A Magical Wardrobe Inspired By Narnia. Made Out Of Pallets.

- Pallet wood furniture made out of nothing but recycled pallets. In this video I'm building a wardrobe, inspired by The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe Narnia story. The whole wardrobe is made from nothing but recycled pallets. Even the nails get used.
This piece of pallet wood furniture took about 6 weeks to complete, and used almost every scrap of lumber from the pile of pallets at the beginning of the video.

Fit for an ancient Byzantine emperor, made out of mossy pallet wood by a dude in a motocross jersey. The world is full of incredible people. Amazing job man.
Thanks Nathan :)
I see alot of "palette" projects, desks, benches, etc. Usually just a bunch of palette boards glued together and finished. All the intricate detail here hides the fact that it's made from palettes. Had one not known ahead of time, I wouldn't even had figured it was palettes. If this were a contest entry, I bet it would win... awesome build. Magical indeed... something Gandalf would use :)
Thanks John :)
Very nice piece! Great work!
@@rockypergin2216 Thanks :)
Simply a piece of art...
Love it...
Congrats!!!!!
@@rainerzitterbart2001 Thanks :)
This gentleman is why Public Schools should bring back “Wood Shop” into their curriculum! Bravo that was amazing! Popping out of the closet at the end was funny. IDK why but It reminded me of Dr Who’s TARDIS. 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks :)
Jane Doe Yes indeed. That and home economics as well. America has really dropped the ball on that. Now, everything is cheaply made overseas. It was so cool to break up the school day with shop, music, driver’s ed, and art classes. Glad I lived it.
In uk, public schools are for the rich! Plus we call it wood work.
@@gasgiant7122 I thought public schools are free while private schools are for rich 🤔
I actually teach high school construction/woodshop!
Your attention to detail is unparalleled, you are a true craftsman and artist. To simply refer to this as "Upcycling" is such an understatement. This is stunning and a true work of art!
Thanks very much :)
Every time you added another detail I thought, "MORE? REALLY?" because each piece was something else you had to plane down, but ultimately the end result was so worth it. Intricate, beautiful, and made with so much care.
Same here! I was like "what does he do next? what is this slim panel for, the sides? oooh it's for the crown!" Such a magnificent wardrobe
Right there with you
Felt like I was watching Bob Ross. "He's gotta be done now--oh wow that's even better!"
I'm a professional cabinet maker and have been so for 35 years. That was one of the most interesting builds I've seen considering it was made from pallets.
Thanks very much, Henry :)
Henry Mostert I was going to say the exact same thing but you’ve beaten me to it. And it’s not only that all the wood came from pallets! The carpentry shop I owned before I retired has machines that sped up production, like CNC machines. I can’t imagine how many hours it took in total from start to finish!! Impressive.
The fact it was "trash" wood makes it better.
I have often thought what a horrendous waste of wood pallets are, but to see this wonderful piece of furniture made from them warms my heart. Wish more people would upcycle like this!
Pallets are one of the most recycled products. I do work at a plant that repairs and sells pallets. They pay good money for used ones and business is booming.
@@patrickdurham8393 That’s really great to hear. I see stacks & stacks at our local railway yard just abandoned & rotting away. 👍👍
@@lynnew5619 It'll all be compost and new forest in a hundred years!
I recycle pallets Into all types of things.
@@NoTaboos please be super wary of what pallets you use for firewood: most of them are treated with the highly toxic chemical methyl bromide. You want pallets that are marked as "Heat treated".
10:10 is the point where I would take stock of how much time and effort I've put into this, and how much work is left to do, and say "Screw it, it's a headboard." Your patience and craftsmanship are inspiring.
Screw it, it's a headboard 🤣
The immense amount of energy we all have within each of us was never meant to destroy but to create.
This is a prime example.
Sir, you are a phenomenal woodworker.
This was one of the most enjoying videos I have seen in a long time.
Peace.
Thanks Jan :)
@jan russ. You are so right! peace!

