I watch a fair number of woodworking channels on RUclips, but this one is far and away the best. No dialog, no narrative; just a man and his tools bringing to life the image in his brain for us to share and enjoy. Love the projects, love the format. Thank you, Jason for your time and efforts.
I hope you’re very proud of the work you do! You’ve earned so much respect on this site not just because of the beauty of your projects, but your gentleness and love when making them
you are a treasure,a master in your field,reminds me of all those quatrocento italian mannerism legandary hundreds ofpainters from giotto to sarto to raffaello,ending with buonarotti and da vinci.thank you sir for positive feedbacks which give hope to humanity turning them to mother earth children....
cram 100s of people in a factory with state of the art machinery/software and they can produce hundreds and thousands of exact replicas of things that all ready needlessly exist in the world. place a dude in a workshop with a bunch of scrap, and he can produce truly one of pieces that have never been seen before. KEEP IT COMING!!
For a minute there, I thought my man wasn’t gonna line the pieces holder. I’m not sure when I’m gonna learn that he’s very thorough, very precise, and a very skilled craftsman.
After he finished the board itself I thought ' that's a short one but nice", but then I noticed all the pieces of soid, ' oh so now he is making a storage box for the chess pieces, of course he is', but the bit that got me was I could not work out the cuts on each corner, but to see him measure and cut tiny piece for decorative and also the brass square on each corner, I thought he is showing of now, good is not enough for this amazing man, he is only satisfied when it stands out. Fabulous and would braces any hime, I would not be surprised if he is a chess master as well.
Sir, it is a privilege to watch the hands of a master create the things you do. Thank you for sharing the skills of a true Sensei..Peter, Bristol. U.K.
Who needs crazy technology when you can make sawdust! Younger generations really need to appreciate what real craftsmanship looks like and what you can accomplish with your own hands/imagination. This is real artistry.
A work that deserves respect. I imagine that there is a difference between perfection and love. Perfection is the desire to reach the highest level that perfection allows. As for love, it is the desire for beauty. You combine the two.
That is so very beautiful. Whoever commissioned that is going to have something they can pass down through their family for generations. Thank you for your videos. There is something about watching people create which is indescribable.
The first video of your channel that I saw was the 'Narnia' wardrobe, and I was hooked. You are not only a superbly skilled craftsman, but an incredible artist. The detail and finish that you put into everything you make is amazing, and anyone who owns one of your pieces is very lucky, they are worthy of becoming family heirloom items. It is hard to believe that such beautiful items are made from stuff that most would burn or bin as unusable, and it is a good lesson to everyone to take a second thought before just tossing stuff out. Thanks for letting us all see the beauty of your work, and the process behind the finished pieces.
The first I saw of him was his 3D reindeer, have you seen that? I’ve watched him ever since 👍🏻 super ideas he has and so relaxed in his ways of work. Top!
Sir Jason... still again: one more of your masterpieces... amazing... superb! I'm like ever absolutly speechless... your patience in work, step by step... many times repeated... And all this tiny parts... every thing is always perfect... millimeter by millimeter... or a half or a threequarter... Thanks for sharing this highend highlight! Chapeau 🎩
I have to get this off my chest now. I've been watching your videos for a long time. I love how you breathe new life into old things/materials. And I like the unspectacular way you present yourself and your work. When I've had a stressful day, your videos help me to come down and relax again. Thanks for this
Awesome. I am indescribably glad that there are people as brilliant, creative and skilled as you around to make these things. A true master of your craft.
I've watched a number of videos where people ask for suggestions for using their off cuts and scraps. I have always suggested game boxes with a playing surface on top and a drawer for game pieces. All they could come up with was cutting boards and signs. I am so pleased to see your idea. Beautiful.
Subbed after the first minute, because he uses his tools safely. So many youtube makers don't follow safety instructions and it's refreshing to see someone do so. ❤
I feel like you really like hand tools. You have the opportunity to use the power tools I've seen a lot; you instead choose the hand tools. I do this when trimming the hedges lol, I have an electric hedge trimmer i got from a family member, but i still go back to the hand sheers. It's peaceful.
Just like Elinor Barker, The Narnia wardrobe was my first video, I also was hooked. Pallets, junked furniture, scrap metal and recycled nails and screws, all become works of art, honestly, works of art. New furniture, drawer stacks, and things like this chess board, and all kinds of useful things are done with care and detail. None of this can be done quickly. Another superb project brought to completion. I think we are all waiting for what is next. ;-)
Your patience and skill is second to none. Sir I delight in your mastery at you artisan and dedication to bringing things back to life with such beauty.
Sir you're one very patient artist I love the fact that you use hand tools I love the technique I love the fact you show all steps I love your energy around your piece You remind me both of my father and my grand father And i love the smile at the end of the video !! Thank you for being such an inspiring person 🙏🏻🙏🏻 PS : as a chess player, i would definitely love to play a game on this board !!! Oh and thaaat set of pieces !!!!
A chessboard has annotations. I know you are a perfectionist and wouldn't expect any less from you. It should be retouched with letters and numbers added to the board.
Jason, you are a rare and superb artisan craftsman! I am not saying this lightly. I am the son of an old world cabinet maker. My dear father recently passed away, rest his soul. Thank you for posting these documents of your work. I know that if you have children, they will be proud of you and your work.
You say "thanks for watching." I say "I'm so thankful your showing." As a hobbyist, watching you it's beyond measure the amount of beautiful ideals and tidbits of skill you teach to the public. I tip my hat again and Thank You.
Others have said it better and more eloquently than I can however; I just want to say that your practiced hand and attention to detail are a credit to your professionalism and therefore, your very nature! You Sir, are a Master! Thank you for allowing us into your shop to witness the products of your imagination come into existence!
Jason working my way through your back catalogue and it just gets better and better. The skill level and attention to detail is just remarkable. Your patience is endless just like your calm and reassuring demeanour is so relaxing.
Outstanding Craftsmanship! ❤ I love watching you create these beautiful items! This chess board will become a precious heirloom for generations to enjoy and treasure. It is skills like yours that need to be taught to our kids once more, instead of the flat pack generations our country seem happy to settle on. 😢
Впервые увидел и прилип к экрану до конца ролика. Отличная работа, мастерские руки плюс талантливый подход, как результат прекрасное изделие на грани произведения искусств. Супер!
Wow! So gorgeous!! What makes you so unique is not only UpCycling, but the fine details you include. I love the brass inlays and the molding you include in your pieces. Much ❤ to 🇺🇦 from 🇺🇸
You never cease to make me smile while watching you create. Each moment I think you are finished, you craft a new detail. The wood you used for the box was very beautiful. The whole project is amazing. ❤
There's not "junk or scrap" materials there is not such a thing.... knowledge, skills and craftsmanship it's what is needed....and my friend you have all the last three one's... I may not have the the money to be you sponsor but I'am proud to be member of your group.
Magnificent project! Certainly a check mate of recycling materials, imagination and skills! Thanks again for all of your hard work bringing these projects to us!
Again, it shows you don't need fancy and expensive tools to make something beautiful, most youtube woodworking videos only see brands like Festool, Mafell, Milwaukee, it's like you can't do anything without them and you in the simplicity of your shed and DIY tools show otherwise. Dude, I don't miss any of your videos. You are clearly underrated, you deserve to have millions of subscribers.
Definitely fit for a King, Jason. Your meticulous detail with the brass kickplate and the moldings is stunning! Besides the color and grain the very cool pewter pieces are perfect size and a beautiful match. Funny my Son found my old one recently, that I made in high school shop and is going to make it free standing for him and my grandkids as I did with him many years ago. Once again you made my week and topped the bar for yourself! Happy and Grateful for the journey and memories! ~PJ

