The Craziest Thing I've Ever Made Out Of Pallets.

- I wanted somewhere to keep all of my power tools, and I've always wanted a phone box.
SOLUTION.
1: Get a great big pile of pallets.
2: Turn them into a phone box.
3: Keep all my power tools in it.
This is a replica of a 1930s K6 phone box, originally designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott.

![What's in the box?! 1890s Safe [Restoration]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/kugqGatwLDY/mqdefault.jpg)
So, to my untrained eye, I have just watched a cabinet maker, a glazier, a metal fabricator, a sculptor, a painter, a typographer and a videographer make the most astonishing tool box ever…. am I missing anyone?? Oh yes… a comedian 😂… who else checked their phone when the box rang half way through 🤣🤣? Seriously Jason, your skill, patience and talent seems to know no end. What a wonderful piece. Thank you as always for a fabulous video.
Thanks very much :)
I was about to leave the same comment, but you've said it all. Just... woah.
The level of detail was sublime.
Hearing the phone ring brought back memories - back to the days when I would always take a 2p to Brownies just in case I needed to call my mum for an early lift home 😂
@@NothingByHalves Ah those were the days!!
I checked my phone and it isn't even my ring tone. lol
Word for word, I couldn't have put it better myself.....
The creation of the box roof was an absolute marvel
I am certain that one day Jason will make a wooden football (soccer ball), just to show us he can.
The top of the box was absolutely stunning. So beautifully done, so painstaking and patiently... Words are inadequate.
Yeah, but can he build a stealth fighter out of pallet wood? (I'm not betting against him).
@@cv990a4 It would be foolhardy to bet against Jason, the Epic Upcycler.
I can just imagine how much fun he was when playing with blocks as a child.
THAT IS AN EXCELLENT REPLICA OF AN OLD RED BRITISH PHONE BOX FROM MY CHILDHOOD. IT IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. WELL DONE.🏆🏴🇬🇧
Thanks very much :)
I really love the way these videos are made.
No fast talk, no annoying youtube music, just the sound of nails being pulled out, shoes being dragged along the floor, tools making noise.
Perfect and relaxing to watch. 👌
I love it. 😁
Yeah to much hyper active content creators out there.
This chanel is relaxing and inspiring the same time. Probably watched all videos several times. First time with full attention, and later to fall asleep with some familiar nice noises.
Exactly!
With you 100%

Right!! 😊❤
To spend a day in the shop with this guy would be a gift.
A day ??? that would be weeks of real work to make such a beautiful piece of art.
He probably talk your ear off .
@@terryhayward7905 I could learn more in one day in his shop than I've learned up to this point. Like I said, a day would be a gift.
@@terryhayward7905 I'd learn more in that one day than I have up to this point. It would be a gift, like I said.
I am lost for words (cause I am from the Netherlands), so I can hardly describe how I am blown away by the skills you have in all those different disciplines. The patience until the roof was closed with all those tiny pieces. That fine “TELEFONE” letters cutting on the Lexan, fine sculpting for the Royal Coat Of Arms, and that both four times. And of course the Carpenter skills in general that made every single piece of wood fitting exactly and almost seamlessly to the next piece, and on difficult angles. Almost every action impressed me, because I have made just a few things myself and know what skills and talent you need to accomplish such a beautiful Telephone booth. You deserve a lot of respect, and not only from me 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. I subscribed immediately
I love there is no music, just the sounds of your work. You’re an artist.
Thanks :)
As an Englishman I would suggest this is not a genuine telephone box. No one has urinated in it.
On a more serious note. This is one of the best 45 minutes I have spent on YT. What a craftsman you are and what a slice of genius to come up with that idea.
Urine in a phone boot is note unique to the UK
I agree...it should have been Christened before it set sail.
Also it's not filled with unwanted books!
@@warlockcommandcenter so what?
Also needs about 20 coats of paint with no rubbing down in between, a few runs for good measure. Nice work.
That's not just a tool cupboard, it's a work of art; a true masterpiece of carpentry. I'm amazed by your skill, and I'm sure I speak for everyone watching this video.
I agree. A work of art. I would have put a phone in it and put in in my living room or den.
Up until you broke out the red paint I was envisioning a blue tardis. Your work and attention to detail is always an inspiration.
Thanks :)
Me too! I love it as a" toolbox" well done Sir!
Me too!
