The Witcher's Wooden Alchemy Chest // Woodworking Build

- DIY build of a traditional hand cut joinery wooden chest inspired by the Witcher fantasy series.
I’m a huge fan of the Witcher series, so when I came across a reference to Geralt’s wooden alchemy/potion/travel chest, I knew I had to make it!
In Andrzej Sapkowski, The Last Wish, as Geralt is preparing to battle the Striga -
“The witcher returned to the dusty table at which he was preparing, calmly and meticulously. He knew he had plenty of time. The striga would not leave her crypt before midnight. On the table in front of him he had a small chest with metal fittings. He opened it. Inside, packed tightly in compartments lined with dried grass, stood small vials of dark glass. The witcher removed three."
If you’ve never heard of the Witcher series, basically it’s set in a medieval fantasy world, with your usual array of humans, elves, dwarves, magic and monsters.
Witcher’s, are professional monster hunters, who travel from village to village to solve monster related issues for money. This chest would be used to hold alchemy tools and potions and what not.

Great! Now I have a place for all those leather books NerdForge and Dark Horse Workshop taught me how to make.
Love nerdForge! Not heard of Dark Horse Workshop, new RUclipsr to check out!
I came here directly from nerdforge lmao
Cas Smith XD Nerdforge is awesome.
Nerdforge are to blame for my tome collection, Dark horse is for therapy.
I had never heard of nerdforge before but just the name had me clicking to find it so fast. thank you lol
I used to be able to do work like this, back before Diabetic Nephropathy stole the feeling in my hands and feet. Worse, I have over a hundred plastic models still in their factory sealed boxes that I can no longer build. You hit 70, you have all this neat stuff and mother nature steals your ability to do much of anything. I even have seven books half or more written that I am no longer able to complete. People, make the beautiful things while you can, because one day you will wake up to discover that you no longer have the dexterity to do so. Battle on!
Aside from the impressive carpentry, this video was beautifully shot. Great lighting and interesting angles. Well done!

I enjoy doing wood projects, but this makes me feel like the kid in the back row that eats crayons. Beautiful project and extraordinary video!
Crayons are tasty...
@@anonthe-third2367 agreed
I glued my ear to my shoulder!
They for sale

Those irregular oldschool-looking nails were like cherry on the cake.
You can buy nails like that at most woodworking supply stores or shops. Theyre called cut nails.
Dude you're shortchanging yourself not selling these. You could make thousands off these and more if you could do custom works you're amazing dude
Beautiful work and great carpentry. You can see the difference real craftmanship makes!
Very nice. I made a round top chest for my girl friend. I enjoy doing all the engraving with a router attachment on my dremel. I printout on paper my design then use clear packing tape across the whole design. then use a ball point pen and firmly trace it into the wood remove the paper and go over it in pencil to make it easier to see. I make my hinges out of wood. I even make wooden pad locks and keys, hasps, pegs instead of nails. In the end your project takes on a more primitive or rustic man handled look. I learned how to build a small foundry on RUclips and I'm messing around with making metal accessories for my projects. I'm finding that to be more challenging than I thought, any way that's a great chest. and the Witcher 3 The Wild Hunt is by far the best video game I've played. Happy and prosperous New Year
you should make more and sell them ,,especially now the series is out ,, fantastic workmanship btw.

