@@andy.elliott.foreverpens heck yeah I was a young new homeowner when I bought it and it served me well, I was so happy with it for the price I bought the hedge trimmer as well as two extra batteries. So I had two chargers and four batteries. Now I have a nice DeWalt set that my mother-in-law got me on a wicked good sale.
What an absolutely brilliant project, you make it look so easy. My son asked me to make him a wishing well for his garden. This looks perfect. Thankyou so much for sharing. Without hesitation I have subscribed. Looking forward to your future videos. Again, thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks guys, received the plan's, now need to get more wood for the 3 I need to build for Grand kid's... great plans well laid out and easy to follow...
Very beautiful you made it look so easy and i had to rewind it to see you roll the wood up again it blew my mind for a second ..thank you for sharing your video with us
Hi, Guys! It's impressive to see what you get from scrap wood! I'm just thinking about a surface and thickness planer, but after this video I think I will not need any... Kind regards and best wishes from Germany, Thomas
Hi Thomas! after I made this video, I managed to get my hands on a planner / thicknesser which made the job of making these wells so much easier! I made quite a few to sell, so it was well worth the investment (no Pun intended!!!) Thanks for watching!
Fantastic idea! I'm wondering if I can recreate this by using the cheap wooden fence slats. I may pick a few up and give it a try. I've already made some birdhouses for gifts this year, so I think I'll be working on this one for next year, or upcoming birthday gifts.
Your video Is very inspiring. Thank you for the plan I received this morning. Your generosity is right up there with your talent. I've just subscribed. Cheers!
Love the video shows me an idea how to do it. Always wanted to try. Now I can. ☺ I have tons of pallet boards piled that I use to make homemade items. Wish me luck Thank you
I sold a bunch of these , not exactly these. But I got a bunch of free wire spools. Used those to make the Base for the wishingwells . I only owned, a Skill saw a small mouse sander & a cordless drill at the time. after i sold my first one I was able to buy a used table saw. It had a bent fence & couldn't get strait cuts with it. but i still have & use it. I started making more wishingwells. Same way using Wire spools. & made a bunch of old school Hand water pump looking things. with a bucket as a planter . then bought a router . made a bunch of noodle boards. bought a small band saw . & bought a belt sander. Now I'm working on a few bigger things don't want to give away yet. But have a feeling, my new project is gonna not only buy me a new table saw. But also think my pallet work shed is gonna get replaced, with a proper shed. that will be turned into a heated wood shop. with dust collection. then I will not have to wear a dust mask every step of the way. but I've got high hopes for my new build. oh & I also use free pallets. & recently acquired. 30 Bowling ally pin setter pallets. so they are all 2x6 or 2x8 with 3x4 inch runners on them & they are 5 feet square. so amazing free wood. so To those who don't have much by way of tools you can literally build these with a hand saw & a drill. or hammer & nails .
@controversialhunter8032 I love that story! I really hope your new shop dream comes true for you, really do! It's amazing what you can do from pallet wood with basic tools. People seem to love the rustic look. The only limit is your imagination. Good luck my friend, I wish you all the best for Christmas, The New Year, and all the years after that! Good luck!
You're an artist mate, a lovely something out of basically nothing, that's real talent my friend, keep it going! We've had some nice times around Owenahincha, Skibereen and Cork city before my wife took ill, we met some lovely, friendly people, best regards to you and yours mate!
Ladywood2 just don't watch the video and use the plans he sends you...totally different measurements,.on the roof ..I had to bust mine apart and rebuild it
Wow amazing job Andy,just started doing garden features ,planters etc .. Learning so much off these videos,what glues and sprays do you use ? Thanks for a great video,👍👍👍
fabulous guys! i’ve wanted one of these to build a well fountain or bird feeder inside. super repurpose of the wood and skills, no to mention tools you could now, as i want to do, put a small electric pumped well in it!
Not sure how old this video is but it's great. I have sent through an email to you Andy to ask if there might be any chance of getting the plans as this would be a wonderful activity to do with elderly people living in residential care.
the blade guard should always be set about 1/8 inch above the stock that you are cutting. It seems that you had it at least one to two inches above the stock that you were cutting. Setting it too high will sometimes cause the blade to break.
You video popped up as a suggested video, soI watched it. I will start by saying this, I did watch the commercial, (I know how it works) but it was the longest commercial about some cartoon kid in the woods..? It was terrible, I hope they give you a 20 for me having to sit though that. hehehehe. J/K Very nicely done on your video my friend, I love working with the pallet wood projects and I could see this being something fun for the off grid cabin location. Thanks so much for taking the time to share this with us, very nicely done from the details to the final edits. Keep up the fun work, look forward to seeing more so we subbed you as well.
I love the look of the wishing well, but for those of us who have never built anything, some instruction would have been helpful even if it's only in text form.
Hi buddy. Long time no see lol. The time has come for me to now take on this project for my little girl. Would it be possible to get the plans for this please ? Thanks Keith
So are the wishing well “walls” 30 degrees each and then the “skirt” around the top 22.5 degrees each? I struggle to get mine neat and tidy at the top, I assumed it would be 30 degrees like the body?
No mate, at the start the video shows a text box in the corner that says "tilt blade to 22.5⁰" for the drum section. The trim across the top is also 22.5⁰, ye should match perfect then!
Nice build: a few questions. You seem to be lucky in having wide battens; most pallets I can get have narrower ones. What types of adhesive were you using? There was a spray of some kind; there was a white guey compound but not specified and was that cyanoacrylic in the tubes? Also you seemed to mix two adhesives at one point. I'd like a much fuller explanation of that if possible. I am making wishing wells from 'recycled timber to sell as well, but also attempting to make some more sophisticated stuff like lighthouses and windmills. Some of the stuff on Pinterest is really cool and might well sell OK> What do you charge for your wells?
Hi Barry! Wide boards seem to be an issue with many people, so I guess Lucky would be accurate! For my wells, I use a 6" board. The most common ones seem to be about 4", so i recommend gluing 2 together, then ripping a 1" strip off each side. This will give you the right size board, but also but the join in the middle. Edge jointing is vital on this though! The spray is an activator for CA Glue. For the base and the roof slats, I use a combination of CA glue of exterior wood glue. CA Glue in the ends and middle, with Wood glue in between for strength. The CA glue acts as a clamp while the wood glue dries & I can move on with the project. For the sales price, I base that on the quality of the wood, and how nice it looks once its completed. If the wood looks a bit more rough, then I'l drop the price a little, but as a general rule, I sell them for €50 Euro each. Free plans are still available if you would like a copy. just email me at andydascouser@live.ie and I'll forward on a set to you. Any further questions, please feel free to drop me an Email or a PM message! Thanks for watching the Video, I really appreciate it Barry!
WoW what a cracking build that was, brilliant i love it. Pity you didn't have some PDF plans? I wouldn't mind trying that for myself, oh well (no pun intended) anyway it was a brilliant build so well done. Barry (ENG)

