DIY Garden Furniture: Building a Table from a Pallet
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 чер 2024
- In this video, I share my first-ever UA-cam tutorial on how to build a garden table using only one pallet and a few spare parts from another. I'm not a professional craftsman, but I wanted to share my experience and knowledge on how to create this beautiful and functional piece of outdoor furniture. I also show you how to make your own waterproof wood finish using bees wax, linseed oil, and mineral spirits. I use a combination of the traditional Japanese Shou Sugi Ban method of burning the wood and then applying the Bees Wax/Linseed Oil mix, which creates a totally waterproof and scratch-safe surface. So whether you're a beginner or an experienced DIYer, come along and join me on this fun and easy project!

Dainer Designs sent me here and I'm thrilled with what I see. 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Awesome! Thank you!
That is a beautiful table. Unlike anything I have seen before. Nice work!
Thanks 😊
I watched this long version this evening with my wife while having dinner. She was very impressed with the process and resourcefulness 😀
Hopefully you watched it at double speed, that was my first video and it's a little too long. However it's still my wifes favourite table for her greenhouse so it's in good use! Thanks for watching!
@@JesperMakes 1.5x speed is my standard ;)
Beautiful work! I lived in Lexington Kentucky (horse capital of the world) for 4 years, and this burning method is used on most fence posts and rails. It helps protect it from the humidity and bugs as well. As always, thanks for sharing!
I burn most of the wood I use outside + linseed oil. Lasts forever.
I'm from Luval, hey neighbor.
This is idyllic! The work, the bird song...wonderful! Greetings from Scotland 🏴🙌
Hi in Scotland 👌
@@JesperMakes 😁
Dam nice table love that finish
Thanks 😀
Burning technique - Shou Sugi Ban - it's sooooooooooooo beautiful...great video.
Thanks 🙏
Beautiful table. So much nicer than the typical “picnic benches” we build in the states. Gives me inspiration to rebuild mine. Oh and it took me rewatching that section 5 times to figure out you were drilling and doweling the nail holes, lol. TY.
The Rundsav Afstandskl ....... thing is very clever!
Uh yes my little spacer. I got a new Makita circular and guess what, the distance is the same, so still using the Rundsav Afstandsklods
Kettlebells and coffee!
Love this project, on my list to do, number 2.🙏 Thank you 🙏
You can do it! Thanks for watching Steve!
Hello Jesper,
It is a very nice design. The effect of wax and polish is great. A great table for outdoor. You have created a decorative and stylish garden table. Keep doing great work from pallets. Congratulations. See you. Stay healthy and happy. Big greetings. Mehmet.
My first video and woodworking project !! Thank you very much Mehmet.
I like your industry. The use of scrap, and the beauty you create is truly artistic.
Thank you, we try our best! Thank you for supporting me.
Love your work and thinking outside the box. You are definitely the most deserving UA-cam channel that should have a tool sponsor.
Thanks man. Cheers
You do beautiful work. I enjoyed every moment watching you transform your prodject. Thank you for sharing ♥️
Thanks, Betty! Transforming projects is the best part.
Stunning ..... simply stunning.
Thanks Chris, you're too kind, this was my first video and almost first wood project ever, it's toooo long but the table is still standing one year later, phew ;-)
Fantastic work!
My very first vid! 😁
Simple is beautiful. I love it.
Thanks 🙏
Another lovely job.👍🏻😊
Thank you! 😊
Bottoms up, great table 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Thanks 👍
So very cool and motivating to get me making something! Thanks
Go for it!
wow
i'm kind of speechless
just... wow
My first video ever! Thanks bro
One of my favourite build :)
Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it. Take care. Cheers from Denmark.
Awesome 👏🏾
I’m going to start these projects.
Yeah do that. It's really awesome to build something yourself.
WOW ! 🤩 ! Very Impressive! 🇺🇸👍🏻👊🏻
Thanks John, thank you so much for following along. Cheers
That's really nice. good job
Thanks Jack 😌
Espectacular toque final. Te felicito brother
Thanks
Amazing table! You are very talented, no doubt!
Thank you so much 😀
nice work man!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Absolutely beautiful! I especially like your finish.
Thank you so much!
@@JesperMakes what was your ratio of beeswax / linseed oil / mineral spirits please? That is a truly fantastic finish and I'm trying to recreate it... It looked quite runny in the jar, I would have thought the beeswax would have made it a lot thicker once it cooled?
Hola! 🖐I have only watched a couple of your videos and I'm a "newer" subscriber. I really enjoy going back and watching the catalog of videos when I subscribe to another channel. This is a REALLY NICE TABLE, and this being your first video you posted, BRAVO 👏GREAT job! Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👊
Thanks again, it's my first woodworking project and my first video, about 2 years old at this point.
Great projects, wonderful job on the editing of your videos. live in PA great ideals for projects also. keep up the great work!
Hey Frank, thanks for the compliments!
