Now that turned out great mate, that nice authentic HUON PINE, from the little island of Tasmania that I have had for 25 years….. was the icing on the cake. Did you burn the live edge? Cheers ⚓️🫡🇦🇺

Hello from Montreal Canada. Every time you speak of woodworking and pallets I feel the exact same. Seeing trashy free wood become something beautiful is truly satisfying. Makes you feel good... on the inside!

Thanks for what you do and post Mark. I started with wall shelves and moved on to shoe racks, a plate rack, pirate chest (with a coopered top). So far, the last project was a bathroom sink vanity. You have been a big influencer in my hobby. Carry on M8. Take care & stay safe.

Nothing fancy to say but….. thanks for the time and effort you put into your videos and the encouragement you give to us all to give it a go. Cheers….. Pete

I get all the free pallets I could ever want from my work. Some of it is trash but a lot of it is really pretty. The guys have started saving the pretty ones for me!! Love your builds!!

Much Love, thank you for being the stand up builder you are.

Thank you mark. I have made hallway tables, floating shelves and coffee tables and more! All because of you. Now I have something to do during these long Alaska winters.

Thank you for making me feel, "normal." I just recently started my woodworking journey, and all I can swing, right now is pallet wood. You're 100 % correct that it's WAY too easy to let the sensationalized elitism of some social media presences, make you feel bad or "less than" by using pallets. But I've already tapped into something new, in my heart, with woodworking, and I truly appreciate your positivity and words of encouragement. Thank you, again.

Love the 3 bonus tips 💚make me fell good on the inside ..

Hey Mark I just want to say thank you, between you and Jasper i have learned soooo much and am taking the first step in just getting started. I've already started collecting and breaking down pallets. I have watched just about all of your videos and many of which i have watched over and over again. I love all the work you do with pallets and i honestly love seeing you mess up on projects. It helped me realized how its okay to mess up on projects and has helped me realize that i can work on my own projects as well. I just glued up my first small slab this weekend about 1 3/4" thick. Need to make a few adjustments but it was very satisfying to do. So thank you for everything you do and hopefully here soon ill be starting a channel as well showing off some of the unique ideas i have for pallet projects.

I built my shop cabinets years ago from a huge Motorola pallet box back when I worked for them. It felt amazing when my Dad told me how impressed he was with what I built. I still use pallets when I find a good one. Love the tambour doors!

Mark - a few weeks ago I spent my lawnmowing money on a brand new table saw thanks to your "Just get started" video. Because it was my own cash the Manager couldn't say anything. Then a shedload of applets appeared on local Ebay which got trailered home. I've just been on holiday in Italy so am about to start building stuff!. I already built a tool bench, shoe rack, bird box and bird table. Thanks a ton!

Haters gonna hate, no matter what you make. I have never used a pallet but obviously enjoy the methods, humor, and projects. Your no waste attitude is the way to be. The sliding door cabinet is really cool project.

I just got started! Had a jobsite saw in my shop for a year and fired it up a few times, but it always scared the hell out of me. A few rookie mistake kickback incidents didn’t help. Wasn’t hurt though, just shit myself. Yesterday I faced my fear and got cracking making a house for the feral cats that live on our property. Biggest hurdle is not having a jointer. So I fabbed one up using a miter slot on the table saw. And holy shit it’s the best thing ever! Just turning wonky pallet wood into squared off, straight pieces… it’s damned near orgasmic!

Mark I just wanted to say thank you for all of the videos you make. I recently just bought my first house and have been tackling DIY renovations. Kitchen cabinets are on the list and intimidating to get to, however your content has made me realize how many amazing items can be made from pallet wood. This has gotten me into breaking down pallets and starting to practice with the wood. I never knew it would be as easy as it is. I'm going to build a lot of pallet projects into my house. I may even start a youtube channel of my projects.

Excellent re-use my friend !! I never waste anything and hate to see others do so. Creating art and saving the world one tree at a time .

Mark, you got me started in this woodworking game. You make beautiful woodworking projects seem accessible and accomplishable.

