A Treasure Chest of Secret Drawers made from Pallets and Scrap
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 мар 2022
- Is this a treasure chest, or a chest of drawers? Maybe it's both.
It's all built out of pallets and scrap wood, along with scrap metal and almost 1000 copper rivets.
If you enjoyed the lock build in this video, a longer video can be found here.

I've been a cabinetmaker for 35 years, and after watching your video, the only piece of advice I would like to impart would be that "no one likes a show off"!
Absolutely astounding! Never once in my life did I think "I'm going to hand forge my own lock and key."
Hats off to an absolute masterpiece of old school technology.
Thanks very much for the comments, Randy :)
Anyone (the both of you) *sigh* , so much talent and awesomeness. I'm sitting here squealing with absolute delight, as I'm watching everything unfold 😁. I'm no carepenter, but I do know (from small jobs I've done), that working with timber is such a soothing and calming. experience. Watching this entire process has been utterly inspirational. Thank you to you so much for sharing 🥰.
I agree with Randy
Please keep showing off! :)
I learned making furniture as a profession, the only thing that did catch my eye was pretty much that you do a lot different if you work with an budget (mostly due to recycling used wood) and not doing dowels and mechanical connections, but that is more an matter of physolophy than skill.
Most frustrating is that one has to use so many shortcuts and prefabricated today to sell at an price people consider right (because they throw it away after five years to buy new then fashionable furniture again for cheap)
Why do I love this video? Let me count the ways: 1. You show just enough of each step for your viewers to understand it with no mind numbing repetitions. 2. You seamlessly mix modern machine tool work with ancient craft skills. 3. Your facility with each fabrication step is mind numbing. 4. Because the only sound is that of the work, there is no discussion of "Me, I or You should." 5. You do not promote sponsors. machines, consumables or vendors. You can do more of these!
I love the quiet of your videos; no narration, no irritating music. Thank you!
Only a real Master can make such a beautiful and useful thing from waste material !.! Wow !
Whenever I see a new video is posted, it's a huge event for me. I wait til the kid and wife are asleep, I get snacks and a drink and settle in so I can watch it in peace with no interruptions. This is by far my most favorite channel to follow because all of the content is treasure. The design and detailing is of course very impressive, but the dedication it must take to even face performing the work is super human. Watching the first couple of minutes of just getting the original planks milled down to workable material, it's such a contrast to the amazing quality of the last few minutes, when the finishing touches are applied. In this video, every time I thought, well it's about to wrap up...nope. Here comes even more detail work, and more, and more. Hats off to you sir, your efforts are worth the wait between releases, and everything is so rewatchable. If I could wish for anything for you, it would be that you never run out of inspiration to create more of these "riveting" videos.
Thanks very much for the comments, Jason ☺
Nothing more, nothing less.
I am in complete agreement.
@@josephalexander3884 me too. Every time. Keenly anticipated, very much enjoyed.
X10 i can totally relate! This content is pure gold!
"One man's trash, is another man's treasure chest."
I appreciate the minimal use of power tools.
I second the “no one likes a show off. What a craftsman.
That was quite the plot twist when Jason suddenly became an expert mechanic welder and locksmith.
There is nothing this man cannot create!! I mean, can we all reflect on the fact that he handmade the lock and key for this chest? The patience and skill involved in this entire project is unimaginable!
Thanks for the comments ☺
@@EpicUpCycling amazing.
A true mastercraftsmen
fabbed his own hardware,jinges n that lock...wow...i wanna see him do an entire kitchen, it would be freaking EPIC
Making items out of pallets, is kind of like back in the depression, when people made dresses out of potato and flour sacks. Love it!
Here in Montana we keep an eye open for pallets because they're usually made from hard wood and all we really have is pine.
Everybody here is giving credit to this man, who is a craftmaster no doubt, but, hey, let's give some kudos to the filmmaker! His work is awesome and makes the entire video even more soothing, more inspiring and more entertaining to watch from begining to the end!
The hands of Michaelangelo,the foresight of Einstein,and the patience of Job!
I wish we could see it in five years when the copper gets some patina and the finish scuffs a bit. It’s going to look even more amazing with age.
Such a relaxing way to get away from me doing something similar and watching someone else. Every time someone wants to know why I can’t do the job for $50 I need to show them this video. It takes time and passion. It’s not Lowes MDF furniture that will fall apart and be in a dumpster in a year
Well said , that's the truth.
