This box is my favorite.. I was spoiled a bit by grandpa! Big old Scot Irish Swede a beautiful finishing carpenter.. when fifteen he went to work in Seattle doing finish work on steam liners.. by the time I came along he could make the most wonderful furniture.. so if I needed something special I would show him tell him on on my birthday there it would be .. one year a cradle for my baby doll.. a rocking chair when my son was born! It made me appreciate the craftsmanship. It takes to create such a beautiful piece of art and it truly is an art.
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.
Eccellentissimo lavoro. A prescindere dagli utensili che usi, è un'ottima idea per tenere in ordine gli accessori e strumenti per il proprio hobby. 👍👍👍
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.
You kept me watching to the end. I was wondering throughout the entire video what the notch in the top section was for and then at the very end you dropped that drill index in it. I had to giggle at myself for not guessing that. This is another beautiful build.
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 completely agree with everything you have beautifully expressed in your comment. It’s a joy to watch a craftsman going about their work without having your ears assaulted by ‘music’ or unnecessary chatter.. Nor seeking approval, patreon or subscriber requests. SO ENJOYABLE. I’m full of admiration of your skills and craftsmanship. Thank you so much
I agree with you mostly. Reminding people to like and subscribe is not a bad thing though. Often people want to like the video but they forget. I think a likes the least a viewer could do for the amazing videos and craftsmanship. It helps the creator make money and Epic Upcycle deserves to make some money! I'm ok with a reminder at the end to "like and subscribe".
It saves you buying many bar clamps! You can also screw scraps to a scrap sheetwood (or long planks), and wedge against those. For one-off clamping really big projects (or bigger-than-usual, so can't justify buying & forever storing bigger materials/tools).
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.
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 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'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.
That was amazing to watch! Thanks for the proverbial "peek" over your shoulder as you built that beautiful machinist's chest. It was nothing short of inspiring. If I could maybe recommend one tiny upgrade? Maybe put a couple of small sections of chain diagonally from the lid to the body of the box to prevent the top from accidentally falling backwards and ripping away from the body, tearing out , or bending your hinges and ruining all of your efforts. Long time subscriber, always looking forward to your next project. Be well.
Faszinierend wie akkurat Du arbeitest. Es ist eine echte Freunde zuzusehen wie jeder Handgriff sitzt. Ich vermute das es keine Outtake Videos geben wird. 👊😎👍
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!!
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. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
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 !
Makes me want to do it...except i’ve got quilting (which requires a monumental amount of fabric 🤣)...knitting...crochet (both of which ‘require’ lots of yarn🤣)...cross-stitching...give me a minute, I’m trying to remember what else I do that requires lots of $$$! 🤣🤣🤣. Ps. I am still a watcher/voyeur! Pss. I’d use that box for one of my thread collections...or maybe embroidery floss...psss. Rotary cutter/quilter’s clear ruler and cutting mat for your billiard green cutting! Pssss...BEAUTIFUL. Psssss. I’ve passed it on to my woodworking sons...maybe santa might bring it one day?
I have worked in the machinist trade for over 45 years, and I always sort of envied the few guys I met who owned one of these wood tool chests. Very well done! On a side note, the 2 center drawers you installed were traditionally one taller drawer where one could keep his/her copy of the Machinists Handbook. These days most of that data is available online.
Yes, I've seen the single drawer versions of this toolbox. I did think about doing it on mine but my machinist manual is a lot smaller than they used to be, so this seemed a better use of the space.
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.
I was just thinking about brass splines earlier today. Wow. On a side note. You know your skills are legendary when you don't have to say a word and you're getting this many views. Well done.
The brass splines are totally off the charts on so many levels, just brillant. gonna have to steal that idea. Now how are we gonna play pool when i come over for sausge and chips.lol
I cringed when you started sawing and chiselling for the splines. The risk of cracks or tear out seemed just too high. In your situation, I'd have made a 45-deg cradle to hold the chest balanced on its corner and run it through the table saw with a wide blade. Repeatable, and faster. (( you can credit my TH-cam subscription with .02cents for every cut you make ))
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
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.
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 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.
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!
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. ♥️
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 🇦🇺
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.
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 👍
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
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.
Es increible lo que se puede armar con madera y metal. Una destreza total. La artesania en todo su esplendor. Algun dia hare mi propia caja de herramientas como esa. Tengo muchas ganas de armar una con maderas fuertes. Felicitaciones al maestro y artista!!
I live in Indonesia and pallet woodshops are a common roadside fixture here. They make tables, chairs, and then more tables and chairs. Ive purchased these a few times. In my experience the level of detail has been mediocre to passable but it creates jobs and it’s affordable. However, you Sir, truly take Pallet Upcycling to an epic level! What a work of art!
I agree with Countrylife. You are a Master Craftsman.
Another masterpiece. And thank you for your posts without any bothersome music!
Great video. I loved the way u did those rabbits with the band saw!!