You are a inspiration promoting good mental health mate thank you 😅

So glad I watched this. I wasn't going to. It popped up and I'm at work and thought, I'm just too busy. Almost swiped it off my screen... Then ...by some weird chance in the chaos of space time. I managed to get a bit of time to scratch myself and saw your upload. I've been a subscriber for ages. I have some tools and wanted to get into it. But just have no time. After watching this mate. I'm going to make time. So I guess that means. I've just started. Crazy thing, I even live in the same town as you.

Can we get a daily Dainer made video please! I am joking. Thank you for all the hard work you put in to this content. I love your work.

I love everything about your work. While I don't use pallets often, I do try and make as much as I can from recycled timber for all the same reasons. Broken furniture, stuff in council cleanups, so on. You know those stakes councils use to support tree saplings along the side of the road? When the tree grows and no longer needs the stake, you think the council comes around and collects them? Of course not. The stakes end up on the footpath or in the street. So I collect them. Made a side table for my living room earlier this year out of garden stakes. And think about that; a tree grows up, is cut down with sole the destiny to become support for other trees. But before it ends up in the tip or rotting in the gutter, I step in and give it one last purpose, which is a place of honour as furniture in my house for the rest of my life.

Reason 10 is also kind of a blessing; it keeps your choice of project limited so you aren't overloaded with design options

Nice! Turning trash to treasure makes me feel good...on the inside. Even if it's someone else doing it. :)

Awesome job Mark. You are my second favourite woodworking channel (Woodshop Junkies😁) . Definitely my favourite pallet timbertreewoodlumber channel. I have only made some pine boxes for the missus to paint, so far, from the stacks of pallets I collect from solar panels. I'm off to the garage now to start stripping some pallets I've been saving. Sunday morning thicknessing seems a good payback for the neighbour's dogs keeping me awake

I just got started three years ago. Currently making an octagonal tombola for a Carnival. My very first pallet wood project was a wooden feature wall in my sons bedroom - it has colour changing backlights. He uses it every day. I now rescue wood from Shitbook Market Place - mainly scrap hardwoods. I'm just doing me. As always, your content is inspirational. I love the community you have with other content creators too. Keep up the work and stay safe in that 🚁

Did just that, I got started...! Collected pallets, started to break them down, it's tough at first as each new step is just that, new, never done by you before. Pallet buster makes it so much easier, and while I had a table saw, the thicknesser was a welcome birthday present. Latest addition was a cyclone dust extractor I made, and I'm into the first hall table. I have other things in my head to make, and I see new projects in every day settings. But the focus it to make and sell, aim to cover my costs, then carry on. Thanks for the motivation 👍

I've used bits and bobs of pallet built raised bed in the garden, outside table, bench, compost bin all with pallet. But never took palette reuse as far as you do. So much work go into your creation i'm a big fan!

looks GREAT and the change at the end Blows it away ☺☺☺. But I didn't expect anything else

Definitely started a few weeks back, watching your videos and a couple other content creators. Love the way you approach woodworking. Great content !

Thanks, I have just started using pallets, and people can't believe it is pallets I like your outlook on life and keep it up

Stumbled on your videos about a month ago mate. No idea how they came up, I've never done wood working in my life. Have been looking for a hobby other than video games and thought I'd just get started. I built my work bench out of pallets, then on to a mallet, hot wheels track for the lad, and now I'm making my second bench for the thickneser i just purchased. It's been such an amazing adventure so far, and i'm learning something new every day. and fuck me it really does, feel good in here.

The slab took it from oh wow to OMG!

I am in the process of accumulating more workshop tools both honed and power… I am new to woodworking and love your philosophy in regards to reusing wood and pallets… love the tips and tricks and out side the box ideas.

Love your channel! I have been wood working for over 40 years and I lost everything in a hurricane a few years back. I have been building my new shop and getting tools to replace and am almost ready to get back to it! Thanks for all you do! That is true I have heard over the years putting people down for not having certain tool or a small shop or they use the "wrong joinery". I have always told them to do them, to just do something and learn from everything!

