PSA: NOT ALL PALLETS ARE SAFE FOR WOODWORKING (OR BURNING) All pallets should be stamped with the treatments they have received and I definitely recommend looking up how to read those stamps before working with them. Most in my area are domestic pallets that just have a HT (heat treated) or KD (kiln dried) coding and should be as safe as any wood. Stay away from pallets labeled SF (sulphuryl fluoride) or MB (methyl bromide). Do your own research because codes and treatments may be different in your region. ALWAYS wear a dust mask specifically designed and OSHA approved for dust when sanding or using any power tool that creates airborne dust. A medical mask is not that same as a dust mask.

Where to begin? First of all, your craftsmanship is wonderful! Add to that the incredible job you did editing this video - fantastic production value! Great job all around. Congratulations!
I just started watching your channel and am blown away by your level of craftsmanship, breadth of skills and attention to detail. This project is jaw-dropping, like so many of the others you've posted (brass hammer, the bowl you turned, and so on), plus your editing and musical choices are top notch. I didn't hesitate to subscribe. Well done, keep up the fantastic work, and best of luck catching 'Acceleratii incredibus'! 😉
It's great to see someone young learning to do things the proper way and using hand tools instead of always grabbing the power tools for ease. You did a lovely job and the tool box looks quite professional.
It’s not perfect but I’m very happy with it! I definitely use both but I want to develop the skill and discipline to use hand tools as much as possible. Sometimes it’s even faster than setting up a whole router jig for something like this. Thanks for watching!
I like the idea of drilling out and gluing dowels in the nail holes versus wood filler. I think that will last longer and it might be cheaper considering all the nail holes some pallets have.
Man, you have amazing hand skills, old fashion carpentry done masterfully. You made it out of pallet wood to boot. Beautiful box for your finer tools. Subscribed.
I love this project so much. I keep watching it again and again. I don’t even have the skills 😂 yet but I would really love to be able to build something like this.
I know this is an old video, but man is this a great build. Love the editing and music as well. Craftsmanship like this gives me inspiration for my builds. Thank you for sharing and now have a new subscriber
Incredible Craftsmanship! Great job. You don't have every single tool that maybe you would have liked to have for this build but you still made it and made it well! That makes it that much more impressive!
Excellent job; a great use of old pallets. You've managed to turn junk into something of real value. Thanks for sharing your idea and obvious skills. Best wishes.
Wow that project!! And really appreciate the quality of the video! Covers the build without over saturating with every detail! Great music too. Just s as Lol around 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you I really appreciate it! 🙏🏻 I had a lot of fun with it! Yes, I tried to keep the pace snappy while still making sense. Glad to hear you like it! 🙂
Thanks for watching! You don't need too much to get started! My recommendation is to always pick a project you want to do then get the minimum tools you need to make it or make do with what you have as much as possible. You will quickly build a collection of tools, but won't end up with a bunch of tools you don't need (yet).
That is one SWEET tool box, I love the look and solid construction. I don't think I would throw my dirty tools in there maybe it would be good for a camera. Or as an heirloom box. Thanks for sharing Kelsey and keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching! The lining is definitely overkill for the tools I’m putting in it, but a lot of vintage machinist toolbox’s have felt in them. Basically big jewelry boxes for precision steel!
Making something is generally in my experience a series of mistakes and problem solving. I try to show as much of that as I can while still having a somewhat clear narrative 😂 thanks for watching!
Well this box took forever to make haha 😂 the beauty of reclaimed wood is it looks great when you leave it rustic or if you want to you always spend a day sanding it. The choice is yours!
@@kelseywatson1974 White Oak is about my favorite wood, so I think your box looks great. I have a walnut Gerstner tool box, and I wish it was white oak!
@@Bob_Adkins it’s true white oak gets no love but it’s beautiful wood especially when it has an interesting grain pattern which I believe comes from being quarter sawn but I’m not sure. Walnut is beautiful too though! I haven’t had much to work with but it does seem to splinter more easily than the oak
First time seeing one of your videos. Very refreshing style. Subscribed in the first minute. You have a new follower and I look forward to watching them all.
Thanks so much for watching! Go for it! It’s a fun project and the lining was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Very satisfying every time I need a tool from it 😎
Great outcome considering its from pallet wood. The red interior was an excellent choice as was the chrome hardware! Very good photography and editing. Subscribed!
Thanks for watching, commenting, and subscribing! I was really happy with how nice the pallet wood actually looked after sanding and finishing. Who knew it could clean up that well!
I know it’s wild! Years from now when they go to remodel homes built in 2020-21 they may find some creative uses for pallet wood under the sheetrock 😂 thanks for watching!
Wow. I loved this video. Your craftsmanship, style and music all works beautifully. I love how you turned pallet wood into that gorgeous box using such simple tools. I love when people use these simpler tools because it’s so rare nowadays. And I’m one of the people who still does it since I don’t have a table saw, planer, bandsaw etc. Everthing you did in this video, inspired me. I made a similar project a few months back using pallet wood however mine was not quite as well made as yours. I just cut the boards to sides and nailed them together to make a box, then used 3M spray glue to apply my lining. Absolute disaster. The way you do it has inspired me how you do it so accurately and calmly. Is that pallet wood oak? It’s beautiful! Subscribed!
Thanks for watching and subscribing! It’s much appreciated! 🙏🏻 The wood is indeed white oak and it appears to be quarter sawn, which gives it that really nice grain pattern. PVA glue (aka white Elmers glue) like I used is definitely the way to go with lining like this because you have a few extra seconds to adjust the fabric before it starts to bond. Spray glue and contact cement have to be perfect 😅
@@kelseywatson1974 you know your stuff man. Quarter sawn white oak pallets! Fancy! Yeah I was using very thin faux velvet, which was just too thin so I had to use foam A4 sheets to back it. I wanted a glue that was strong and had no soak in so it wouldn’t go through the fabric. It still went through because I oversprayed it I think. Really boring product to work with imo. I masked off and still got loads of overspray on my oak box. Sticky on the hands 😬
I know right?! I wasn’t expecting it at all from pallet wood out of the trash! Apparently a lot of that patterning comes from being quarter sawn at the wood mill rather than flat sawn
I loved it. Great little project. But.... PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE...Lower the music in the final mix so that it’s lower than the ambient sound of the tools.
Most of it I found on eBay. The corners were amplifier corners and the latches guitar case latches actually. The hinges were new old stock from maybe the 50s. It adds a lot to the project to use hardware you can't find at the big box store imo. Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it! I use a royalty free music service called epidemic sound, they have a pretty good selection from many talented artists
Thank you! Most of the hardware is vintage things I found on eBay for relatively cheap. The corners are from an amp and the latches are from a guitar case. The hinges are new old stock vintage hinges. The handles are modern road case handles, but I think they all work together well enough.
Thanks for watching! It’s a few coats of shellac with a light sanding between coats then some paste wax on top. Such a quick and easy process but I think it came out great and has held up really well. The shellac really brings out the grain patterns too!
Thanks for watching! Much appreciated 🙏🏻 It’s just a standard Dremel, but I’ve use a few of the other consumer rotary tools and they all work about the same to me