Blue paint would have made the inside appear much larger😜
me too :D
I genuinely think this video should be available on prescription for those of us suffering with mental health issues - you’ve given me 45 minutes off from anxiety and I can’t thank you enough - your work is incredible and a joy to watch
Thanks very much :)
THIS COMMENT MADE ME LAUGH BUT IS 100% CORRECT !!!!
@@EpicUpCyclingseems a shame to paint it.
Same here anxiety and panic attacks are no joke (aquariums with tropical fish are also
great therapy)
Tony from Rural Western Australia 🇦🇺🦘
The organization of his workshop is a work of art in itself.
Agreed!
Couldn't agree with you more...envyitis here.
I agree
I clicked this video not knowing what to expect. Suddenly 45 minutes went by and all I saw was mastery. I think the only word that can describe this accurately was "enthralling". What amazing work.
First the roof, then the door handle and when he started cutting out the lettering by hand I said to myself, "you've got to be kidding..."
What a talented man and an absolute pleasure to watch your many and varied skills. 👍👍👍
I knew this was to be an old British phone booth about 5 minutes in, which is really cool, but the best part is the time effort and sheer craftsmanship that went into it. This level of dedication and pride is sadly missing from the world today. If you're looking for true happiness and fulfillment from life, do everything like this, with this much care and pride. You won't achieve that for profit
I must be a bit slow, took me until 12:40…
Amazing craftmanship! Stunning and intense! Those tools and that telephone booth, along with that creativity and skill sure are "talking". Thanks for sharing!
At 70+ years old I’ve built and watched others build some very nice pieces in my time but this, this is epic. Nicely done!
Thanks very much.
@@EpicUpCycling yeah I'm at 70 years old , not into woodworking but this is surely "epic"....a masterpiece!
Very skilful what an expert at carpentry well done.
Your patience is on another level than the average person. Amazing project! Need to watch this twice, later when I have extra time. Thank you .
Thanks very much :)
An absolute masterpiece stunning outcome also somewhere to put your tools thanks for sharing your skills❤
Patience and attention to detail. Just when one scene finished showing something intricate like carving the royal crown, you realise he had just made four of them!,
The patience of a saint I'd say. I would like to know how many pieces went into this creation and how long it took complete.
At around the 12 minute mark, when the 4 corners were up, I thought, “what’s he making, a telephone box?” 😂 The dimensions just looked spot on. What a great watch that was. You Sir, are a craftsman, outstanding, simply outstanding. 🇬🇧
Thanks very much :)
Even though you aren’t doing tutorials, there is a lot of educational content to be had. These are never a disappointment, thank you always for sharing your space and exceptional talents.
I Love it when a TRUE Crafter Shows His work! And I was SO Mesmerized by the Roof Making. Total ART!
Excellent build. I would have thought that this phone booth was going to Buckingham for sure. However, you have the most intricate tool cabinet ever built. Again, great build from, Athens, Alabama. 🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨
Thanks very much 👍
Brilliantly, bonkers. Such an icon of my youth in the UK. I’m so glad they didn’t scrap the lot and have repurposed into storing defibrillators.
"Bonkers, but brilliant!" were my exact thoughts. Great minds think alike!... Or, fools seldom differ... I prefer to believe it's the former.
A new title for your u tube videoes ‘Turning scrap pallets into a fantastic carpentry workshop’ absolute brilliant 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙋♀️🇬🇧🎉
As someone who has spent time taking apart pallets I appreciate the work that went into obtaining that massive pile of nails from the pallets - even though you breezed by it, it's practically half the work lol.
One of my favourite videos on this platform. No fuss, chat or nonsense. Just a craftsman, getting things done. I am in awe of your patience and dedication to a project. The phone box also made me terribly homesick for London.
This is just the most interesting build I have ever watched! I am an 81 yr old woman who has loved art and crafting for most of my life. I am also married to a very gifted artist with just about any medium. So this is a much appreciated and engaging video for both of us. You, my fine fellow, are who we want to be like when we grow up!! 😄 much love and appreciation to you🤗👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks very much :)
That was a build on another level. Absolutely stunning show of craftmanship.
No laser cutter. No CNC router. Just 1 man at ease with his tools.
It's proof that you dont need expensive material to build a work of art. Just few tools,glue,skill,patience,a pleasant work shop and a big big dose of creativity.
Absolutely inspiring thankyou.
A LOT of glue!