You never make "just a box", you make an heirloom.
You are a true Craftsman , and certainly know your chosen trade
Thanks very much :)
that sweet unfiltered sound of a band saw cutting metal plate
I watch a lot of woodworkers on RUclips, but you, sir, are a true craftsman!!! Stunning!!!
Thanks very much :)
@hardcompour: absolutely agree. Finish and eye for detail are truly exceptional.
You're the only RUclipsr where I'm happy to see a new video out.
If you want to know what "Epic" stands for, look no further. In this channel and the amazing art that is created, you will find its true meaning.
I watch a fair number of woodworking channels on RUclips, but this one is far and away the best. No dialog, no narrative; just a man and his tools bringing to life the image in his brain for us to share and enjoy. Love the projects, love the format. Thank you, Jason for your time and efforts.
Agreed
Fantastic upcoming. Been doing some myself but nowhere near as professionalism, and such care. Thank you again for sharing your skills and craft!
Well said.
Wow - what a beautiful set! You are a Master Craftsman and an artist, Sir! Everything you design and craft is exquisite. ❤
Thanks very much :)
As they say, "One man's trash is another man's treasure." And you sure turned that pile of trash into treasure!
I hope you’re very proud of the work you do! You’ve earned so much respect on this site not just because of the beauty of your projects, but your gentleness and love when making them

