Dude I have been a cabinet maker for 45 years, this is one of the coolest table tops I have ever seen, from a fellow craftsman, well done, my father let him rest taught me everything I know and I wish he was alive today to see what you made. Keep up the excellent work and make the real tradesman proud.
Hi Jim, you should be very happy that you had someone teaching you. I'm just learning from UA-cam and trial/error, sometimes a tough road 🤠. Thanks for your comment, means a lot
I just built my first little wooden entry table the other day (a project that required 5% of the impressive skillset you show here) and even then I felt so proud of my little creation. I have a lot of respect for you, your effort and time you put into this and I'm glad you were compensated for it. Subscribed because of the non-intrusive way it was asked.
Fam you deserve all the subscribers! You kept it real no BS UA-cam magic editing you haves us the flaws and all. Honestly those additions showed how you made this a better project. Thank you for that.
I've been subscribed for a while but I just seen this today and also your "bedroom pallet" build video... haha... love your sense of humor and it is an inspiration. I too, use pallets and build all kinds of things... YES a "pallet buster" tool and "pneumatic de-nailer" are a MUST if your are serious about doing things with pallets. For the past 5 years+ I had been using a circular saw/reciprocating saw etc...EVEN a chainsaw to ease the dismantling process for pallets. It ALWAYS came down to the crowbar/hammer etc.... It is so cool to see like-minded people. If you want to DO THIS? GET A PALLET BUSTER(swivel-end type) AND a de-nailer... your welcome. (I speak from experience)
I can’t believe you made something so beautiful from scrap. It’s pretty cool that the pieces came from so many different countries. A truly international table lol.
First and foremost, thank you for this video. It’s nice to see you admit and show the mistakes you feel you made. That’s very humble and appreciated from me especially as a much less experienced woodworker of sorts. Secondly, the end product of your labour turned out beautifully, great job!!
Oh and this is the first of your videos I’ve seen so I’m not sure if it’s a consistent thing as it was in this video but may I kindly suggest you turn up your commentary or turn down the background sounds/music. It was just a bit difficult to hear your commentary at some points in the video
Hey Jesper love the table. It would have been cool to have had more of the pallet labels on the side but still an awesome project. Thanks for the mention 👍🏻
Thanks, yeah I needed to sand it down a few times, so that took some of it, the owner seems to think theres a good balance betweeen pallet references and tabletop. I was happy to mention you, you're one of my absolute favorite channels to look for answers and ideas on how to solve things.
You gave me the courage to start my woodworking journey, I'm making a ton of mistakes, but I'm also learning a lot. Thank you from the bottom of my heart
I rarely ever comment on any profile's videos, however this video was simply incredible. The cinematography, audio, and woodworking were all spectacular.
I like your open and honest approach, I also particularly like and respect that you recommend other woodworkers on the platform. This video is interesting, informative and entertaining, and I am very pleased to have found your channel and to have subscribed. From pallet scraps to an original and unique table was really enjoyable to see, and you are clearly very experienced in what you do.
Hey thanks Felix, and yeah I wouldn't be anything at all without all the other better makers on the platform and everywhere else, it's only appropiate to mention them when you can.
Thank you Jasper for your videos. I love the way you show us the mistakes you did, to help us to avoid them. And I love the table. I am thinking on really try it!!
