Hey , You learn something everyday. I learned from how you do it by clamping them together. I was doing them one at a time . In which the wood would be close , but not perfect using your method. I have recently bought a slot cutting bit for my router and have been using the 1/4 inch slot to make them tounge and grove . Which is simple to do once the set up is done. For anyone out there who might use my trick. WHEN SETTING UP . PLEASE USE SCRAPS .
I have no jointer and no planer (thicknesser) but I did see Matt over @731woodworks use the level method. I tried it and it works BUT when I get a planer I may prefer it better. I'll report back when I do :D
If you clamp with handles on opposite sides, the wood can go through the thicknesser/planer on an angle, and use the (almost) the full width of the blades, instead of simply one side (even the wear on the machine and blades). Using long screws, you could stack more boards, to match the full width of the thicknesser/planer (or tack with hot-melt?).
Gonna try this with cedar fence pickets that I use for making planter boxes. I currently use a table saw and long box level one pocket at a time. I’m sure I may get a little snipe due to the picket length but worth a try 👍
That is actually a great method. If you can make the bottom of the boards straight with the table surface, you should have a chance of making the top straight.
Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad to hear that you enjoy my work. I love woodworking and am passionate about sharing my knowledge and skills with others. I appreciate your support, and I will continue to create and share more content in the future. Thanks again for watching and for the compliment!
Hello my new friend. I took a look at his channel, he has nice videos. I saw that we had something in common. And I'm now your 222 friends. :-) Straighten vertically. You've laminated the pallet boards nicely. This is a very good idea. I should try this too. Congratulations. Thank you for sharing. See you all the time. Big greetings. I wish you a healthy and happy new week. Yours truly.
I love your channel Jesper. I am a hopeless DIY'er, but I love trying. For my next attempt, I want to make a top from pallet wood for my new standing desk, any tips or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks Dom
Normally yes, but because I clamp 5 boards together on a flat surface, they'll form a flat surface together and the top will be flat. Then we have that as a reference when we turn it over and flatten the bottom.
Hi Jesper! I've been following your channel for a while and I gotta say that I find it particularly interesting, I think you do a great job with pallets, not only because you recycle and reuse wood, also because you get really impressive projects! I would like to ask you about the tool you use for desktop planer because I really need one like that to be able to use the wooden planks. What is the name of the tool that you use?
I have the cheapest planer possible, mine is from Biltema but the same model is sold under different brands like Sheppach. It's an OK planer for pallet wood, not strong enough for hardwoods IMHO.
Hello my fellow dane. I love you work. You are very talented. Iam a guy 16 Year Old. Who only works with hand tools But i use a drill. Would it be possible to use a plainer with this merhod ?
Hej, så svarer jeg lige på dansk. Wow, 16 år og arbejder med træ kun med håndværktøj. Det er godt nok flot. Hemmligheden med træ er, at du kan bruge det meste, men det hele afhænger af finish. Det værste palletræ kan blive vildt flot med slibning og noget olie eller lak.
That's good. I didn't have a tablesaw at this point so it wasn't an option. Also with the plainer I make 5 boards at the same time, so it speeds it up. But a tablesaw jig is a great option!
Hi, I'm using a desktop planer from Biltema, it's also made by Sheppach. It's the cheapest and simplest planer you can get, and it works OK. Do you have stuff to plane?
Hej Jesper, So Ive been wanting to upgrade my tools and this way upgrade the works i can make with pallets. So i wanted to ask you which tools do you think are essential, especially also for joining the boards afterwards? besides the table table planer,
Woodworkers have used handplanes to plane their wood since the beginning of woodworking mate, it can be done but it's probably not easy... Best of luck with your projects...
You never fail us with content commentary cinematography and commitment. Jesper thank you for what you do.
Thanks 🙏🙏🙏
Your channel has been nothing but an inspiration to me, Jesper. This woodworker on a very tight budget thanks you for this awesome tip!
WOW so simple but so effective
Still use it to this day 🙃

That was simple and effective...pallet wood and a planer are definitely good companions!
Yes if you want to use pallet wood, you definately needs a lunchbox planer. Thanks Juliet.
I might be late to the video, but I use a 4 foot metal level and run that parallel to my rip fence on a table saw.
Sounds great