I’m not sure when I’m gonna learn that he’s very thorough, very precise, and a very skilled craftsman.
I love your videos, the southing sounds of the shop and no obnoxious music. Best part of all is watching a true craftsman work. Great job as usual...
Thanks very much :)
What a gem. No exaggeration, just the honest truth, viz., epic out of the ballpark home run. BTW, the unobtrusive music was great. Thank you, Sir!
Thanks very much :)
I've seen enough of your projects now that I shouldn't be surprised at just how good they turn out. But I always am Jason!
Thanks Martin :)
👍! I'm so impressed ! You are an amazing Master..!
In the words of Ron Weasley, that was bloody brilliant. Cheers from 4500 miles away (7200 Km). 😎

I just rewatched this because my plans have one in the future for my Grandson. That's one heck of a metal lathe for a woodworker!!
Sir, it is a privilege to watch the hands of a master create the things you do. Thank you for sharing the skills of a true Sensei..Peter, Bristol. U.K.
Thanks very much, Peter :)
Jason, Yorkshire. U.K.
Beautiful chessboard and craftsmanship 👍🏾
Thanks very much :)
The attention to detail on the tiniest pieces. Then shows us he’s got dozens duplicated. Blows my mind the patience you have sir!
Just lovely, thanks for sharing.

Attention to detail is second to none
After some taller projects now just a "little chessboard"... But the same quality... Genious!
I have no words. I love chess and woodworking. This is.... just perfect.
Brilliant craftsmanship again.
Thanks :)
I have to get this off my chest now. I've been watching your videos for a long time. I love how you breathe new life into old things/materials. And I like the unspectacular way you present yourself and your work. When I've had a stressful day, your videos help me to come down and relax again. Thanks for this
That is definitely a championship level chessboard.
Awesome. I am indescribably glad that there are people as brilliant, creative and skilled as you around to make these things. A true master of your craft.
Thanks very much :)
Now that a masterpiece, worthy of a place in anyone’s home.
Thanks very much :)
A pleasure watching a master craftsman at work 😀
You're a master of your craft.
Thanks :)