Awesome!
Thank you! Cheers!
Wow, what a trick :D
Not a trick really. Just some work.
amazing!
Thank you! Cheers!
That’s great!
Thanks James
Absolutely love the burnt look! I just found your channel today and am binge watching! What type of torch is that? Very amazing imagination and thought process! Thank you for the great work!
Thanks man, I'm just using a small standard propane torch from the big box store. I also have a weed burner I'm using on bigger projects.
wow wspaniała robota pozdrawiam.
Hi, thanks for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it. Take care. Cheers from Denmark.
So nice💛👍
Thanks 🙏
Вот это работа)) тоже попробую.
Go for it mate, anybody can build this
nice !
Thanks mate. It's not everyday l get a comment on this, my first video. Thanks 🙏🙏
amazing
Thanks, that's my very first video and pallet project...
Hauptsache er kippt nicht um mit dem 3l Rotweinkanister am Rand. 🍷🍷🍷👍👍
I guess approved then 😜
Like it 👍
Uh thanks, not every day I get comments on this video..
Jesper makes 👍🏼
Thanks! 👌
This would make an amazing apothic red comercial lol
Great woodworking video. Is the table twisted after burning? My experience the wood will twist. Thank you
Not at all
Great
Thanks!
Great job great video.
I love it.
Maybe i missed it but what were the holes and self made dowels for?
Mostly drilling out nail holes.
@@JesperMakes that makes sense. Thank you for replying. I love your style and i love your channel.
Lavoro spettacolare complimenti, il vino lascia un po desiderare,un bel Negroamaro Pugliese Italiano sarebbe il Top..😉😁😁😄😁
Negroamaro Pugliese sounds great, I will try it for my next video! Any specific recomendations?
Un porta bottiglie di vino....stile invecchiato come il buon vino.....😋😋😆😁😆😁
Nice work! Dainer Designs sent me here and I've since subbed. You sound very Aussie sometimes with your terminology/slang. Have you spent much time Down Under?
I have never been down under, but I will definitely visit there soon.
I love this table, you did a fantastic job, love the finish. The table turned out Beautiful.
I read a comment you made to someone else about the finish you used that its a homemade finish of Bees wax linseed oil and mineral spirits but you didn't say what the ratio is. If this isn't a secret recipe of yours can you give me the ratio on the ingredients? If its a trade secret recipe I understand but if not I would love to know...
Enjoy watching the video and love what you made...
Oh thank you! I have another video where I go into more depth with the finish and the ratios I have used. It's called "bees wax wood finish" or something like that!
Hello jasper, I’m new on your channel but I like your projects,
Hey quick question, what you do with all the removed nails?
✌🏻
I have a big bucket with old nails. one day a project with nails will appear before me.
Nice! Question; Why the dowel inserts (decorative or to bind splits)?
Good question! I had some nailholes I wanted to eliminate I think.
@@JesperMakes Aha, makes sense. You've got me stacking pallets now, thank you!
Дружище, что ты творишь? Это восхитительно! Я в восторге! Мне 40, почти, но я бы пошёл к тебе учеником.
You can be your own student, just go out and start building stuff. Cheers from Denmark 🇩🇰🇩🇰
very inspirational, what do you mix into the bees wax at 16:30 in the video?
Thank you.

Hola saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷 me gustaría saber que pones en la olla a parte de la cera de abeja? saludos
Hola! En la olla, mezclo cera de abeja con aceite mineral para crear mi propio acabado para los proyectos de madera. La combinación de ambos no solo protege la madera, sino que también le da un bonito brillo. ¡Saludos hasta Argentina y gracias por tu comentario! ¿Has probado hacer tu propia mezcla de acabado alguna vez
@@JesperMakes muchas gracias muy lindos tus trabajos ❤ tienes una nueva suscriptora 😊
¡Muchísimas gracias, Gisel! Me alegra mucho saber que te gustan mis trabajos. ¡Bienvenida a la comunidad! Recuerda que aquí, el café lo resuelve todo. 😉 ¿Hay algún proyecto específico que te gustaría ver en el futuro? ¡Un abrazo hasta Argentina! ❤
What ratios of beeswax to linseed oil did you use?
The Biltema planer, do you find it worth a purchase? I'm lacking both a table saw and a planer, but i noticed that Biltema's selling it "cheap?" compared to some other retailers. Or is it too limited in regards to the dimensions it can handle at max?
I bought it used for about half the price at Biltema. I have been very happy for it. It's very good for handling pallet wood etc, but it's one of the smallest lunchbox planers around. A good starting point.
Niiice
Thanks!!!
Hi Jasper - I wanted to buy that metal polishing thing - do you have a name of this kind of thing? How to look for that - to harden the burned surface.
If you go to the angle grinder disc section of any tool store, you'll find some discs that are meant to fine-polish metal. They have a cotton-like surface.
nice finishing! can I get that polish from the market?