Hey Carlos, I'm thrilled to hear you're considering giving it a shot! Remember, every mistake is just a learning opportunity in disguise. Can't wait to hear how your table turns out! Cheers! 🛠
I just wanna say this build inspired me to start building my own furniture, and I'm currently in the process of making my first coffee table. Much love man

Hello my dear friend Jesper, It's such a great design. Freelance style and decoration from pallet blocks. It was a good idea to flatten it with the router. It was nice that you kept the rustic look. nice sanding and polishing at long intervals. The result is magnificent. A wonderful rustic look. all the colors are vibrant and flamboyant. you did a great job. This coffee table is really beautiful. Decorative and stylish. Real recycling and pleasure. Congratulations. Thank you for sharing all the details. I also love the video recording technique. fluid and film quality. I see the tags of many of our mutual friends in you. That makes me happy. (I did a similar work with epoxy resin 2 years ago. And I was disappointed. The result was unsuccessful. And I guess I didn't know the intricacies of working with epoxy resin at that time. This was my epoxy resin adventure too) :-) See you always. Stay healthy and happy. Big greetings. Kind regards. Your friend Mehmet
Hi Mehmet, thank you so much for watching my film! I think it turned out great in the end, and I learned so much. I will definately do more epoxy resin projects in the future. Used right it can really add something to a table, and it can allow you to use wood that othervise could not have been used (e.g. rotten wood etc. ) Some of the blocks in this table came from Turkey, and whenever I look at the table I think of how it came together with parts from all over the planet. What are you working on right now?

@@JesperMakes 🙏👍Yes, Jesper. I agree with you. Pieces from different countries. (You wrote that you also came from Turkey in your video) recycling and it was a great result. I'm making a dresser these days. A nightstand with 2 drawers. I shared some tips pictures on Instagram. I hope the video will be on my channel in 1 week. See you later. Take care of yourself. Cheers Jesper. Your friend Mehmet.
Your work is Beautifully Genius. I work for the “king” of fasteners (distribution) and I too have a passion for working with reclaimed pallets and skids - so the aforementioned lends me access to assortment from around the globe. Sometimes I have to put the projects on hold, just to spend several days breaking down pallets, cleaning and sorting, cutting, sizing and inventorying (OCD and ADT makes this process overwhelming,but I get it done). Your video on “How to dismantle pallets without destroying them” was full of knowledge! Anyway - You have mad skills in the pallet shop my man !! I have subscribed and while I do some watch over you past videos, I look for to your new ones. Keep on, Keepin’ on !!!!
Thank you Calvin, it's very thoughtful of you to make this comment. Preparing your material always takes some time, whether it's dismantling pallets or sawing up logs on the mill. Take care, and keep on building!
Very nice Jesper! I have made a few table tops from pallet wood. Instead of glue and acrylic, I use construction adhesive to fill the gaps and nail holes. The result is amazing.
Watched Dainer Made video for first time and he referred your UA-cam channel and said you do amazing stuff and he was right! Thanks for letting us see you create and inspire us!
I am very new to woodworking and your videos really give some great tips and tricks and you give some really great insight. Glad to watch all the way from South Africa!
Just a random viewer here, what a fantastic table! Love the way it came out. But also I was excited by your first too dark finish as well. Japanese lacquer. I understand why you made the choice you did, but it would have been stunning either way. Now I have to look at your other videos as well, because the editing and production was excellent. Thanks for posting!
It's admirable that you didn't edit out your mistakes, thank you for keeping it authentic. Most my mistakes work out lol, most don't as well, thing is I learn from every one! Thanks so much for some great tips! Also some fellow links & resources..that's decent. Great table btw, no doubt it sold, it's Spectacular!! Well made! Solid!
Wow, thank you for the compliment! I'm flattered that you think my mistakes are admirable. To be honest, I'm just too lazy to go back and edit them out. Keeping it authentic is just my way of saying "hey, I'm human and I make mistakes too!" As for my table, I'm glad you think it's spectacular and well made. It was a labor of love, but I'm happy to report that it did indeed sell (for a decent price, I might add). Thanks again for your kind words and for watching my video. I'm always happy to share my tips and resources with fellow creators. Keep on learning and making mistakes, they can be great teachers!
Excelente trabajos Jesper. Muy buena idea para reciclar esos pedazos de madera que generalmente se queman. Felicitaciones. un Abrazo de Santa Cruz, Argentina
I have 3 pallets out the back from a retaining-wall job that we did last year. I contemplated using them to either build a doghouse or use them as walls for a compost heap. You have inspired me to aim higher. Thanks..!
