FREE PLANS to create this hairpin leg coffee table complete with metal hairpin legs! We will show you the step-by-step tutorial so you can make your very own table like this! If you have some basic woodworking tools, that's all you will need to build it!
About 6 months ago, we made our very first pallet table but we weren’t making videos at that time. For Christmas, my sister asked us to build her one of these tables so we thought it would be a perfect opportunity to get it filmed!
Now, a bit of warning, flattening a table like this takes A LOT of work (check it out in the video above) but it certainly makes a huge difference!
WHERE DO I FIND FREE PALLETS?
Many people ask where or how we find free pallets. We went to many large stores around us and simply asked. We found that many smaller businesses actually encourage that you take them because they have to pay extra to dispose of them. Obviously, get permission before you start swiping them. Some larger big box stores have recycling programs, so stealing them from your local home center is criminal theft so be careful out there!

A little guidance about pallet wood. As a general rule, pallet wood is not kiln dried. Cabinet makers and furniture makers normally use kiln dried wood or wood that has dried to a level of 9% or less depending on the relative humidity. If you make a piece of furniture out of pallet wood, the wood will shrink over time. You can seal the wood very well and it will still shrink. Wood that has a high moisture level will shrink; the width of the board will decrease. This can cause the slits in the furniture to appear or the wood may crack. Twisting and bowing are also possible. Do what you want, I am giving you the advise. I would first check the pallet wood with a moisture meter and if the moisture level is low enough, use it.

I suggestion for something not a lot of people do, but will help out massively.. when you apply glue to a wood surface, add a pinch of salt to each end of the glued surface. It may sound a bit strange, but the granuals on the wood fibers will keep that board from slipping as much as it will push in to each surface slightly which will keep it stead enough to clamp.

@davec3689 Рік тому
Well done, Eric and Miranda. The boards surrounding the tabletop are called skirt boards. I have found on my projects that when laying out the skirt boards, before I cut any miters, I place the boards so any bow is pulling away from the table. You can see the bow I am talking about at 12:34. Then I miter one end and clamp the board to the tabletop, which pulls the bow tight to the tabletop and helps me get a better scribe for the miter at the other end of the board. Also, I occasionally check to make sure my table saw tape measure is giving me an accurate reading so I only have to make ONE final cut to length. Making that one cut on the table saw makes me more efficient and I have lessened the chance of making one too many cuts that may go awry and mess up my project. God bless you and your business.

Nice video. Good to see couple doing woodworking together. You might want to add a safety note on future videos. Pallets come in 2 types- the ones marked HT are heat treated and safe to use. The ones marked MB are methyl bromide and should be avoided. These are sprayed with nasty insecticide to eliminate bugs from raw wood. The chemical permeates the wood and stays there. In the USA all manufactured pallets must be labeled by law. Foreign pallets are not under this rule.

Here in Australia back in the 90’s onwards I used to do trucking so almost everything is pallet on pallet off trucks and had my fair share of the Chep - Loscam yards , chep used to get their pallets back once dehired and repaired some and put a white line through others all heavily invested in by chep. Those two brands were the only two that were hired and dehired so had charges associated with them but all other pallets were very accessible to pretty much anyone as most businesses don’t require them once used. Another area was pallet end of life where I would go sometimes and this was where they were shredded and the wood was then used for other purposes. The hardwood pallets are Nice they can look pretty shity but if you clean them up like your doing there is some very nice timber to be had and someone like you two would be in paradise, I reckon you could make any size panel you wanted with your ideas. 👍

Next time, cut the plywood back oversized but square. Then rough-cut the pattern boards somewhere between the edge of the plywood and where you want the finished edge. You can do this after attaching to the plywood, just set the depth of the circular saw so that it won't cut all the way through the plywood. Then you can still use the plywood edges to cut the whole thing on the table saw to the finished size.

Here is an idea... Cut the plywood to the final desired size before attaching the decorative pieces on top.

My only concern with this technique would be the potential for tear-out since you'd be running the trim router bit across the end grain of the strips of pallet wood. I've never used a trim router across end grain like this so I'm not sure this would be a problem, but I'd glue up a small test piece to try it on first.

I would just caution you to consider this when you are trying to sell a piece of your work to someone. You should really be ethical about it. It may look similar to something you saw online but it will not be the same. SO you should price accordingly. There is so much that goes into even mid range furniture If you really want to make an honest living at this, use this experience you have gained and put it into some high quality wood working.

Problem that one may often run into w/those, is that u can't always fit between boards, obviously depending on how many boards, and how big the gaps in between. Also, it's not the easiest to start that process at the ends, if that gap is minimal between the first and second board. Once u get that first one off, though, it's usually pretty smooth sailing, that is, until u have to flip it over to do it all over again. This way does provide the most wood, being the longest uncut slats, and will usually kill two birds with one stone (or maybe 1.5 birds), getting those nails pulled out of the stretchers, not having them sheared off and staying lodged in, like when using a sawzall to get underneath to cut each nail off. That's the only other way to maximize the board lengths, and if it doesnt matter if those nails stay sheared off in the stretchers, the sawzall way is by far the fastest way to dismantle a pallet, wwith the maximum sized slats. All that's left to do with these methods, is to turn slats upside-down to punch the nails out, unless u like that extra rustic look, but keeps those nail holes filled.

