I Take Wood From People's Bins

I went out for a JUNK HUNT around the city of Norwich and found loads of materials and then used them to make a woodworking project! I like using waste materials in my project so searching the alleyways, communal bin areas and skip diving or dumpster diving is a great way to find things!

That first wood hunt was 8 years ago?!! Wow. I guess I have been watching a long time. Your use of salvaged materials is what sucked me into your channel. I don't do woodworking at all, but I love the inventiveness and creativity of your work. The step-stool turned out very nice and looks much sturdier than a store-bought one.

I enjoy these junk hunt videos very much. I have never done it anything like it myself but recently i picked up an entire large trailer and truckload of walnut, maple, cherry, and oak at an estate sale. Several thousand dollars worth of wood acquired for just 181 dollars and two hours of labor to load it.

@asobstoryforeverysong9853 Ай бұрын

That was great. I think what would be really good is if you found a skip outside someone's house, then asked them if you could root through and make them something with whatever you find. Something they could actually use. Then they get something made from things they would have sent to the tip, and you get a great video out of it.

Actually saw someone do that but can't remember the creator. They stopped and picked up a piece of a tree someone had cut down and had at the curb and carved them a spoon. Might have been peter brown but not sure

I completed an Operating Theatre course in Norwich back in 1983. Your ramble wood hunt with views of the city brought back many happy memories. If I ever return to England, Norwich is where I would settle. Please feel free to make as many rambling wood hunts as you like. I personally hunt for pallets for my projects. Mostly, the soft wood variates as some of the hard wood ones are as tough as concrete!. Currently making a chair side table out of Hasqvana pallet wood. Keep up the good work on the videos; they are very enjoyable, educational, and inspiring. Sarah from Tasmania

Fantastic! I love hunting the streets for good finds, so it's definitely enjoyable to watch this "Junk Hunt." Would certainly tune in for more. The build at the end really adds too.

Absolutely loved this. I watch all of your normal videos but this is another level. The JUNK HUNT is such a great idea and would make a fantastic additional series. I must admit I can't walk past a skip without taking a little look - but like you I would never take anything without asking permission first.

Great stuff, back in the '80s I would go skip diving in Chelsea and Kensington, what a treasure trove that was! Enjoyed your video, thank you and stay lucky

@koenbus Ай бұрын

It always amazes me what people throw away. You can really find treasures if you know where to look, and if you look often enough. Recently I fished a fully working PC monitor out of a skip, a fairly nice model even. And tomorrow I'm going to remodel my garden shed, and the hardwood double glazed window that's going in was a dumpster find as well. It pains me a bit to see how much perfect good stuff is thrown away, but it is nice to get free stuff!

@arcadia1081 Ай бұрын

From one junk junkie to another, well done! I must film my local German recycling centre which never fails to bring up cool stuff- I've had laptops, tools, pots and wooden furniture from mine! I also hunt for pallets. I burned only pallet wood in my fire this last winter.

Thanks Keith, nice to see you revisiting your roots, I share your mixed emotions about what you found, it could be good news and you've influenced people to repurpose and recycle items and it could. be that councils are doing more, but not east to evaluate. The project came out well and the cost being some strolling around in the sun is appealing, but this is a tough thing to make a business out of unless you have a successful KZfaq channel ! I love this sort of content, and really appreciate how candid you are about what you find ! Spent a lot of time in Norwich, two of my children went to university there, it's a much underrated city with a really interesting history !

Really enjoyed that Keith, it's amazing what you can make from discarded wood and metal that people consider "junk" and will last many lifetimes, unlike the Ikea rubbish that everyone seems to love. I get though that many people don't like the "dark" or "wood" look so go for the cardboard coated wood so would be interested in seeing what you could make from salvaged "white" materials too like melamine chipboard at a push or real wood that is "whitened" using stain and or just whitewash... I know that it's not your style for your own home but these would probably sell...

Love this type of thing Keith, its right up my alley 😉 I really enjoyed it when Mathiaus Wandell used to do it.

Love this. You could make a little layered garden in the broken pot - a fairy garden. Loads of videos on youtube how to do it. Great wee stool. We're currently digging up our front garden - bought a mattock after seeing you use one. Great tool that. Front garden is FULL of builders rubble. We've tried digging it before but to no avail. Now we're actually making headway. Looking forward to turning it into a wildflower garden. Also, I just scored a wooden table and armchairs for the garden on facebook for free. They're in need of work but mostly cosmetic work. Can't wait to get them sorted and hopefully when summer comes (it's 15 celsius here. Someone needs to tell those up above that it's June!!) we'll actually get to sit out on said chairs. Love a good find.

Hi Keith good video on a junk hunt, you never know what you fined. last year I came across 4 sheets of 18mm ply they were half sized and in a skip at a council property and I ask the work men if I could have them they finished a refurb on the house and the council work men said take it as it left them more room in the skip, so thank you Wrexham County Council. The last time I was in Norwich was back in 1987, It was my first job I worked for a Wrexham company fitting steel shelving and racking systems and done a lot of travelling, we had a job at Norwich Union on a business park I think it was on Baker Street in the city putting up shelving at the insurance company for documents.