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

My pet peeve is some talking over the video. My favorite TH-camrs let the work speak. Thank you so much.
Thought the same thing and came to the comments and saw this so add me to the list. First video and subbed.
You kept me watching to the end. I was wondering throughout the entire video what the notch in the top section was for and then at the very end you dropped that drill index in it. I had to giggle at myself for not guessing that. This is another beautiful build.

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!
What is it about green felt that just finishes a thing ? Makes it go from wow nice to "WOW NICE!!!" ?
Son: Dad! Something happened to the pool table!
1/4"socket in the side pocket off the 3/8" combination wrench
Tbh it hurt to see you tear up a perfectly good pool table. The overall build is stunning but why not just buy a couple yards of green felt?
This is one of the best videos on TH-cam. No music, no talking just the best asmr sounds.
Thanks Brent :)
Agreed. I tend to like and subscribe to the channels that don't pressure you to like and subscribe.
Sorry Brent struggling to hear you over the brown nosing
Snow shmow it’s still shorts and T shirt weather . Love your channel thanks for all you do😊
It's amazing how you turn trash into treasure and make it look easy.
Thanks very much :)
It is easy if you have all the woodworking equipment. I would love to see this using hand tools only. Beautiful work of art none the less.
You sir are a true Craftsman. I hope you sign and date everything you create so your work lives on forever.
Clamping with the wedges, I would never have thought of that, brilliant idea.
It saves you buying many bar clamps! You can also screw scraps to a scrap sheetwood (or long planks), and wedge against those. For one-off clamping really big projects (or bigger-than-usual, so can't justify buying & forever storing bigger materials/tools).
A lot of guitar makers use this technique for joining soundboards and backs where the joint is only millimetres thick.

Done with so much warmth, talent and soul. Thank you for your great videos, I love watching people creating things.

The drill index inset into the top tray was a stroke of genius. Love that!
The value of your work far exceeds the value you can get for this masterpiece.
I've watched this about ten times. Your work is very impressive. I would love to purchase any plans you have for this project.
That wedge method for the panel glue up, never seen it before, very cool

You are definitely a master craftsman. Bravo.
Fantastic, it's the first video of yours I've seen. Blown away, feel SO inadequate.

The brass splines are totally off the charts on so many levels, just brillant. gonna have to steal that idea. Now how are we gonna play pool when i come over for sausge and chips.lol
Don't worry, I re-covered the pool table :)
A big Amen on the splines! wow!

great approach to panel gluing - so simple yet effective, an impressive project - lovely work!
Thanks very much :)
I just realized that I had watched this 2 years ago. The 2nd time was just as good, I think. I forget things easily.
That's a lovely piece of work. You are a real craftsman.
Thanks David :)
There is nothing quite so satisfying as a neatly filled, well-made toolbox.
The bit with the felt was a nice touch if humour!
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!
Thanks very much :)
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 😊
