Building a Tool Chest out of Scrap for an Antique Tool Collection
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 сер 2021
- A tool chest for antique tools. I was asked to make a tool chest to display a large collection of antique tools. It's made using materials from an old oak wardrobe, a pine chest of drawers and a mahogany desk. This has been a very complicated build, but it was a lot of fun.

I think that this is not only one of the most beautiful cabinets I’ve seen made to date but it’s functionality, design is pure art.
A Master Craftsman in cabinetry. What more can one say!
Thanks R J :)
You are an artist. There's nothing else to say!
I think this is my favourite video ever.
That was incredibly pleasant to watch...
not just perfect joiner, but extraordinary engineer
Studley would be impressed!
When the word "master craftsman" is applied to this gentleman's work, it is an understatement. I'm fascinated by his work.

Absolutely stunning piece of craftsmanship!Well Done!
Thanks very much :)
That is incredible! Loved the video, great work!
Thanks :)
wow. nice to see Keith watching this 😊
Absolutely incredible.
Not only am I envious of your skill, but I'm Pretty envious of your scrap pile...lol.
Great protect! When cutting the grove on the panel with the plower plane you have to start at the end of the piece and little by little work your way backwards towards your body. Will make your life much easier!
Surprising spatial ideas. Such a historic Transformers. As for the tools used, the workmanship is very precise. The whole thing is transferred to a different reality. In other climates. How different it is from today's rush, pace and sloppyness.
I really, really hope Adam Savage sees this video. I believe he would appreciate both your use of reclaimed materials as well as the stunning visual display you organized of these beautiful tools. Well done!
Watched it twice. Beautiful outcome.

You are a genius
It's the experience of your life.
Watching you work is so incredibly soothing, your approach is so exquisitely measured. You, Sir, are indeed a craftsman of the highest calibre.
Thanks very much :)
@D. H. Killian
Exactly.
Thanks for sharing. 😊
True, but I bet he can't ride a unicycle while juggling an egg whisk, a chainsaw and a ping-pong ball... blindfolded!!
Those japanese pull saws make all the difference. How did our western ancestors not figure out that push saws suck?
Couldn't agree morre
I love your videos.
No talk. The way you show us your work, to talk is totally unnecessary. Thank you for sharing your art with us. ❤❤
Thanks very much :)
Oh, my goodness! So many ideas! I like to work with cardboard. Thank so much
That peice in itself is a work of art!!!
If somebody has the right to use the word "epic" in their name, is this man.
That is the best toolbox I have ever seen in my 66 years
Everything about this video is AWESOME!
Oh My God! I'm speechless...
Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Henry O. Studley would be fascinated and delighted by your tool chest build!
Thanks. I've always been fascinated by his tool box :)
@@EpicUpCycling I have a framed poster of his tool chest in my workshop!
Precision, patience, mastery. The amount of thought and effort in this is stunning. You really have created an heirloom piece!
18:52 😊😊😊
🎉
Wow just wow some of the best carpentry I've seen on UA-cam.
Thank you for all your hard work, personally I would have that in the living room in display 😊
You should submit a picture to Lee Valley for the publicity for their tool catalog!! Incredibly beautiful. Thanks for sharing your work.
After watching this video a few times, I thought "why not give it a try?" When I came to my senses, and reality returned, I nailed shut the door to my workshop.
Your work is a marvel.
Best inventer for hanging tool cabinet ! Good luck !
Просто извращенец! В хорошем смысле этого слова.
Смотрю и тихо завидую ... 👍👏
Absolutely stunning piece of craftsmanship yet again!
I love watching your videos for several reasons :-
I get to see things done correctly.
The workmanshop is always top notch.
You don't have any annoying music playing in the background.
You tend to use hand tools aside from a basic saw table, planer and thicknesser.
You prove the old saying wrong, because you sir, can actually make a silk purse out of a sows ear !
Thanks very much :)
This is probably the nicest, well thought out comment on UA-cam. Thank you for expressing how most of us feel.

