Make a Cable Spool Pallet Bench - DIY Pallet Project
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 тра 2024
- When you're a DIYer and you see a giant, abandoned cable spool on the side of the road, your first thought is "I could make something with that!" And that's exactly what happened when JZ saw a cable spool in the same spot for weeks.
After checking to be sure it wasn't claimed by anyone (and that it wasn't illegal to take it), we loaded it up on the truck and started thinking through what we could make with a giant cable spool. A serendipitous need for new outdoor seating under the tent on the patio led us to this: a Cable Spool Pallet Bench.
We secured some pallets thanks to finding a listing on Marketplace and went to work creating the Cable Spool Pallet Bench. Note that if you aren't fortunate enough to find a cable spool on the side of the road, you can likely find one on Craigslist or Marketplace, which is also where you can find pallets for this DIY project.
We take you through step by step in this video on how to make a Cable Spool Pallet Bench. Check it out, and let us know what you think in the comments below.

I used to always see these for free on the side of the road. Then I always see them turned into tables - this is a new spin to it. Love it! Good job
Thank you! We’re glad you like it. I can’t see a cable spool now without wanting to grab it! 👀 🖐🏻
Awesome project guys! That’s so much sanding though. Well thought out and I love the tape fail at the start of it 😂
Haha - thanks! 😂
Wow guys that looks amazing. What a brilliant idea. Enjoyed the vid
Thanks! It was a fun, if incredibly heavy, build. :)
Great work!
Thank you!!
Quality job guys, solid as a rock and looking good.
Thanks Karl! We appreciate you checking it out.
I like how you stretched it out to make the width you needed. looks great.
Thanks Shaun! Glad you like it. :)
What a cool project! I love that you had the creativity to see a bench out of a giant cable spool roll. This is what it's all about! Cheers!
Thank you! So glad you like it. We never know how these projects are going to turn out, so we were happy to see that it actually came together (and is quite comfortable, too!). 😉
amazing video wow what a beautiful project Ty 😀
Thanks for watching and for the kind words!!
Awesome job, that bench turned out great!
Thanks Grant - so glad you like it!
This turned out amazing!
When I was a kid, my dad somehow brought home a spool that was probably 8-10 feet across.
He framed some walls on the outside, took a few sheets of 1/4 plywood, and wrapped it around the outside and we had a playhouse!
Oh what a cool idea!! That must have been so fun to have as a kid. There’s actually another spool sitting right outside here, but it’s full of power line...line. 👀
Wow, what a bench! Free spool too, score! You could totally make and sell these, no doubt! Great video guys, stay safe.
Free makes it even better! Two pieces of furniture and super comfortable, too!
Yes! 🤜🏻🤛🏻... this is awesome!! Love love love! Great project guys.
Side note... in my head I wondered how it would be with curved bottom... like a double rocker chair/bench🤔🤗
Thank you!! We considered doing a rocker, but we wanted the side tables more. If you find a spool, give the rocker a try!!
Just Might DIY Will do! 😃 ahh yes, that would make sense... I didn’t think of that haha I would have done both and then after Id be like, ooops that doesn’t work 😂😂 with everything falling off the table. Would make for a good blooper though 😉🙈
Very nice 😊 I can't find these large cable spools, but the design is all that matters 😊 Blessings to you both ॐ
Glad you like it!! We were lucky to find a spool on the side of the road. Thanks for watching. 😊
That was unbelievable. Great work!
Thanks! You'll have to see it in person sometime. Cheers!
This must have been super daunting to take on, but you two did great! It's a super creative way to repurpose a cable spool. Awesome work!
Thank you! It was pretty daunting, but we're really happy with how it turned out! So glad you like it. :)
I love the transformation! Good job!
Thank you! So glad you like it!!
What a project! Great job. It's beautiful!
Thanks! And it's amazing comfortable - even without the cushions. So glad you like it!
That came out great! Tell Daniel to tone down the kung fu to keep the pieces in useable condition lol!
Thanks. Truth is, we couldn't get hardly any of our projects finished without Daniel's kung fu. Watch for more kicks fast as lightning!
That came out really nice. Great job and I bet it weighs a ton.
Hey there - thanks! It’s heavy AF but sturdy as hell. 💪🏻
Cool project! Great video and result! 😊👍
Thanks so much! Glad you like it. 😀
Looking at the thumbnail and realizing you did not pay for the wood, I was thinking, that is really nice looking for the price, but the cushions made it awesomer (if that is a word). Great job you two!!!
Thanks so much! If “awesomer” isn’t a word already, l say we make it one. 😉 Really glad you liked it.
Ahhh no
Haha sorry?
