Jay, please check the model of your DeWalt compound miter saw. They just recalled a bunch made between 2019-2022 for a safety issue. The stop on the back was switched to plastic & it can shatter exposing the blade.

where were you when i still had 2 hands ago
After enjoying all our custom builds that look great I had an idea where you should go next. Take your builds beyond the box. How about full "Battlestation Builds". It would be great to see some top level battle station ideas. It would also give us some inspiration for our own spaces and see how you use various materials and techniques for things like hiding wires.
Nailed it.
Super solid idea actually.
Agreed, you clearly have an eye for setting up spaces and you should expand your channel into DIY/Interior design focused on gaming spaces. Your OCD will bring you happiness doing things like this rather than just focusing on desktop builds. Most of us did not grow up with DIY skills passed down and it would be great if you can educate gamers on becoming more handy in building things out for themselves with the focus being on setting up spaces in a cost efficient manner, integrating smart home stuff, etc.
Yes pls
Yes, this would be awesome.
The hanging method with angled cuts is called a "French Cleat" for anyone looking for it.
And they are amazing! I have them on every bare section of wall in my shop. Now when I get new toys I dont even have to think about how to mount them I just pick an open spot on one of the rails and its good to go.
@@ronnie3044 my introduction to French Cleats was in middleschool. I had a bunk bed and wanted my alarm clock near my head. Dad and I built a box with a hidden French cleat on the back. Still have it somewhere at their house. We built it 25 years ago.
My mom's a French Cleat!
...
Oh wait....
For those who are worried about things falling off of your french cleat (say, during a total rage quit), then look into adding "french cleat keys" which slide between the top of the cleat and the bottom of the horizontal slab above it.
We call them split battens in Australia, and they are indeed the best way to mount anything to a wall without any visible fixing.
Jay: Go with the grain
Jay: Uses orbital sander.
thats what i said to myself lol
@@lordnikon981 Great minds mate
@@Synthematix yea i do HO
Jay, you're using an orbital sander. It doesn't matter which way you move it.
I was about to say, it's all about light pressure with a orbital sander.
Thank you Jay for helping us budget oriented peasants with great ideas.
That's a wrap.
The Financially Challenged.
Wood is not "budget".
I like these videos as much as the PC stuff. Building things in general, makes me happy. PS: You don't need to buy nail filler. Wood glue + sawdust = nail filler. Plus if you use the sawdust from what you are working on, it'll match in color.
This! It's a great way to reuse sawdust, since that's something you'd otherwise just throw away. Plus, it's way cheaper to make your own than to buy the prepackaged stuff from the store.
When staining, you should also stain the back so the moisture from humidity changes will be equal on both sides.
Also when staining don’t use a brush. Much better Way to stain is staining cloth or even better yet staining pad. Staining pad is a staining cloth wrapped around a sponge. All you have to do is dip and rub on the stain. The staining pad will apply the stain much faster and way more evenly. If you do see any puddles you can use it to soak up any extra stain.
YES YES YES stain both sides. I know you were just using pine and it will not be seen on the backside. Jerry is right you will get excess moisture absorbing into the back of the wood which is going to cause your build to expand and contract unevenly. Which will cause the wood to bow or cup. This will pull out those little Brad nails because you did not use glue. Which you should have used some glue too.
He should have stained it before assembly, as well.
Jays DYI skills are literally those "If Dad can't fix it, no one can" haha. I really, really love how you always do such down to earth vids and dont go all "Here is my super expensive DYI Thing :D".
You should find some old red, vintage, Texaco or Gas Station signs for the top of the cabinets! It would match the JTC color scheme, be a touch of the car enthusiast side of you, and match the semi-rustic vibe the pallet and wood stain brings .
What if AMD, Intel, ASRock, Matrox, etc make vintage signs.... you know to go up in Microcenters and Best Buys?
As someone who HATES that crap I have to say I still 100% agree. That or some fake vine planters with vines going down between to frame the gamer pallet.