A pleasant workshop because it's remarkably orderly and clean and appears to have all the tools a "master craftsman" requires, total envy but unfortunately I do not possess the skills to warrant one and I'd end up like Tony Immoi by missing most of my finger tips if I did!?!
A few tools?
A few tools... bro.... just no. I could do what he did too if i had a full wood workshop lol. Like come on. Go watch japanese carpenters. They do stuf with just a few tools and skill. Yeah this guy is good, but the tools are a massive help and motivater to work.
Also just watched some more and bro is using wood filler minutes in already. Lol clickbait city.
👌👌👌It's all been said by the other posters. Amazing..👍👍👍
These are the projects that one day, after you are long gone will be collected and shown off in art museums or private collections.
Such beautiful work and amazing job.
True.... deserves a much better place - museum, room in some (mc)mansion. Hoping it will be preserved (like we now keep 'antique' furniture) - together with the video.
I agree a master and artist. Definitely a collectable
WOW! Is there anything you can't make? You have the Skills of about 10 different trades.
That phone box is a real masterpiece. Sir, I SALUTE YOU.
Thanks very much :)
Thanks!
Thanks very much :)
Over the years I have watched you build some pretty fantastic projects but this rendition of the British phone booth sits at the top of my favorites list. Fantastic job.
Thanks very much :)
My 4 year old daughter and I just watched this. Amazing work! She guessed what it was before me haha. We visited London last year and she thought this was awesome.
I had to smile when I I saw/recognized what you wanted to do.
Oh my god, that is amazing, you cut the glass for all the windows, made the door handle, and the roof...... Wow. Always a joy to watch you work.
Thanks :)
I'm a Cabinet Maker and what an absolute pleasure it was to watch you at work, a true artist! A fantastic recreation and even down to the handle, which in my memory as a child on the original telephone box seemed so small for such a heavy door. I remember well the struggle to open those doors lol. We still have them around with the age of the cell phone they are sometimes used as local free libraries or even Defibrillator housing units.
And adhering to tradition, the defibrillators are getting vandalised just like the telephones were
And too think he made it from scrap pallets. That's a lot of craftsmanship right there.
Did anyone else say out loud "no way!" when Jason was putting the structure of the lid together? Jaw dropped, the man has the patience (and skill) of a saint.
@NickLM2008: Definitely. At first I thought that he would only add some pieces to the center to add stability, but the first piece of the second row made it clear that he had started with something else ...
My language was a bit more colourful, but I said it about 29 times during the video. Just remarkable 😮
Your projects always amaze me. You turn the proverbial sow's ear into a silk purse every time. Whenever I see a new video of yours has been posted, all other videos take a back seat until I've watched it. Thanks for the great content, keep on posting!
Brilliant work, plus the best workshop self made fitout, incredible. So much attention to detail, outstanding! Have watched twice.. 👍👏🌟💜🇦🇺
The kind of person we miss these days. The world will be in better hands. Way to go mate. We love your crafts!❤
Sir Giles Gilbert Scott may have learned how to design the red telephone box better if he had watched your video.
Your talent is truly remarkable.
Thanks :)
Woohoo, the Tardis. Well a modern one. Love you video, so relaxing. 🇦🇺
When you started building the dome I thought to myself 'no way'. Absolutely incredible doesn't even describe it.
No words !!! Simply marvelous!!! I dream of having a work space that is dry and that well equipped....Thanks for a fabulous video
I would like to hace 10% of the craftmanship and patience of this guy
As an ex BT man myself, I can say this is the cleanest and best maintained box seen in the UK for several decades. Hope no one vadalises it.😜. Great edit, skill and content on show as always Jason. Take care, have a good weekend.👍
Thanks Fred 👍
To recreate the genuine odour, he could have soaked the wood in piss for a few weeks 😂 but perhaps best not 👌
@@jody1skinobe314 With all the phone boxes gone, they are doing that in elevators now. 🤮
@@jody1skinobe314 that is so funny but seems so wrong
@@jody1skinobe314 Yes, but you need to reapply the p*ss monthly for a few years for the odour to go stale and truly linger.
Also, for the authentic EX BT phone box look, he needs to take a blow torch to the paint to make patches of it bubble off, then lightly scrape the worst of it before repainting it with the thickest paint he can find. After he's done that 15 to 20 times and it'll look just like an original 1930's box that was bought in the 1980's/90's when BT was selling loads of them off (And when Antony was busy getting his "Ology". :D).