I have watched your video about 5 times. It has given me so many ideas. Many thanks. From New Zealand the home of Rimu.
This is THE coolest build I've ever seen. This is freaking amazing.
Never thought I'd say this to a guy but nice box man! I'm a treasure hunter and I have a small version minus the etching for displaying my 156 silver coin treasure but now I think I'm gonna build one of these for my display and actual security toa point. Thanks for the vid man!
That is beautiful Rob! Well done on the workmanship and video as well!
Thanks Scott!
What impressed me most about this build is it's all reclaimed wood. You turned someone else's trash into a work of art.
This is a superb wood working book I`ve ever read, t.co/oLg9l5gL3F . Both novice and some skilled woodworker can gain a lot of general info using this reading material. I`ve been very amazed how frequently I use this to look up woods at places like to restore and salvage spots.?
It was a really cool video, the thing I most appreciate is you actually talkin and describing what you were doing and how you did it
this man is an artist
Love it! Leaving the dovetails longer is great because it shows of the skill that went into the build. Never stop creating!
So many nice handmade touches. The elliptical curve, the hand-fitted slats, the nails. I can see this becoming a family heirloom.
Absolutely awesome build - love the details, the joinery choices, and the old fashioned nails. Perfect!
I’m a self confessed RUclips junkie! This is a stunning piece of craftsmanship! So impressive. I’d love a little roman war chest for my son Roman’s baby memories. 👍🏻
AMAZING 🤯❤🧡💛💚💙💜💖
I made something like this for my son so he can put his toys in, I was planning to do it all by myself but I was already stressed out on all the details and the measurements that I just let my husband paint it I didn't even care what color he chose I just wanted to go to sleep 😂
I watched this entire thing with my mouth open in awe. The chest, the video, the man are all gorgeous. Thoroughly impressed.
Wow, amazing job on this build! Excellent use of traditional & modern woodworking techniques, plus great design & artwork!
This chest is freaking awesome!! You could easily sale these things by the dozens.
Очень красивый сундук! Молодец!
I used to write in the Futhark alphabet as a kid. Or rather a variation of my own creation as a code. I love the text on the face. "evil is evil lesser greater..." and although I couldn't read the last word from the video I can only assume it to be the famous quote from the novels..."Evil is evil, greater, lesser, middling, it makes no difference. The degree's arbitrary, the definition's blurred. If I'm to choose between one evil and another, I'd rather not choose at all."
Absolutely stunning!! You and Nerdforge need to do a collab!!
imari2305 omg yes that would be perfect
YES AND YES
I hope you signed it somewhere, an artist needs to sign their work and you truly are an artist. That box is amazing.
Thank you for recommending this, RUclips. New sub because that's just gorgeous!
Way too AWESOM, great job.
Be Proud!!!!👍👍👌👏👏
Who are the 63 down voting A holes? I can see nothing he did wrong! Very talented woodworker! Great job!
killi mimes probably just people who dislike out of jealousy.
The laser engraving was the way to go. Beautiful!
Oh wow, that's truly beautiful! You, sir, are a master craftsman :)
That is some really nice wood!! It's sad to think it almost ended up getting buried in garbage!
I haven't actually involved myself in anything "The Witcher" related, which i may have to rethink now, but I very much love this build and the craftsmanship you are capable of. This is reminiscent of the Hobbit/LOTR series or Skyrim/Oblivion theme which I am into. You just earned yourself a new subscriber and I can't wait to see what else you come up with.
Gotta be honest, that is bloody awesome! Just as awesome is seeing traditional joinery techniques, it's starting to become a lost art.
Awesome build! I was wondering if you could build a "Mimic" from the D&D world?
Huge Talent got this person ,congratulations youre inspiring me .
Whelp, i'm addicted - you've combined my two fave things in the world in this vid. Cheers from accross the Tasman cuz!
Wow that chest looks amazing
You do fantastic work! I cannot wait to see more content!!
This is breathtaking
Sir, you are a craftsman.
This is exactly what I want to do with my life, building unique intricate stuff like this, its a functional piece of art. Awesome job done.
Amazing .. I wish I had seen this when I was in highschool woods class... Of course that was way before You Tube :)
It never even occurred to me you could cut dovetails on a tablesaw like that!! Very nice!
So beautiful! I would like to say, though, that when using runes, you never use double letters, so for example the word "letters" you would write as "leters".
Why is that? :)
Pompous, aren't we?
Simmer down Hermione.
Why is that?
That’s a good piece of knowledge, thanks for that.
Nice beautiful piece with extreme patience
And that's why I need a laser cutter lol ^^
Awesome project! :D
I would pay good money for this. Great job
wicked build dude! Some awesome skill in the build and in the video production. Must have taken a while to do! I see you're putting your laser to good use. I'm still struggling to commit to getting one but I think I should just bite the bullet and do it haha.
Keep it up!
Cheers bro! yeah it took a fair bit of time. Yeah laser's are great, I say dooo it!
What a beautiful work of art. 👍😍👌
Gorgeous work!!
How is it possible that 197 people gave this video a thumbs down..??
Very impressive! I shall be back for more :)
Dude, that was super epic. You definitely got a sub!
Thanks man, I appreciate the comment, glad you enjoyed it!
@@FurtherFabrication what are the dimensions or plans measurements.please
@@FurtherFabrication simple dimensions would be awesome- I just was gifted a ton of cedar and would like to attempt
Gorgeous job.... pure witchcraft!!!
Awsom Build I've always had a thing for Steamer type trunks and this is just over the top with fictional element it is great. Will definatly try my hand at building one for myself. As I don't have an ingraver I will do the art work by hand
This is a phenomenal piece! Out of interest, how many hours do you recon you put in to it by the end?
Who are the 353 people who didn't like this? What's not to like about someone using traditional and modern skills to make something cool? I say great job!! From one craftsman to another. Cheers!!
If you can't forge your own steel handles, store bought is fine
The art of box making. It is so pleasing to watch.
YT: I'm going to suggest this video to you UNTIL YOU ACCEPT YOUR FATE AND WATCH IT!
Rimu! Very nice! Good work salvaging that timber in the first place!
"Hi RUclips, here's a way to make a cool witcher's chest. All you need is some wood, screws, glue, and your $3,000 laser cutting machine...Let's get started!"
It wont look the same but you make a stencil and get a wood burning tool (about 20$) you can do some similar designs
Neat....now inspired to put something like this together for my new grandson. Thanks.
I love this and I want to make one my self. all I need is the tools that I still do not have. By the way you made one big mistake ,never use nails in a piece of furniture that is made of wood always use either wooden pegs or wood screws because in furniture nails will at some point rip the wood apart and then it will have to be fixed or even that part taken out and replaced. Where as wooden pegs ( which are the best to use ) or wood screws ( only if you must use them ) will last a life time and beyond . So if you wish you can hand it down to your children when the time comes. Thank you for the video
Really? Nails have been used in furniture for thousands of years. You have no idea what you are talking about, nails do not rip wood apart. Hell you don't even have any tools so how can you know...???