Drakijy yup a numpty by name numpty by nature
Gods, whatever form you want to think of, have one real superpower: creation. And we humans, the only thing that matters is the amazing things our loving and forgiveness can create. In that perception, we all are gods.
I think I can hear the pallet rejoicing. They couldn't believe their luck. They thought they were at the end of their usefulness. And then you came along.
Good one, it occurred to me too. Like a fairy tale happy ending come real.
Haha
Y’all did he just recycle the nails too...that’s it my mind is completely blown for sure now. I’m hooked
Thanks Data :)
When I was apprenticed as a carpenter, light years ago the boss would have us streighten bent nails to reuse if we had no work in
On nous a toujours appris à détordre et réutiliser les vieux clous rouillés, ils tiennent bien mieux dans le bois que des neufs.
Well, now we know what the "Wardrobe" in the "Chronicles of Narnia" looks like! That is the most amazing creation in wood that I've ever seen and I'm 79 years old! Thank you for sharing your magical skills with us!
Actually, this is something that was from the show Game Of Thrones. The wardrobe in Chronicles of Narnia looked nothing like this
@@garrisondodd9253 Okay first of all that's literally not true. A single glance at the description would show that. But secondly, even if you were right, who cares! This person left a lovely comment and there's no need to correct her when she shows her appreciation.
I cannot believe this is real. I keep saying "NO WAY" really loudly, and "Get outta here!" This is incredible! I'm amazed.
Thanks James :)
I’ll never look at a pallet again in the same way . Unbelievable job sir
Thanks D B Cooper :)
Drop @&$^%×@× stuning a thousand? $10,000 wow dude!!
D.B Cooper, that is a Funny username.
I used to work making roofing slate. Because of the weight of the slate the pallets we used were made of oak and maple. Sometimes the boards were a foot wide. They were beautiful to look at just as they were. If the pallet got too damaged by a fork truck they were thrown away. I often tried to think of ways to reuse them but my wood working skills are pretty rudimentary, nothing like this guy. Imagine what he could do with foot wide oak and maple!
I work in manufacturing now and we are always getting huge pieces in on these giant high end pallets. I always look at them with envy. Mostly maple. Good wood. Not the junk of a standard pallet. But they get reused a billion times. Not allowed to take any. 😞
How about recycle and put the word out you have some. I'm sure you wouldn't have them long. And more beauty would find a way into this world. If we work together we can do anything.
I’m confident this guy could turn wide Maple into narrow Pine.
This is without a doubt the most impressive pallet upcycle I've ever seen. I was captivated the whole 20 minutes!
Hear Hear
Beautiful, I love how it gives wood a second chance. He even recycles the nails.
You are an artist and you deserve all my respect.
Thanks very much :)
i mean i kinda wish he'd've at least used rust remover on the nails, but that's just nitpicking at that point lol.
Really pretty incredible work.
The perfect joints. My OCD brain loves it when he fits the parts in so snug against each other.
Perfection is not optional.
The most impressive thing is that he did it all by himself. Assembling such a large piece of furniture single handedly is impressive
Totally agree. The quality is impressive but what I admire most is he just did the work. Got it done.
No he didn't. All professional maskins did it for him
@@annashealthylifeeverything8583 As well?
@@annashealthylifeeverything8583 what? 😄
"Planer Cam" was Epic all on it's own, lol 🤣😎
Grandmaster carpenter! Wow. Still trying fathom why 600+ people would down vote this. Unbelievable lack of appreciation.
Thanks Grant :)
@abc def that's deep.... like that wardrobe.
Those People would Boo Santa Clause :)
They're jealous. That's the point 😉
That’s not carpentry, that’s fine cabinetry making, ebanistería.
This is how they made it in the good old days, made for use and made for last year's to come, not like the crap there is made today.
Fantastic to see your skills.
Thanks Jesper :)
Yeah correct ☺☺
The fact that this was built from pallet wood is astounding!
It works out best if you use wood.