Master Piece from Real master craftsman.. RESPECT
Thanks :)
Oh Man! You are the greatest. A master craftsman. I am 64. If I was made of wood and came to you. You would make me look like a twenty year old. The bad news. If I win the lottery. I am moving next door to you. That way you can build everything I would like. May you live long and prosper Sir. I doff my cap to you.
Thanks very much for the comments :)
Magnificent work on a complicated piece using recycled wood to make a home for treasured old tool collection. Excellent!
Thanks very much, Thomas :)
Exquisite. The tidy freak in me can only sigh in admiration.
Absolutely brilliant design. Those old tools deserve a wonderful home like that. You will also know if anything is missing. Just don’t buy any more tools. 🤓
Fantastic as always! Thank you for sharing.
And if any get lost or broken, make sure to get an identical replacement.
Don't buy any more tools? But, but.. what's the point of living if you can't continue to collect tools!?
I think having the pins on the end is more traditional. It’s fine for what you did in this vid, but if you did a single dovetail on a 1X2 with tails out like that, it would act as a wedge and much more easily split? Maybe that’s the British traditional way of doing it?
Esther way, a beautiful amazing project!
All carpenters buy more tools, he’ll just build another fantastic case!👍🏻
It’s beautiful! A place for everything and everything in its place! Well done!
Thanks :)
Just WOW! I'd have to display that in the house. Stunning!
Absolutely outstanding,don’t know what else I can say that hasn’t already been said! A true heirloom for generations to come
😲 Oh... My father was a carpenter, and from him I grew a respect and love for woodworking and wonderful old tools that has been with me all my life. When I was living on my own and making my own money, I began to grow a collection of vintage tool like these. I always managed to find small, suitable boxes in which to keep them, and I used some of my old woodworking tools to make Appalachian dulcimers.
I've always loved those old tools... Alas, I have far fewer these days, than I'd like... Sadly I haven't the room, anymore. I still love the sight of them, though. I wanted to thank you for this build. It's been truly gratifying to watch a master at work. Thank you for having the respect for these fine old tools that you would take such a careful, thoughtful time building such a wonderful chest to house them. 💕
Definitely a labor of love, and a masterpiece of craftsmanship.
Thanks Paul :)
There was a time when this is how a journeyman carpenter would advertise himself. Back in the day (not so long ago actually) when someone wanted something built whether a house or some other project you knew how well the project would be completed by how kitted out the carpenter was and how well he took care of his tools. Most,if not all, Journeymen would have a similar in style "journey" case as they traveled around making their living in the wider world.
Very well curated collection you have.
I believe the case itself would have been of their own construction. It was the last step on becoming a journeyman, with the apprentice's master evaluating the workmanship to judge whether he was ready to leave his employ, since he was in effect, taking the Master's name and good standing with him.
George Lucas used the apprentice Jedi's building of their own lightsaber in a similar fashion, although they missed out the journeyman phase which I always thought was a shame. I quite liked the idea of lone Jedi roaming the out rim, brining “peace and justice” to the lawless, to paraphrase Obi wan and 2000AD, but
This man is a generational talent in woodworking
My dream tool chest, love carpentry, love antique tools.. great job!!
Thanks :)
i have seen all your videos and for my taste this chest is the MASTER-PEACE !!!
My mind is blown. That is incredible. That box contains everything you need to build just about anything.
Seeing other UA-cam so called carpenters in their clinical workshops filled with 100k+ worth of tools and knocking out furniture made out of MDF and plywood then you see a real master of the arts knocking up high quality furniture using the scrap these other builders probably throw away, antique tools and a chicken mushroom pot noodle. Amazing and inspiring work 🙌
Thanks Craig :)
A true master of his trade. In building wonderful things from scrap wood, this man is as good as My Mechanics in restoring things. Please Sir, consider taking on one or two apprentices. It would be a shame for generations to come if your knowledge, experience, skill and craftsmanship was lost.
Thanks for the comments, Toby :)
The most outstanding project imaginable. The chest reminds me of the Studley Chest on the New Yankee Workshop and Norm Abram. All of your projects are of jaw dropping excellence.
Thanks very much, Tony :)
Это просто произведение искусства, а не приспособление для хранения инструмента. Что инструмент ручной, что результаты работы - просто замечательно. И что самое интересное - Мастер всё делает без чертежей. Сегодня пришёл после ночной смены, поспал и решил расслабиться. Посмотрел работу. Спасибо за доставленное удовольствие.
Some embedded magnets in the door edges might help a lot with the ability to close. Congratulations on such a beautiful project.
You are truly gifted, wood is so lucky you found it.
Thanks :)
New to your channel, subscribed. I have to mention, I've never seen a woodworker use glue without wasting a good 60-70% . Til now,that is. That got my respect. Never saw the need to pour buckets of the stuff like they're shareholders in the glue company.
I loved how ceremoniously you used the tools that were to be stored in the building process as well! Outstanding work 😊
Thanks :)
Not stored, housed :)
A REAL craftsman!
Beautifully made tool chest. Thanks for sharing it with us. 😁👍🏻🇦🇺
Thanks Michael :)
An other piece of ....art.
Excellent..... amazing....work.
Your video's are so relaxing....!!!