Sharing the mistakes might seem small, but that alone might save someone who's learning a lot of time, money, and heartache, good stuff sir! Subscribed
Great job! I loved watching your trials and errors and how you fixed them. It turned out great…I just hope your wife wasn’t too disappointed that you decided to sell it! 😉
Ahaha 😂 - I sold it, but my wife was in on that decision, and I promise you my wife AND our house are not missing out on weird things made from reclaimed wood 😁.
Hi just seen your video. Wow. Your table top looks absolutely gorgeous and it was fun to see you go through all the tries and mistakes which many of us actually do on the the way to finding what we want and find beautiful. Congratulations on a wonderful piece of craftmanship. Your wife must have a big smile when she saw it in its finished form as it would lift the energy of any place you had it.
Thanks Tara, in the beginning I was trying to be perfect, but no one likes that, so now I just leave in all the embarrassing stuff and errors I do, and my channel exploded... So much for wanting to be an expert 😜
What a pleasure it was to watch this video! All the effort you go to in filming and editing is worth it. A++ :) and wow what a brilliant finish to that table, just gorgeous
I have watched only 2 of your videos as I found your channel yesterday, but man this is good stuff. This is so pure and honest, somehow you make fancy crafts without doing much fancy work. As an amateur/beginner woodworker this channel is great to learn from and I love your vibe. Greetings from Finland!
Thanks a bunch! I'm also really happy about this video, it looks like youtube had some people who previously had searched for something with pallet blocks without any good results, so it decided to serve this video to them in their feed.
Thanks for the kind words! I'm always happy to share my woodworking with anyone who is interested. And don't worry about your English language skills - woodworking is a universal language, and we can all communicate through the language of sawdust and power tools. Keep on enjoying the videos and maybe one day you'll be building your own projects too!
This is so awesome man. I take woodworking as a bit of a hobby and not a job so I'm no way as good as you, but man this is such an inspiration. The way you show that even though you're awesome at what you do, you still learn to make do with the mistakes that were made and STILL end up with an amazing result. Will for sure be watching this video when I decide to make a coffee table of my own. Keep it up man, subbed instantly.
This is the first time I've subscribed to a channel. This is the second or third video of yours that I watched. The first one was the pallet block river table. As I recall there were a couple videos grouped with that one. Everything of yours I watched was inspiring and entertaining. I hope folks take your lead and start picking up discarded objects and making stuff out of it. It is that easy. Then after a while, The stuff you make Performs its intended function and is pleasing to the eye as well. Your editing is slick and keeps simple animals like me glued to the screen. Go Jesper Go!
BRAVO!! Beautiful table. I may build one like that for my kitchen table. AWESOME project! Very creative as I would have never thought about doing that with pallet blocks! Checking out another of your videos next.
@@JesperMakes Sho Sugi Ban table finish.. I ended up watching a couple last night and a couple more this morning. I see used pallets as an under-utilized resource for woodworkers..
Never would have thought I'd use a block like that what a beautiful piece good job absolutely amazing the way the grains go against one another color contrast between species absolutely beautiful 💯👍
Just got into woodworking recently - the table is very sick, but I love the production of the video just as much. Great Cuts storytelling, grading and music.. Subscribed and wish you every success with the channel
Jesper what a killer video, well done! I sat with a smile on my face the whole way through! A1 work on the editing, pacing, storytelling, and of course, the woodworking! Well done!
Hi Mario, thanks so much for watching. Those words coming from you means a lot. When looking a the raw footage it was quote boring with all that gluing and sanding, so I tried to jazz it up a little.
Well done Jesper, that came out great ! Yea you are right, it does look much better after the re sand and finish. Another epic video too, I always enjoy them. Thank You for the awesome shout out as well mate, Much Appreciated, Cheers !
Hi David, thank you for your support, I was happy to be able to make a short plug for your awesome channel mate. I hope to do more in the future. I'll do some more epoxy resin projects and I'll talk about the master of resin in those...
I kind of agree with "Coffee solves everything", but you know what?, Coffee + Your worklog videos, makes a perfect morning... Love it man!, thanks for sharing your art.