Woodworker? Carpenter? Cabinet maker? I don't think so. You're a freakin' magician! ❤
Agreed! The blend of subtractive and additive magic is sublime.
A joy to watch. You know someone’s on top of their game when they make hard things look easy.
Thanks Alastair :)
Making it look easy is the truest sign of a master.
One detail of the build that I truly appreciate, is your reuse of the nails. A former boss would not want me to save nuts and bolts that I had saved from a disassembly project. He then would go and purchase new fasteners of the same sizes.
Your artistic work goes without mention.
Thanks James. I love trying to reuse as much as possible :)
I'm absolutely speechless. What craftsmanship and most of all, patience.
Thanks :)
And time a lot of time👍
I'm shocked at how ugly pallets can be transformed into such a beautiful and magical piece of functional artfully crafted furniture. I'm not sure how many man hours went into creating this piece, but you certainly have set the bar for pallet recycling. Just gorgeous 😍 ❤️
Thanks Stefanie :)
Lol. Other people: I made a coffee table/bed/bench/etc out of recycled wooden pallets!
This guy: I made a magic Narnia wardrobe
Other people: Welp, imma gonna go now.....
When you remove the crud off the pallet pieces, it's just wood to work with. Nice piece.
Very well equipped shop with a man who knows how to use all the tools to their maximum capability especially the grey matter between his ears ! Well done sir.
Thanks very much, Rick :)
And to you sir... very well said!
Hahaha!!! EXACLY!
It wasn't the brain, nor the groin that was used, but the Heart and not the fart. Remember that son.
Final exam is, "here is 10 palets, make something." Lol awesome
I'm in absolute awe.
(Bows down)
"We're not worthy, we're not worthy..."
Thanks Amy :)
How do people not like this...this is magical just watching...maybe they don’t like cause he’s not walking us step by step on how to do it...either way I’m freaking amazed 💕
@@waseemmajid5734 NO
Trust me...right now with nothing but doom and gloom on the radio, tv, email, social media...every minute of the day...things like this put me at ease even if just a moment
It was done step by step. He didn't provide measurements. A smart person can come up with their own.
I still think there was more wood involved ... i dont see how he used the wood from those pallets to build that entire cabinet. That cabinet has a LOT of wood and the pallets were skimpy on wood
the music!!!!....lol..but i love the video...so skilled..awesome man lot of talent
Hi, it's really hard to believe that this wardrobe is made of pallets. It's beyond anyone expectations. You are not just a master but also a talented one of wood and design.
Thanks very much :)
@@EpicUpCycling I know the endless amount of compliments is probably taking up your inbox but if you see this, you're a beautiful human and I hope you're doing well. Amazing work.
Gift card was always the most exciting. I’m 67 now and just beat the Coronavirus. I watched this video and I am so inspired. When I get out of this bed, I will make something. You, sir, stir the most incredible creative juices anyone ever has. Thank you for enough inspiration to last the rest of my life. You truly have an incredible gift! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Elizabeth. Glad to hear you're recovering :)
Oh Elizabeth, that must have been horrific. God Bless you 🙏 and speedy recovery.
So glad you pulled through !! You go girl !!
Awesome💛. Pls put your video out, even if it is not as great as this, it will be sure to inspire♥️🙏🏼
Who in their right mind could give this a thumbs down?
True craftsmanship, fantastic build!
Thanks Chad :)
👍Your welcome friend, God bless
Probably from other wood workers who can't even make anything half this nice even with brand new materials. They're just haters and jealous probably.

Это не просто красиво! Шикарно! Это.... просто нет слов от восхищения!
Stunning workmanship.
That’s not carpentry, that’s art, with a bit of magic thrown in.
Thanks Newts Nest :)
Actually its woodworking. Carpentry is making houses.
Yes, of course!!!!
Wonderfull resyclin Art of a very high leval!!!!
Truer words were never spoken. Simply magnificent!!
I just about died when he straightened the old rusty nails to reuse them.. you are amazing, Sir!