I've got a few ideas for a gaming table. Hope to do a video at some point :)
EXCELLENT WORK Mate, have a nice day you deserve it !!! .😀😀👍👍.
Thanks :)
I admire your patience and precision in crafting unique and timelessly beautiful pieces and furniture.
Beautiful!
Subbed after the first minute, because he uses his tools safely. So many youtube makers don't follow safety instructions and it's refreshing to see someone do so. ❤
Everyone is mentioning “family heirlooms”. That was my first thought seeing it finished. Handmade by a skilled craftsman. Outstanding.
Absolute class, I am in awe every time I watch your channel.
Thank you very much.
I feel like you really like hand tools. You have the opportunity to use the power tools I've seen a lot; you instead choose the hand tools. I do this when trimming the hedges lol, I have an electric hedge trimmer i got from a family member, but i still go back to the hand sheers. It's peaceful.
Every video is teaching viewers practical skills, art, patience, lateral thinking, recycling - love it. Thank you man.
Another detailed use of redundant materials, to fashion such a delightful piece of furniture. Much respect!
Thanks :)
This board is stunning. My Father collected chess sets and he would have been proud to have one this beautiful in his collection.
Beautiful, as always! Next project: hand carved chess pieces!
This is a masterpiece! Congratulations from Italy!❤🇮🇹
Thanks :)
Jason is the man!
Just like Elinor Barker, The Narnia wardrobe was my first video, I also was hooked. Pallets, junked furniture, scrap metal and recycled nails and screws, all become works of art, honestly, works of art. New furniture, drawer stacks, and things like this chess board, and all kinds of useful things are done with care and detail. None of this can be done quickly.
Another superb project brought to completion. I think we are all waiting for what is next. ;-)
Thanks very much for the comments, Robert :)
Absolutely spectacular job.❤🎉
Thanks :)
Your patience and skill is second to none. Sir I delight in your mastery at you artisan and dedication to bringing things back to life with such beauty.
Thanks very much :)
Sir you're one very patient artist
I love the fact that you use hand tools
I love the technique
I love the fact you show all steps
I love your energy around your piece
You remind me both of my father and my grand father
And i love the smile at the end of the video !!
Thank you for being such an inspiring person 🙏🏻🙏🏻
PS : as a chess player, i would definitely love to play a game on this board !!! Oh and thaaat set of pieces !!!!
Thanks very much 🙏🏻
@@EpicUpCycling You're very welcome sir 🙏🏻
The way your mind processes the idea of positive and negative space AMAZES me, every time! Thank you. 💖

Впервые увидел и прилип к экрану до конца ролика. Отличная работа, мастерские руки плюс талантливый подход, как результат прекрасное изделие на грани произведения искусств. Супер!
I haven’t seen anyone else use an old crank drill that you had at 23:18. I’ve got a full set of them passed down from my grandfather
Wow! So gorgeous!! What makes you so unique is not only UpCycling, but the fine details you include. I love the brass inlays and the molding you include in your pieces.
Much ❤ to 🇺🇦 from 🇺🇸
Thanks very much :)
You should sell those marvelous creations. It's pure art. Congratulations!!!👏👏👏👏
Quite honestly there is nothing you cannot turn your hands to . Simply amazing .
Incroyable!!!!!! Well Done😀
Thanks :)
You never cease to make me smile while watching you create. Each moment I think you are finished, you craft a new detail. The wood you used for the box was very beautiful. The whole project is amazing. ❤

This is a piece to be treasured by many generations!
When I thought you'd finished, you added something else! That is the most beautiful chess board I've seen.
Thanks very much :)
Magnificent project! Certainly a check mate of recycling materials, imagination and skills! Thanks again for all of your hard work bringing these projects to us!
Awesome job! Its not just a functioning board game. Its also a work of art. Again, great job!
Thanks very much :)
Yet another beautiful piece. Your attention to detail is truly inspirational. Thanks for posting Jason.
Thanks very much, Steven :)
Good Job! Thank You,God Bless You!
wow this build is amazing, there's just no words the craftsmanship is out of this world i just love it.
Thumb up maximum star handmade.. Great Job bro
Thanks :)
Such care and attention to detail, from the brass splines to the drawer handle. You're spreading the love.
Every video is simply junk + junk = ✨MASTERPIECE✨
And at the completion of another piece of art, the smile and wave seals the deal. Thank you Jason. Hi from Australia 🇦🇺
Beautiful and the little brass touches are so perfect. Well done.
Absolutely beautiful ❤❤
Every time you make something I am impressed. Your chess set is a masterpiece. Wow
Thanks :)
Well, every time I thought, "wow, that's really beautiful," you went and made it more-so. Over and over again. WOW! Absolutely gorgeous.
Yeah! A new video!
That is a beautiful thing! I wouldn’t have known it was scrap without watching it being made.
Beautiful
Beautifully done

Thanks very much, PJ. I always enjoy your comments :)
Truly amazing! The work of a master turns into a piece of art!
what a gorgeous piece, this too is art!
What a treat it is to watch a true artist do his thing. Fabulously done!
Thanks very much :)
My eyes shine to see such a beautiful work!
