used to stack 6/10 cans of tomatoes on palletts and such, w/ an electric fork lift. those are the best. palletts should be treated well, as they'll stack better. once saw the aftermath of a new kid who extended his boom too far, and ended up causing the boom to simply lean on the stack he'd already put there. wasn't hurt. frontward motion should be impossible on a thing like that.
watching you suffer through these tedious projects will always remain one of my favorite hobbies. whenever i think i've taken on a ridiculous project, i think "at least i'm not making 1000 of these!"
I love how the pallet coasters look like better pallets than actual pallets. That's coming from someone who has worked with palleted freight and has dismantled a ton of pallets to make plank walls in his studio. I wish all regular pallets were that pretty!
Your attention to detail is on a whole new level. These are actually amazing. Other people making these would resort to 100% laser made with veneered plywood but using hardwood, scaling original measurements down is truly a scaled down actual pallet. Really, really cool.
This is top awesome and ridiculous at the same time. I totally love it! The attention to detail and craftsmanship is mind-blowing, as per usual! Laser-engraved nail holes😄 Admire your patience and skills 👍
I prefer my pallet coasters to be just like my life size pallets. Poorly made, 2 slats broken, 9 exposed nails, 57 loose slivers that could skewer a man (and have). Possibly even a couple extra slats falling off as you move it. BUT, and I say this lovingly, I give you an A for effort for making ACTUALLY good pallets.
I really love the detail you put into those, really gives them all that "real" pallet look... even though they are real pallets made from pallet wood... Thank you for sharing your mad skills and time !!!
I made two very basic mini pallets from a pallet just with a hand saw and I thought how easy it would be of I had some more grown up kit... how wrong I was after watching this journey. Thank you for making this video for us.
Jackman, not every Country uses the same style of pallet as the USA. Over here in the UK, we used either standard British pallets or Euro pallets. Both of which are similar in design to Ben's tiny pallet (actually, his design was more like the standard British which is 1200mm x 1000mm). A scaled-down Euro pallet at 1200mm x 800mm would not work. However,ban Aussie 1m x 1m would.
We get those euro pallets over here too! I like them because they actually tend to be easier to take a apart, although they're rarely ever hardwood, so I don't work with them often.
The amount of work you put into your... work is as staggering and impressive as it is nauseating. The simple fact that you had to bend the paperclips to hang the pallets to dry FLOORED ME
Hey Paul, always great to see you come up with outstanding products from crappy pallet timber. Though I wish we had crappy pallet timber like you use, here in Australia, we mainly have pine wood pallets, not many hardwood pallets about any more. That buffing wheel set-up on your wood lathe looked very interesting, could you possibly do a video on that and other tools in your workshop. I'm always interested in what and how people have set up their workshops. Cheers Lloyd.
This was beautiful. Very moving. The best part was seeing the care and attention to detail and consistency that each individual pallet got. It takes a silly idea into a project that makes one proud. I actually feel quite a sense of satisfaction combined with good ol’ patriotism and love for a job done well. It’s a good feeling. Thank you for sharing it.
i love how you're making a template for every step, this make work with you easy and precise! this video is a free tutorial for anyone wants to perfect their work, from planning to packging. cannot thank you enough for this... amazing job as usual ♥
After seeing the segment where you were hanging them to dry, I am compelled to ask if you would be so kind as to make them in a smaller size, perhaps 1/4 of the coaster, and sell them as Christmas ornaments? Pretty please?
That was so beautiful, and fun to watch. I make pallet wood coasters that look like pallets. I have a lot of Hickory, because a lot of what I get for 'free' at work is hickory.(I'm a heavy duty body repair man and diesel/heavy equipment mechanic) Anyways, that's what I like to make "pallet-coasters, and trivets" out of hickory. Not the hardest wood out there, but it's inherently impact resistant, once it's covered with shellac, varnish, stain or urethane, or maybe mineral oil, they're very durable. Not "dishwasher-safe", but still durable, none the less. I made mine with a circular saw, and jigsaw cause it's all I've got for the moment. I really appreciate your attention to every detail. Great Video Brother. 😎
Paul , Funny I had a part time job once where we made skids (pallets). Maybe I will tell you how its done. We mat once at the NJ woodworking show . Nick from Techedfirman was looking for me and asked you if you saw me.
Different dimensions but mini pallets used to be in Dollar Trees. I bought... too many. Idk why they are so fun. I like that your homemade ones are so incredibly accurate though~
Awesome project! With all the detail of finishing them, they moved beyond accurate miniature pallets... to fine furniture miniature pallets! Your ability to do these types of projects (are you really sane?) is amazing! Great video edit as well! 👏👏👏
I would have ordered some Isotunes, but I already have the isotunes ear muffs with Bluetooth and love them, and I can answer phone and talk with them on. Have had them for approximately 2 years and won’t wear anything else
