Bartop Tables From 100% Pallet wood!
In this video I build a set of pub style bartop tables from reclaimed pallet wood. These tables took an enormous amount of work to create. They are currently installed in a restaurant that recently opened alongside a set of dining tables that are coming out in a future video!

First and foremost, thank you for your craftsmanship....beautiful work sir, You are hereby applauded. Secondly, I have been working with 150 to 135 year old old growth redwood. I am recycling old homes and salvaging all the wood I can. All or mostly all is full of ancient hand forged square headed blacksmith nails. I watched you use your pneumatic nail remover on those pallet nails and just went out to buy one. I have been removing all those old nails by hand for the past ten years and didn't know such a device was even available. So thanks again for the video and your knowledge. I am now 87 years old and still working with wood and you just made my life and future easier. I for one, appreciate you.
Never saw a pneumatic nail remover myself either! What a time saver. Gotta look into getting one of those. Thanks!
Is that nail remover a specific device or a repurposed/modified nail gun?
You could have stopped this video at the pneumatic nail remover and still receive a thumbs-up from me
@@SutchiroPete I have one and it is an Airlocker AP 700. It is designed to knock nails out of wood. It’s available at Amazon.
Why would you not use Resin on that big of a Project. ESPECIALLY for a Bar Top?
Hello, my name is Abdullah from the State of Kuwait By chance I saw the video and it was very beautiful and wonderful I wish you a good life, safety and security Thank you my regards
Excellent work. No talking, just work. Well explained.
I love time laps with sound 😂👌🏻
I have to work on my editing discipline for sure! But ive gotten better at removing the high pitched brain drill noise of timelapse out haha. Check out my latest video! Thanks for commenting and hope life is treating you well!
This was perfect as a vanity desk for me. kzhead.infoUgkxMAlHv7-BBWMrPRm5-uEoD6rtdT7SG2Qr Especially the glossy finish. Easy to cleanI was looking for something that wasn't the traditional white and with more of a modern feel. This fit the bill beautifully. I put it together with no problems, by myself in under an hour.Make sure you double check where you place the drawer tracks before screwing down. I had one track that needed to be aligned with different holes than the rest.
Every time I see pallets piled up, my mind goes crazy with different uses. But, as I live in an apt and have no access to any type of tools or equipment, I can only sit and enjoy videos like yours. THank you!
I love in a medium sized city. Our library district has a free maker space. Get a storage unit for material. And work space. Where there's a will, they're a way
First video I saw with a denailer gun. I've salvaged hundreds of pallets and crates and have two of them. Those things are major work savers when salvaging wood material from crates and pallets!
That nail remover is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen. I need one now.
Beautiful job ! I did something similar when I was in 8th Grade Wood Shop Class back in 1961 . My Aunt & Uncle (Mom's older sister & her husband) owned & operated a Grocery Store & my Uncle was the Butcher . I made a New Butcher's Block for my Uncle with Racks & Hooks on the sides for his knives & saws . I made it using lumber scraps that I got from Housing Construction Sites . Everything was Finished with Ultra-Spar Varnish except the Upper 12 inches of the Butcher's Block which was saturated with Virgin Olive Oil because it was to be in contact with Raw Meat .
The John Wick of carpentry. A man of focus, commitment and sheer will.
John Wick of how many adds you can put in a video.
That wood thanks you for letting it live on in beauty forever instead of ending up in a landfill. I'm going to pick up pallets every time I see them by dumpsters now. Thanks for the inspiration!
It feels like therapy when I watch these videos somehow it is soothing
I understand the frustrations of preparing the boards but even i could see the finish work before it was completed. The preparation is what makes your work unique, a one of a kind piece so be proud of your work.
You spent months creating something absolute breathtaking out of something that was considered trash. You are certainly a master carpenter/woodcrafter. In this instance woodcrafter most definitely applies. Outstanding craftsmanship and patience and attention to detail. Beautiful!! Thanks for sharing. Will be looking for other videos
Solid work bench that's also light and portable. Have brought it to the job site to cut wood on. No complaints!
Magnificent, absolutely magnificent. Thank you!
I love these! And I love that people like you are recycling and upcycling! Excellent example for others! Thanks-- Patricia
Amazing! What a lot of work! Beautiful results. Thanks for the information as well, I did not know about the wire in the pallets. You likely saved some tools and prevented some injuries. Extraordinary work. Truly you are awesome!
I like the idea, your work and the background music. Nice one!
Thanks for giving me more idea I’m a newbie wood worker at the same time a forklift operator and I’m planing to be a full time wood worker . Because of this video i can manage to stay and be a forklift operator and part time woodworker .