You have to be the most patient person in the universe! You never cease to amaze me! 😮 I think this is my favorite so far! Your wife must love it when you appear with something new! She’s so lucky! God Bless you both and thank you for sharing!
WOW just WOW!!! Can't say any more. About halfway through I thought you were making a replica of the Dr. Who tardis until you painted it red LOL
I watch d my dad make some pretty epic stuff when he was here. I’m in awe and miss my dad. Thank you.
I do miss seeing these telephone boxes, brings back so many memories. Another great project thanks for that.
After it was completed, I was waiting for it to ring again. Sure enough, it did.
You, sir, are amazing!
Wow, just wow!! The talent you have is a gift. Thank you for sharing with all of us. You are A-maxing!!!
I can't believe I just watched you build that from scrap pallet wood. Incredible! Great craftsmanship.
Thanks :)
What can I say -out standing!!👍🇬🇧
Not only that, but he still has all his fingers ! What a talented craftsman.
Most other woodworking You-tubers find it necessary to demonstrate every aspect of the trade: sharpening tools, emptying out sawdust and all the rest of the not so glamorous tasks. You only show us the creative parts of the journey, and my are they creative! That includes the making of the videos themselves.
I have never seen anybody looking at a large pile of rusty nails with such satisfaction as you did in the beginning of this video ☺ We can clearly see that you love your mission- to create outstanding masterpieces from other people's refuse. So far I haven't seen you using one single ready-made detail, or using any old piece of furniture without first cutting it into boards. You make everything from scratch.

Gosh, I was just mesmerised watching you make an old phone box. Love watching art being made. And from pallets! 😂❤👍
Thanks 🙂♥️
If ever I find myself in need of a "TARDIS" I know where to look. Simply outstanding.
@ns1636
I searched for THIS comment!😊
I too, searched for this one!!!
I think you can safely say you have the most amazing tool cabinet in the world..beautiful craftsmanship.
Thanks :)
Being British born , I must say this an exceptional build of an iconic British (once ) every day site . Sadly very rare to find one outside London , I must say the paint is very close to Post Office red and as you probably know is surprisingly trademarked by Royal Mail . The British telephone went through many changes throughout it's life , starting off I believe in a green colour and rather heavier looking thank post war model's .
Sight.
Back in the day, weren't the post office and the telephones one organization, hence the same red?
@terranceparsons5185 Hi yes you are correct, before Red , the Post Office (and Royal Mail) vehicles were green .
My wife asked me what I was watching as I was sat here open mouthed. Truly epic work and video. Actually inspired me to get up and make a start on the footstool for my wife I’ve put off for the past year.
Bravo 👏🏻 I’m a 74 year old woman that just happened upon this video, I am stunned at your meticulous Mastery . Gobsmacked 💫
Thanks very much ❤🙂
You Sir, are amazing !! What a joy to watch a project come together. The phone ring was a nice touch!
No point in using the word “talented” towards your craft - it wouldn’t come close to describe your gift. Incredible work as always.
Thanks very much :)
The most creative, expert and unexpected uses for palettes I’ve ever seen.
Very very talented and inspiring, like the comment said, I wished I lived next door. The workshop wow,awesome every person's desire for one like that. 💯%🙏 Love & Respect from Rocklands, Mitchells Plain,South Africa
Thank you 🙏❤
Wowwwww !!!!! it's all hand made .. by ... mostly simple tools .. hand tools... piece by piece ... you 're an amazing craftsman ... not missing any details like door handle ... lettering .. ect.... Wowwwww !!!! I watched you worked.. from beginning to finish ... real admirable .... I would put that phone booth outside to let people appreciate your works... Respect...
Thanks very much :)
Absolutely astounding video! I almost cried when you started to paint the roof....... The whole thing is a piece of art in its self. Thank you so much for a wonderful piece of instructive entertainment.
This was a pure joy to watch. The attention to detail was magnificent. It is a shame that back in the 1950s, these telephone boxes received such terrible abuse. Many of them were used as urinals after the pubs closed at night, and most had the money boxes broken into for a few copper coins or phones ripped out by vandals.
Quando il lavoro riempie la vita di soddisfazione...
Un lavoro senza alienazione!
E tutto da materiali di recupero: un sogno!
Excellent craftsmanship and I appreciate that you weren't talking. You let the actions speak for themselves. That is rare and I much appreciate it.
Completely mesmerized…. What talent.