No better way to start a Monday than watching your latest production 👍. This usually is followed by reviewing some earlier creations which, like many others, just got me started. Taking early retirement (61) was the best thing I’ve ever done. Second only to the new woodwork addiction 😁. Thanks for your motivational content mixed with excellent humor. Cheers Pete' New Zealand.

turned 30 this year n decided to give a new hobby a go, thanks for the entertaining videos i must have gone through 20 of yours by now, you've definitely given me lots of inspiration to just get out there and start trying to make something! Keep up the good work :)

I always chuckle when I see your videos. They are both inspire and entertain us. Thanks so much and keep them coming.

I’ve been making things from pallets for about 12 years. From small gifts to 10’x12’ shed. I love what you do! Thank you for sharing your creations.

Pallet wood was my entry into woodworking. It was a low cost way of figuring out if I even liked the hobby…. The more I realized I loved it, the more money I invested into things!

As a fellow pallet user I love watching your videos. Very inspiring, and very well made too. Cheers Mark.

Just about everything I've learned about woodworking I've learned using pallet wood and I have always given exactly zero f's what others think. I have a productive shop now filled with benches, cabinets, drawers, jigs and just about anything you can think of all made of free pallet wood. It has been all free and taught me so much. I would advise anyone to get into pallet wood even if to get a new perspective on it.

What an amazing way to wake up on a Sunday morning. Nothing like my favourite Aussie. Beautiful m8 absaloutley stunning work. I'm gonna get cracking on stuff soon although kids on holiday for 7 weeks is gonna kill shop time 😲 will get there though. Looking forward to the in-depth talky talky video 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It's been awesome seeing your journey, glad I could go along for the ride with you!

Been wood working for a few years now. I find pallet wood to be a little easier to work with, and yes, its free! I still dabble into the hard wood for cutting boards. Theres a soft in me for free wood lol. Great build! Cheers from West Texas

I love your channel Mark. Wonderful, inspirational and funny.

Another enjoyable and informative video, Mark. I especially enjoy #10, the problem solving. I try to remember it when I a project frustrates me. By the way, my Mrs. is coming around to the palletwood aesthetic. She'd been skeptical for a while but after I made a computer monitor shelf for my desk, a shoe storage/bench for the mud room and a raised dog bowl holder, she actually requested a window table for her indoor herb garden. Anyway, thanks as usual for the great content and keep well.

Just found a local warehouse giving away thousands of pallets every day. I haven't bought wood in weeks lol

I don’t know how you do it but every new video is more entertaining and heartwarming than the last one. Congratulations on another amazing project! Love the result!

Just... Get... Started... 😎 I think we all need this t-shirt in our lives. (I'll even design it for you, if you like...! 😁) Been loving this channel from the start, mate; you keep doing you...! Finally got myself the shop I've always wanted, so the tedious process of layout and workflow begins...! From walking sticks to chessboards, I want to tinker with them all... but every moment in my new shop, every new idea, every mess, and every pile of man glitter is punctuated by that phrase in the back of my mind... complete with a little Aussie flair. 😎 Stop procrastinating, overthinking, and... Just... get... started.

I like the attitude as much as the many projects you have made . This is a cool channel ! . Thank you .

Hello from Las Vegas Nevada.. just wanted to say I love your videos.. don't stop doing what you're doing brother.. you are an inspiration mate 💯🍻

That was cool! I’m working on putting my shop together and I’m drawing inspiration from your videos. Soon I want to show you some of the things I’ve done. I thought about what I wanted, then I got started. Thank you.

Ive been saving pallets for years using them only sparingly while trying to find direction on how to utilize them to the best. Your videos have been truly inspiring for me. Ive made a few pieces over the years but have always felt over my head. I always seem to over complicate things, your videos bring me back down to the simplification of it all. I love your videos mate!!!!

Thank you for what you do as a new woodworker just trying to get started you have become my favorite channel to watch because of all the amazing inspiration you give and the beautiful and amazing things you make a true artist and craftsmen. Keep up the amazing work and Thank you for sharing your passion

First time comment: I've been watching your video's for a while now all the way from the US. I've really enjoyed your stuff because you not like the rest of the woodworking YT'ers. Your content is so relatable and entertaining. Keep it up sir!

Nice project Mark. And thanks for the reminder that free really is free. It might cost some time, but that time is well used. Cheers.

Thankyou, you're such a kind man. 😇 ✨️🙌

Been waiting for another video. Great job as always. Glad you’re well, and thanks for being you.