Thanks Shirley :)
waste not, want not... make use of all available resources and save a few bob at the same time 😉
@@grandy2875 Well said :)
😂
Shirley Gelinas my grandfather used to same, he lived in a time with nail and hammer and going to the hardware wasn’t quick and fast like nowadays.
Stunningly beautiful. That was a lot of work. I couldn't begin to imagine how many hours work was put into this. But an absolute masterpiece is the result.
Thanks Barry :)
I cannot fathom the creative, engineering and mathematical talents/skills needed to create this magically beautiful wardrobe. 🤯 mind blown! Thank you for bringing us along for the ride.
Who said minimalism is a good idea???? Look at this beautiful maximalist art work! 😻😻😻😻
If ever there was a wardrobe to keep a copy of Jumanji in, then this is it.
Great idea, Jason :)
🤣🤣🤣🧻
I hear the drumbeat
I have always been impressed at how much of an improvement taking the surface off old wood and refinishing it makes, But you took it to a whole new level. You took wood that most people would think was utterly useless and made a masterpiece out of it. This is something truly special.
Thanks very much :)
This was 19 minutes and 40 seconds of pure delight. I love seeing an artist at work. The joy was both in the journey and the result. Thank you.
That's the masterpiece that anyone would probably eager to leave to his children as a legacy. Marvelous work!
I think one of the best features of this is that the front not only has the intended square pattern, but due to the grain direction change it also adds an almost ghosted diamond pattern.
Forethought, inset experiential extraordinaire.
after even further thought whats just as impressive as the passion and craftsmanship is the fact that your builds are flat packable and easy to dissamable and reassemble, the quality and thought is unbelievable, good job sir i feel inspired!
I totally agree with that statement
Amazing
That is beyond stunning. Anyone would be lucky to have a wardrobe half that stunning in their house!
First , this is a masterpiece !!! You are extremely talented !!! Second , it made me feel close to my Grandfather . He loved to do things like this as a challenge and for the fun of it . He has been gone for a long time . So thank you for the gift of his presence . 💖💖💖
Magnificent! “Yes,” said the Lord Digory, “Its inside is bigger than its outside.”
“Yes,” said Queen Lucy. “In our world too, a stable once had something inside it that was bigger than our whole world.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Chronicles of Narnia
I usually end woodworking videos feeling like if I owned the equipment I could accomplish the same thing.
I am in awe of the patience and precision involved in making this wardrobe. 🙌
As I said after watching your medieval sideboard I'm blown away again!!
My god that was amazing,THE BEST PALLET WOOD PROJECT EVER.......
Thanks Taz :)
I think the above "made out of nothing etc..." misses out that there was obvious mastery in skill and knowledge required to make this piece of furniture
Thanks :)
Right! And professional tools, too. 😑
And an entire factory of super expensive tools and machines.
you forgetting one thing.....knowledge is OK....but I disagree on skill.....he is using best technologies and tools to make it work....can he do the same thing with simple tools like, hammer and saw.....if yes then I would say has skills too
Really amazing job.
Wow, that shot going THROUGH THE PLANER at 1:13 was awesome and surprisingly scary. Love it.
I came to this video wondering "how epic could it be?" and now I see that the name fits. This is a wonderful piece of functional art. The big words fail me, so please accept the following compliments: "ooow", "aahhhh", and "wow".
Thanks very much :)
I would still be impressed if you had used top quality timber. This is a masterpiece & to actually use pallet wood is unbelievable when you see the finished item. Massive pat on the back sir.
Thanks very much :)
Then it wouldn't belong on an "upcycling" channel, no?
That was the best 20 mins I've ever spent on RUclips! Thank you for that.🙏
Thanks you :)
This is the most phenomenal, inspirational and beautiful thing that I’ve seen in a very long time. The creativity, the skill, the art involved in the entire process, what a joy to watch.
You’ve absolutely made my day and you’ve made me think about the fact that things don’t have to be what they seem to be at first glance. Those dingy old pallets, made into this gorgeous piece of artwork... mind blown.