So my wife thought the first few seconds should be compulsory viewing for all makers.... then on second viewing, I came to realise you said you made this FOR your wife.... then sold it to the Bar instead 🤣 Brave man. Thanks for the shoutout, and what a great learning project. Yep, cheap wood will soak up resin like a sponge. I don't think many people have ever taken fire to a resin project either 😂 But the bar got a bargain... would have been a grand in resin in there alone.
Thanks James, I'm currently building another coffee table, and you can be sure I don't take any selling decisions without my wife's approval 😁. It looks like people enjoy this video, UA-cam keeps recommending it to new people, so the time spent on editing could be worth while. Thanks to both of you 💖 for supporting me, it means a lot.
Some people really like the unique stuff, try looking at Etsy and see what people buy. If you are targeting the IKEA segment of buyers, yes, you'll get 50 bucks
You’ve earnt a subscription from me mate. I first came to your page after a recommendation from Mark Dainer. Came back again yesterday and watched your euro pallet busting tips. Worked a treat saved me hours of work.
I love this video. You are a world class craftsman. Look, the idea of craft is not = to science or flawless design. It is a person who does cool stuff. You are there. Never appologize. Thank You.
Hi Rodger, thank you so much for the nice comment, I find this very funny and fulfilling to do, and I just hope to inspire others to not being afraid to start building something. Cheers mate
Spectacular! Love the table! Like the way you filmed the video. And dig the song towards the end! I look forward to watching more of your stuff!! Nice work
This is the second vid of yours that I have watched today, I was subbed before the ask, I truly enjoy what your doing. Not only that but I am learning, thank you for producing such great content.
That's awesome to hear you're enjoying the content and picking up some new skills along the way! Thanks for being a subscriber and sticking around. More cool stuff coming your way, so stay tuned! Cheers! 🛠️🎥
great video, i’ve got a bunch of these same kinda wood block, just waiting for you to share your method. thanks for sharing. it is also refreshing to hear your danish accent, half my family is danish.
This is really great work. Including your mistakes is really useful for someone trying to learn about woodwork. Also, don’t worry about asking for subscriptions. People with far lower quality content do it, and yours is awesome.
Thank you for the kind words! I'm always happy to share my mistakes and learning experiences with others, because let's face it, we all make mistakes when we're starting out (and sometimes even when we're more experienced). And you're right, there's no shame in asking for subscriptions - we all need a little support and encouragement to keep creating and sharing our work. Thanks for the support, and happy woodworking!
Great project and excellent video. I love how you just start it and see where it goes and adjust your process to what is needed. That's a lot like how I do my projects. Also, I like your choice of whiskey!
New subscriber and binge watcher here, love your content Jesper! Also really respect the way you responded to one of the very negative fellows on here, class act you are! Cheers from Northern California!
Thanks mate, I really appreciate your comments. I really like indepth comments, both positive and negative. There's often a lot of honesty and truth hidden in the very negative comments and I learn a lot from them.
One of Dainer's video popped up randomly in my feed and he mentioned your channel. Came here and that pallet block coffee table made me an instant subscriber! Beautiful work!
Great video great instructions. The thing I like the most is that you don't "go with the curve" you make your own wave with your own ideas and work. Subscribed
First-class table, mate... loved it...!!! Having worked with epoxy quite a bit myself, I feel your pain as far as the leaking, sealing, sanding... more leaking... more sanding... blah blah blah blah... but the effort shines through in the finished product...! Well done...! :)
My dog chewed my coffee table make me one too lol. I just got a bunch of free pallets I wasnt sure how to take them apart until I saw your video on how to. Thanks for sharing your pallet knollege
@@JesperMakes Not yet I am building a pallet dismantler with a little Native knollege from my ansestors. I was going to build a big wedge and push the pallets down with a ratchet strap. That didnt work so good lots of boards broke and cracked. My next attempt at this will be a big lever I built for about 1 cdn dollar in screws. I will post my video soon all tag you in it when it is ready.