Lowes???
@@vtbn53 I think he means Lowe's, the "furniture" shop ! ;-)
@@TheClBlues What Lowe's the furniture shop? Lowe's is a men's clothing store.
@@vtbn53 Lowe's is a home improvement retailer in the United States and Canada. Perhaps in other countries there is a clothing store by that same name. However, I think you might be confusing Lowe's and Levi's
I appreciate how you use a screwdriver not a drill. As a up-and-coming, younger woodcrafter, I forget to step back and remember that newer technology isn’t always the best absolutely love your work!
❗❗ YES, EPIC INDEED ❗❗ LOVE this Treasure Chest 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻💯👍🏻
i think this is the most spectacular pallet wood anything ive ever seen.
Every time I thought, "Ok, that bit's finished" you went and added more detail, and then again on top of that, even *more*!
No wonder your channel is called EPIC Upcycling!! What a fabulous piece of art you've turned out here. Who will be the lucky recipient, I wonder? The imagination that's gone into this, and the attention to detail, I find staggering. And not only do you build this wonderful chest of treasures, treasure drawers, but you make the hinges, lock and key yourself as well! Absolutely beautiful; well done indeed!
Thanks Katherine ☺
Agree, the most amazing piece of workmanship I've seen. Filming and editing are top notch . BRAVO
That was one of the most satisfying 47mins & 58secs in my life!🙏😌 Beautiful job!
Thanks ☺
Cabinet maker & locksmith...golly!
The bowl you have just made is absolutely stunning. I'm quite impressed that you were able to come up with such a beautiful design with the off cuts you had. Great work.
The wisdom and skill of this man, out standing. I Hate Him!
I patiently waited until I had the opportunity to watch if fully without interruption. Totally worth it, amazing work.
Thanks very much :)
Ну как всегда!!! Круче КРУТОГО!!!🏆🏆🏆🏆👍👍👍👍
You should fill that thing with those gold-colored $1 coins and glass colored gems! :D So cool!!
Dude this piece is the most beautiful box I've ever seen! I want this so bad! My hubby laughed at me n said that probably costs 4500. dollars, I said yeah your probably right! My hubby's a great carpenter also. But he never has time to build such fun things! He's so extreamly talented! But just no time dispite being 60! I'm going to hound him to build me one! I know he never will but a girl can dream! Great job. So incredibly impressed!!! In love with the copper on it also! Lovely!
Thanks :)
I have watched this man make some of the most beautiful pieces from pallets and am amazed at his patience.
This man deserves the Nobel Prize of artisans!
One like is not enough for this video.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😍😍😍😍
My Son and I love Watching your video. He's absorbing your creativity, and I'm learning a lot too! Thanks for the inspiration!
Blown away!!! I sure hope you have had at least a few apprentices. It would be criminal for such incredible talent to not be past to the next generation.
One of the best videos i have ever seen on RUclips and i have been watching RUclips daily for 15 years !!
Thanks :)
You made a multi-craft masterpiece.
Thanks :)
I hope you sold this for a million dollars….if not…then you already have a million in the bank…
Incredible skill and patience hands down…👍🏻
After the first few minutes of this video I was amazed of how much detail and the level fit and finish there was. I do some wood working myself and have watched thousands of wood working videos on RUclips, I sat and watched this video twice. This piece he created is absolutely stunning and looks like something you would see in a museum somewhere. You would never know that was pallet wood. It is truly a heirloom piece that could be passed down for generations.
Thanks very much :)
Wow!! The chest is a treasure all by itself. Absolutely stunning!!
💖 I bet you could make a BEAUTIFUL baby crib...
I am gutted its taken me this long to find this channel. On the plus side, i have a entire catalogue of videos to watch now.
Honestly, we don't see such beautiful craftsmanship these days. Everything is pre-made by CNC machines and simple plug and go these days. There's no more special and personal art given from unique woodworkers. I'm a 3rd generation craftsman, furniture maker! And I really love older, true, and unique craftsmanship. Plus, I have to admit that I really enjoyed your video. You have created a beautiful piece. Congrats on your pro work. You should be proud of your art! Really beautiful.
