Over the past few weeks, I've been watching about 15 of your videos now, and I must say you're an absolute genius. Not only do you create the most wonderful things out of scrap wood, making it look like it's all very easy, although often also very time consuming, but you're a master at editing your videos too. It can't be an easy job, making the choices what to show and what not, especially because it's your own work, and one could expect you to be a bit biased, and show more than necessary, but no. We only get to see the essential things, all of them, in a nice and calm manner. Duplicate actions, showing the amount of work that's involved, are presented as a kind of time lapses. Wonderful. The density of information in your videos is therefore very high. You're not wasting time of your viewers. I've become a big fan of your channel.

Great video. I loved the way u did those rabbits with the band saw!!

It's refreshing to see people who know their craft.

This is one of the best videos on UKposts. No music, no talking just the best asmr sounds.

I just realized WHY you are one of my favorite channels. You don't say a word, you let your craftsmanship speak for you. It speaks very loudly, and in multiple languages. Another well done Epic project.

Your shop must be every pallet's dream; reincarnate as a perfect wood piece of furniture.

I love the handles made out of brass bolts!

I'm a machinist and a wood worker that likes to reuse and upcycle whenever I can. I must say this is more impressive to me than a Gerstner chest. Beautiful work.

Another awesome job sir! Things I like about your channel: 1) No music. You let the tools sing to us. 2) You are not constantly asking for more subscribers. 3) You don't have the fanciest, most expensive tools, but you know how to use what you have and you use them very well. 4) Your videos look more like cctv setting in your shop, watching you work without putting on a show. 5) You do some awesome work that shows others that it can be done and not having the tools is no excuse. Keep 'em coming and thank you for sharing.

I literally laughed out loud when you leaned in to find an excuse to harvest the felt off your billiard table! That was indeed epic! Thank you!

The drill index inset into the top tray was a stroke of genius. Love that!

I am by no means a mushy person. However, had been told by my grandmother "In order to be a good cook, you have to put love into what you are doing" This video is clearly a great example. Well done!!

That's the fanciest tool chest I've ever seen. It's more like work of art than a tool chest. Done with so much warmth, talent and soul. Thank you for your great videos, I love watching people creating things.

The value of your work far exceeds the value you can get for this masterpiece.

My grandpa was a woodworker and I have his toolbox he made and he drilled holes in the corners from to to bottom through drawers except for the lid and put metal rods down them then put a lock on the lid so you have to open the lid to pull out the metal rods that are locking all the drawers in.

That is now a heirloom. This chest is nicer than any store bought chest! Job well done Sir! You are a true master of your craft!

Clamping with the wedges, I would never have thought of that, brilliant idea.

There is nothing quite so satisfying as a neatly filled, well-made toolbox. The bit with the felt was a nice touch if humour!

Sir, I watched this morning (02/02/2023) your manufacturing a 'treasure chest' with secret drawers, and was so impressed, I deliberately searched for more examples of your work. I found this, and may I say what an excellent tool chest it turned out to be. Again, thank you for sharing !

You, good sir, are a hero-level woodworker. Very, very impressive.

Love watching a master doing what he does best.

I love watching a skilled maker create things from scratch. Wonderfully encouraging to the rest of us watchers.

This toolbox is a masterpiece, totally beautiful!

You sir are the quilter of woodworking. A scrap from here, a scrap from there, yields a fabulously awesome result. Well done 👍❤️

I’m a machinist, that has watched this woodworking video 5 times in the last couple days I don’t know why this one is so satisfying

I'm always amazed at the amount of detail you add to your projects, such as the metal inserts and brass knobs.

This man's work is absolutely stunning

a true craftsman ,I love watching your creations form from scrap.

This is fantastic. I have my Dad's machinist toolbox that he made when in College in the 1950's. This is very similar, and is a beautiful piece!!!

I found an old wooden tool chest like this at a yard sale around 10 years ago. I ended up using it to store and even display Civil War relics.