Absolutely tremendous work! Such a novel idea and a stunning result! Intrigued to try something similar but the sheer cost of the epoxy is a little intimidating... Could obviously square up the blocks and fill the nail holes first to reduce gaps but I think the black voids are part of the charm. Also, video is beautifully produced and has a real sense of narrative. Well done.
Thank you for your kind words and insightful feedback! I'm flattered that you find my work absolutely tremendous. I agree that the black voids are charming and the epoxy cost is worth it for stunning results. I'm glad you enjoyed the video's production and narrative. Thank you for your support and thoughtful comments. Keep on woodworking!
I love DIY, so far I broke a ton of stuff but I really enjoy watching people who can make stuff. This is a brilliant project, so I'm going to attempt to make something myself
Just came for dainer made. Was directed to you. Subscribed to both channels. I am a hobbyist. I want to pick up woodworking again. Nice channel. I love unique stuff
This is the 1st time I've watched a video of yours (after watching my 1st Dainer Made vid) & I love the block table. Nice craftmanship on the table! It tell ppl a story just by looking at it. Now I'm off to watch the pallet bedroom vid.
I love how you show a REAL woodworking experience where not everything goes perfect and as planned, awesome video!
Thank you very much!
@@JesperMakes Lookpools
Oo
Poool
Olol
Yeah I like that everything doesn't go perfect. Shows it's not staged
I agree. It seems the story of my life is integrating mistakes into the finished product.
things rarely go as planned for home woodworkers ;)

Congratulations on a wonderful piece of craftmanship. Your wife must have a big smile when she saw it in its finished form as it would lift the energy of any place you had it.
Thanks Tara, in the beginning I was trying to be perfect, but no one likes that, so now I just leave in all the embarrassing stuff and errors I do, and my channel exploded... So much for wanting to be an expert 😜
What a pleasure it was to watch this video! All the effort you go to in filming and editing is worth it. A++ :) and wow what a brilliant finish to that table, just gorgeous
Glad you enjoyed it!
That’s amazing! 😮 Would have never imagined you could create something so stunning out of the ugly scraps from pallets!
Thanks 👍
I have watched only 2 of your videos as I found your channel yesterday, but man this is good stuff. This is so pure and honest, somehow you make fancy crafts without doing much fancy work. As an amateur/beginner woodworker this channel is great to learn from and I love your vibe. Greetings from Finland!
Randomly stumbled across this video and I'm so glad I did. Incredible result from what initially looked like a hobby diy'er giving it as go!
Hi Niel, that's exactly what I am, a hobby DIY'er! Thanks for watching.
Fantastic work! Always hurts to go backwards in a project but I'm glad you did, the 2nd finish looks great.
Thanks a bunch! I'm also really happy about this video, it looks like youtube had some people who previously had searched for something with pallet blocks without any good results, so it decided to serve this video to them in their feed.
Turned out great! I like that you didnt give up and your talent shows. Wow!
Glad you liked it!
Hey there Jesper!! Don't know much about woodworking... even less on English language 😁😁, but I enjoy so much seeing you work man, great job
Thanks for the kind words! I'm always happy to share my woodworking with anyone who is interested. And don't worry about your English language skills - woodworking is a universal language, and we can all communicate through the language of sawdust and power tools. Keep on enjoying the videos and maybe one day you'll be building your own projects too!
This is so awesome man. I take woodworking as a bit of a hobby and not a job so I'm no way as good as you, but man this is such an inspiration. The way you show that even though you're awesome at what you do, you still learn to make do with the mistakes that were made and STILL end up with an amazing result. Will for sure be watching this video when I decide to make a coffee table of my own. Keep it up man, subbed instantly.
Awesome, thank you!
This is the first time I've subscribed to a channel. This is the second or third video of yours that I watched. The first one was the pallet block river table. As I recall there were a couple videos grouped with that one.
Everything of yours I watched was inspiring and entertaining. I hope folks take your lead and start picking up discarded objects and making stuff out of it. It is that easy. Then after a while, The stuff you make Performs its intended function and is pleasing to the eye as well.