Thanks very much for the comments, Stephan :)
As I was watching this, I thought if you had grandchildren, they would get a kick out of seeing this made! Of course, with the hidden drawers one can just imagine pirates and hidden treasures. However, it's too beautiful for a pirates' treasure chest. I was fascinated at the handmade lock and key.
Absolutely brilliant! The only thing I can add to the many, _many_ comments rightly complimenting the excellent craftsmanship & videography is a call to the millions of people who watch this video: _please stop buying cheap, throwaway furniture... upcycle what you can.... and support craftspeople by paying for quality!_ This video only shows a _tiny_ fraction of the time & effort that goes into hand-crafting furniture, and while it's more expensive than mass-manufactured items it's going to last a lifetime or more... even go on to be upcycled itself in the distant future! 💜🛠
Thanks very much :)
Your channel could just as easily be called "Epic Art & Genius Upcycling." :) This masterpiece belongs in a museum!
What an absolute treat to watch. MORE.
You are a master craftsman! As I watch your videos, I imagine you spend an equal amount of time on setting up new camera angles for each task, not to mention the editing time each video must require. I've no doubt you can make more money from uploading RUclips videos than you could in selling each individual piece (not to devalue your product, this is just a great way to monetize the creation of a single piece). You're inspiring a whole new generation of craftspeople. Personally, I find watching these videos more soothing than anything else on RUclips. Thank you!
Thanks very much :)
I think i just found my new favorite channel
That water heater is the gift that just keeps giving!
You sir are relentless
you are crazy good at what you do. a true craftsman. to take scraps and pallets everyone else just tosses and make something someone will treasure for years to come is inspirational.
Thanks Ronnie :)
Looks like a labor of love for a loved one.
i have been a sheetmetal worker for 15 years, this guy knows his shit.
true craftsman of metal and wood.
The chest is gorgeous, but making your own lock and key is hardcore. Well done.
Thanks :)
I cant even call any of this woodworking. Youre literally creating works of art
Nicely done! Reduce, reuse, recycle, and make cool stuff. Awesome build! 👍🏻
I can't imagine how many hours went into just the design! Then, how many more in the execution? It is mind-boggling. This is the kind of work the old masters of art and architecture would take on, knowing it could take years to complete. The great sculptures of the Baroque and Renaissance. The frescos of Michaelangelo, the flying machines of DaVinci. We love and enjoy them all yet today. I'm sure this piece will stand the test of time as well. I sure hope you put a maker's plate on this piece so people will have the provenance 10 generations from now! Incredible work!!
Thanks Barbara ☺
Well said, beautifully worded. . .
маэстро, я снимаю шляпу! такую работу сделать с нуля! невероятное мастерство и терпение! здоровья вашим рукам!❤
Thanks☺
Craftsman ship is excellent, and you made the lock key, my husband said you’ve got watch his channel, he can make anything, and he’s a woodworker also, thank you saving a all the JUNK !!!
The craftsmanship is beyond amazing. Personally, I would have liked knobs on the drawers. Maybe easy to open when the drawers are empty, but put anything in the drawer then not so easy.
Awesome
Dude..... That is just beautiful and masterful work.
Thanks Aaron :)
I really have no concept of how many hours you spent, just tacking in copper dowels. That piece is worthy of being in a king's palace. Very good work, takes a patient and meticulous mind.
Thanks very much :)
@@EpicUpCycling For sure- I’m a novice woodworker myself, only use hand tools and it takes the patience of a deity to not start throwing things.
i just have one word to say "IMPRESSIVE"
When a guy reads the comments, i cant help but to agree. This man is phenomenal. What technique and vision. I only hope that i can build one or maybe two items to this epic quality. Good stuff sir. Thank you
This is so neat! You really have to look closely to see the lines of the big bottom drawer, and I have to admit that at a casual glance I would think it was simply a treasure chest. The metalwork is the icing on the cake. It’s incredible that you could make this from pallets and scrap wood.
A recent conversion about how all the old crafts are dying because they are not being taught and I watch this one and just wow! Hand crafted chest, hinges and lock with key. ♥♥I am doing my best to expose my grandson to every aspect of hand building, forging, gardening and hunting. The Arts must survive and flourish.
Wow! God has blessed you with such talent! You are a genius , God bless .
Just when I think you can't get better........bang you make this.......excellent.
