- I set myself a challenge to build a recycled, pallet wood chest using no nails, screws or glue, and all made using hand tools.
This was a very rewarding project to make.

You know, what you are actually doing is important not only to us followers of complex and interesting pieces of art and furniture. It is also important for generations to come in that you document and demonstrate old work prosesses and skills that often were lost after the industrial revolution. My father built boats, log cabins and houses and I learned so much from him, but you are on a level that very few artisans can match. Thank you for your sharing and teaching, Mr. Epic Upcycling. No one beside you, no one above. Summer greetings from Mette in Norway:)
Thanks Mette :)
Respect 🙏
Wow, thats all I can say. Incredible, Wow again!
Do you Work for IKEA !???
As a long time woodworker, I really am in awe of your work! That wood chest is an heirloom for sure! 👍👍👏👏
Thanks very much :)
They said "you can't put a square peg through a round hole." He said "wanna bet!" Truly incredible craftsmanship!!
Uploading just as I’m sitting down for lunch and need something to watch? You’re a legend as always, mate.
What he said!
Thanks Sam :)

Even after 40 years of working with wood, I still love the sound of sharp tools cutting through the fibers :P
That Sir is craftsmanship of the highest level. No Glue, No Nails, No Screws, NO POWER TOOLS. Excellent work 👍👍👍 . Thank you for sharing. Take care of yourself 🇨🇦
Thanks very much :)
The art of carpentry,when people say I need this tool,or that electric tool,,just watch these videos,and learn something special,great videos keep them coming please.
Folks, that is what’s called professional wood working, the man’s a genius. Old, Old long forgotten techniques by most cabinet makers.
I’m loving this build.
Can’t help wondering what they used before sandpaper was available.

@NBZW Not by me, my friend. I'm 90 and spent all my life doing what he is doing now.
@@dropperknot It’s a long lost art continued by few, your blessed kind sir...Seems we belong to the same club, been doing the same things all my 90 years, breathing.😁
We all dream of having bigger workshops, but this guy built this piece without moving more than three feet from his vice. It's pretty humbling and is an amazing standard that he's set.
Showing once again why you are the best woodworking channel on TH-cam. No gimmicks, no annoying "jokes", no shortcuts. Just high quality craftsmanship. You should have 20x the amount of subs.
Thanks very much :)
Every once in a while youtube blesses me with a gem. Thank you
Mack from MIDWEST MAGIC CLEANING mentioned your channel and I paused that video to take a look at your channel and watched this video. I don't think there isn't a pirate, including me, who wouldn't want this chest. Because of how you worked on this project (no power tools) I cast my mind back to 'those times' when these types of items were made like this. This is a wonderful video. Your style reminds me of THE NEW YORKSHIRE WORKSHOP (whose channel I love). I have given a thumbs up, subscribed, and I will watch your other videos.
Thanks very much :)
So it turns out there are parts of the internet people are literally unable to hate on because of how well done it is. I scrolled and scrolled didn't see a single negative comment
bad comments also disappear on long videos
i guess haters have a short attention span
He loves wood shavings too much. Should change the title to "Memoirs of a Thin Wood Shaving"
The squeek of the hinges certainly adds to the character of the chest. A great piece, thank you, once again, for sharing your work.
Thanks. The creaking hinges was a lucky bonus :)
Absolutely marvellous. You are a rare treasure Sir.
There is not one video of yours that doesn’t make my jaw drop. I took up woodworking during lockdown and am only tinkering really but I think I might have a go at this if you don’t mind, the failing and learning would be just amazing for the soul. You my friend are a master
Fantastic. Level of skill and experience here is phenomenal. Not many woodworkers on YT that can do this without electric machinery. Thank you for your video.
Thanks :)
This was absolutely intense. The care and thought of making something from scrap wood to a handcrafted heirloom was mesmerizing. Thank you, I was captivated all the way.
I retired last year and decided to get into woodworking as a hobby. I need something to do with my hands all day. Now that I’m retired. The things I make seem to be in demand although I believe they are sloppily made. As I watch your videos I see what years of experience can bring. I’m sure your work brings top dollar. I’m not in it for money but selling a piece gets it out of the way for something new. I hope to return to this video in a year or two to see if I can make this half as well as you. My respects.
This friend of mine, he works with primitive and simple carpentry tools, but he produces luxurious, wonderful and authentic pieces of art. This gives us a clear indication that it is not important to have advanced equipment to produce professional work, but what is important is in the mind that works. I think this person practices his work with love and passion, thank you My friend, I am sending you greetings from my country, Saudi Arabia.❤️🌹
What an absolute pleasure watching you create this piece, I've thoroughly enjoyed the whole process. A wonderful gift to have at your finger tips. I just love the wooden chest. Regards Jan
Thanks Jan :)
That box is a thing of beauty. I feel so peaceful watching it come into being. Wonderful! Thank you for the lovely visit. 🖖📚🫖🐈⬛
The authentic creak of the hinges completed it.