I am a carpenter w/ 46 years experience. I use nails making furniture. nothing I have ever made needed repair due to construction even many years later.
Wow. From wood in a landfill to work of art. Good job.
And now where do we commission you for one of these?
Jesus Christ that thing is gorgeous.
What a thing of beauty.
I don't exactly understand the process but it sure is beautiful. Can't wait for the Witcher on Netflix, Dec. 20th, yaaay.
Duuuuude! This is beyond awesome! I want one! 😍
Still one of my favorite videos Tuesday can't wait to be able to have a workshop so that I can do this myself I've been wanting a Witcher chest forever
Beautiful piece of craftsmanship 👌🏼
One of the coolest builds I have ever seen anywhere.
Remarkable!
Well done,
Excellent work
Beautiful craftsmanship!
This is freaking amazing! My son is a huge fan of The Witcher, and I will be making him one of these for a gift. Thank you so much for sharing the artwork! And for documenting your process. Excellent work.
Really nice job! Congrats, Thanks for sharing.
Great work. That chest is pretty bad ass. A trick I sometimes use for silver screws is to dab a little cold gun blue on them. It gives them a nice color without any thickness.
So much talent. It's a great way to revive history and appreciate the older generations giftings by recreating with various materials. I love seeing the abilities others have to show in a creative productive way. The ability to make individual creations is talent that can help inspire others not just in making but appreciating history on a whole new level.
Outstanding !! I love the fact that you say "it wasn't perfect but it was close enough". Most people always try to make things perfect BUT the reality is something usually is just a little bit off. It proves that although you are a master craftsman, you are an honest person as well. Thanks for a fantastic video and a fabulous project. 👍🏼
Thanks, yeah you can waste a lot of time trying to chase perfection, knowing when to stop is the tricky bit haha
@@FurtherFabrication 👍🏼
I want to make one of these. Now I need to go out and get a laser CNC machine. :O I'd make mine pirate themed and without a drawer at the bottom. Like a treasure for my coin collection.
Great job , great look . You are a good presenter
Beautiful work my friend.
I really like the use of the tape to see as you work. Awesome watching your work with narration. Beautiful
That is really, really nice. If only i have the stuff to replicate that.
By far the greatest project ever shown on YT. Jason from Epic UpCycling comes close but omg, this was truly fantastic. I will definitely try this myself (minus the engravings, cos, unfortunately, I don't have a laser-cutter) Thanks for sharing this!
btw, liked and subbed ;-)
This is so sick. Hope to do my own when I have my shop set up.
If you have a drill press, I’d STRONGLY recommend a mortise chisel. I’m so glad I was told about this tool
Absolutely Fantastic !
I like that you shared your art. The build is great, but kindness is better!
Super props on this would love to buy one.
That wood with that finish is just beautiful
Actually beautiful
Very smart chest!!! Excellent!
WELL DONE FROM CALIFORNIA GREAT PROJECTS NOTED YOU FILLED THE BOX WITH SOME BOTTLES COBRA VENOM AND EYE OF NEWT AND MAYBE OTHER STUFF WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOUR FINAL DISPLAY. LOVE SOME OF THE REAL NICE VAMPIRE KILLING KITS
Great accomplishment, awesome talent, keep up the good work.
