  • I set myself a challenge to build a recycled, pallet wood chest using no nails, screws or glue, and all made using hand tools.
    This was a very rewarding project to make.

    You know, what you are actually doing is important not only to us followers of complex and interesting pieces of art and furniture. It is also important for generations to come in that you document and demonstrate old work prosesses and skills that often were lost after the industrial revolution. My father built boats, log cabins and houses and I learned so much from him, but you are on a level that very few artisans can match. Thank you for your sharing and teaching, Mr. Epic Upcycling. No one beside you, no one above. Summer greetings from Mette in Norway:)

    Seeing him working with the wood so relaxed and patient you realize why when God decided to come down like a human and have a job like other people, before starting teaching for love and forgiveness, He chose the profession of a carpenter.

    This friend of mine, he works with primitive and simple carpentry tools, but he produces luxurious, wonderful and authentic pieces of art. This gives us a clear indication that it is not important to have advanced equipment to produce professional work, but what is important is in the mind that works. I think this person practices his work with love and passion, thank you My friend, I am sending you greetings from my country, Saudi Arabia.❤️🌹

    Bringing back the good ol' days of how things were done before power tools! Real craftsmanship right there...I love woodworking and general tinkering, but don't have the space or budget for shop tools. It's not like I'm trying to mass produce, or on any time schedule to get a project done, and I rather enjoy the finer, by hand style of making something. It reconnects me to the past that way. Really dig your work.