I’ve seen many beautiful pieces of reclaimed pallet wood furniture before and admired them but what you’ve done here is really beyond compare. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent and the fruits of your labor that you clearly loved creating. Marvelous! 💗
Thanks very much :)
I've watched a ton of different RUclips channels dedicated to woodworking with pallets. I've watched the ones with millions of subscribers, ones with 50 subscribers, etc, but your work (I've been binge watching all day today 😅) absolutely takes the cake. You truly are a master craftsman. I started my woodworking journey just a couple of years ago during the pandemic, using primarily pallet wood and salvaged lumber. Your channel is the first one to truly ignite the fire within me to take pallet woodworking to new heights. Thank you for sharing your excellent crafting skills with us and inspiring others to learn and grow! ☺
Thanks Jon. I hope you manage to get as much enjoyment with your own salvaged lumber projects as I do :)
What a artist this man is, the craftsmanship is epic , makes me so happy to see people so passionate, thank you sir x. Amazing
Thank you, Lorraine :)
This should be a secret entrance to a hidden room, with easy to remove back panels, but still love this👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Harvey :)
IF I ever get a garage ... or a space to work ... that project has singularly inspired me to take up woodworking at some time in my life.
Randy Zeitman
Ha. It’s so cruel, watching this without having access to a proper workshop, isn’t it? Story of my life. So many creative ideas, but not the space or tools, to ever make them come true!
@@raraavis7782 At this point, with the space I have, all I can do is learn to cook better omelettes.
The song “it costs that much cause it takes me fu**ing hours” comes to mind!! God level woodwork! Truly a master of his craft
omg that is the most beautiful wardrobe I've ever seen, can't believe you've made it out from pallets. breathtaking!!
What a pleasure to see such fine craftsmanship.
Thanks Animal :)
Wow first of all the beauty of the closet, and the patience, and the accuracy, and all that wood taken from something that was thrown to waste, I work with recycled wood and I know how much work it takes, I really appreciate your creation and work, thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks for the comment, Yossi :)
ГОсподи, какая же красота! Какие золотые руки у мастера, и талант сумасшедший! Из палет, валяющихся под ногами, сделать такой шедевр! Боженька, помогай таким людям! Дай им возможность и средства делать своими руками такую красоту! Пусть им везёт во всем, что касается их ремесла! Побольше бы тех, кто умеет работать и головой, и руками...а то катимся уже совсем уж под откос с нынешними свинарно-базарными запросами...
This man can make some serious money if he's not already doing so.
Все ролики, которые просмотрел за последнии дни, произвели сильнейшее впечатление.
Руки мастера, идеи, инструмент, манера работы. Все выше всяческих похвал.
А сами изделия...... найду подходящий хвалебный эпитет, напишу.
Спасибо. Все супер
Thanks vey much :)
Regardless of the source of the wood, what you created is nothing short of astonishing. You are an artist and I'm absolutely in awe
To the 806 people who didn't like this....all I can say is jealousy is a sad monster... What an amazing thing of beauty created from junk timber....well done sir.
Thanks very much, Antony :)
I have no words!!!
Master... I bow!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
And everything without a domino-jointer, a nail-gun and pocket holes. Thank you for that! This is a project where you can see and feel the enormous amount of work. Nothing we see here couldn't be done by anyone, if they had the skill and time. And with even less tools. Table-saw, hand saw, battery drill and a router(table), as I see it. This is a super-relatable video. Superb!
Thanks for the comment, Nilshi :)
Except for the not-domino but biscuit (I stand corrected) jointer used on the very fist glue assembly shown... :P
@@BenKingEagles Do you possible mean the biscuit joiner, that can be had for 1/10 of what a domino joiner costs ?
@@jesperdahl1486 Yer right, I used the wrong name. My point was more humourous and nebulous as biscuits, dominos and dowels all perform roughly the same function. Saying "without a domino-jointer" but using a biscuit is.. well it's the same thing just cheaper.