Keep up the good work.
You are incredible craftsman. Very interesting tools that I never saw before. I am glad to find you for me to watch your channel. 😎😎😎😎😎
Seeing him working with the wood so relaxed and patient you realize why when God decided to come down like a human and have a job like other people, before starting teaching for love and forgiveness, He chose the profession of a carpenter.
extremely enjoyable to see an artisan doing his craft to see that someone can achieve all this without modern tools or electricity thank you c.noel vancouver canada
Awesome, this is the way a work of art is made, only hand tools and lots of knowledge. Thank you for sharing.
You, my friend, are a true master. Just found your channel thanks to Midwest Magic Cleaning and I'm thrilled. I would love to learn how to make goods the old school way, stuff that truly lasts and looks made with heart, soul and a love for the craft.
Wonderful! It's nice to take a break from power tools. Back to basics!
Loved the trick of using the long clamp and a steel rule to establish the curve, that’s a new one to me. Lovely work with good tools and skill.
Thanks :)
This reminds me of watching my dad work when I was a little girl. I loved watching the curly cues of wood as he use the plane. I’m 78 now. You don’t see work like this anymore.
I’m 32, making a cane with hand tools. Well trying to anyway 😂. I love the little curly wood too.
Love watching you work your magic. The curls of wood when you plane the wood are so satisfying, except i got a little seasick when you took us on a ride on the plane!!!!! Beautiful piece of woodwork. Makes one realise the work the colonials had when they first settled the americas and Australia and New Zealand. Thank you for sharing.
Spectacular! A masterpiece heirloom. And those squeaky hinges, brilliant touch 😉
This man is truly blessed. Amazing simply amazing every project he does. What dedication and talent. Hands down one of the very best out there. Thank you for your channel sir.
Every beginner craftsman needs to study videos like these. Thank You!
Nice job,looks good. But the best was watching you making everything with hand tools. That's the way it was done once upon a time.
The crisp sound of razor-sharp tools was simply amazing. Thanks for sharing the Japanese style saws in action and the chisel holder that turns a chisel into a plane. I hope you can find a pirate to buy your chest.
Fantastic chest, I love the wooden "nails". God bless
Bringing back the good ol' days of how things were done before power tools! Real craftsmanship right there...I love woodworking and general tinkering, but don't have the space or budget for shop tools. It's not like I'm trying to mass produce, or on any time schedule to get a project done, and I rather enjoy the finer, by hand style of making something. It reconnects me to the past that way. Really dig your work.
This is upcycling on a whole ‘nother level!!!
Fantastic job!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️
Thanks :)
This is how my Brother Charles (RIP❤) built things out of wood. Very strong durable & beautiful. Thank you ❤ & Blessings
I love watching a true craftsman at work, great vid thanks.
That little hand drill brought back memories! I can hear my grandfather's voice ..stop pressing so hard, let the drill do the work silly girl! My childhood in a sentence ! Love that you've done another amazing job! You are a fantastic craftsman and I look forward to each and every project
I love your videos. No words just subtle music which is nice as well. Truly shows actions speak louder than words. Keep the videos coming 👍🏽
Everything you make is pure awesomeness.
Thanks very much :)
reminds me so much of my grandfather's work , you are wonderful, thanks so much.
I loved watching that, you've got mad skills. I wish I had the skill and the patience to do that.
I hope whoever buys it off you appreciates the work involved.
We need the same type of videos for other furnitures, table, desk,...
You are a true artist, congratulations.
Хорошая работа, давно жду ваших новых работ, это класс, без единого гвоздя, работа мастера и скрип как старая дверь, класс.👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for building and filming!
*Perfection! It turned out great! Old Good School!These sounds, like in my grandfather's workshop!*
*Well done master! Respect* 👏😍
Thanks very much :)
Amazing skillset and patience that can't be matched. Doing that chest with power tools would be fun, but doing this way is unequaled. Good job.
Thanks! Never expected to see anyone make such a fine-looking piece of friction-fit cabinetry! Last time I saw the techniques you used was reviewing the work done by my grandfather during World War Two rationing when nails and even glue were hard to come by.
Thanks very much :)
"Friction fit" concerns me a bit. How does it not fall apart with changing humidity?
Now THIS is craftsmanship !! Awesome build.
Thanks :)
I've always enjoyed it when you pass over the power tools and use hand tools. When I dine out, I always order something I couldn't cook at home. It's the same with TH-cam videos. I don't watch people do things that I could do, rather the things I only wish I could do. I get exited every time I see that you have uploaded a new video. Thank you for sharing these brilliant videos. 😎
Nothing said again and a perfect little chest at the end. Absolutely ridiculous! Love it.