2 years in. Base still there. When I make these, I leave them bare, no finish, so that when the buyer gets it, they can treat or paint it their own way. For mine, I used yacht varnish and the base is lifted, so not in direct contact with soil or grass. Thank for watching!
Nice project You'll eliminate the camera grain effect by increasing your lighting - better to have a bit too much than not enough, especially with a digital camera. I own 4 for my videos and had to tackle this problem, and still do.
Good job but would of been real nice to have been explained on how to do to make it you stated off good by say the 22.5 but that’s all we know everything else was just left out
Good evening, truly loved the video on this would love to have the plans. Have access to pallets and typed in projects with pallets and this came up, new Sub and hope for more Projects. Jeffreytoulson50@gmail.com
Hi Rick. The glue goes on the Mitred edges of the wood. The tape acts a clamp to hold all the pieces together and close up the gaps. Really effective way to glue Mitre joints, even on a 45 degree cut on a box for example.
Thank you I love it when you made this video you taught me quite a few tricks
Nice and great project. Video was really enjoyable to watch. Great work 👏
Man I had one of those Black and Decker drills for a long time. Best cheap cordless tool I've ever owned. It burnt up in a fire I was sad to lose it
Great little drill. I only replaced that one with a newer model because the charger stopped working. The drill itself was superb for a cheap drill!

Is this for outside use? The bottom will rot out
2 years in. Base still there. When I make these, I leave them bare, no finish, so that when the buyer gets it, they can treat or paint it their own way. For mine, I used yacht varnish and the base is lifted, so not in direct contact with soil or grass. Thank for watching!

Cracking build Andy. Sent you an email for plans. Now subscribed.

I typed his email but it saids its invalid. Here's what I typed...andydascouser@live.ie.
Please help. Thanks Mike 😎
pretty but it wont last long if you dont use some varnish on it to keep the wood from being ruined by the rain
these plans still available ?????
Hey Man nice job. I have access to lots of pallets and this looks cool.
What do you spray on every time you glue though?
Hey Grant, the spray is an activator for the CA glue. It makes the glue set quicker. 👍
Are you using rubber cement?
A mix of CA glue and wood glue
nice
Nice project

this song reminds me of that's song "Vana pick me a letter"
can you explain the tape ? are you putting glue over the tape ?
Hi Rick. The glue goes on the Mitred edges of the wood. The tape acts a clamp to hold all the pieces together and close up the gaps. Really effective way to glue Mitre joints, even on a 45 degree cut on a box for example.
Sorry, I forgot to ask, what is the tool you used to mark the sign 'Well Wishes', please....