@@rogerroger10-47 Vintage Fry's signs
Is a good idea - vintage auto approach. Could incorporate the JTC info/logo into a vintage brand design though - working on one now for a body shop bringing its name into that style design layout.
Needs a couple custom vintage gas pump globes with Jay's logo and put them on top of each cabinet with lights in them.
I did something similar with my garage.
But I split my pine boards at a 45° angle and made cleats. Now each slat also has the ability to hang things off it with a French cleat system.
Good point! was gonna say a cleat will be the best solution imo.
Yes, to me that would be the preferred way. You get the same visual of Jay's wall, but much more secure when hanging stuff.
A French cleat, when used properly, is such a great and simplistic hanging system
And doing all the slats that way is so f*cking genius
This is the way
Just wanted to say, as a person who has had a lot of fun discovering woodworking over the last couple years, I really enjoyed watching your process for this build and how much fun you were having with it. Yea, there are things that folks might do differently, but in the end, you made something that you're happy with and excited about. Thanks for sharing this little journey!
I just love Jayz's doing wood working next to his RACK with switch.... Great DIY build.
Crown goes up , looking down the board flat , the 4” side . Pine is great wood & great ideas .🤘🏼🏁
Your angled hanging method is a french cleat. They are so underutilized in shops and garages as theres usually nothing like a 3 inch lag bolt to mount a 15lb shelf.
April Wilkerson has used french cleats a lot in her workshop builds over the last few years but I think I first saw them in Norm Abrams New Yankee workshop on PBS in the 90's. Not to mention Paul just used one (without a table saw) but in Jay's defense these things were happening around the same time.
That and most drop saws can cut the angle he wants, with the screw/hinge adjustment.
@@wobblysauce TIL a new name for miter saw. Could you elaborate on the screw/hinge adjustment thing? Could you do any length angled cuts with it? Say for example 2 meters (6ft)? and could it be used for resawing?
I only have miter saw and circular saw, but want a table saw at some point. I just have to figure out how to fit it so I can actually use it.
@@Signaworks I honestly wondered if he could have made several short cleats using the drop saw and a clamp.
@@bothellkenmore I kinda understand how one would cut short sections, but not anything longer than the cut "depth" of the saw, which would be beneficial atleast for the part going to the wall.
Good shout talking about the anchors. I had a TV decide it wanted to be free from the wall a few years ago :P
The lights changing with Phil's laugh made my mood instantly better!
To be honest , of all the content on your channel, I love all of the tech/gaming adjacent DIY projects like these the most. We can find hardware reviews pretty much anywhere (especially GPU vids) but only one place with these kinds of fun workspace projects. Look forward to the next one!
Love these videos. I copied Jay'z home office in my home pretty closely. Did the TV backboard for a 65 inch TV and it came out beautiful and sturdy. Used boards very similar to these ones. Thanks for the ideas and inspiration for clean office-ey type setups Jay.
This is what I love about DIY. Get things the way you want with added benefit of knowing you did it yourself ^^
That turned out to be a good looking back drop. I like the way it's just slightly off center to the left.
It's different and the attention to detail and character really makes it stand out. Little things like matching stain but also making sure it's centered takes all the time. One thing I was tought in the building trade and it applies to anything in life, plan and take your time getting the first fix right and second fix is easy. So love the work and can't wait to see what you come up with next.
Man, seeing Jayz' or Adam Savage's wood work videos, makes me wish I could work on my "desktop" wood, which I got because of Jayz' various wood vids.
Thank you Jay. For everything. Love and respect all the way from South Africa
What you are think about with joint to hang it on the wall is a French cleat. I’m inspired to build a wall with French cleats to hold different tools now. Thanks Jay! 😁
"DIY is literally Do it Yourself"...words of wisdom from Jay
You sure have an idea for every palette.... :D Dad jokes aside, rly enjoying the arts and crafts side of the channel! Building your own space is incredibly rewarding and any and all price-performance ideas are more than welcome!