But, what if the boards are warped or bowed? I thickness plane mine, and that doesn't "prevent" the need to flatten, just reduces. Gluing the pieces down flat to a flat substrate seems to work here, so surfacing the top afterwards is reasonable.
@lightspeedguru Рік тому
@@edwarddrost5299 good point. I suppose it isn’t a perfect solution but I’d rather use the table saw to get it close enough to sand out the high spots than make a flattening jig.
@MrThenry1988 Рік тому
Most are gonna be bent. You can take the bend out when attaching. You'll have a hard time getting enough wood doing it like your thinking. I've been there for sure. I do run them in the planer. The bow doesn't go away and I don't mind. It does get the way closer than this vat gets. 36 grit on a hand belt sander and you are close.
@deanadam1955 Рік тому
I've got an edge grain up table I've been making out of pallets which made me wonder the same thing. I guess I took care of my sideways bow by clamping/gluing sideways and then recreating a straight edge. I like the idea of the router surfacer, but it seems like a lot of work that I havent needed yet. But then atm I'm still enjoying the table saw jointing process, clearly a newbie :)

Pallet wood = free pin legs = $50 on Amazon Time spent building the table top = about a day Listed for $200 on market place, offered $30 at most Conclusion: not worth the time ans effort if you are planning on making this a business.
@dennistucker1153 Рік тому
The table looks real nice. If you factor in the costs of the time spent building this, the tooling needed, the space used, the electricity, the glue, nails, screws, etc., how much would the table cost just to break even?
@tracyrader772 9 місяців тому
A very good point. From a material cost perspective, this is probably a very high margin. But Cost Of Goods Sold (COGS) is total cost. That includes fixed and variable costs, which include, shop supplies, utilities, rent, tool wear/tear/repair costs, and the most expensive of them all: labor. If your time is worth nothing than yes, you may still have a low COGS and thusly a high profit, but my time needs to be worth it to make the pieces I make. When you describe the process as tedious, I hear "lots of labor hours". You have to farm the wood from the pallets, then make the wood workable pieces all before you can begin to build your project. That is additional time that I find is more "expensive" than buying already partially processed woods. With that being said I have made several pieces from reclaimed wood and the weathered wood make the items character quite BEAUTIFUL. But I also find I spend more hours to make them than from store bought woods which negates any material cost savings.

Beautiful result but tooling equipment cost to make this is really over the top by thousands - negates any profit by using rubbish wood. If I were to spend the money time and effort - would at least start with decent wood stock. Probably could make exactly the same thing with far less power tools. Exploring the potential use of various power tools is certainly useful.
@chrismcaulay7805 8 місяців тому
@@godfreyberry1599 You cant include the ENTIRE cost of your tools to make a simple project. No one would ever make anything if that was the case. You should only account for the percent of the life of the tool, or maybe the portion of the tools use planned for the first year... The exception is if the tool is ONLY planned for that project then you can account for the whole tool. For instance if I want a new Miter saw, but I am only using it to build some butcher for the first project, there is almost no way that it will pay for a saw... however I know with a miter saw I am gonna use it for 50 more projects this year, so if I say 1/50th of the cost of the miter saw is for the butcher block that might be something like $6-10...

Respirator not just for protecting the lungs from wood dust but also from all the dirt and debris, sometimes chemically toxic, that is released during cutting/sanding - since we often acquire pallets that have been sitting outdoors and/or have been in contact with unknown substances. BTW, do you employ any other cleansing process on your pallets prior to machining ? And, thank you for yet another practical and informative vid.
@im-un-fragile Рік тому
Nice looking table and some great tips. I always caution people using pallet wood... especially people using them for gardening food items. You have no idea what products those pallets were used to haul. As a former truck driver who carried many loads of HAZMAT, I can tell you some really nasty chemicals get transported on them. And sometimes they get leaked on and those contaminated pallets don't get tossed, they get reused over and over again. Never use pallet wood for anything that will be used for food storage and the like

@maker_jds7672 Рік тому
Old Geezer tip. Use your speed square to cut into a scrap of wood, wider than your saw base. Let your saw blade stop. Draw a precise line on both sides of the saw base plate. Remove the saw then measure the kerf to both lines and Sharpie this data onto the saw base on the appropriate sides. Also, leave room for more data if you often use different kerf blades.These are your tool's fence offsets. **To remove old marks use a dry erasable marker to dissolve the permanent ink marks and wipe away before it dries. This only works on Non-permeable surfaces.**
@kenberns5831 Рік тому
The herringbone design is always nice. The pin nailer is unnecessary, and just makes more work filling the holes; try to minimize its use.

If you score the plywood with a bristle or a wire wheel before using carp glue, you will have a far better adhesion because of the surface area created by this technique. It's a superior hold. also cleaning with alcohol to remove oils helps significantly to increase yield strength from the bond.

Check if the pallet wood has been chemically treated before using it indoors. Most ideal scenario is if it was kiln dried/seasoned. Usually chemically treated wood will have markings.
@josephcernansky1794 Рік тому
a dust collector attachment for the router......BUY one....and/or use a hand power-planer to get rough thickness.....then belt sander to level rough areas.....finer paper and slower speed until near perfect....you can also side clamp the boards on a workbench and power plane prior to assembly.......that will get you close enough that a belt sander can do the rest. A large home-made sanding block that fits a full sheet of sandpaper can then be used prior to finishing and also the in-between-coats of finish. I did stuff like this decades ago with slab scrap from the local sawmill. Uncut and dumped pickup loads for nothing....it was less work for the yard laborer and free for me! All sorts of hardwood in the mix. I knocked the bark off, resawed it into useable pieces, and no tree was harmed during the making of the projects. No tree was wasted either!! Whatever is left is kindling for the fire pit.

More info on pallet wood: to keep bugs from infesting items in shipment and warehouses, the wood is treated with an insecticide OR steamed. Wood that has been treated with insecticide should NEVER be used where children or expecting mothers would contact it, and ideally not in any indoor furniture, and never where food will contact it. You also run the risk that the wood may have chemical residues such as rodent poison used around the pallet wood from its lifetime use. Look for clean pallet wood that has been steamed. Not all palletwood is equally suitable for reuse.