Absolutely stunning! Sheer genius! Love your work, such skill and attention to detail Karen UK
Great build and beautiful end result. Very labor intensive by itself let alone filming it too. Awesome. I hope you brand your name on your work so you are forever a part of that establishment and potentially garner future customers. Work that nice should have a signature on it. 👍🏻 Cheers from a fellow Michigander 🍻
Finally a really pallet built project not these fake home made ones that are brand new wood .. has absolutely no character to it .. i used a old pallet to make a 2 seater arm chair and it cane out so beautifully im now hooked on making more projects ... wish i could post a pic to show you ...
So sorry for the loss of your pet that can be very stressful. Your work is amazing thank you for sharing.
What an awesome build. Thank you for sharing! The bar tops turned out just stunning!
I hope you got paid thousands for those bar tops! Labour intensive, outstanding craftsmanship, incredible results! They're amazing. Have subscribed x
Sir, you are a very patient individual.
It ... Toook.. FOREVER! Thanks for watching Bruce! Check out the newest video i posted! Its a sequel to this and possibly even more involved!
@@treecycled I'll dfinitely watch it this Sunday. Thanks for the heads up.
hard core recycling fun to watch!
Thanks for the kind words Rum N Boats! Your name makes me want to take a vacation asap, its a frozen wasteland in michigan at the moment. Just uploaded another video that is basically the sequel to this one, Hope you can check it out and see your comments on future videos!. Thanks for watching and i hope life is treating you well!
I come from a long line of wood workers and I commend you on your resourcefulness and craftsmanship. A project like this in so intensively labor intensive it is a wonder you were able to make a profit on the project. The finished product is absolutely stunning and shows the level of skill and dedication to perfection you put into this project! Great job my friend!!!
This is the most gorgeous pallet project I've ever seen. Thanks for taking to time to film and post.
Using things that are considered useless and bringing beauty is wonderful, I'm glad that you use your talents so well.
My god you must have infinite patience! The amount of tedious work that goes in to even getting the wood ready to use is mind boggling!!
Fantastic work you definitely have a great talent and such patience.
Sorry for your loss. Pets are family members and leave a large void when they are gone.
Thank you much for the sentiments Pamela! It cant be understated how important they are, i tried to highlight them in my previous videos, the little floofers will never be forgotten! Thank you so much for watching! Hope life is treating you well!
"Enormous amount of work..." - no doubt, for sure! Wow..
I grew up in Fremont. I have lots of family in Muskegon County. Imagine my surprise, as I sit here in Kansas, watching this and I'm saying to my wife that things looked familiar on that drive to do the install. Thanks. We'll stop in there for lunch when we visit.
You spent so much time with the prep work that I forgot what you were building! (And I mean that as a sincere compliment!) A tremendous amount of shop work that the customers (and their patrons in this case) never get to see! Highly impressed!
All the respect. You did an outstanding job giving that homeless wood a brand new life. Bravo... Bravo
BRILLIANT! GO BLUE!!
Testing is how we learn what we like. 👍🏻🇺🇸
49:20 I love all the things you can do with a adjustable hammer!!! Great job 👏
Good one that made me laugh.
Amazing what dedication and focus and skills can do for someone.. Great job brother
Heck of a hot countertop too! 👍🏻🇺🇸
WOW! Magnificent!!!
Thanks so much for the kind words! Hope life is treating you well RaeAnn!! if you'd like to check out the sequel to this video i just posted it a few days ago. Hope to see your comments on future videos!
Absolutely love the tables. This was very inspiring to watch! Great work. Thank you
Thanks Mark! Glad to hear you found some inspiration from it! I just uploaded a new video that is basically a sequel to this one! Check it out if you get a moment! I have about 5 more videos on the horizon as well! Sub if you want to see more! Hope to see your comments on future videos!
What??!! I’ve never heard of an air punch tool. I want one! It’s staggering to think of the time and patience this takes. Seriously. Wow!
They are awesome!!
@@treecycled What exactly is that air punch tool and where do I find it?
@@bryonpeterson8652 I got a regun one from Amazon. Really good and worth the money
It's an "Air Locker AP700" available on *Bay or Am*zon.
absolutely immense. and thank you so much for not completely ruining the show with non stop smart arse commentary.
way into depth than what i was looking for. But the finishing product looks great!!!
That was an epic project! It was awesome to see you turn all of those old pallets and make them into very nice tables!!!! I’m sure the restaurant owner is very happy with them! Great work!!!!
Gorgeous tables. Amazing what can be done with scraps. You're a top recycling master.
Thanks so much for the kind words!! Hope to see your comments in future videos!
10%water, 90%Glue. Glue follows the water. Old woodworker tip. Your work is amazing. Thanks for sharing!! GOD BLESS You and Yours
wow.. what a beautiful job.... Lots and lots of work to produce these bartops.... you have a lot of patience .... admire your work,, thank you..