I’m a journeyman glass worker for 40 + years and over those years I have collected various types of wood from the crates of glass or windshields from other countries. This gentleman knows how to recycle and I’m so grateful to have watched him doing his craft. So just a tip = if your looking for exotic woods then hit up the glass shops in your area. We used to toss out miles of good stuff. Just saying --- Cheers 😊

*It is the use of material from a pool table, it's like the cherry on the cake* 😉👍

In his younger days, my dad was a master woodworker like you. I used to love being in the workshop watching him create art. The smell of sawdust still takes me back. And watching you create art also takes me back. Gives me warm vibes. Thank you. Truly-thank you. ♥️

After doing woodworking for about a year now I cannot express how impressive it is to see the fit you get with your pieces. Getting that perfectly snug friction is a subtle yet challenging part of the craft.

Never ever saw something more satisfying like that. Well done Sir. I love the little handles made out of bolts. Cant stop smiling. Either a stroke or deeply satisfied. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I watched this video multiple times. Beautiful craftsmanship. Amazing how it’s only held together with a few brads and mustard 😏 Felt on cards way easier than trying to glue directly into drawers. 👌

Awww! Only one thing was missing from this excellent video and gorgeous functional work of art: I really like it when, after you finish building, you show "The Grand Loading of the Drawers" for a satisfying finale. Thank you for your wonderful inspirations 💖

Having the vision to see what can be made from old pallets and the skills to turn that vision into reality is the mark of a true craftsman. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺

I know the video is 2 years old and there are nearly 3 thousand comments but if there were some measurements. Especially drawer measurements and their material thickness, I would extremely grateful. It is brilliant.

This is truely outstanding, just overwhelming! And there is nothing more to say...

Beautiful! As a retired 45yr long toolmaker, I may try that. Thanks for the video!

Every time this guy made a new part, I wanted to be there just to cheer him on. I'm a huge fan of utilitarian beauty and he has created an object out of scrap wood, that is useful and beautiful.

I just realized that I had watched this 2 years ago. The 2nd time was just as good, I think. I forget things easily.

I bought my first house this year and have started woodworking in my garage. I built a workbench and a few different jigs, and have been getting old hand tools from garage sales and restoring them. I'm going to make my wife a bird house out of pallet wood. Your videos are inspiring, thank you!

Beautiful as always! I especially love the brass corners, the homemade knobs from brass bolts and repurposing the billiards table felt to line the drawers. My mother never left the inside of her decorative boxes bare. They had the finish work also. Kudos 👍

You may be using scrap wood and pallets, but your investment in tools and skills is enormous. Beautiful pieces you make.

This would be the second time that I watched you make this beautiful chest. Enjoyed every minute. Thank you for sharing.

Always good to see real craftsmanship.

Yet again, you totally blow me away with your talent! You see things in simple objects and bring out the beauty and purpose for them. Amazing job, Jason! 💜 This could've easily been turned into a jewelry box and sold for a lot of money.

That was a Masterpiece of Beautiful work done on the creation and building of the Machinist's Tool Chest. It was very therapeutic watching this video!!!!!

I still have my Old Man's Gerstner machinists box that he bought in 1965. It is put together with dovetails and T&G joints. This video reminded me of his because they are of the same size and configuration. Brought back memories of bygone times. P.S. The Gerstner has a front locking cover that slides out from below to secure all the drawers.

A pure and simple genius. Outstanding and beautiful work of art.

You have the most inspirational channel on UKposts. Each building uses unpromising materials and create masterpieces.

I am always so full of admiration watching your version of 'make do and mend' Eric. Its not so much 'upcycling' ... it's the creation of heirlooms. Wonderful. x

beautiful, i still have my grandfathers machinist tool box and i love them - matt

That mallet is magnificent. So many stories in its faces.

The skill time and patients this gentleman has ... I wish I could work with such precision (as careful as I try to be, it's always just a fraction out)

It's only recently that I've discovered your channel and I'm absolutely blown away Sir. The incredible dedication and patience you show creating such beautiful objects is inspiring. Thank you

One of the best uses for pallets I’ve ever seen!👍

Coolest garage/workshop ever!! The correct tool for the job makes it so much easier. So cool that you repurpose materials! Very beautiful toolbox!👍

First time to the channel. You know its going to be legit from a serious wood worker when you see that big of a glue bottle!

I just didn't want this video to end... I really enjoy and appreciate all this wonderful process... my best greetings from Greece....

I'm a custom cabinetmaker/furniture maker of 45 years. I watched your movie all and I think you did a beautiful job. Keep it up.