Thanks Richard :)
This dude makes masterpieces
I’m a French Canadian , I’m from Québec . I love restauring Wood .
Let me tell you , you are thé best !!!!
Thanks very much :)
This the type of chest that has epic loot in it.
The real treasure here is the level of craftmanship going into this project
That trunk is amazing. Also very beautiful. You are quite an artist. Thank you for no music in the main part of the video.
Thanks very much, Jan :)
When your little raft is drawn across the Sea of RUclipsry
by algorithmic currents of ingenuity and insanity
to the isle of infinite patience. Treasure.
Watching was total enjoyment!
Seriously good stuff and creative, Nice one!
Thanks Graham :)
I have a lot of thoughts on this project and this video. But more than anything it's very humbling to me. I'm pretty sure I could pull this piece off myself. The only problem is I'd have to quit my job and work on it with all of my focus for 2 years full time. You sir have incredible patience and attention to detail. Your skills are next level. Never seen anything quite like it. Excellent work 🙌
Thanks very much for the comments :)
fabricating your own lock, key, and hinges is such a huge flex. I'm amazed. And I also got way too excited when you pulled out the sheet of copper.
I am almost without speech! The most amazing and unique piece ever!!! Brilliant!!!!
Every single additional detail of this made me go just absolutely feral, it was a joy to watch, I'm delightedly looking forward to consuming your entire back catalogue.
Sir, if they told me that anyone was better than you among men I would not believe them. You are one of a kind! The attention to detail has me spellbound. I'm just smh like this guy is so so so skilled.
У вас золотые руки! Вы мастер от Бога! Лена. Украина-Киев
Thanks Lena :)
i'm unbelievably charmed by the fact that the hammer he uses while chiseling out the joints is mjolnir❤
This stuff is so amazing I can only watch so much because my brain starts to hurt. The detail is staggering. I think my head exploded when he made his own hinges.
Once again you deliver amazing craftsmanship. I end up talking to myself watching your vid, commenting as you go along. "Oh, time for the hinges, but as we've seen before, this man does not shy away from MAKING THEM FROM SCRATCH!"
Crikey, talk about taking a 'labour of love' to the next level, this is just amazing, well done Sir!
Thanks very much :)
seriously old school build....instead of a hole saw, he chisels a round hole, he's got some serious skills....its built to withstand the tests of time...its amazing
I like the juxtaposition of your meticulous making and fitting of parts, with the almost haphazard way you apply your finish. It amuses me every time!
I am always so totally blown away by the attention to detail that goes into each project for you, Jason. What an absolutely stunning piece of work this is. And have I said how much I love the keys? 💜
Thanks very much, Tracey ☺
I watched this entire video with my mouth open in astonishment. Sir, You can do anything. That chest is perfection! Wow
Thanks very much :)
I'm watching this video again, n I'm amazed at his superior craftsmanship. 👏 👏👏🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
I actually got depressed thinking there wasnt going to be any metal accents...then you bought out the copper sheet...my faith was restored haha...this is a great build that i've been looking forward to. Thanks for sharing this great creation Jason.
Thanks Michael :)
I was IN AWE watching this BEAUTIFUL CASE being built piece by piece.
I even got a little teary-eyed as it came to completion.
THIS, my friend, is a WORK OF ART !!!
I surely hope it is in a location where it can be seen...
I will be watching this video again !!
Sincerely,
BRUCE
Thanks Bruce ☺
Awsome job Sir. Totally disproving the saying "You can't make a silk purse out of a pigs ear" Thank you for sharing. Subscribed.
Thanks very much :)
This is by far the coolest thing I’ve ever seen! I would kill for this gorgeous box!!
I enjoyed every second of this. It made my heart sing. I loved it. I got such pleasure as a fellow crafter from his meticulousness- oh it was delightful- just when I thought he was done, he whips out an old copper water heater and makes the chest even better. Brilliant. I’m a big fan now. He had me at the dovetail joints…..
Great reclamation video. Shows how scrap or “trash” wood has potential to make something beautiful.
Thanks Paul ☺
You. Made. The lock. Sweet mercy these are so awesome.
Beautiful work, congratulations.
Thank you very much :)
Stunning as always. I wont repeat all the good things everyone else has said so well, but I really enjoyed the POV camera heading toward the bandsaw. Real treat.
Thanks very much :)