You do wonderful job with those pallets,I admire your skills👍I hope you get paid well
yeah and PIEROGI at end, greeting from Poland to PIEROGI SHACK
Love not seeing things go to waste. I wish other diyers would do the same
Thanks for turning me on to What Burns Never Returns Im watching your video for a 3rd or 4th time and playing Don Caballero 3 as the soundtrack over you working on the planner. Fits perfectly
...... This is probably the best comment I have ever had on this channel. I'm honored to pass on the Don cab!! Thank you so much for the comment and thank you so much for watching!
Brilliantly beautiful.
Thank you so much Linda! I appreciate the kind words! Hope you are well!
Nice! I did some coffee tables with that look. I cut quarter inch thick by one inch wide strips and glued them to cabinet grade plywood. It worked very well.
That's awesome! I would love to see how that turned out! Thanks for watching and hope to see your comments on future videos!
nice build from my brother from MI the Great Lakes State I am from the middle of Michigan
Wow, just Wow! ☺️
Absolutely beautiful work!!! This is exactly what I been wanting to do for a couple of my work tables. This made my mind up for sure. I'll be looking forward to getting them completed this spring. Thanks for posting this great video!!!
Thanks Sherman! I hope the work tables turn out great!
I am watching you from Poland and had a little "haha" moment when I saw the name of the restaurant. :) What you did is absolutely awesome, the meticulous work and attention to detail is just top tier. I love reclaimed wood and I love how you've given these pallets new life. I have to say I envy you a bit that you can just pull them off the street. I don't think it's a possibility in Poland, but after this video I will definitely give it a closer look. On a personal note - I am building my amateur/semi-professional workshop right now and you gave me inspiration for my worktops - I used some old boards I had found in my grandfather's shed to build them. The only difference is I covered them with a solid layer of hard resin. After all, they're worktops. I didn't pay as much attention to detail as you, but they turned out fantastic. I even have the same planer, so I definitely know what you meant by "pushing the limits." Thank you for this video, it is awesome and made me subscribe. So you got another fan/disciple, this time from Poland! :) Great work, keep it up!
Dude...your work and your words inspire me.
Holy crap that was a lot of work
Definitely!! You should see the next set of tables i did, i just released the video a few days ago... Somehow more work than this!! Thanks for watching Jaxon!
This looks great! You managed to turn scrap wood into something that has real value. All that time, care, hard work paid off big time. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes.
Will you have a wood stove in your new shop? With all the wood you burn outside you could save on the cost of heating the new shop. Modern wood stoves are pretty efficient and can be hooked into a duct system to distribute the heat. I had a cousin that heated his whole house, around 1800 square feet, with a wood stove hooked into the central air ducts. He was a carpenter and burned mostly the scrap wood from his projects. I have also seen fireplaces with an insert to heat the whole house while enjoying the fire.
It's so weird to see him burning the wood outside in winter while heating the workshop with a gas heater. What a waste.
@@tubybubi lots of pallets are made from wood chemically treated wood, so there's that to consider.
I respectfully salute you, Sir. You are a hard-working man. Love your video
How inspiring. Thanks for giving me some ideas for my retirement. This checks alot of boxes for me. I love the craft of repurposing items. Plus at the end of all scraps. They end up heating my shop. Thanks and be safe. Get a cage for that van. Sudden stops could be harmful.
I run the same amazon special nail puncher, i run mine at 100-110 psi and the nails missile launch out the other side most of time, if you dont mind them being real deal projectiles, it saves the crow bar step.
Fantastic work! When I saw this video in my feed I thought, "thats an idea for the 3x10 family table for our back lanai." After watching the process move ill try something else. 😀
Beautiful!!
Thank you Charlene!!! PT2 just posted a few days ago, Check it out and maybe consider subscribing! Have an awesome day!
While I am watching this it is at the moment May 18, 2021, the weather is not nice, a lot of rain and sometimes some sun etc. in short, it seems more autumn than spring, but then I watch a video that is covered with snow and yes it gives me goosebumps and shivers run down my spine, actually I should have a look next summer when the weather is too hot! But yes my curiosity is going to win the shivers so I keep looking and admired what this DIY has made of it. Kind regards from the Netherlands, you know that small country on the North Sea with the huge world port of Rotterdam, ha ha ha Take Care you're all !!
Damn!! I hope you didn't bid this job, and went time and materials...... This is insane. I can't imagine how many hours went into these bar tops! VERY NICE work. I'm impressed!!
Look's great all that hard work and time paid off, it must be very rewarding . Have a nice day and Stay Safe , Brian UK !!!
Thanks for watching Brian! Hope life in the UK is treating you well! Peace!
Mitered corners would have been nice, but Wow, the care and craftsmanship!
Incredible amount of work that is a labor of love that's for sure! Wow!