Your editing is slick and keeps simple animals like me glued to the screen. Go Jesper Go!
So honored to be your first subscription! Your kind words mean a lot. Got any discarded treasures you're turning into something special?
I've always wanted to do that same project but never take the time. I might have to now. That looks absolutely amazing.
You should!
I might not have the pallet blocks but i have a three car garage full of sawmill scraps
Mate.....what a mission, but man!!!....spectacular result 👍👍 Well done Jesper....Brilliant👍😁🇦🇺
Yeah good thing my wife's not watching my UA-cam videos, she would discover I made this for her AND sold it 😬
@@JesperMakes 😂😂
BRAVO!! Beautiful table. I may build one like that for my kitchen table. AWESOME project! Very creative as I would have never thought about doing that with pallet blocks! Checking out another of your videos next.
Thanks Jeff - which video did you pick?
@@JesperMakes Sho Sugi Ban table finish.. I ended up watching a couple last night and a couple more this morning. I see used pallets as an under-utilized resource for woodworkers..
Never would have thought I'd use a block like that what a beautiful piece good job absolutely amazing the way the grains go against one another color contrast between species absolutely beautiful 💯👍
Thank you so much 😀
Just got into woodworking recently - the table is very sick, but I love the production of the video just as much. Great Cuts storytelling, grading and music.. Subscribed and wish you every success with the channel
That was very kind of you Samuel, and I wish you the best of luck with whatever you're working on. Cheers from Denmark
Dude, you are a legend!
Seeing that kids smile while sitting on the bench with his pops was priceless 👌 $350 well spent
Agreed, that was well spent!
Jesper what a killer video, well done! I sat with a smile on my face the whole way through! A1 work on the editing, pacing, storytelling, and of course, the woodworking! Well done!
Hi Mario, thanks so much for watching. Those words coming from you means a lot. When looking a the raw footage it was quote boring with all that gluing and sanding, so I tried to jazz it up a little.
Well done Jesper, that came out great ! Yea you are right, it does look much better after the re sand and finish. Another epic video too, I always enjoy them. Thank You for the awesome shout out as well mate, Much Appreciated, Cheers !
Hi David, thank you for your support, I was happy to be able to make a short plug for your awesome channel mate. I hope to do more in the future. I'll do some more epoxy resin projects and I'll talk about the master of resin in those...
I kind of agree with "Coffee solves everything", but you know what?, Coffee + Your worklog videos, makes a perfect morning... Love it man!, thanks for sharing your art.
Great to hear! Cheers from Denmark
Great build, great production value, and that music was awesome! I really dig your videos… you make woodworking groovy! 🤩🕺🏼
Hey, Tim! Glad you dig the vibe. 🕺 What's your go-to music when working on projects?
So my wife thought the first few seconds should be compulsory viewing for all makers.... then on second viewing, I came to realise you said you made this FOR your wife.... then sold it to the Bar instead 🤣 Brave man. Thanks for the shoutout, and what a great learning project. Yep, cheap wood will soak up resin like a sponge. I don't think many people have ever taken fire to a resin project either 😂 But the bar got a bargain... would have been a grand in resin in there alone.
Thanks James, I'm currently building another coffee table, and you can be sure I don't take any selling decisions without my wife's approval 😁. It looks like people enjoy this video, UA-cam keeps recommending it to new people, so the time spent on editing could be worth while. Thanks to both of you 💖 for supporting me, it means a lot.
I suspect the wife thought, "He can make me another, possibly better, one. " It's like having the cake and eating it too.
For someone with very little wood working skill, you make beautiful things. I love this channel, and watching your process of building.
Thanks 🙏
Mate, properly cool project and video to match. Great work! would love to sit back with a pint and enjoy the workmanship! Cheers
Thanks Sam, let's do that, would be awesome. Thanks for watching it mate, are you up to something?
Great job, that looks amazing mate, I love it.
I'm glad you got a good price for all that hard work.