Unbelievable.
I hope it never falls into the hands of someone who is unaware of the immense skill and craftsmanship that went into this piece. It's simply amazing. A lifelong treasure.
Dope AF results, @EpicUpCycling! This ought to be in a high-end home decor catalog and/or retailer!
Old world craftmanship right here. The lost or fading art of carpentry without the use of modern technology. Super impressed.
Absolutely brilliant and amazing to watch. Lots of patience and dedication required.
a true craftsman! Always a joy watching you turn wood into something new!
Holy crap. That is impressive. You are a true master craftsman!
Thanks very much :)
Ich bin sowas von schwer begeistert, absolut spitze. Echte HANDarbeit. 👏👏👏💪💪👌😍
I just love watching you work with wood. What a talent you have!!! I am so glad I a
started to watch!
Liked before i've watched the video. I know it's gonna be another epic piece. 😁😊
Thanks for making something beautiful from something so mundane. There's hope for all of us.😊
This is a man who actually enjoys the process. Very patient. Knows what he wants and is not in a rush to get there.
Wow watching this reminds me of my dad who liked you was a true craftsman. Thank-you it made my day
A wonderful build, I wish my carpentry was a tenth as good. All the best.
That's what I call perfect craftsmanship - Awesome
Настоящий мастер! Великолепное исполнение!
Beautiful! I will be watching every single one of your videos!!!
Sir, If I EVER get to your skill level, I could die a happy man. When I read the title for this video I knew I had to save it for a time when I could watch it a couple times and back up to take notes! I have never heard of friction-fit cabinetry before today. An amazing job and great inspiration!!!
THANK YOU FOR USING HAND TOOLS! I love the sound a #6 hand plane makes.
#6 my favourite plane :)
great work, i did get a chuckle for you putting a square peg in a round whole lol
when his hand tools are way better than your power tools🥲😂😂 awesome work...loving that opening and closing sound💪🖤🤟
I love all your content but going hand tools and old school is absolutely fantastic to see. You Sir are a gifted craftsman!
Thanks very much :)
Beautiful to watch. Goes to show how much help modern tools, glues and fastenings give to speed up the process. Cannot beat handmade.
Every time I think this is the best piece Jason made. Then he exceeds the last again! What a skill and what a joy to watch.
Pure skill and craftsmanship, soul healing project for any woodworker
Quite a remarkable build, Eric. What impressed me most was the accurate drilling of the holes for the dowel pins. That is pretty hard to do, and done very well here.
Tout le savoir-faire du Maître-menuisier....
Un seul mot : Respect !!! 🙏
Merci pour ton partage, c'est une magnifique leçon ! 👍😉😊
Amazing build. I have never seen such small wedges used in the hinges. Really great work and with no modern conveniences. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks very much :)
Absolutely amazing. I can't wait to build one for my grandson.👍👍
I just want to say that, watching you do all the work by hand, helps me think about ways to be more efficient and creative, even with power tools. I have some injuries that don’t allow for me to be able to build things completely by hand with no power tools. So it’s a privilege to SEE it all done by hand. Thank you for sharing your skills with us all.
Hola! 🖐I've said it before and I'll say it again; you sir are not a woodworker but instead a magician. What you build is inspiring. Thank you for sharing your talents. Take care and have a good one, Adios!👊
Thanks very much :)
This was an absolute delight to watch !
From the crafting of wooden fasteners and hinges , to the handling of beautiful hand tools , the entire video a peek into the past of skilled craftsmen at work . Thank you !!!
The treasure chest in sailor-pirates stories: mesmerising 😮😊
What looks like something so simple is NOT! The intricacies you put into your projects is phenomenal! So enjoyable to watch, thank you!
Without a fully manual electric tool, I thought the work was sensational, congratulations friend.😊
As a machinist...I am in awe of woodworking at that level and talent. Cheers to you! I've never seen a dowel punch....brilliant. Thanks from B.C. (Canada)
So nice to see someone doing it "properly", by which i mean no power tools, no glue and most important of all, no epoxy!
Really was a pleasure to watch
Whatever you do, don’t take out the squeak. Inspirational work.

Once again, I am in awe of your workmanship and patience with all of your finery. I could not complete half of the intricate work without pulling hair out. Bravo to you.
Thanks :)
OUTSTANDING! Simply OUTSTANDING!
I am so grateful to see you create another piece of work and with hand tools. My father passed on his knowledge to me and it has given me great pleasure using tools like yourself 😊
The perfect amount of "creeeeekkkk" when you open the lid. It's beautiful.
You make working with wood appear simple, but what you accomplish takes special skills. I am always in awe watching you work. Thank you for sharing with us. 🥰
One word Amazing!!!!! could watch you all day.