Loved every second of it... Now I want a remote controlled forklift. I assume you have to give them away otherwise you would be tempted to break them apart to make miniature shot glasses.
lol I made some of these out of popsicle sticks one time haha.. I wasn't doing it for any serious reason, just doing some home projects with my son and decided to do pallet coasters haha. I still have one of them. Yours look WAY better though
not gonna lie, I didn't hear a word you said at the end of the video. I was too distracted by the other guy playing with the forklift. haha. I have myself a couple pairs of ISOtunes now thanks to you. I got the Free Aware for working in the shop so that I'm free of wires but then I got the xtra 2.0 for my everyday work use. Anyway, Awesome project. I love the multi uses of a laser, we're considering getting one.
8:24 This is the most nerve wracking part of any build in my opinion. I can't even count how many times I've gotten here just to have it grab what I'm working on and chuck it straight at the wall.... And it's always the last polish wheel, "Fluffy" as I've come to call it, that gets me. Fluffy's a jerk haha
Haha yes!! This is why I made a few dozen extras, becase I lost at least a dozen between the router and the buffing wheel (mostly on the buffing wheel)
These look really awesome and you did a great job, but they would work a lot better with some kind of like felt or something so that liquid can’t drip through and the coaster would also then protect the surface.
It wasn't easy! For the first layer you can see the shim that hold it with a bit of a gap. Besides that, I used the jig for alignment and then removed it before the glue had fully cured, in case there was any squeeze out that got on it
Many years ago Costco was giving away mini-pallets with a paper cube on top. It may have been for new credit card applicants. I wish they would bring them back. I would pay for one.
I love your little toy pallet pick up thing. what the heck is it called? fork lift? sound right. I like your mini pallets. I'm sorry I don't need the ear plug things.
Wow, the details make this a top notch project, Paul, awesome and well done! I already have IsoTunes and I'm from The Netherlands, so that's a shame 'cause I sure would have added these to my cart!
Those are pretty funny! It seems like the pallets you always find and use have nice hardwoods whereas I seem to only find soft woods, occasionally red oak but pretty rare. What’s the secret?
The ISOTunes Extra that I got as a gift from my boss crapped out on me after just two years of on/off use. Before that, the controls were finicky, and it was always a challenge to hold the power button long enough to turn them off, but not long enough to go into Bluetooth pairing mode. (Sometimes they would say "power o-BLUETOOTH PAIRING MODE" and I'd have to try again anyways.) And the magnets were impossible to keep clean, one grinding session and they never reliably paused music again. IMO, maybe some of the higher end ones are better, but don't waste your money on the extra.
As daft as it is for anyone to be making tiny pallets, I have to say it was awesome and honestly I've been following your channel for a long time. Within the time I've followed your channel I do not recall you ever making a bad video. My only issue is that you don't upload often enough to your channel 😊🙄🤔😊
Don't tell anyone, but I might have a couple dozen "rejects" from this batch that I just need to touch up and then they'll be for sale on my website ;) (keep an eye on my Instagram for the announcement of when those become available)
idk, if i would unload such nice pallets, i would take them home for decoration.... ive never seen such clean pallets irl :D i was forklift driver. ive seen a lot of pallets :D
As a person who used to throw pallets for a living, your pallet throwing form is emaculate
What were you doing specifically, what was the purpose of removing the pallets from the premise?
@@V1c._. just moving them. Throw em from a stack onto a floor or off the floor onto a stack
@@Thoroughly_Wet gotcha, sounds kinda fun
used to stack 6/10 cans of tomatoes on palletts and such, w/ an electric fork lift. those are the best. palletts should be treated well, as they'll stack better. once saw the aftermath of a new kid who extended his boom too far, and ended up causing the boom to simply lean on the stack he'd already put there. wasn't hurt. frontward motion should be impossible on a thing like that.
watching you suffer through these tedious projects will always remain one of my favorite hobbies. whenever i think i've taken on a ridiculous project, i think "at least i'm not making 1000 of these!"
That's a good mindset to have! By the way, I love your videos!
These look so accurate and the view with only the pallets looks so real! Great job.
That was one of my favorite shots, once you get close enough, the sense of scale completely goes away and it seems like a normal stack of pallets
I love how the pallet coasters look like better pallets than actual pallets. That's coming from someone who has worked with palleted freight and has dismantled a ton of pallets to make plank walls in his studio. I wish all regular pallets were that pretty!
"better pallets than actual pallets" is the best feedback haha
Your attention to detail is on a whole new level. These are actually amazing. Other people making these would resort to 100% laser made with veneered plywood but using hardwood, scaling original measurements down is truly a scaled down actual pallet. Really, really cool.
If the next video isn’t you making a Jackman-sized-mega-pallet out of reclaimed tiny pallets, I’m unsubscribing.
I'd like to see the coffee table he makes from these small pallets 😊 And how much it sells for lol