Brilliant, thanks!
OMGOSH!!! Lol this is CRAZY easy! What a great idea!
It is, actually. Thanks 👍
I liked your technique of planing 4 strips together. Congratulations!
Thanks!
Hola! 🖐Thanks for this tip and video. I will "file" this method and give it a try when I get a planer. Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👊
Have fun!
Gonna try this with cedar fence pickets that I use for making planter boxes. I currently use a table saw and long box level one pocket at a time. I’m sure I may get a little snipe due to the picket length but worth a try 👍
Good luck!
Such a good idea! Definitely going to be using this in the future.
Fantastic! I do it all the time and haven't seen anybody else do it, so either it's a bad idea or....
@@JesperMakes I think you’re ahead of the pack my friend with some out of the box thinking. Great stuff!
Well that’s a technic I never thought of mate, will definitely have to try that one. Cheers 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Let me know how it goes ☺️
Mate worked a treat. Sketchy but a treat!! 😂😂😂. Tagged you on IG
@@Nedswoodworks Hi david, I saw that I'm so happy you tried it, I have never seen anyone else do it.
@@JesperMakes mate it worked a treat. I have a straightener jig but this was way easier than doing them one at a time. Thanks pal. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
Brilliant idea! 👍🏻
Thanks 🙏👍👍
That'll work! Nice and easy.
I would not do it with longer boards, but I do get some OK results with this method for pallet boards.
good job
That is actually a great method. If you can make the bottom of the boards straight with the table surface, you should have a chance of making the top straight.
Agreed!
Legend , thanks for the tip.
You're welcome 😁.
Love your work mate. Keep em coming :)

Hi Jasper, tank you for this.
New sub 👍🏻.
Look forward to watching all your other videos.
Awesome, thank you!
Thank you for this tip - very helpful!!

@@JesperMakes see you
I'm gonna try your method out, seems to me it just might work. ;)
It works 🤠
Good trick
Thanks for sharing
Welcome!
Good idea!
Thanks it's pretty effective
Hola, Jesper es una lástima que no pueda poner los subtitulos en español. Me gustan tus videos gracias por compartir tus trabajos.
Hola Dario, comencé a subtitular mis videos en español, los nuevos tienen subtítulos en español traducidos por humanos, pero este no.
I love your channel Jesper. I am a hopeless DIY'er, but I love trying. For my next attempt, I want to make a top from pallet wood for my new standing desk, any tips or advice would be much appreciated.

Hi Dom, we're in the same boat here, I also love trying 😂😂😬
Wouldn’t the top of the boards follow the warps of the bottom boards while planing?
Normally yes, but because I clamp 5 boards together on a flat surface, they'll form a flat surface together and the top will be flat. Then we have that as a reference when we turn it over and flatten the bottom.
One day definitely i'll meet you💗💗💗
That would be great!
@@JesperMakes i should thank you🤗

I would like to ask you about the tool you use for desktop planer because I really need one like that to be able to use the wooden planks. What is the name of the tool that you use?
Google "planer thicknesser"
That paticular one is from Biltema, but all brands have a cheap desktop planer in their portfolio. Right now I'm testing one from Vevor.
thanks for the idea! what planer do you use and how satisfied/unsatisfied are you with it?
I have the cheapest planer possible, mine is from Biltema but the same model is sold under different brands like Sheppach. It's an OK planer for pallet wood, not strong enough for hardwoods IMHO.
Could we manually sand it that way too?
IDK 😐
Hi Jasper what brand is the planer please ?
Great tip, but I don't have a desktop planer. I do have an electric, hand-held planer. I guess I need to make a jig? What do you think? Thanks!
With some skill you can join wood with an electric planer or a jointing plane. Or use a table saw.
is it possible to use block plane instead?
Use a jointerplane if you have one.
Hello my fellow dane. I love you work. You are very talented. Iam a guy 16 Year Old. Who only works with hand tools But i use a drill. Would it be possible to use a plainer with this merhod ?
Iam gonna make a bar shelf. With a Wine rack in it and a shelf for Holding the Wine glasses. Can i use one time use pallets or is those totally crap ?

@@JesperMakes ja Ligepræcis tusind tak for de fine ord 😉
nice tutorial bro.but i dont have that kind of planer.
They are really cheap, I bought mine second hand and I use it all the time.
@@JesperMakes Which model is it?
Not disagreeing with your method, but the table saw jig I use is so much faster for me
That's good. I didn't have a tablesaw at this point so it wasn't an option. Also with the plainer I make 5 boards at the same time, so it speeds it up. But a tablesaw jig is a great option!
Can this be done with a hand planer? I can't afford and don't have storage for a planer like that just yet
Perhaps it could. Maybe try it out?
Enjoy the video what planner are you using
Hi, I'm using a desktop planer from Biltema, it's also made by Sheppach. It's the cheapest and simplest planer you can get, and it works OK. Do you have stuff to plane?
@@JesperMakes mostly pallet wood
👍🏻👊🏻🇺🇸
Thanks
Hej Jesper, So Ive been wanting to upgrade my tools and this way upgrade the works i can make with pallets. So i wanted to ask you which tools do you think are essential, especially also for joining the boards afterwards? besides the table table planer,
Hey Fredy, you'll need some clamps for the glueups, and I like to use a biscuit joiner for alignment. I'm hoping to get a big jointer in the future.
Would a hand hold planer also work with this?
Woodworkers have used handplanes to plane their wood since the beginning of woodworking mate, it can be done but it's probably not easy... Best of luck with your projects...
@@JesperMakes thank you! It’s an electric one. Driving me crazy that I have minimal tools and can’t get a piece of wood straight and flat
How to do a thing without a big fancy tool. Proceeds to use a big fancy tool that does almost the same thing.
Don’t have a jointer? Use a planar! Lol
lol