Well done Jesper 👍🏻
Thanks 👍Adam
Preciosa obra de arte....haaarta paciencia y amor por lo que haces. Felucitaciones, desde Chile
Hello in Chile, thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers from Denmark 🇩🇰🇩🇰
This was fantastic! New sub unlocked! 😎🙂 Noob wood working enthusiast converted trophy achieved! 👌🏽😁
Awesome, thank you!
Just a suggestion your music is a good bit louder than your voice.
Thanks, it's corrected in the videos after this one.
One other life for some wood that otherwise will end in a dump. Resin no more than needed.
Simply beautiful!
Thanks mate
You didn't ask enough for that table.
ahaha - thanks buddy!
Sarcastic or not
1600 for this?? where is the market for this? nobody would pay more than $200 for this in the UK... Crazy prices...
Some people really like the unique stuff, try looking at Etsy and see what people buy. If you are targeting the IKEA segment of buyers, yes, you'll get 50 bucks
Demek ki sizin orada insanlar değerli parçaların, el emeği ürünlerin anlamını pek bilmiyor. Normal, tipik İngiliz şımarıklığı 😂
😂😂😂
Poker games...
You’ve earnt a subscription from me mate. I first came to your page after a recommendation from Mark Dainer. Came back again yesterday and watched your euro pallet busting tips. Worked a treat saved me hours of work.
I love this video. You are a world class craftsman. Look, the idea of craft is not = to science or flawless design. It is a person who does cool stuff. You are there. Never appologize. Thank You.
Hi Rodger, thank you so much for the nice comment, I find this very funny and fulfilling to do, and I just hope to inspire others to not being afraid to start building something. Cheers mate
Spectacular! Love the table! Like the way you filmed the video. And dig the song towards the end! I look forward to watching more of your stuff!! Nice work
Thanks so much!
I appreciate your craftsmanship and making someone’s garbage into something worthy of a king
Thanks man ☺️
This is the second vid of yours that I have watched today, I was subbed before the ask, I truly enjoy what your doing. Not only that but I am learning, thank you for producing such great content.
That's awesome to hear you're enjoying the content and picking up some new skills along the way! Thanks for being a subscriber and sticking around. More cool stuff coming your way, so stay tuned! Cheers! 🛠️🎥
ME FASCINÓ EL RESULTADO... Y ME ENTRETUVE MUCHÍSIMO EN VER TODO EL PROCESO... GRACIAS... DESDE TIJUANA, BAJA CALIFORNIA, MÉXICO...
Thanks 🙏
great video, i’ve got a bunch of these same kinda wood block, just waiting for you to share your method. thanks for sharing. it is also refreshing to hear your danish accent, half my family is danish.
Ahahaha the good old Danglish language 😂. where are you located mate?
@@JesperMakes north Carolina, USA. Mom grew up in herning.
Wow this turned out a treat
Love it and am sure your Mrs does too
Excellent work
Thanks 🙏
This is really great work. Including your mistakes is really useful for someone trying to learn about woodwork. Also, don’t worry about asking for subscriptions. People with far lower quality content do it, and yours is awesome.
Thank you for the kind words! I'm always happy to share my mistakes and learning experiences with others, because let's face it, we all make mistakes when we're starting out (and sometimes even when we're more experienced). And you're right, there's no shame in asking for subscriptions - we all need a little support and encouragement to keep creating and sharing our work. Thanks for the support, and happy woodworking!
Great project and excellent video. I love how you just start it and see where it goes and adjust your process to what is needed. That's a lot like how I do my projects. Also, I like your choice of whiskey!
Thanks 👍
Very nice video!.....You really show how most anyone could build these with a little time and patience.
Thank you very much!
New subscriber and binge watcher here, love your content Jesper! Also really respect the way you responded to one of the very negative fellows on here, class act you are! Cheers from Northern California!
Thanks mate, I really appreciate your comments. I really like indepth comments, both positive and negative. There's often a lot of honesty and truth hidden in the very negative comments and I learn a lot from them.
