3 Quick & Easy & Effective Ways to breakdown a pallet to re-purpose the wood for projects.=
• 3 Quick & Easy & Effec...
I just wanted to say i appreciated the time and effort you put into the video. Thank you.
If you remove the nails with a punch and claw hammer (because of the method used to break down the pallets), you could plane the boards to remove the surface mold. Or, by using some blocks and a mini sledge hammer, remove the boards and then use a hammer or use an Air Locker pneumatic nail punch.
I'm somewhat concerned about kick back from the router table running the boards back and forth like that.
you win some you lose some, I guess if you're a palletman you ought to keep some extra sawblades laying around and perhaps also be a bit more on point with wearing safety equipment.
Got 3 words for ya..
“Awesome! Awesome!
and Awesome!”
Wow, so many haters. I appreciated the video and the tips. I like the rough look, other might not. It’s all about preferences.
I've read all the comments and there is not a single one that anyone could describe as hateful. Different opinions are NOT hate-speak, or whatever Snowflakes call it when someone disagrees with them.
@@christopherwheeler688 There are a few comments that were said in bad taste for sure. He just said haters. When people choose to only point out every single thing done wrong with a tone of superiority & chastise you for word pronunciation when your just sharing a method of reusing/recycling wood on a budget... I'd consider that a hater. Its just about being respectful, but it kind of looks like your the one whose getting worked up the most. 😂😅
The grooved boards you mentioned at the end are called "dunnage". They're used for applying tensioner straps to hold down items to pallets without damaging said item. Or they're used to raise stuff off the ground to keep off wet surfaces or to pick up/lower with forklift forks etc.
Thanks for the chamfer idea
And dude, CH-AM-FER
How did he make it this far through his life without that being corrected
Bless you!
@@LewisMelvin1 because until recently most people didn't nitpick people speech or make them feel bad. If someone knew what you were talking about that's all that mattered there was no point in wasting the time talking about it.

Sorry, couldn't hear what you said at 3:33 on the video. "And finally I'm using the Router with the xxxx bit.
Bet the neighbours love you
About how close were your fingers from the fast spinning sharp Chinese router bit?
Thank you for taking the time to share. Did you find a need to plane the boards? I have a bunch of pallets I have broken down to make cabinets.
I plane all of my pallet wood that I use for projects, I kind of wonder what project needs chambered ruff wood.
There are many videos for reclaiming pallet wood. There are also many methods for reclaiming the wood. There are many opinions about using reclaimed pallet wood. Scott did a fine job with providing his method for reclaiming and prepping the wood for his projects. Just because someone has a different or negative opinion, shouldn't necessarily mean a thumbs down or dislike vote or nasty comment. Please, just leave simple and civil comments. For instance, I would suggest using safety equipment, such as push sticks, ear protection, good quality mask and so on. Overall, a good method that works well for Scott and many others.
where is the best place to find wood pallets, for free?
Very helpful
The carvana 'new to you 'gift tag.
Pallet wood is cheap that’s why they use it for pallets. It pales to the products that get shipped on it. The people who make pallets buy the wood super cheap. And guess what you can too. But it is a source of quick wood..I won’t say free but quick wood for simple projects. And if you wanted to do something grand you will need to create a factory like condition to process it to make it break even.I’ve seen some awesome pallet projects. And the best use is projects that don’t need much machine work. So they can be repurposed. Great video. Thanks. 👍
I've been cutting up scrap wood for my wood stove for decades.
However, it would be good to replace a wood deck that has been in place for thirty years and is in marginal condition.
That will require 30 2x4 boards 93" long for decking.
One of my sources for scrap wood is an outfit that sells stone slabs. They take delivery on 8x16 foot slabs an inch thick, and that comes in pretty beefy wood shipping materials that include eight foot long 2x4s. So I considering using those for decking.