@@BenKingEagles No not really, a biscuit joiner is purely for alignment as it adds no strength, whereas a domino is a form of loose tenon which DOES add strength.
Stunning.
An heirloom for the generations to follow.
Wow. So gorgeous! And that hardware too! **chef's kiss**
Also, so glad you included a clip of you exiting the wardrobe - anyone who builds a human-sized wardrobe & doesn't attempt to stand/hide in it at least once isn't doing it right XD
The Fawlty Towers factor.
After watching this I’m convinced you’re from another planet. Absolutely stunning. Such a talent.
Thanks ☺
Гениально. Сделать из отбросов такую красоту! Вы мастер "Золотые руки"! Благодарю за урок. С уважением Ольга.
Thanks Olga :)
I’d like to have just 1% of your talent...this is tremendously well-done. Thank you for putting it up!
Thanks Andrew :)
I’ve always believed in giving credit where credit is due...I’d love to try something like this but don’t have the space to try. And, I admit, the drive to achieve the finest detail that you have perfected. I’ll be subscribing to your channel...who knows, I might just learn something!
Definitely an awesome build but don’t cut yourself short. You possess the ability to do great things. If another human can do it then you can too, it’s just a matter of will, time, patience, and perseverance.
@@presmasterflash7555 and money / tools, obsiously!
When I see work like this, it makes me want to challenge myself to new heights and depths of skill. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks :)
This man has maximum talent. He's a magician!!
Thanks Sharon :)
Wow! Truly an incredible talent! I don’t think I could even DRAW a cabinet that detailed 😩
This is so interesting and great job, I love the fact that he recycled. Why would someone dislike such an inspiring video.
Thanks Rosseita :)
Wal-Mart and IKEA are very disappointed with this real carpenter.
Jealousy. Plain and simple
I don't think people really, truly understand how much damn effort goes into building anything out of pallet wood. I've made a few small things out of them before for my kids and to be blunt - I would never do it ever again just because of how much damn time it takes to get the wood ready to be used. So much effort... it's insane. A video can't do it justice.
It’s so beautiful! I could definitely expect Lucy to discover Narnia in there.
The "I'm blown away" feeling easily deems this a masterpiece. Absolutely stunning. I really enjoyed the video. Great job.
Thanks :)
@@EpicUpCycling You're welcome
I'm just over a min in and already this is the first time I have ever seen someone send a camera through the planer
I enjoyed making that shot :)
@@EpicUpCycling it enjoyed watching that and the rest of the video. Great job! Eventually I'll have a shop I can do this stuff in...it at least attempt it ^__^
Totally putting his audience into the experience. No detail overlooked. The Michelangelo of wood-working.
I know. That was Amazing!
1:10 Daredevil stunt.
It's a masterpiece! Your creativity with this project really came through and you still do all this with pallet wood, absolutely brilliant!
Thanks very much :)
Nothing but recycled timber and a few grand worth of tool. Insanely intricate though, wow!
I reckon it would come in under a grand, certainly under two, but a grand of what is the question?
What an absolutely gorgeous piece. Amazing that it started out as a pile of old pallets.
I just started with some basic woodworking like making a clock using only an MDF panel and a handheld router and some basic woodturning, but seeing this is just wow. I'll need years to get there, if I ever will. Amazing stuff you do with simple scrap wood and pallets. And especially the patience you show in the video, so relaxed. This is top craftmanship. I wanna see more so I subscribed to your channel, something I rarely do. Keep it up.
Thanks. More coming soon :)
This is by far the most beautiful pallet wood project I've ever seen! Wow! 👌
This is just magical. The patience and the artistry is out of this world.
Thanks Dilip :)
I'm always like "yeah I can do that" at 8 am but by 9 am I remember I'm lazy, dont have tools, and lack the creativity
Великолепная работа.
Браво Мастеру!!!
This wardrobe is a real Work of art. 👏
This is one of the most amazing up-cycling projects I’ve seen! So much detail….never has ‘measure twice cut once’ been more important. ☺️ How amazingly talented you are. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
