Use PALLETWOOD to make MONEY and learn woodworking.

This is my story, how I started woodworking and how I started using palletwood to earn money, build a side hustle and pay for an entire workshop. This video is full of palletwood furniture ideas and inspiration. The end of the video also has a no table saw straightening jig made from palletwood.

My whole woodworking career has been centered around pallets. I’ve made thousands of dollars and never paid a penny for wood. 😁 I work as a warehouseman and get my pick of the best. I use the work truck to take them home too. Pretty spoiled.

The King of the Pallet !
I started to follow you from France
from the start on your channel
and now I make furniture with slabs of pallets.
and everyone is surprised by the fabulous results.

Thank you for the video! I am from the Chicago area and free pallets and crate wood are just all over here. Most places toss em' in a dumpster. What a waste! Everything from pallets to plywood to boards you could build fences or sheds with.

Hey, I am glad I found a new woodworking channel that isn't 'unrealistic'. Hacking on palettes is great fun. And you can't go wrong because mistakes make nice warming fires (outside only!).

I’m 63. Your videos gave me the inspiration to grab myself a free pallet, break it up (fun times) and make an awesome name plate for my baby grandson. I’m now making them for my other grandchildren, and everybody loves them!! Going to start advertising and hopefully selling them. I’m in Perth. Cheers mate!! Keep up the good work. 😘

I’m a cabinet maker of 16 years and iv got to say I’m very very impressed with your set up
Keep the videos coming pal 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I think many people, myself included, don't realize that a hobby built is something one builds upon. One learns from experience, mistakes and slowly but surely buys the right tools they need. Thanks for the video, good luck to you Sir! You're working hard for your trade and it's a beautiful thing.

You could have a ton of fancy tools but that good ol table saw is the game changer. Great work mate.

I have built my chicken house out of pallets. I am currently building other chicken stuff with pallets. I figured out myself how to disasemble pallets and remove nails, but i see in this video that there are lots of efficient techniques ... Pallet parts are not always well shaped but they are often made out of hard woods and withstand well outdoor conditions. This is great to learn wood working while making durable and good quality stuff.

I'm wicked jealous. My dad was a carpenter, his whole life, and trained me at a young age. Unfortunately, I did not live with him, and I never had access to the space required to do stuff myself... I've never, in my entire 30+ year life been in a living situation where I could have a workspace. All I can do is watch people on YouTube do what I wish I could.

Great video and hobby. If possible, know the history of your pallets. Heat treated is better than chemicals like Methyl Bromide. Pallets may be stamped HT or MB. Obviously, go for the former. Avoid pallets used to transport chemicals or other materials that can introduce anything hazardous into the wood. Take precautions to avoid inhaling the dust. Finally, avoid burning pallet wood if there’s a chance you may inhale the smoke.

Inspirational for homies who have extra time and like DIY projects, i really like to work with my hands and I am on it 🙏.

True story! Like Jesper said, In my village of 3000 people, there used to be like 5 carpenters for the past 20 years(and here in my country the houses have been made from stone, and now from bricks and concrete, the furniture is soviet, so, chipboard in everything... you need a carpenter only for roof, windows, doors, aaaand some times for furniture). Now there is just one, and he is only making custom chipboard furniture... That"s a guy having all the tools in his workshop(like a 100k in machinery and tools) already there from his grandfather... But the passion is not there... I just started making things from pallet wood, and already from friends I have like orders for so many things, that they are ready to pay(like things seen on pinterest), but nobody wants to make... I learned so much from guys like you. Made my firrst 3 meters desktop out of pallet wood... with having the knowlidge, and different technics from videos... my father used to have the woodworking as a hobby, he just watched and giving me advises that I already knew from this kind of videos(he is 67), he ask me about you tube then 😀... I had the bad habbit of doing nothing in my free time, just drinkig and wasting my time on stupid games on my phone or watching "funny" videos all day long. That changed, my dayly routine changed. Thank you! Thaaaank you and all the people there that changed my life in the past 2 years!

By the way, I just had my first workshop made from zero. All the machinery and tools I have there cost like 2 to 3k... And can make everything there. Just need the will and the passion. Greeting from Bulgaria! Love you, and send some greetings to Jesper too. 😀

Pallets are so sought after in my local area so I spent the bank holiday weekend breaking down rustic coffee tables and building some up for people.

[easyspeak]

small metal detector recommended too. spare your eqpt. 👏👍

[Simphome]

I got lots of ideas and inspiration. Can't say it's easy, but I think it's true that I can make money if I follow your lead.

[Foostini]

Great video. I think the comment at the beginning is valid criticism, some of these channels forget where they came from or had the money to start with all of that but still claim DIY. Kinda like how TV chefs do "home cooking" but have ingredients, tools, and recipes far outside of your average household would use on a weekday night. In this case though you did a great job breaking it down and showing how you can get started with scrap and hand tools. Cheers from an aspiring blacksmith and woodworker.

Excellent inspirational video. Enjoying working with pallets is all about patience. Whilst they might be free, they don't just fall apart into beautifully flat, square stock. Thanks for sharing, you have a new subscriber.👍