IMO a neon JayzTC sign in the middle of this board would be really cool.
We need a third channel, JayzTwoBoards! I'm always looking for others that woodwork :D For just a slight rise in cost, Poplar would be a way better choice over construction grade pine like you have. Just a thought for next time.
Or Jayz2x4
JayzGotWood
Those gotta be some home depot boards bc they look awful lol. Either that or he legit got construction pine instead of pine appearance boards.
@@TSerr97 I deal with that kinda wood all the time for outdoor projects, it's construction grade all the way.
@@Azurko I do a lot of furniture projects so I usually throw down the extra few bucks for appearance boards so I don't have to clean those things up. It's a mistake I've made before and it was infuriating lol.
The dad jokes are just the best 😂 btw, the boards are different lengths cause they are left in the sawmill cut length and not accuracy cut in planing mill 🤗
Looks good. Nothing like a bit of home craft to make rooms more comfortable or functional.
Always stain both sides. Stain can / will warp the wood if applied to only one side.
JayzTwoWoods where you diy wooden pc cases and tables with pcs built into them.
At least he didn't seal one side.
@Slightly.Above.Average Given how toasty modern PC's get ( Intel 12th gen ) might be a fire hazard...🤔
Can't wait to see what wood-related, I mean, PC-related stuff you'll be hanging there.
pants ripping was hilarious 😂.. great vids keep it up Jay
It's amazing how a simple geometric texture change can add to a room. And the lighting is a nice touch!
French cleat sounds like what you want to do for the slat wall. Easy to make
Some black L-channel trim would probably look really nice along the side edges, just to crisp it up a bit.
That server rack and the sytems mounted in it must be loving all that wood dust flying around...
I can't express how much I enjoy your content. Love from Brazil.
Thanks for explaining what DIY is Jay, that made me chuckle.
I love amateur DIY, really connects with me on a personal level haha
The mounting technique your talking about is called a French cleat, popular way to hang floating tv cabinets etc. Easiest done on a table saw but a rip saw set to 45* would get the job done.
That looks so good. Also, Rest in Peace, Jayz Shorts.
As someone who works with pallets every day, can confirm that's a good looking pallet.
bit low to my liking for a pallet would have a hard time getting my forklift under it but indeed it looks legit
I love these things!
once we move to a bigger place (nothing planned, but it will happen at some point) I'm looking forward to having my own room as office/gaming room, where I can build similiar shenanigans in
Looks good, will love to see it with all the screwdrivers and stuff.
Those Tape Skillz.. Perfect Amount Of Tape The First Time.
Love this stuff… just moved into a new place so get to do it all fresh, you’ve given me some cool ideas. Don’t have the space or the tools to do most of this myself, but it’s really cool to see you do it. Then Amazon does the hard work for me 😆
A tip, when you are putting in the anchors, or drilling holes in the sheetrock, bend a piece of cardboard in half, and painters tape across the top of it to the wall below where you are drilling/inserting anchor, less cleanup of dust after.
I'm a handy kinda guy. Dig the DIY creative videos 👊🏼👊🏼
love the idea of the "pallet" background. im gonna try this!
I use Govee throughout my house and I absolutely love them. I use them for my room lights, lamps, and under my kitchen cabinets for counter top lighting. I connected them all to Google so I can verbally turn them off and on plus with my alarm system linked I can tell Google goodnight and everything shuts down and the alarm activates. And my kids love being able to change their room lights colors.
Love it. Very palatable design.
Love the video. I was going to make a recommendation to try a French cleat mounting system, but it does make it easier to make those with a table saw. Keep up the great work guys!
Ripped his Drawls. Love the antics and the DIY!
Jay we will always love your messy and silly side. keep up the awesome work guys
You should try some pre-stain or wood conditioner when using pine. It will help keep the stain from appearing blotchy or overly dark in areas.
The hanging system you described it called a “French cleat” and are very strong. A+ work sir.
Make a slat wall with the french cleat system. It'll make it easier to move and adjust everything.
