Really love to see you fail forward instead of pretending like everything is going to plan from the get-go. Nothing ever goes that way in reality, and I think you are teaching a really important lesson in trying to see your 'failures' as learning opportunities. This is probably my favourite build of yours so far.

1000%. Things don't go as planned, and we make mistakes. The ability to stay positive and appropriately pivot is what separates the pros from the amateurs. Love your page, and thanks for the knowledge and inspiration! 🥂

It's a good idea to bend it more than you need, so around a smaller circle. That way it springs back closer to what you need.

I find it very satisfying that your tool level is the same as mine, there's nothing worse than watching someone build something with a room full of tens of thousands of dollars worth of tools. Plus I like how you showed the true struggle on learning on the fly and the mistakes that come with it. Love your work, keep it up!

That steam-bending portion of the video was thoroughly entertaining. Really cool to see you working through the problems.

Love your determination here, that steam bending was probably so frustrating. I've dabbled in steam bending myself, when I built my cedar strip canoe. Those pieces of wood looked really thick for bending. Next time I would suggest doing a bent lamination where you work with much thinner strips, steam them, dry fit/clamp and then glue them together the following day. In any case I'm so impressed with your ability to turn a pallet into a nice looking table. Legs look very cool. Cheers!

If I was using wood that thick for the border, I would have made it into "wobble" board. lots of very thin kerfs cut on the inside of the wood. When bent, the gaps close and mostly vanish. Mind you, I just dabble with woodwork.

I love how you showed the full scale process of the entire project. From the moment you picked it up to the point you completed it - it feels more authentic and passionate rather than of it was to only show the successful parts. Love the videos, keep them going!

One challenge I didn't talk about in the video - this leg design results in an un-level surface, because one of the three legs is offset from the middle of the other two. I ended up modeling an "as-built" of the legs in Fusion 360 to figure out how much I had to chop off of one of the legs (it was 5 inches). There's probably an easier way to figure this out, but that's just how my mind works!

Maybe a laser level? stood it on a level surface, used the laser level on a tripod , marked the lines and then hand sawn? 🤷

I have to say, your videos are the best thing when I'm on my lunch break, I really enjoy watching your content!

A few ideas: 1. Instead of screws, use dowels, gluing them in as you go. They can form part of the design. They can be centered since they'll glue to both the pallet wood and the plywood. 2. Edge banding about 3/4 as thick would have been much easier to bend. You have a lot of internal stresses tied in there. 3. To confidently measure for that second piece, run a string around the outside of where you want to glue it, then use that to mark off the inside circumference on the edge banding. That only leaves the outside circumference to match up.

@teeu.4493

Жыл бұрын

Clever idea with the string! The dowels would only hold after the glue dries though right? Would it not be better to use the screws first and once the glue on the side of the curved wood dries then replace them with dowels?

@kennethmiller2333

Жыл бұрын

@@teeu.4493 Thanks. I think, with a thinner edge banding, and leaving the dowels long and then cutting them off once the glue dries, that would be enough to hold the edge banding. However, swapping out the screws for dowels would be an excellent approach if more strength was needed.

Really do enjoy that you show your mistakes. That's exactly how wood work works! 😆

This is the first time I've ever commented on of these build-it videos. Thank you for showing the mistakes. Mistakes that I might not have to make.

Everybody seems to be turning old pallets into beautiful furniture like desks or tables on KZread. I want to see someone turn a beautiful table into a pallet.

"OMG, how am I going to do this?" Slap that on a shirt and embrace it as your motto. I love watching you figure stuff out as you go. Keep up the great work!

Table came out great. When steam bending it would have been easier with thinner strips and add them on in layers. An idea I thought while watching you add so many screws, since you had already spaced them out evenly once the glue had dried on your round boarder you could have taken the screws out, drilled a larger hole in each one and then add dowels, flush trim them and make it a decorative feature. Keep up the good work.

You had me hooked with the “neature walks” clip! Never met anyone that’s seen those videos and very few that think they are funny. Great build!

Use a 1/4 or 1/8” thick wood for the edge bend, or if you really want them to be that thick, on the inside of the bend, make a cut about 1/4” deep every 1/8” and then cover the top with a circle cutout.

I am glad you included the struggles in the edit, otherwise the viewer never really gets to know how challenging the work is. This pallet wood table series is addictive. Keep them coming.

Awesome maybe try marking center line on the table 1st then cut both of the steamed board 1 1/2 inches further then the line of both steam boards, then put a half lap on all 4 ends then connect them. Possibly having no gaps. I love what you did and now I'm inspired to do the same

Dude you lucked out on that oak bending as it did and not cracking, Speaking from experience . Nice result , I think the base was lovely. Reminds me of a WW2 anti tank trap

Beautiful table. The legs are wow. I am surprized you were able to bend that thick wood so well. 3/8" is my maximum & even then I use a steel strap outside. The bent ends would hold better screwed into the side grain vs the end grain.

good job morley. You definitely show weakness in many places with woodworking, but the fact that you persevere proves that you WILL learn the best techniques for the future. I love it. Next time I recommend making a 5 minute model 3d printable jig for your screw holes for the end of the steam bent wood that will make all of the screw holes of even distance from the bottom of the board. You can also predrill the hole while the piece is still flat so you can space them evenly.
