doing more than perfect, on the other hand, you can buy the best and most expensive wood and not make a single sale.
One thing I have learnt over the years, anything portable, doesn't last long. And something might happen when someone is using it. Rather make something out of cement and bricks, if you are in a hurry. U shall soon realise that it won't work and u won't use it. 😉
@@kjellr.hermansen1598 🤣Thx for the laugh. That would totally explain the missing spuds🥔. 🛑Although the pull-out pantry cart looks cool painted out in red to match that retro fridge. It's a great use of that slim space too. In a kitchenette every inch of storage is key. 🔨As a result, I would've went full appliance height with it. 😉Also would chose another visual to sell it. If you want to get pedantic about produce storage, root veggies don't have any place near or on top of a hot appliance. They need a cool dark place for storage. Plus, taters stored with onions will degrade faster. If you buy in bulk &/or longevity is important, keep these two items a bit of distance apart. 🚜
Love the idea, but that couch looked much more comfy than the coffee table bed and if she was at home, which it looked she was, how lazy is she to not walk to her bedroom lol
Exactly! Not to mention that you need to know what additives are ok to add to that particular resin, and the proportions (or it may not cure!). Also, depending on the resin, they may suggest that you add the hardener before adding any additives - especially those that are by weight, not volume. Other concerns with epoxy - - Check if you should be using a torch! Not all epoxy is safe to use a torch on! Don't keep the torch in one place, you should be making sweeping passes so you don't burn the resin. - Always wear gloves! - Check if your epoxy has VOC's - if so, you need a respirator/N95 mask. - Check what temperature your epoxy should be poured at. - Check the minimum and maximum thickness per pour on your specific epoxy - this can cause cracking, slow drying, and other issues. - Check if the epoxy will bond to the finish on the table - you may need to sand that down first, or your epoxy will separate from the table. - Depending on the type of wood, you may need to seal coat the wood before pouring the epoxy or you can end with lots of air bubbles. - After sanding, make sure you get all the dust off the surface before pouring the epoxy. There are a number of channels that have excellent tutorials on how to use different epoxy products for different applications.
Some of the ideas were cool but none of them were "simple"! They ALL require a drill and at least half of them require assistance from a second person. 😳.
Ok..... I made it to 7.... One of my least favorite videos of all time. For the time you spent building that ugly arm rest thing you could of just made an end table. Then ruining that finished table was enough for me... No thanks.
16:46 Holy cow where the heck do you possibly get 8 pristine pallets and then manage to turn them into that absolute abomination( plus there was more pallets wasted in other projects)
I'm more than half way through this vid, and so far, every single one of these tutorials has at least one misleading element. For example, that outdoor sofa they supposedly made out of a single pallet wasn't actually made out of any pallets. They used way more wood than would have come from one, and they used a differently treated (and pristine looking) wood, and they didn't bother to note that you have to weatherproof that thing. Wood needs to be treated and protected from moisture and sun, and so do cushions, for that matter. Don't rely on any of these products to work out well.
Neat ideas. But projects like these drive me batty! You use the incorrect hardware and label them wrong. All projects: use correct type of screws! Project 10: Do you even know what a hinge is???? That's an L-Bracket! Project 7: That's not Bunsen Burner! It's a propane torch! If you used a Bunsen, you would have caught your whole project on fire because you spilled alcohol all over then put it on fire. Project 3: Finally used the right hardware for the project. But WHY are you using a blacksmith/masonry hammer and not a claw hamner??? Like I said I really like the projects, but you use the incorrect hardware and label them wrong!
They probably expect you to find them around where people are getting rid of them. Lots of places like business parks just put pallets out by their doors, hoping someone will take them away. But they are almost never in as good a condition as the ones they were demonstrating on, and lots are too old to even take apart without damaging the wood.
I think number three is a very bad idea. The reason is because the refrigerator back needs to be open for it to have air flow for air circulation to cool down the coils for it to work properly.