Only Jay would make me watch him build a pallet 🤣 😆🤣😂.. I enjoyed every minute of it! Ha ha
Regarding the sanding with the grain, you don't want to use an oscillating sander. You want to either use a sanding block or a handheld belt sander. From one do-it-yourselfer to another, invest in a 10" bench top table saw and a sliding compound mitersaw is a must. I recommend the bench top for saving you some room. Now if you want to save yourself money on lumber, buy a small jointer and planer. You can save a a great deal of money buying lumber in the rough. You'll be able to resize and surface the lumber to your own specific specs.
Danish Oil is also a very nice stain! They have a good variety too. Dries quick and also helps seal the wood up too!
Gaming pallete: still more useful than gaming power supply
I did something like this for my office wall except I staggered the boards and butted them up to each other. I also did an rgb strip around the back border and pointed them in the wall. I also used four toggled bolts to hold the center into the studs so I could mount monitors to it. Also added a face plate behind the monitors to pass cables.
I learned to not rub it against the grain and that I can only make it shorter not longer!😂🤣 thanks JAY!
Shop starts to look really good! These Ikea hacks work like magic! Keep tinkering!
"I'm going to use my radial arm saw" - points at his chop saw. You are a real pro Jay. 😂
Love it...!!! "That's what I like about DIY - you can do it yourself"....... 🤔
🤣
This Old JayzTwoCents House 👏
That's a cool backdrop, I look forward to the final product when it's being fully utilsed.
Looking good! All I've used is Govee LEDs strips, they are amazing and definitely cheaper than most comparable competitors.
Final project looks great!
a transport pallet would work well for that too, pick up an old cheap one sand it down put a few extra boards on it if you want, stain/paint it and would get the same essentially
Jay, that is awesome. I don't have a very creative side, I wish I did but I really like how that turned out.
Remember When This Was A TECH CHANNEL...
Petridge Farm Remembers.
Jay built a pallet. But a special sized pallet with lights. It will be interesting to see when you have things hanging off it.
I use those drywall anchors to hang my guitars on the wall and they hold really well
That looked just straight up beautiful
WOW, Nice Pallet!
Looks good. If you're not sure if Brad or nail will go all the way through and stick out back a lil bit, put nail or Brad in on a slight angle. Used that trick many times.
French cleat is what you were looking for, the term for hanging things from the wall with mirrored beveled pieces.
Was thinking of doing this for a closet for one of my other expensive hobbies. Glad you showed what can be done for relatively cheap! But I agree it looks a lot like a pallet. I might try to build something similar with no gaps and skip the LEDs. Maybe some more content you could help create and inspire these projects instead of another case review or video card or whatever. I like it!
This is super cool. I’m a huge fan of the whole setup. Your office is literal goals!
I did this very project over a year ago for my TV and behind both of my monitors and now it's a cool thing guess I was ahead of the time.
Towards the end of the video Jay actually said, "DIY is literally, do it yourself." Yes Jay, Yes it is!! HaHaHa!! That came out really good! Awesome job
That looks really cool for a workshop! Only annoying thing about it was that you can see the hot spots on the top and sides.
Love this kind of video from time to time
All of these remodeling videos have been a great pallet cleanser.
That actually turned out pretty good, Neat.
Nice "Gamer Pallet". Turned out pretty cool.
Honestly, I'm here for the RGB Pallet. More, please
Turned out pretty cool, I also like govee lights.
Your new place looks very nice, great work)
Love the idea, dude. I might go a little smaller, but when my family and I move and I work start working on my PC space, this is something that's definitely a contender.
jayz description of a french cleat awesome
Lol you made fancy pallet 🤣 😂 😆
You inspire more than you know 😁 thank you ❤️
Really like the stain on it goes really well with surrounding area and cabinets. Always like these little DIY vids and you really help with ideas. Thanks again for being you and what you bring to your community, I really feel I had to says this after the last vid about GPU prices.
Looking great!