This is the most magnificent toolbox ever made. ❤

I really like the mix of electric and hand tools you use. With all the hundreds of videos all using power tools for even the simplest steps this is very refreshing. You remind me of my grandfather and the type of things he made in his shop. He spent his entire career working at Starrett and had quite a collection of very nice hand tools. He made his own tool chest as well. Thanks!

That was incredible to watch! Another project well done.

Stunning workmanship.

This is the third time watching this. It takes me back to the 1950s when my dad made his, exactly like this. I mean, to a T. He even used the old felt from our pool table. My dad was a machinist and pattern maker.

Absolutely elegant design and beautiful craftmanship throughout.

I've been a machinist for 49 years and there was a time when I had a machinist's tool box made of beautiful maple. I remember every little nook and cranny of my tool box and I must say that your work is a beautiful rendition of that very same tool box I used to own. And you did it all without any visible plans or drawings us machinists are so accustomed to. Bravo! A beautiful box made of what was otherwise scrap wood. Thank you for the time you took to make this project. It was a pleasure watching it develop piece by piece. Fred

By far one of the coolest projects I have ever seen made. Very sharp looking box. Work of art, really.

You just successfully made 200K folks green with envy! I just groaned when I saw you had turned 14 of those bolts into mini-handles! Great use of brass for those inserts..beautiful!

I just love how you make everything yourself. Talk about custom! So cool and so beautiful.

I love your old De Walt saw. It is rare to see one like that now. Beautiful workmanship; absolutely meticulous.

Pure hand made gold ! It’s a dying art glad to see your keeping it alive. Pass your knowledge down to your children or mentor to a young friend.

Craftsmanship at it's best. What a beautiful job.

Wow! I'm blown away by all your projects. Thank you for taking the time to record, edit and post your videos, I watch them all...often more then once.

Absolutely incredible craftsmanship with this. I can only imagine how much something like this would sell for. Now I want to try to make one myself

Joy to watch a project for life and beyond to your family.

Absolutely marvelous what you can do if you have the skills AND the access to such lovely workshop equipment.

I said this was going to be another goody and boy, I was not wrong. @epic upcycling, you are a master of your craft, the care and love that you put into your work shines through.

You've done it again !!!! I WANT THIS CHEST !!! 😂 your wonderful talent never ceases to amaze me. I will never see a pallet as junk again. Great project and VERY entertaining video. Thankyou 😊

I love that he makes everything down to the handles, so much skills including math goes into he's work ,plus the man has good taste. Your shop is topnotch, Thank you for sharing your gift of up cycling!!!

Utterly beautiful and mesmerising to watch you work. I’m totally in awe. Thankyou so much for this peaceful, creative video that has made my heart sing! 💕

It always astounds me how many beautiful projects you have made with stuff that no-one would think of using! Wonderful set of draws 👌 👏

You have a profound affection for drawers. I greatly admire your skill and the projects you choose.

You have inspired me... now I need to slowly get the right tools and equipment.

Another project that was a joy to watch, and how lovely to see the mallet that you made previously make a cameo in this construction!

👍🐯👍Awesome tools, brilliant way of clamping the panels up. Thanks for sharing.

A very classy tool box. Much too good for that. Brown and brass just looks great. Very good work.

Such a pleasure to watch a true craftsman create such a thing of beauty. Thanks for posting.

Ooh, this looks like another goody!

Watching you split a two meter board by hand on the band saw without a fence leaves me in awe. Another Amazing project.

Wow! What a versatile craftsman.

This is my third time to watch this and it still hits the spot! Satisfied grin? Goes without saying

Jason, This project is without a doubt my absolute FAVORITE you have posted to date! If I could afford it, I would buy this from you! This is sublime, my friend. Thank you so much for your craftsmanship.

Don't try this at home lol. Not sure if too many people appreciate the hand and design skill here. Many years of practice to get everything neat, straight square and fitting like a glove. Perhaps some subtitles with a few shop notes to explain some of your techniques? But we don't want to take you away from your shed to do video editing. Thanks for taking the extra time to video it and let us see. Truly a gift to the world.

So beautiful. How can people give such craftsmanship thumbs down?

What a beautiful piece of craftsmanship

A first-class tool chest for minimal cost. Well done!