You are awesome! Thanks for your content attitude and advice!

I love the piece you made. Well done! And as always a deep message within. Best regards 😊

I just got started... Thanks to you 😊 Cheers

Very cool video. And very will said, especially the last few points. Excercise being the highest when I also use hand plainers to processnthe boards. So keep them videos coming

Appreciate the encouragement brother

Awesome thanks for such a great video

That thing is cool as fuck, I love it

That looks fantastic.

Appreciate the discussion topic. The project stand roll door tambour. Love the scale of it. Very fun size.

"I don't know why I cut out the cubbies on the top piece" you just did that to make it lighter 👍

That is awesome

Fantastic!!!! And love your personality!!!! You seem like a great guy!

i couldn't agree more mate. i went and spoke to a business who had an abundance of surplus pallets. there all crappy pine pallets. but not to me. if it werent for the two typs of pallets they use. i would never of just got started. i would never of built... almost built my novice build workshop. ok it is not finished as i took the winter off and didn;t get back on to it until mid spring. but that was because i got bit by my plaining during the early winter while whearing a long sleave baggy hoody and got my arm pulled into the blades. lucky it was a cheap synthetic hoody. so the fabric tore away faster than it pull my arm in so the damage was minor. still it gave me a fright. and left me with a not so keen attitude to carry on. but. i got started again. took a breath. turned on the painer thicknesser. then went for it. now my workshop isn't a fancy built workshop. as it is made from type one style pallets from the company i source them from. 960x680 framed pallets with a chip board topper. these made the floor and walls of my workshop. the boards i took off the pallets i used to make the roof and line the walls inside. then used the planks off the tye two pallets they use which are pretty standard. same size. 960x680's. with plank and block stretchers and plank tops. for the cladding outside with the top planks. putting a routered edge on opposing sides to create a ship lap look. the smaller stretcher planks are now making my wood floor inside and the type one sqare pallet frames now are becoming my work benches and wall cupboards. my workshop is madealmost made from surplus pallets. tarp as the damp layer that goes around it. i had felted the roof. but this winter the rain came in hard and burst the bitchamin seal. flooded the workshop. and soked my table saw and ceased it up. so i took it apart unceased it. but could not get it to realine back into it's original frame. see a nice table saw. great youtube reviews. and only £275 at the time i was looking into buying it. but... i'm a tight arse. hence building completly out of pallets. so i used the pallets to build a new table saw. using the guts out of the old one. used a shower curtain rail as my sled tracks. all because. when i get unmotivated due to idiotic set backs mostly of me screwing it up. i get to watching the wood working community. who inspire me to get my backside back out to the roject. not going to let it beat me. i'm a complete novice. last time i did any kind of real wood working was at school and age 12. so i thought well i could do it then so lets do it no 38 years later. hahaha. i guess yoounger me see better results than older me can produce. not giving up. novice as i am. i decided my first novice project shop be a shop for me to stop being one. nothing wrong with pallets. and those toff woodworkers who say it is not sustainable as a business plan. well... anyway. it is. free work is free wood. if your not buying it. you still get to pay for it. just not with money. little elbow grease here and ther eis nothing. besides they don't take to long to came apart with a crow bar and rubber mallet. though the denailing becomes very tedious. tap under the nail. lift the nail point up and tap it out and repeat three million times. know what i mean? but if me. a complete novice can built a solid workshop out of pallets. build a staggered shelving with a single beam mount to hold four small shelves and a central eye paice scafild plank. diamond montage picture frame (not finished). table saw and now dismantled rad cover. because i decided i could build this one better. then anyone can do it. just maintain safty awareness if your a noob to such a powerful tool as a thicknesser painer. it almost become true. once bitten. twice shy.

Awesome vid - check square.

Thanks Mark you are such an inspiration. 🔥👍 Everytime I watch one of your videos they make me just want to run to the garage and get making. It’s so good for my mental health.

Excellent video Mark. Thanks mate for helping me get started !!

Mate, it's a beautiful sunny Sunday in my neck of the woods and just when I didn't think today could get any better I was able to sit on my back porch and attend the church of Dainsey! Keep preaching brother, I for one am a convert to the pallet woodworking path! BTW, amazing little piece you created there! Cheers mate!