Absolutely beautiful!!! Greetings from Montreal! I enjoy the refreshing ideas you use doing your projects!
Nick Berdebes
Hello Montreal, thanks for getting in touch.. let me know if you have any ideas for me to build in an upcoming video 🙏🙏
One of Dainer's video popped up randomly in my feed and he mentioned your channel. Came here and that pallet block coffee table made me an instant subscriber! Beautiful work!
Great video great instructions. The thing I like the most is that you don't "go with the curve" you make your own wave with your own ideas and work. Subscribed
Thanks 🙏🙏
First-class table, mate... loved it...!!! Having worked with epoxy quite a bit myself, I feel your pain as far as the leaking, sealing, sanding... more leaking... more sanding... blah blah blah blah... but the effort shines through in the finished product...! Well done...! :)
Thanks 👍 Scott!
Have just dicovered you today and i think the table you have created is nothing short than outstanding
Thank you ANTHONY, it makes my day to hear that. Thank you for following along. Cheers from Denmark
Exlenet job and excelent music taste too! Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
My dog chewed my coffee table make me one too lol.
I just got a bunch of free pallets I wasnt sure how to take them apart until I saw your video on how to. Thanks for sharing your pallet knollege
Thanks, good to know it's useful. I'm about to do another video on dismantling pallets with a pneumatic denailer, you have one?
@@JesperMakes Not yet I am building a pallet dismantler with a little Native knollege from my ansestors.
I was going to build a big wedge and push the pallets down with a ratchet strap. That didnt work so good lots of boards broke and cracked.
My next attempt at this will be a big lever I built for about 1 cdn dollar in screws. I will post my video soon all tag you in it when it is ready.
I've seen many things made from pallets... But that table is a thing of beauty... You got my subscription...👍
Thanks Christopher, much appreciated!
Absolutely tremendous work! Such a novel idea and a stunning result! Intrigued to try something similar but the sheer cost of the epoxy is a little intimidating... Could obviously square up the blocks and fill the nail holes first to reduce gaps but I think the black voids are part of the charm.
Also, video is beautifully produced and has a real sense of narrative. Well done.
Thank you for your kind words and insightful feedback! I'm flattered that you find my work absolutely tremendous. I agree that the black voids are charming and the epoxy cost is worth it for stunning results. I'm glad you enjoyed the video's production and narrative. Thank you for your support and thoughtful comments. Keep on woodworking!
Nice to look at. Real fun watching you working, man! Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hello Jesper, just discovered your Chanel and it’s great, good music, really funny and very real world woodworking, thanks Mel
Awesome, thank you!
I love DIY, so far I broke a ton of stuff but I really enjoy watching people who can make stuff. This is a brilliant project, so I'm going to attempt to make something myself
Legend! Thank you James, appreciate it! Happy building!
Jesper love the coffee table. Keep up the good work.
Thanks I will. Cheers mate
Just came for dainer made. Was directed to you. Subscribed to both channels. I am a hobbyist. I want to pick up woodworking again. Nice channel. I love unique stuff
Thanks, also a fan of Dainer here 🥰🥰
Hats off! as if the tutorial wasn't the enough, the video production and, specially, the soundtrack is awesome! well done.
Thanks, it means a lot to hear this. Cheers mate.
$1599 - you earned every cent … great job, well done on the table and video. Thanks.
Thanks, Mark! It's great to hear that you think the hard work paid off. Here's to more exciting projects and videos!
I subscribed because you ask so politely at the end... and because the project was amazing.
Love to hear that, thanks 🙏
Stunning!! Love the music in this vid, too!
Thank you! Cheers!
This is the 1st time I've watched a video of yours (after watching my 1st Dainer Made vid) & I love the block table. Nice craftmanship on the table! It tell ppl a story just by looking at it. Now I'm off to watch the pallet bedroom vid.
Awesome! Thank you for following us both. I think you'll find we are very different but supplement each others content nicely.
Beautiful,...Thank you Sir !!! ...............Inspiring !!!
Thanks 🙏🙏🙏