the mini pallet clothesline killed me. Just seeing so many TINY pallets A+
Very cool! I thought for sure you'd go drop a mini one off at some of the regular places you find large pallets.
You are such an artist.
Video editing, work planning, project selection to execution. Absolutely superb.
Thank you so much 😀
Pallet jack is back with the mini pallet stack, alliteration attack, pallet accuracy fact, and epidemic soundtrack. He's a self torturing maniac!
Never seen so professional work with pallets ^^
I really appreciate your ingenuity and efficiency. Also, most craft channels that have absurdist humor normally make me cringe, but you I like.
Great work, as tedious as ever, but I love seeing the things you come up with to streamline the operation and make things repeatable. 🙌🏻
I think you've perfected the pico pallet. Can always count on you to go the extra 10 miles to accomplish the utterly ridiculous. Thanks for sharing!
Totally and utterly amazed by this whole process. My fingers ached just watching all of the sanding and holding of small parts.
Great project as ussual, your attention to detail and patience is always impressive!
Also, I call next turn with the RC Forklift
It's so much fun, I've wasted too much time just driving that thing around the shop trying to pick stuff up haha
Any link to the mini forklift? Great job on these also!
"...ensure that I still feel emotions" right in the feels bro 🤜🤛
I got you!

Perfect use of words starting with "P". They flowed together so well
Now you need to make some mini sized parallel clamps for clamping the pallets. Might as well go all the way. 😆
This is awesome. I 3D printed a few hundred mini pallets for a client using wood based PLA. Mini pallets are just coool.
And the Woby - Jackman feud keeps on rolling, we love to see it.
Just when everyone thought it was over, it’s back 😁
All the attention for all the details; thanks for the entertainment! Perfectly proportioned petite pallet presents
My pleasure ;)
Love them!!! The pallet king strikes again and all that tedious work paid off!
i love how you're making a template for every step, this make work with you easy and precise!
this video is a free tutorial for anyone wants to perfect their work, from planning to packging.
cannot thank you enough for this...
amazing job as usual ♥
mate! that was so cool. Love then detail form the laser. clever as!
I figured you’d be a fan of these 😂

Your madness knows no bounds. Thanks for making me feel normal(ish).
Any time!😂
Is it true joy to watch someone do something excellent. Even if it's as novel as pallet toasters. Thanks for the content.
Different dimensions but mini pallets used to be in Dollar Trees. I bought... too many. Idk why they are so fun.
I like that your homemade ones are so incredibly accurate though~
Very nicely done. I'm inspired. Cheers J
First time watcher here. You, sir, kept me interested and entertained through out the whole video. You got a new subscriber. Good job!
Welcome aboard!
Great job, nice touch with the laser etched nails
The best looking pallet wood anything I've ever seen!
Awesome project! With all the detail of finishing them, they moved beyond accurate miniature pallets... to fine furniture miniature pallets! Your ability to do these types of projects (are you really sane?) is amazing! Great video edit as well! 👏👏👏
What an awesome creation~! Too cool~! Love the lasered nail holes too.
Thank you so much!