Aloha Mark! when i first discovered pallets my health was in a bad way and so i had a very limited income.... ok i was broker than broke lol. Making something out of pallets was the only way i could afford furniture! i even reused the nails! once i made a few things i started looking for other people on the interweb for inspiration. thats when i found u! i said hey this guy is really bringing the the best out of this beat up trashed up wood! like to the next level! Followed! It was cool to see someone else on a similar journey of pallet wood discovery and ignoring all the noise from the negative head waggers and lip flappers. i started finding free broken furniture and repairing them and adding pallet wood i processed. it helped my physical and mental health and it did great things for my bank account lol. Mahalos for u being u Mark! 😄😄😄

I absolutely love that!! You're an inspiration, thanks for your "brain' it's getting me excited and boy did I need it ...power to you my friend

Heck yeah! Dainty is back!

That's a great job!

Great video as always. Thankyou for passing on your motivation and passion for making. Not sure I would have started without you giving me the confidence to just get started. As someone who genuinely has no idea what he's doing, cheer mate. Hopefully you can make it down to the makers meetup so I can shout you a few beers ;)

I just got started. You are a legend Mark.

Thanks so much!!

Great stuff 👏🏼👏🏼

One of the first videos I saw was Jasper Makes, which after a few videos led me to you. I started woodworking about 8 to 9 months ago and it was the two of you that made me start my whole woodworking journey using pallet wood. Thank you for showing me an easy way to get wood without paying for it, if it wasn't for that tidbit of information I wouldn't have been able to build the things I have due to the lack of funds to buy wood. I do however, use a mixture of pallet wood and store bought wood for my projects but it's nice to know that if I don't have the money to buy it then I can still create with pallet wood that I might not be able to purchase. Like you said, you do you! I also hope to be on KZfaq soon! I still have to figure out how to get good sound and I can't use my phone because it's full and would take days if not weeks to clear off to use, maybe eventually. I'm also waiting on a laptop that's being given to me but I'm so close to being online! You guys are amazing and I just wanted to say thank you for showing me a viable way to keep doing what I love! Stay safe and Happy Building 💯😁

Subscribed to your channel after watching this video (the first time I've seen you) solely because of how positive you are. Keep up the good work.

That is a really fine piece!

Thanks Mark for your inspiration. Just starting out. Started with a skanky pallet & turning it into a multi strip cutting board. It’s actually starting to look like something. Cheers

Your the legend that helps me to get start with new tips and tricks every video love ya work.

Very nice 👍

Beautiful project, Dainsey, your skills continue to soar and you continue to inspire. It’s nice to have a bit of an intro video - I think I’ll forward this one to a few people who wonder why I’ve become so obsessed with pallets over the last few years. Thanks for doing you!

Awesome video ❤❤

great job ,a unique method to recycle pallet wood 👍

I have been watching your videos for just over 2 years and have enjoyed them as am in scotland i have always loved doimg workwork but never had the tools or the confidence but trying to learn how too thanks dainer keep up thease great videos

Could not have said it better well done!!

Liking this a lot. Nice one

Big love from Denmark!!!

Love the whole project. Keep up the great work. Your videos are amazing

You have no idea! I recently started my journey. Where’s my life is at this moment, I was breaking down to my fiancée. Lost and overwhelmed with myself. I was explaining to her how everything I am doing is so over saturated and it seems like there’s no point at times. I just gotta do me! Forget about Brian making the super resin epoxy table out of driftwood, forget John killing it with his artwork and tattoo talent, forget about all of the music artists of today. We all hold value in all we do somewhere! Just do you! I can’t wait to wake up tomorrow and get after it and forget the noise in my brain, just do me and spend time with my daughter while I finish my workbench up💪🏼 cheers for the words that weren’t necessary to come out of your mouth in this video but did more for me than you know brotha!!❤️‍🔥

That little cupboard is just beautiful- plus love your attitude to pallets and projects.

It's not a bug, it's a feature! Pop some magnets in the accidental upside down trays and hide your 'special' check squares there 😂. What an awesome little unit, and great video mate. Looking forward to the chatty unofficial version
