I recently had the need to take apart a few dozen pallets. I had a short time to dismantle them as they were taking up a lot of space in my shop. I wasn't proactive in ordering a proper metal pry bar (was going to be 2 weeks) so I decided to put one together out of some random pieces of wood I had hanging around the shop. It actually worked way better than I thought it would and made quick work of quite a few of the pallets. It took about an hour to make and less than 5 minutes to fully dismantle a pallet with it.

Of course, not every board survived, as pallets will be pallets and there could be some design changes made to this pry bar to further prevent splitting. But for what I needed it for, it definitely served the purpose and was a big help in cruising through the job.

In case you're wondering what I'm doing with all this pallet wood, I'm currently working on putting together a large, outdoor patio table. Make sure to hit the subscribe button so you don't miss that epic build.

Thanks for watching,
