I can’t get enough of seeing old, forgotten, and beat up wood restored. There’s something about watching the inner beauty shine again that gets me every time!

[@lynnburke4403]

The author does like to from scratch, ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practise the full stack project, is still great.

[@russelblackwell6041]

Seriously Sir what a talent simply stunning unit just watching you do some of your work from the old school carpentry even re using the nails nice to see you using glue not just nail guns even the way you use 2wedges when clamping timber to laminate .
And what about your workshop WOW must admire and appreciate the years it takes to get to your wide range of tools loved the hole saw cutter idea then run the saw through to give you 2 pieces for the wine bottles the way you made the supports instead of mortice with chisel you cut small blocks and then made a top and bottom section you know your craft .
Working with timber can take your mind away from life's problems much like going fishing
at least one cant tell the story of that big fish that got away.

Another wonderful piece. Your videos are the most inspiring things right now in this “stay at home/COVID” time. It’s over one hundred degrees here in Texas right now, and I don’t have a shop. But as soon as the weather cools a bit, I’ll start breaking down more pallets. I followed your other Narnia cabinet design and used it as my outdoor dust collection cabinet! Love your woodworking.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks Don. 100 degrees sounds pretty uncomfortable. It rarely gets near to that over here in the UK :)

[@elainehoward8822]

OMGOSH I can’t wait for part 2. I love watching when you are making a big project like this, it’s absolutely amazing watching a master carpenter at work. My poor husband couldn’t make a table, if you gave him four legs, and a square piece of wood. On the other hand you make exquisite custom furniture from old pallet crates. Your good lady wife must be the envy of all her friends. I hope it’s not to long before part two. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

This may be a completely boring video suggestion, but I would really appreciate seeing how you go about breaking a pallet down. You seem to have got it down to a pretty good art whereby you harvest the slats, the bracers and the nails.