Thanks for watching! Yes I do some leatherwork too! I made this took box to hold all my leather working tools. I have another project recently where I made a wood and leather tool tote if you’re interested in seeing those tools in action!
@@kelseywatson1974 yeah stick the link in the chat I'll have a look. It's what I do leatherwork, keep toying with setting up a UA-cam channel but I really haven't got the patience with all the filming so fair play to you pal. Had a flick through some of your videos and subbed, your woodwork is outstanding 👏
@@klj43va filming probably adds twice the amount of time to a project easily! So I don’t blame you but you should give it a try! This was a pretty simple leather project but it was fun combining the two materials ua-cam.com/video/2F7VQbXKvAg/v-deo.html
I'm 65 years old and have never seen an oak pallet. I called 2 pallet distributors and one laughed at me when I asked for an oak pallet, the other asked what imbecile would make a pallet out of oak and hung up on me. Finally found a private seller who would sell me a used oak pallet for $200.
I would not pay that! We have tons of oak pallets around me. I got mine for free from the trash. Apparently, some places in South America use mahogany! As far as I know, it’s just a regional thing based on what wood is plentiful

Your workmanship, and care AND video production skills is absolutely OFF THE CHAIN! Awesome job! Thanks for the inspiration and the know-how!
Thanks for watching--it's much appreciated! Not much know-how here, but if it gave you some inspiration then mission accomplished! 😃
This is one of the best pallet projects I have seen on youtube. Amazing.

Lovin that cinematography 😎 groovey
It is great! Thank you!

Holy cow. That thing is absolutely beautiful. Nice work!
Simply outstanding,,, amazing finish to the wood with basic tools,,,
Thanks for watching!
Dude that's an amazing work. You even showed your mistakes and how you got over them, that's amazing!
Thank you! I try to show as many mistakes as I can while still having the video make sense 😂
This is awesome - great work! Love the brand. :)

folding wedges are great
Superb project, very well done, excellent finish, it's all in the details 👍
Thank you! I was really happy with how that finish came out and it was really simple. Just a few coats of shellac and then some paste wax
Great video! Love to see someone working with what they've got. Keep it up and you'll have all the bells and whistles soon enough. Great job.
Thanks for watching! Figuring out how to make due with the tools you have is part of the fun! Most of the time anyway 😅
Brilliant!

Thank you! 😊
This is fantastic.
Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
Nice!
Good job picking out hardwood. Finish looks great, like hard oil. Glad you didn't stain it. Reminds me somewhat of Mr Chickadee's workmanship.
Thanks for watching! I know white oak isn't the most desirable wood but I though the natural grain with the oil came out great!

Gotta say it....the wood has good grain figure

I loved it. Great little project. But....
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE...Lower the music in the final mix so that it’s lower than the ambient sound of the tools.
Amazing! Is there a box available that says “SanzSteins” ?
Haha no, but I think you could design a cool trademark with that!
Very neat. Where did you find that hardware?
Most of it I found on eBay. The corners were amplifier corners and the latches guitar case latches actually. The hinges were new old stock from maybe the 50s. It adds a lot to the project to use hardware you can't find at the big box store imo. Thanks for watching!
how thick is the wood you used?

Awesome piece! Appreciated the rasp work. What finish did you use bud?
Thanks for watching! It’s a few coats of shellac with a light sanding between coats then some paste wax on top. Such a quick and easy process but I think it came out great and has held up really well. The shellac really brings out the grain patterns too!

@@kelseywatson1974 The reason I asked was it had an extension so it seemed more accurate since you weren’t holding the motor. The extension almost looked like a drill bit chuck. Thanks!
@@JayRH13 yessir the extension is a super nice feature that came with it. It’s not the most flexible tube but it does work. I think they make smaller ones now that only have a small cord which would be great for a lot of detail work.

Amazing job. What is the tool al 4:15?
