So I’m wanting to get into turning pallets into mostly furniture. I can find them fairly reliably, and some of the tables and things I’ve seen here and on YouTube are just beautiful.
But I’m not a woodworker, and I’m not sure where to start on tools. I’ve got a few basics like a circular, miter, Sawzall, orbital sander, a drill, and some basic hand tools. My favorite pieces have been made with the small, glued up pieces of pallet as well as the herringbone type tabletops.
I know what people on YouTube use, but I’m wondering what I can get away with without spending a fortune before I know whether or not i enjoy the process.
I’m thinking an electric hand planer, router, and eventually a table saw would be very helpful additions, but I’d like a few opinions. Like do I really need the planer, or could I rig something up with a router or table saw to get me by until I decide to redecorate my house and yard? Thank you
