Lined Toolbox Made out of Pallet Wood

I made a felt-lined toolbox with hardwood from a broken pallet and vintage hardware. With not-so-fine woodworking and some frustrating aluminum bending and brazing at the end, I am pretty happy with the results. Almost three years later, the toolbox still looks great and is working perfectly for my leather working tools. Thanks for watching!

PSA: NOT ALL PALLETS ARE SAFE FOR WOODWORKING (OR BURNING) All pallets should be stamped with the treatments they have received and I definitely recommend looking up how to read those stamps before working with them. Most in my area are domestic pallets that just have a HT (heat treated) or KD (kiln dried) coding and should be as safe as any wood. Stay away from pallets labeled SF (sulphuryl fluoride) or MB (methyl bromide). Do your own research because codes and treatments may be different in your region. ALWAYS wear a dust mask specifically designed and OSHA approved for dust when sanding or using any power tool that creates airborne dust. A medical mask is not that same as a dust mask. Heres a good, quick summary: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7Nilpucp86tdp8.html

I like the idea of drilling out and gluing dowels in the nail holes versus wood filler. I think that will last longer and it might be cheaper considering all the nail holes some pallets have.

My recommendation is to always pick a project you want to do then get the minimum tools you need to make it or make do with what you have as much as possible. You will quickly build a collection of tools, but won't end up with a bunch of tools you don't need (yet).

Wow. I loved this video. Your craftsmanship, style and music all works beautifully. I love how you turned pallet wood into that gorgeous box using such simple tools. I love when people use these simpler tools because it’s so rare nowadays. And I’m one of the people who still does it since I don’t have a table saw, planer, bandsaw etc. Everthing you did in this video, inspired me. I made a similar project a few months back using pallet wood however mine was not quite as well made as yours. I just cut the boards to sides and nailed them together to make a box, then used 3M spray glue to apply my lining. Absolute disaster. The way you do it has inspired me how you do it so accurately and calmly. Is that pallet wood oak? It’s beautiful! Subscribed!

@kelseywatson1974 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching and subscribing! It’s much appreciated! 🙏🏻 The wood is indeed white oak and it appears to be quarter sawn, which gives it that really nice grain pattern. PVA glue (aka white Elmers glue) like I used is definitely the way to go with lining like this because you have a few extra seconds to adjust the fabric before it starts to bond. Spray glue and contact cement have to be perfect 😅

@fraforgt-350r2 2 жыл бұрын

@@kelseywatson1974 you know your stuff man. Quarter sawn white oak pallets! Fancy! Yeah I was using very thin faux velvet, which was just too thin so I had to use foam A4 sheets to back it. I wanted a glue that was strong and had no soak in so it wouldn’t go through the fabric. It still went through because I oversprayed it I think. Really boring product to work with imo. I masked off and still got loads of overspray on my oak box. Sticky on the hands 😬
