I dont understand why no one knows how much profit is in this?

Thanks for much for checking out this video! We've got a ton of other projects we know you will love. We'd love if you would consider subscribing to help this tiny channel grow! Thanks! www.youtube.com/channel/UC4Xarmlw0RJ573ZgJO2b5GA?s…

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.

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.

I don't understand why the video doesn't answer the question in the title. I was hoping he would give us an idea of his costs and how much he was able to sell it for. Not sure I would use such nice plywood if it's just getting covered up... but this video is pre-pandemic when plywood was a bit cheaper.

I liked how he explained how much profit was in this.

I worked for years in a general fabrication shop located in a light industrial area. There were always tons of pallets laying around, and we used them for all sorts of projects. Not just pallets either. There were old beat-up piano carcasses, metal, cast-off lumber...It was great, a maker's dream.

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.

When you consider how much labor is involved there isn't that much profit

Nice project. I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees value in pallets, especially the hardwood ones. Great to see a lady doing woodworking too. Bless you two!

Whenever I've tried to harvest wood from a pallet I always found that the wood smelled so badly of some sort of oily pesticide that I couldn't stand to have the wood around and ended up tossing it out again.

“MESURE TWICE, CUT ONCE!!” Or just cut everything 4 or 5 times. 😂😂😂😂❤

I'm sure you have a plainer now but I use a hand plainer to level out uneven wood instead of using a leveling bit. It's super fast and you can hook a shop vac to it then sand it down nice. Table turned out nice. Well done.

Great video: Safety tip, when using the micro-jig drop the shoe on the away side from the fence, this will keep the micro-jig push-block from tipping. Also when using the quick grip bar clamps try to keep the bars pointing down toward the floor. Bars up on the clamp create an impalement hazard should you trip and fall on one. Keep up the good work!

6:00. When applying paste wax, use a heat gun to soften the wax. It will spread more evenly on the surface and could save you a splinter incident.

Make sure you're using pallets that haven't been treated with harmful chemicals if you're going to be using this wood near food (like a coffee table), also even if the pallet wasn't treated there's still the possibility that it has been contaminated by any number of chemicals and substances during its use

Bro, u never mentioned the profit

So what was the profit? Did I miss where you discuss the profit mentioned in the title?

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.

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.

Maybe I missed it but how much profit is in this project?