I took a couple apart today, and they have a LOT of nails, which I mostly removed except for a few that broke off. The boards themselves are of low quality, many with outside edges that have gaps, and they are rough cut, not planed, and I don't have a planer.
My big decision is whether I'll use those boards for this project, or buy new lumber. They are for my rental house, and a bit rougher than I would prefer. Structurally OK, but appearance somewhat sub par. I don't like all the nail holes near the ends, either. I could cut those out and use two pieces to make that 93" length and choose my boards for better appearance.
I've been watching videos about pallet busting, which gave me improved methods for taking these more complicated pieces apart. Even if I don't use these pieces for the decking, I've got usable pieces for projects.
Another project might use some of that 2x4 material. This is an interesting scaffolding project from "This Old House" ua-cam.com/video/NDBiLc38pmQ/v-deo.html
I've got the 2x6 material they use kicking around as well.
Anyway, I've enjoyed watching pallet busting videos! It's fun tearing things apart!
Thanks for sharing
Im tyring to break appart pallets and i might just lose it...
What brand did you use to clean the the mold off the wood?
😮
How did you go about remove flush nails on the 2x4's along the 2" side(narrow side)? I cant figure out a good way to about this. It is turning them into waste instead of use for me. Thanks
Have you tried filling the nail holes with epoxy? Adds character to the wood.
Did you ever find an answer for this? I have some really nice oak 2x4s that i would like to remove the nails.
Unfortunately, they are left there. If you try to remove them, there will be some damage. Fuck it. Give it a dark accent color and call it art!
“Hello Internet” lol
Hi Scott! So recently I’ve picked up about 8 pallets as I am making a bed. I’m doing four pallets and four on top. However I’m scared because I’ve scrounged all these up from Walmart’s, business warehouEs and such. I’ve picked out the best looking ones that seem to have no mold and they were stamped in 2021 saying heat treated. I will be bringing these in my home and sleeping on them. Any suggestions for cleaning them?
I have used a spray bottle and white distilled vinegar and it works well against mold.
Had it right the first time man: ammonia does make mold spores inert, liquid chlorine does not do anything for mold.
You missed one of important steps, dry woods, leave it at least 2 weeks before your project.
You route the edges... but you don't plane the boards??
Dunno if anyone cares but if you guys are bored like me atm then you can watch pretty much all the new series on instaflixxer. I've been streaming with my gf during the lockdown xD
@Luca Colson Yup, I have been watching on InstaFlixxer for months myself :)
He can't. They have nails in them from the technique used to break down the pallets...
it would have been helpful if you would have slowed down some of the video so a person could see what you were doing
You cut off the pallet wood with a sawzall, BUT! Still nails in the boards, that’s not cleaning up the wood properly. My table saw won’t like those nails.
unsolicited feedback; your audio is very frustrating, the opening was very very loud and then your voice volume fluctuates tremendously throughout the video and then it ends with more extremely loud music. Good content though.
Hi Todd, I agree with you. I have improved my sound a lot since posting this video. Thanks for the unsolicited feedback!
Trending on Google: How do you pronounce 'chamfer'...?
kamfer
I can't in good conscience watch someone do woodworking when they cant even properly pronounce "chamfer". It is not pronounced with a hard C. It is pronounced like "ch" in champ
Thought it was a shh sound.
Okay I wasn't going to say nothing but I'm glad you did cuz it was bothering me
@@bigpete4227 I'd still rather hear someone pronounce it that way that the other way
Literally the only person I have ever heard pronounce Chamfer as Kamfer.
It's from the French Chanfraindre. Chan so should be pronounced with the sh in Shawn (or Champs Élysées).
That being said, I'm not going to stop someone who is informing me about woodworking to pick them up on their pronunciation. Who cares, really? We know what they're saying.
Easy? Really? May be correct (remove mold), may be for advanced woodworkers, but not easy. I lve woodcrafts, but among these tools i have only hummer.
This time I will do it manually with the help of Woodprix designs.