I have watched 100’s of woodworking videos on YT, but none have amazed me quite like this one. I applaud you Sir, your talent is a gift which appears to have no boundaries 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks very much :)
The level of patience and the skill you have is mind blowing!! Thank you for another inspirational video.
Thanks very much :)
Skipped right to the end: a British telephone box. Congrats. Skilfully executed and very convincing.
WOW that was so enjoyable to watch the skill of this man was mesmerising, that’s one telephone box that the vandals won’t get their hands on. Absolutely Fabulous work thank you enjoyed the video it was nice to be reminded of the TB when they first arrived on our streets. All shines new and beautiful. You’re a true craftsman sir.
Thanks very much :)
@@EpicUpCycling your very welcome sir fantastic job.
Thr ight tools for the right job with the right skills to use them and the creativity to come up with the idea in the first place! It was a pleasure to watch such a craftsman at work.
The silent craftsman!!! What a joy. Thanks and keep the projects coming.
Just when I think "wow that took a lot of time and patience!" you do four of them. Splendid WOW work.
I knew when you began to side slat the first door before that I thought maybe an outdoor shower unit. First class all it lacks is a certain Eau de toilet! 🤣
AMAZING SKILL. It would be so great if we could get young people involved with learning how to do work to this caliber. In Japan they consider such people national treasures. We should do likewise.
Outstanding project with 100 percent attention to detail
I actually watched the entire video. This was absolutely amazing! Thank you for sharing your skills with us. You are one of Gods chosen.
I have seen too many to mention very skilled craftsmen on RUclips. You, sir, are definitely the best ever. The phone box was a work of art.
Thanks very much :)
We ran across one of those phone booths in the highlands of Scotland in 2018. Of course our entire group stopped so my wife could have her picture taken. Darlington, South Carolina
He is truly amazing. I love watching his videos. At the end, I always wave back with a smile:} Thank You!
You are an artiste! You have seemingly mastered every style, design, construction, and finishing technique that I am flabbergasted…..no, gobsmacked! You deserve a medal for all your achievements over the last few years of your you tube channel adventures. No, wait! Maybe a knighthood! After all you did reconstruct a facimilie of the royal crest….and it looks super impressive!
I so wish you were nearby and needed an apprentice.
From far, far away in northwestern Ontario, Canada. KUDOS.😁
Thanks for your wonderful comments :)
A beautiful job for sure, but what I’m really impressed with is your shop. Every tool imaginable and a place to keep them all. And your cabinets! I’d love to go thru your drawers . . . 😮
Wow! What a craftsman! Beautiful!
Best K6 I've seen in decades. Rght down to the distinctive handle and crown. A pity they're long gone now. Iconic upcycling.
There are still a few about.
@@JoeBloggsRUclips True. There's a flower stand on the main road a couple of kilometres fro here. But as telephone boxes they no longer exist, except for the unaltered set of K-boxes in the British Museum.
@@tardismole there are some that are still phone boxes.
I've seen them in the small villages near me.
@@Mr_Jamin007 We lost our last one here in 2020. And it had sat there disconnected for at least five years before that. I've not even seen one of those newer silver monstrosities since 2013, either. We live in a moutainous area. Mobile signal is lost all the time here, so we used to rely on the public telephone in a crisis. Not any more. Glad you still have yours, though.
@@tardismole they probably can't keep up with the constant vandalisation of them.
Phone boxes are becoming very rare, the only ones near me are in the town centre and along the promenade.
Absolutely amazing. You are a true grandmaster. Thanks for the video
Absolutely wonderful, but am I the only one who would have liked to have seen it finished without the paint, just a nice wood finish?
I was thinking Tardis for most of it. A captivating watch. Well-done sir.
Thanks :)
That's freakin' awesome! So impressive! It's impeccable!
Second time I've watched this. This guy is so skilled a craftsman. Brilliant!
Omg, tears of joy for the massive amount of pleasure and satisfaction I received watching this (knowing how much more joy 1 man got for having an idea, planning, time to follow through, skill, and effort AND NO SHORTCUTS). Dear Lord, I pray that I'll get to experience this one day!
Master class woodworking at the highest level of skill. Plus your workshop is so well set up and everything you need have. I had to watch this video again twice. Thank you so much for letting the viewers marvel at your creation.
What supreme talent, patience and eye for detail. I love watching your work, it gives me a great sense of peace, yet green with envy as i would love a workshop like that... It has always been my desire for when I retire.... Alas I lost everything when my wife passed away.... Never mind who knows whats around the corner? Keep working your magic.
