  • In this video I build a dining table from reclaimed pallet lumber. Butcher block style with many layers of glaze-coat epoxy finish. I spent hundreds of hours on the weekends, off and on between projects for over 3 years on this table! Unfortunately I had an Sd-card die and I lost all the repetitive footage of me destroying piles and piles of pallets, but you can watch my other videos if you really need to see the process. Sorry for the grainy footage in the beginning, its from an earlier camera I no longer use.
    This video contains the last footage of my grandfathers workshop. I had been spending every weekend i could with him, his health had been declining so it was very important to me to spend as much time with him as i could, and this project was started in the little bits of time i could squeeze in between ball games and PBR's. He was a great guy, a closest friend and a mentor with a thousand lessons and a million stories,. He will never be forgotten. Na Zdravi! to my friend Lew
    A big thanks to FUJII for allowing me to use his music for the background tracks.

    I was touched by your tribute to your grandfather. I grew up raised by a single mom. Fortunately I had a grandfather who was a master builder as well as uncles who were plumbers, electricians, mechanics and machinists. They were patient enough to impart a great deal of wisdom to me and I will be forever grateful. I am trying my best to teach the next generation as I am sure you will. Wonderful project. I enjoyed watching.

      Why haters? When someone does not agree with the general feeling, is he a hater? Don't use that word with such contempt at people who don't share your judgement, BECAUSE YOURS TOO IS A JUDGEMENT! Honestly, for having built a comparable table with palettes in France (much more beautiful palettes than these), it's too much work and repeating work for a modest output. It's about how, the method, you start to build it. Classify me as a hater, that won't change my objective note.

      @@joetke it's "haters" bc you're so negative. and only people filled with anger and hate are so negative. There are ways to voice your maybe not so objective opinion, get your point across, and not be so negative. I say maybe not so objective only bc you said things like," much more beautiful palettes than these." That is subjective and up for interpretation. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
      when you want to criticize someone's work, " too much work for a modest output." Follow up with something helpful.. When I have made a comparable table, I start by trying to find better palettes. then when assembling I .....then you can finish it with," yours is nice, a little too labor intensive, especially for the end result. I hope my tips can help you in the future."
      I'm no woodworking pro not even a beginner, but I do know that there is ALWAYS more to be learned and more ways to do things. To be negative about anyone's hard work is being not only hateful but hurtful and I think there's just about enough of that in the world don't you? Good Luck and peace be with you! 💕

    OUTSTANDING RESULT!Now that's what I call a labor of love. The patience of a saint.Beautiful work!That's so cool you got to spend quality time with your grandfather like that.What also hit me is I once had that exact same table saw, and still have the exact same router table and combo belt/disk sander. Exactly! Weird karma.Now, did you ever get that vise?!?!?!?!?"Like"!Na Zdrowie!

    Lot of work and it looks great. Kudos to you for acknowledging your mentor, Master Grandpa Lew. Suggestion: when you're working on pallet wood invest in a cheap metal detector. The small expense and extra time will pay off in undamaged blades.

    • @watcherwatchmen7785
      @watcherwatchmen7785 Před 4 lety

      I chipped a very expensive planing blade by using reclaimed wood that had finishing nails in it because I didn't check with a detector. I was "Penny wise, but pound foolish." Good advice. If you have a very strong neodymium magnet, that will work as well if you don't have a metal detector, and best yet, it doesn't need batteries!

    • @treecycled

      I was going to say that. Glad I looked at the comments first. You must take care of your hands saws can do horrible things to them. Also use that guard that came with your saw.

    • @treecycled
      @treecycled  Před 3 lety

      I agree. In these earlier videos i took my safety way too lightly. I use a push stick almost religiously now unless im doing the Flip-rip method, and then hands aren't even close to the blades. These table saws i used had all the of "safety features" pulled before i ever used them, I've recently purchased a brand new cabinet saw with riving knife, blade guards, etc.. Thanks for the concern though, its dually noted, and thanks for watching!

  • @djay6651

    • @treecycled
      @treecycled  Před 4 lety +12

      I usually snap a piece of scrap wood off, or use the scrappy little red craftsman add in that came with my other table saw. A lot of this footage from early in the video is almost 4 years old when i never used them and didn't really concern myself with safety a whole lot, more of a get it done type attitude. I have since built a discipline about it and will use them within 3 inches of the blade now. I definitely could use a set, but i plan on building them in a future quick video.

      Yes! In Lisbon Portugal we say the same!! "Pra quem é bacalhau basta!" It means that you can serve bacalau, a cheap food (it's dried codfish and it's very popular here), instead of a more refined dish. The table is gorgeous!

However, that phrase naver made much sense over here (Sudeste Brasileiro) because 'bacalhau' isn't exactly a cheap item, hence the use of its variant.