Absolutely INCREDIBLE work, @TreeCycled! I'm currently working on something similar, using old maple hardwood flooring to create a large butcher-block style worktop in my garage/shop. I know you were limited by the size of the pallet boards, but would you say a certain length of each "board" works best, for the pattern you ended up with? Excluding scattered larger & shorter boards, for variety, of course. The flooring pieces I have range from as small as 14" up to almost 8' (only a few straight ones, at that length). I just want to create some good variety in the pattern, without it looking like it's one long board, with no character. Thanks again for the video - it definitely helped me realize that I'm on the right path, and will hopefully end up with a result that's almost as impressive as yours! Cheers!
DETERMINATION=this video! Nicely done sir, I admire your hard work!
Thank you much TTBT! It was a ton of work and I really appreciate your kind words! I hope it was inspirational!
This idea was also born in my head not so long ago. At the moment I have a huge amount of used pallets and thin boards in my truck. They are free! I will take them from Germany to Poland. I'm starting to cattle the house. I will use them for formwork ... then I will make furniture from them. Thank you for your inspiration and ideas!
Wow, amazing what you did with the wood from discarded pallets. Way to recycle. Thank you for sharing.
Now i know what to do with all the pallet wood i got from my work I said this 5 min in and ya know what? Nevermind 😅 looks amazing though
Its definitely a ton of work! Thank you much for watching and for taking the time to comment!
I'll never forget the day I got all excited and took most of a huge stack of pallets home on the ute. An hour and a half later I'd rudely torn apart one of them with a claw hammer and various unsuitable tools lol. Sitting on the floor of the garage looking up at the pile, thinking about how much work it would be to take them back where I got them.. Makes me chuckle. A few good tools made all the difference. Anyway, love the benches.
It's worth to mention that only pallets marked as HT (heat treated) are safe to use for such projects. All other treatments could be to toxic.
Absolutely! I do my best to make sure that i only take Pallets with HT. Stay away from Unmarked if you can, and definitely Stay away from MB! Thanks for watching Pawel! Hope your life is treating you well!
(Newbie question) Is there any way to sand down/coat chemically treated pallet wood with a sealant so that it would be safe for indoor use? I want to build a table/some other indoor furniture, but a lot of the pallets I find are not HT. Thanks!
I understand your concern. But, apparently MB is NOT dangerous to use kzhead.info/sun/Z62bnLZ6gX-eYKM/bejne.html
Never get bored to watch this project. Awesome
Way toooo much work for me!!!!! I take my hat off to this gentleman 🤙🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 He certainly has a lot of talent and most of all, “patience and time”
It definitely was a LOT of time! thats for sure! Thanks again for the kind words!
Where’d you get the racks you used to hold the wood while you were processing it? Those are pretty awesome and space saving!😳
They are actually food service racks! Like the type lunch ladies' will put trays of food on, or bread makers will fill with baskets of loaves. They are super hand for woodworking too! Thanks for watching Michael!
Sweet deal, thank you. And you make it easy to watch, it’s always therapeutic to watch another artist work, create and share with the world. 👍
@@treecycled Oh HECK YEAH, we have some large-scale food service liquidation in my area, & I will either keep my eye out for these, or just build a useful-if-not-pretty version myself. Thank you--great idea.
Beautiful work, my ocd kicked in when he install the legs without cleaning the floor first. no hate its just me...lol
I think you're fuckin awesome.
OCD pinging
what a wonderful job!
Thank you Wilson! Hope life is well!
Those table will last a life time super nice and strong congratulation
Watches for 15 speeded-up minutes, thinks, man, that seems like a LOT of work, realises there is another 35 minutes to go.
Never mind some video's are worth of it and some don't, I like this Guy!!

Pierogi are from Poland, I am from Poland, good job!
Absolutely brilliant!
The Bar tops look amazing!!! how long did they take to build start to finish?
I think probably 200+ hours. Not entirely sure honestly. It was a LOT of time. Thanks for watching Keith!
Interesting Project. What I find a huge risk is wearing gloves on a table saw. There are numbers of how to make push-sticks out that prevents cutting fingers or hands in a running sawblade. Most Suppliers of circular saw deliver Security Parts like riving knife ans Dustcollector from above the Running blades. I found no reason why not to use them when cutting Boards to width. No hidden Cuts or something... I can urgently recommend those security items.
Just a beautiful wood work thank you for sharing 😊 🙏
Wow... just wow.
Great work! I was absolutely surprised that you referenced Don Cab! I did not ever think I would see a one of my favorite albums referenced in a woodworking video. I saw them on the What Burns Never Returns tour in 1999. Incredible.
That was one labor intensive project.
Geez. Thats alot of work. Good ish!
Absolutely beautiful!
