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.
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 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)
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.
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!
If I were a thief, I wouldn't break in to steal your money, jewelry or other valuables. I would leave with one single item and that would be that treasure chest. It is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful!
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!
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

This guy knows EVERYTHING!! Woodwork, metal work, glass work, he can make anything. A master of all trades & jack of none. I've watched many of his videos multiple times, just to try and learn a smidge of what he knows.
Много профессиональных работ видела по дереву, но это были именно профессиональные работы. А в этом видео работа художника и дизайнера. Даже материалы и инструменты у него свои. Спасибо, что вы показали волшебное искусство ручного изготовления не только по дереву, но и по металлу. Больше всего мне понравилось то, что вы это создаёте из вторичного сырья. Здоровья вам и новых вдохновений. Наташа.
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!
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!
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.
just recently discovered your channel. The amount of detail in your projects is amazing. And the fact that there is just you building stuff without trying to make a story around why you do it is just awesome.
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.
I just rewatched this video and it's cool to see the transformation of your shop. Your projects are always inspiring. Thank you for sharing your talent. God bless.
Esto es puro arte... estoy sin palabras suficientes para felicitar su grandiosos talentos. Que Dios continúe bendiciendolo con salud y paz, para que siga trabajando y así podremos seguir admirando su arte Mis respetos para usted y su arte.
Words alone can't express my admiration and awe at the skill and attention to detail here. This is just incredible to watch, absorb and be entertained all at the same time. Thank you so much.
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!!
Mind blowing levels of craftsmanship. I work with metal as a hobby and I know that hand-filing those thick pieces is long and tedious work. And the patience to add a thousand decorative rivets! Great video and a relaxing watch- much better than ones filled with noise and over-narration.
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.
Dear sir... it's allways simply breathtaking... thanks for sharing!!! Where did you get inspired??? These hidden chest is more then epic... Sorry, I named you god of palettes and rusty nails... You're godfather of palettes and rusty nails!!! Dear sir.... it's a honore and pleasure to look your videos.... Thank you for each one of them!!! Greetings from Germany.... with lot of respect.... 👍
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!
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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? 💜
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
I think the thing I like the most about your videos is the sense of wonder. I watch the videos with a "now how is he going to do that?" and it's like watching magic as it all comes together in the most delightful way.
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.
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.
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.
So beautiful. I'm in awe of your other skills in addition to woodworking. Fabricating your own lock and hinges? Astounding craftsmanship. I don't know if you sell any of the items you make, but I do know that people would pay handsomely for them....
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! 💜🛠
I hope he is teaching some our youth these skills . He is a true craftsman , I don't want to see these skills disappear in time . Once their gone their gone forever .
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…..
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'm a carpenter and love all of this stuff its a shame in my shed/workshop we don't have the space for larger projects. Great work!! Lock is superb & wood aging/staining process brilliant.
Absolutely stunning! What can I say? The amount of detail, the patience to build, the creativity. Amazing. Thanks a lot for sharing, this makes my day as it makes me believe their are more beatiful things than going to war, again.
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.
Wahoo! I am very excited to see your next creation, I haven’t even watched the video yet but I know it’s going to be great! Sorry if this is over the top but I don’t care, I love watching your content, thanks for making these videos!
Aha! So that’s what the intricate locking mechanism was for. What a beautiful chest! Love the finish, the copper detailing, and the picture frame moulding in the cutouts especially on the curved surface. Great job 👍
Totally blown away with the whole project. Details are flubless so professional, just WOW Awesome work. Jason said it all. What an absolute pleasure to watch. Thanks so much.
Absolutely epic. This is the next level! Love the detail. I also loved how good it looked before the copper and brass were applied. Those embellishments lifted it in their own way too. I wouldn't be surprised if you weren't secretly working on a Viking Longship made from pallet wood in your back garden. You know you want to! Very inspiring work.
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.
You, sir, are a truly gifted person. It's apparent that woodworking is a true passion of yours. The treasure chest is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your art with us.
For me it's the precision. Not cutting a piece of wood and sanding it to size but cutting a piece to the exact size is a demonstration of dedication all by itself. I wish I had a tenth of your talent. Amazing work x
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.

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.
You. Made. The lock. Sweet mercy these are so awesome.
From junk to funk, simply Awesome! Keep up the fantastic work! 👍👌

Thanks Virginia ☺
du très bon boulot, très bien fait, on voit bien le travail de perfection, bravo
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 :)

That was a joy to watch. Respect to you sir!
Dude..... That is just beautiful and masterful work.
Thanks Aaron :)
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.
You, sir, are a truly gifted person. It's apparent that woodworking is a true passion of yours. The treasure chest is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your art with us.
Thanks very much, Joy :)
It's a great job and a highly experienced professional teacher with precision and perfection, all respect
For me it's the precision. Not cutting a piece of wood and sanding it to size but cutting a piece to the exact size is a demonstration of dedication all by itself. I wish I had a tenth of your talent. Amazing work x
Thanks :)
Just when I think you can't get better........bang you make this.......excellent.
Thanks Richard :)