Those are really neat, Paul. Crazy but neat. I was worried that you would sand off your laser engravings, but they survived. I hope you did, too.
Bill
lol I made some of these out of popsicle sticks one time haha.. I wasn't doing it for any serious reason, just doing some home projects with my son and decided to do pallet coasters haha. I still have one of them. Yours look WAY better though
love the gluing jigs!
You should make a mini Jackman for your mini forklift xD LOL

Wow. Thats amazing. How much time did you spend only fabricating?
Still one of my favorite woodworking YTers. Super cool, Paul. Cheers and Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much!! Merry Christmas!
Would be really cool to see you and Marling baits make some fishing lures from pallet Wood!
Okay, that intro is ADORABLE! Where'd you get the rc forklift and which controller are you using?
These videos are so fun (to watch...can't imagine execution!)
I'm new to this channel and have watched two videos of yours now in a row and I'm convinced that you own no less than a million clamps.
Very pallety. I’m surprised you didn’t just have the ideal pallet dimensions memorized by now.
All those pallet guys should be impressed!!
These look really awesome and you did a great job, but they would work a lot better with some kind of like felt or something so that liquid can’t drip through and the coaster would also then protect the surface.
How did you not glue the jigs together? Cant seem to keep the ca off everything it shouldn't be on. Nice job
It wasn't easy! For the first layer you can see the shim that hold it with a bit of a gap. Besides that, I used the jig for alignment and then removed it before the glue had fully cured, in case there was any squeeze out that got on it
Many years ago Costco was giving away mini-pallets with a paper cube on top. It may have been for new credit card applicants. I wish they would bring them back. I would pay for one.
Can be found on eBay in different branding - I found one by FedEx and one by Uline.
I love your little toy pallet pick up thing. what the heck is it called? fork lift? sound right. I like your mini pallets. I'm sorry I don't need the ear plug things.
Just saw this video and I'm blown away. Is there any coasters left and can I just get a set. ?
Wow, the details make this a top notch project, Paul, awesome and well done!
I already have IsoTunes and I'm from The Netherlands, so that's a shame 'cause I sure would have added these to my cart!
I recycle pallets at $2 a peace. You just showed how to make at least $500 from one pallet, thank you
I needed new earmuffs, and now I can safely store my tiny box collection too
So I’m not the only one who has a weird collection of tiny boxes I can never get myself to throw away?!
8:00 - a literal production line :D
My favorite series, entertaining as always.
What I like about them the most is, like a real pallet, each one is a little different.
Already 'need' the RC Forklift. Been following this 'build' on Instagram. Great to see the video! 👍
The fact that I could charge that on the business card might be the best part of this project
I caught your video a month too late as a first time viewer. I really wish you would make more! Subscribed either way.
0:23 was all I needed to know what kind of man I was dealing with. subbed.
I’m just here for the RC forklift 😂
Worth every penny
7:30 looks like you are making a delicious pallet tiramisu
Those are pretty funny! It seems like the pallets you always find and use have nice hardwoods whereas I seem to only find soft woods, occasionally red oak but pretty rare. What’s the secret?
I just ordered mine with a set of the Free 2.0 earbuds!
One of your BEST vids yet! 🍻

Love the attention to detail!
Thank you! Cheers!
Where did you get the sanding mop that you used on the drill press to soften the corners?
I’ve been looking for something like that.
That's from Klingspor! I love it, only complaint is that I wish the paper lasted longer, but they do make refill packs.
Great video. Now, are you going to rip apart some small pallets to recreate a "Jackman size" in miniature form?
wow they look so awesome!!!! what a great video!! Merry Christmas
Incredible work and attention to detail.
Brilliant job!!

Within the time I've followed your channel I do not recall you ever making a bad video. My only issue is that you don't upload often enough to your channel 😊🙄🤔😊
Thanks for the details. That what makes things great.
Didnt think i would care at all. But these are actually awesome
Great job👏
Oh man. I got here 3 months too late. I desperately want a few sets. Would love to buy some!
Don't tell anyone, but I might have a couple dozen "rejects" from this batch that I just need to touch up and then they'll be for sale on my website ;) (keep an eye on my Instagram for the announcement of when those become available)
@@JackmanWorks done! :D they look great 👍 should ask first if you could do shipping to the land of kangaroos n beaches 🙃😁
Mate, you have to be mental to take on a project like this. But I Love it and your whole setup is very impressive!!! 👍
Crazy question. How much did that cost you to make. From start to finish.
All that sanding is real neat, but is it really a pallet if it doesn't give you splinters?
Dude a don't no if your fricking nuts or an evil genius!😯🤔👏🏴
really cool. creative. I have an idea for an image on a coaster. enjoy your 'R&R' soundtrack.
fantastic build!!!!
Thank you!
I'm just sitting here amazed at you using a vacuum to retrieve your laser engraved pieces. 😲
idk, if i would unload such nice pallets, i would take them home for decoration.... ive never seen such clean pallets irl :D i was forklift driver. ive seen a lot of pallets :D
