Breaking up pallets Videos

+flooently using 2 helps equal force and keeps the wood from cracking, remember to let the pallets get wet from rain or your water hose the night before

+todd little Thanks for watching Todd. -Moe

I cut down about 60 pallets so far, What a JOB! I got blisters and splinters in both hands! LOL I've been asking for volunteers as this shed or sheds are being used for my church mission enabling me to store donated food, clothes, appliances, furniture etc that I give to those in need, but not one volunteer has shown up. I give away food almost daily in my huge yard, but weather is really a problem especially rain and I have to keep racoons and squirrels at bay. I also need shed to use as a work shop to build babbington burners so I can heat families homes in winter when they can't afford fuel oil or other heating bills, and to store my landscaping equipment that brings me extra income.

Around 10 hours of pallet disassembly and 90 hours of building. If I did the exact same shed I could cut it down to around 40-50hours. If I just used a nail gun to hold everything and omitted joinery I could cut it down even further to around 20hours.

That makes sense Thank you! I'm not at that point yet, I just started gathering the pallets last week some are good and some are bad either really dirty or broken that'll be used fr fire wood in my mass rocket stove, I started taking the pallets apart yesterday. I'm using the sawzall. How long did it take you once you started building it to completion?

+Pastor William Barhorst Yeah, once it dries and even before it is less flammable than any commercially bought oil based stain because there are no thinners like the highly flammable acetone.

You're deserving of it and you're welcome! Your videos are supreme! You taught me a lot, I'm going to be building my shed like yours but a lot larger! Great garage door too and using 55 gallon barrels for a roof AWESOME!, and oil and fuel to stain it with! What about catching fire? I guess as it dries the fumes dissipate.

+Pastor William Barhorst Thanks.

+Richard Banner Thanks, I'm glad you like it. I've been sharpening them for years with great results.

+bob brawley Thanks Bob

no, just people looking for good ideas that might follow the practice of someone who now apparently feels no need to show how to do it safely.  Just because you were able to get away with doing a couple things so stupidly does not mean that an inexperience person won't try it an hurt themselves. If you want to show how to do something....do it right.

+Rory McGee OSHA watching Youtube now?

+Rely Flores That's not a pallet, thats a mock up made with wood and screws, pallets are nailed, keep watching for a real pallet at 6:38

thanks 

I tried since you asked and yes it will work it just takes a little like longer than when using a bandsaw.

+xjjeepman1  think you for helping support the show, it an old craftsman saw and it does a good job for what it is.

+Anne Engard im thinkin to save from splitting use circular saw to cut the ends off both ends of board just inside the edge of the 2x4 below theyre nailed to because thats where most the cracks happen.then have to pry only the center boards up

Working with pallets is not 100% recycled. These thing are put together to last so you have to account for a certain amount of split/cracked wood

The free section on Craigslist is a good place.