No, sorry, it's homemade.
Stunning. Going to have to make one myself.... Just not as good
You can make it better mate, go for it...
Do you heat the wax-linseed-spirits mixture before applying? Made the same thing with the same ratio's, but it's very much a solid at room temperature. It's a really soft wax essentially, which works. Yet I'd like to be able to pour it out of a container rather than scraping it. Which brings my back to the original question; is your mixture liquid/runny at room temperature or is that mixture (still) hot.
Curiosity got the better of me; I'd wager adding mineral spirit makes it more liquid as it's a solvent, no? Anyhow, melting the wax and putting equal amounts in different jars with increasing amounts of mineral spirit. Wax won't know what hit them
Yeah you can heat it up before applying to make it more liquid.
Bees wax linseed and what was the 3rd item? Nice build by the way
Just some kind of thinner. Thanks, the table is still going strong 2 years later.
Mineral Spirits
👍👍👍
Thanks!
I didn’t know that you can grow vinegrapes in Denmark.
We can. The right spicies grows just fine here, and we have gotten a lot of vineyards over the last 20 years.
Hvilket blandingsforhold har du til din træolie?
Hej Lars, jeg lavede denne short med blandingsforholdet: ua-cam.com/users/shortsPuanQr4LBRY
Takker
Did you use specific ratio of linseed oil, beeswax and mineral spirits?
Yes,1 bees wax to 2 linseed and 2 thinner
@@JesperMakes thanks! That makes it super easy.
Is that your own bee's wax? 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Yes, we have beekeepers in the family, I get wax from them
I tried the mixture and it hardens after a while, is it normal?
By the way I used boiled linseed coz that's what is available in my area . Is it ok?
I haven't applied the mixture yet and it became hard like the beeswax state. It became solid, supposedly liquid
Ok, somebody said the ratio is 1:1:1. Next time I'll try 1:2:2. Thanks for this info.
I’m really curious did you try it out?
@@JesperMakes nope, not yet. I'll try soon on a scrap wood.
What was the FINISH? Bee's wax and what two liquids?
Linseed oil and and some thinner - I used mineral spirits for thinner (makes the bees wax penetrate the wood). Let me know how it works out for you.
Why were the dowels used?
I think it was to get rid of some nail holes
Was mischst du zu dem Bienenwachs dazu?
Linseed oil + thinner.
What's the English name of the tool which is used on 6:04?
@@JesperMakes Thanks mate. Just got one ordered in our local online shop for tools.
I got almost 15 meters long sugi ban bar counter to to make for my restopub.... That will come handy for sure.
Absolutely. Good luck with it.
I always ask for chopsticks 🥢 when I order out or for takeout. Great for mixing and disposable. 👍🏻🇺🇸
That's a great idea!
Alot of bies died in the maling of this video😂
They were already dead 🙏
WOW, you biscuit (sort of) the edge joints, but you use dowels for nail holes. Missed a chance there. I would have doweled the edge joints and just filled the nail holes.
I love your work, but you should try some real joinery in places for super strength. You will be glad you did.
To me, the joinery is how a carpenter thanks the wood for giving itself. A nail should only be used to hold the join while the glue dries, not be part of the structural strength.
Thanks for the tips! This was my very first try building anything, and I would it all much differently now 2 years later. But the table is still standing in our greenhouse, and is one of my wifes favourite outdoor tables.
Love the videos but, is it bad if I keep waiting for you to say "GET TO THE CHOPPA!"?
Oh I forgot that famous quote 🤣. I'll have to say that sometime 😜
Det var et flot bord du fik lavet dér.
Tak Bjarne!

I really wanted to finish this video... but unfortunately my ears could not unhear the annoying noise of the cameras auto focus trying its best to stay in focus. Please get a new camera, or turn off its auto focus function... I honestly did try though
Hi Joe, this was my very first video, and I only used auto focus the first day or so. The rest of the video is with manual focus 😅. Also I got a new camera for my never videos
WTF? You have a chipmunk running the camera?
No 😂 that's the autofocus before I turned it off and manually adjust the focus.
@@JesperMakes thank goodness. That little bugger talks too much. BTW, nice work. I'll be using some of your ideas in my future projects 😉
Aren’t you supposed to make a pallet from a garden table 😉
Ahahaha that's a good idea 💡💡
But Jesper, you can't really make something useful out of pallets, can you?
Ayo, why the fuck you always gotta be burnin' the shit???
I guess it's my thing. I have a new table coming up that I'm not burning FYI 😂😂
Aight
Fascinating content, but that auto focus made this nearly unwatchable. Had to mute.
This was my very first video! I did turn the autofocus off during the recording of this, and have used manual focus ever since. Did you watch one of the more recent videos also?
@@JesperMakes Well, for a first video it's astoundingly good.
I've subbed, so I'm sure I'll be seeing more (especially now I won't hear that focus 🤣) 👍