Thanks Garry :)
S-P-E-T-T-A-C-O-L-O!
❤
Watching you work, admiring the skill and craftsmanship and design and ... just seeing someone CARE. Such an anodyne in these times!
Thank you!
Thanks David :)
I love everything about this video! The collection of tools, the design and display, the attention to detail, the incredible patience necessary and the fact it’s all made from recycled wood!! Excellent camera angles and thoughtful editing. Stellar job!! 👍👍
Thanks very much, Linda :)
WORK👏🏾OF👏🏾ART👏🏾!!!
I can almost smell the sawdust and stain when I watch your videos. You, Sir, are an extraordinary artist .
Thanks :)
People who dislike this just need a hug! Absolutely satisfying seeing your scraps become beautiful pieces of art, you sir are an amazing woodworking mad man,must be an honor to own so many old tools as well!
Thanks very much, Cody :)
I'm with you, This is pure art. How could anyone not like it. Beautiful.
I'm with all of you. This awesome man is amazing. Well built beautiful tool box. I'm very blown away on every video I watch.
At the very first video that i've watched i know this man is so good in what his doing..and after that video i go to his channel and watch every single one and as i expected i was amazed at his works..and there is one thing that i've seen in every video.."no one dislikes his videos man!"..all of his works in this channel was so damm good!..
This man is a legend!..
I'd like a little something extra with that hug ok...
I liked the video though.
I was a pretty good finish carpenter, and I've made a number of cabinets with dado & rabbet construction, I was really proud of them too. You just made me feel like a rookie, that tool chest is OFF THE HOOK!
Thanks :)
Anyone who could give this stunning design a thumbs down has never had the pleasure of hand planing a board with a sharp antique plane. The carpenters tool box used to be his best advertisement of true craftsmanship!
WOW! It's always a pleasure to watch a master at work! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks :)
What is amazing is how the image of the tools and the box itself do not clash at all, as if that toolbox existed for a long-long time and was passed on, looking exceptionally harmonious.
As usual I'm in awe with your work. I simply love it. It's inspirational to watch it.
Thanks very much :)
Gotta love how the Amish community makes these boxes without modern machines, simply wonderful workmanship that will last for many many years! I’d like to see a modern plastic toolbox after a decade compared with this piece of furniture. Thanks for showing us this, it’s wonderful!
See
Absolutely gorgeous! You Sir, are a true craftsmen. Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks :)
This is art.
Honestly Jason, I'm a bit speechless and awed. Purest definition of Epic, IMHO and welled up at the end! (old geezer stuff) Thanks for making my day and then some!
Thanks PJ, I always enjoy your comments :)
The tool chest is absolutely beautiful, as well as the tools.
Your very own ‘Studley’. Some nice work turning cast off wood into art. Keep the videos coming!
Thanks Dennis ☺
Many tools in a short places, funtastic
The design alone is remarkable-the layout of the tools to get them all in, in a unified fashion; the contrasting stain-just incredible. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are admirable. Beautiful and functional-true artistry.
Thanks :)
Observation(s): 1] craftsmanship: *great* 2] esthetics: *beautiful* 3] functionality: *spot on* (once it's in place) 4] mobility: difficult to move (w/o handles). This chest would sit nicely on top of a wheeled chest *of the same look* that is sectioned off inside for larger items, and with drawers for hardware etc (just a thought). If you ever named your builds, I think I'd name this one: *"puzzle"* ;) *Well done,* you did a great job for whomever receives this. *God bless.*
Thanks very much, Dan :)
Master Craftsman at work.
Maniac! so accurate and pretty, colour, form, should stay in museum. I'll never ever able to do something like this
WOW!!! 😯
This piece of art and history should be in a museum
thank you so much for showing me that outstanding work.
A place for everything and everything in its place.
What an amazing talent.
Beautiful !! 👍👍👍
An absolute dream of a Cabinet, you are a very talented craftsman. Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!!!!!
Thanks very much :)
It is incredible how much information you convey without saying a single word! Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship (as always)
Thanks Jim :)
Love the old school dovetails. I remember being taught to do them at school. Far more satisfyingly than machine made
What an extraordinary craftsman. Truely humbling . Well done sir .
Thanks Noel :)
this is truly a masterpiece
Just brilliant, and I too, like the gentle, relaxing background music. It's great to see you using the tools that will be stored in the chest. I have some similar tools that belonged to my grandfather (b.1880) and think of him when using them.
Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship
It’s so painful to watch someone do things the long, hard way. Yet so mesmerizing. Beautiful workmanship. Painful as it may be to see things done the hard way, don’t change. We need people like you to keep the old ways alive.
Thank you for sharing your videos. I can always count on enjoying another video from your collection. Please keep making them and look forward to seeing more. Thank you.
Thanks Dominic. More coming soon :)
Watched this again. Thank you for the respite.
Another truly stunning heirloom piece. I can only hope you have someone lucky enough to inherit your beautiful creations.
We're all here because your craftsmanship is amazing, but your aesthetic is so beautifully simple and elegant in an effortless way that is just so lovely.
Thanks very much :)
Нет слов!!! Эмоции ЗАШКАЛИВАЮТ!!!!💪💪💪💪👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍
Pure POETRY in wood!! So satisfying to watch your incredible work! 😍
Thanks Sandra :)
I'm not sure why the almighty algorithm recommended your channel last year, but it wasn't wrong. I like watching your videos. It unfortunately puts some unrealistic expectations in my head when I see my spouse acquire more tools for the house workshop.
С какой же любовью каждый инструмент уложен на своё место! Великолепная работа! БРАВО Мастеру!!!!!!!!!
