... there are no words. This gentleman transformed what anyone else might view as trash into an item of beauty. With a bonkers degree of quality, too.
Steven King! The gentleman?
Agreed! Such precision and vision. I enjoyed Watching him work very much.
That’ll preach !!
Your comment reminds me of one of my ex-girlfriends
It was beautiful. And the video kept going, and it just got better and better. It’s crazy how beautiful that is…. I can’t imagine what it would cost.
As an upcycling woodworker myself, the quiet patience of bringing this idea to life impresses me as much as the skill and finished product. A lot of people don't understand how much patience it takes to bring a project like this together, especially when starting with what is essentially scrap material suitable for a Friday night bonfire. What a fantastic piece!
thanks very much, Gerry :)
And there is little chance that people watching this video will be able to appreciate this guy’s skill when he says absolutely nothing in explaining what he’s doing
@@patriciabajcer8930 I don't know. I am an incompetent wood worker. But this was an incredible feat of skill and patience my jaw dropped so many times. I don't know if I ahve ever sat and watched a video like this without looking away... I probably even appreciate all of it!
@Patricia Bajcer
Well, I thought it was an enjoyable and educational video, even satisfying as a woodworker myself, even without commentary (I bet people wouldnt like a long video with alot of talking would they?) There’s different types of documentary videos and “tutorials” ones. I bet you can ask questions and they’ll answer you. Otherwise, I honestly enjoyed it and appreciated all the skills shown whether or not there’s a “need” to know. Unless you want to use those “skills” at some point or right now? Haha. I wouldnt reveal my secrets either in some things or just speed work through everything. Time is precious.
@@EpicUpCycling Do you sell your creations?
As a woodworker who watches a lot of other woodworkers, I have to say you have shown the best skill by far. Doing it by hand aside, your jointery is on point good sir. You have my respect.
Thanks very much, Michael :)
You mean aside from the complete lack of supported/pinned joins, the amazingly poor saw discipline, and the complete lack of hearing protection at any point? You want to see real skill? Go watch some Japanese joiners. Ishitani Furniture is almost sublime in his products.
@@iatsd ah another hater just because you don't like his style of woodworking doesn't mean it doesn't deserve respect. He biscuited everything for indexing and then used dowels after the fact for reinforcement. If you don't find that to be an acceptable joint I don't know what you want. As for the safety aspect that has 0 to do with skill and I just re-watched the video and I saw nothing that jumped out to me as dangerous. Move on with your life and try to be happier.
@@nuttm3gg Ah, another fvckwit that can't cope with any criticism at all of something they happen to like so they dismiss it as a "hater".
I pity your fingers if you rewatched that and didn't see any of the sloppy arsed things he was doing around blades.
@@iatsd Do you feel better?
I suppose you hear this all the time, but you are a true artisan. Saving the planet and making it more beautiful at the same time! You are truly inspirational.
Thanks very much :)
My jaw actually dropped when you did the copper parts,, that is absolutely stunning!! Fantastic work!
I love how you took all these different materials from different objects and combined them into this masterpiece. Brilliant!
Thanks very much :)
I have watched endless restoration videos, cabinetry making videos, and videos where some really talented people have created some fantastic things, but this… this craftsman created something literally from nothing!! I was impressed with the creation of the panels from pallet wood, then I was really impressed with the method and detail of the drawers and trim and even the re use of the nails. THEN!!! The copper boiler came out!!! “No way” I said, “he’s not gonna…” I said, then…he DID!! Gob smacked. The patience and focus. I just… oh never mind, I gotta watch another video…
RIGHT!!!!!
@@gnome466 You nicely encapsulate my own thoughts. Thank you.
In all seriousness though, this video nicely illustrates what you can do with precious little if you have good ideas and the tools necessary to make those ideas a reality. Very nicely done. I just wish i had the tools and hte room to work on some of my ideas. I love working with wood - got that from my late grandfather I suppose.
@@EpicUpCycling This must've weighed 1000 lbs!
I don't know if I can praise this guy highly enough. He has the patience of Job, the vision of Leonardo De Vinci and the skill of Faberge. Simply superb.
Thank you for the comment :)
You said what I was trying to say only much more eloquently.
fossils fabe don’t know about that!
@@charliebowen5071 ;: ;>8
fossils fabe Could not agree more. With all the trim work on all those drawers...and then he starts with the copper work to boot! I felt my body aching as I WATCHED him do it. Can’t imagine doing it. That’s a lot of time, but boy is it gorgeous!
You can't imagine how much Wonder and joy is spread into the World by sharing these videos with us
Thank you very much, Richelle :)
Why can't he? You saying he's stupid?
Yes indeed :) Bless you!
Nice work by the way!!!!
@@victoriastevens3166 Thank you :)
@@TheTimeDetective42 Now, now, Charlie, only a very stupid person would think that, or especially write it down.
I'm 4 years late but you, Sir, are made a Masterpiece. You have the patience of many, many Saints which I admired so much watching this video. Even if I had the Skills you have, I just would not have the patience doing all those lovely decorations. I echo all the praise from 7,000 + previous comments.
Thanks very much :)
It’s a thing of beauty and the inner child within me is crying, “I want one!”.
I totally agree! I want one too!
What inner child? The fully grown adult within me wants one too 😂
My wicca self screams for I've been needing a box like this for my spices and herbs and crystal!
I immediately sent this video to my dad and said “suddenly I need an apothecary chest” so you are not alone. I’m trying to convince him to help me build one.
@@Betsyschugar awesome Dad if he agrees!
Gosh, so many times throughout the video I was thinking "ok, NOW he's done" and then he added something else! Just for flavor! In awe at the sheer skill of this lad.
Thank you :)
He's the Columbo of woodworking... "oh, just one more thing..."
@@mariusvanc , Your comment made me giggle.
I was the same. I thought "Yep... He's pretty much well done" and then he the dressing started. So much time put into that build. I don't think you can really quantify the true value of a craftsman.
Yeah haha, the little tiny wood studded accents… I was like, surely he’s not going to make like 30 of those right? And he did, after seeing how long it took to cut each one and then stain each one and set each one, mind blown when the copper started coming into the picture.
I’ve Been doing pallet furniture for over 30+ years and have never seen tis level of awe inspiring craftsmanship. Truly makes me feel like a beginner.
How do you find pallets that aren't destroyed?
@@jaek4489 all depends You can get them from some construcion sites cus they hardly ever return them like they are supposed to. I'd suggest asking and not just pilfering them though XD. You can get a lot of scrap wood this way also.
Me too
@@jaek4489 Friendly builder's merchant - they get two types of pallet. Some they have to send back, the rest they send to the tip, if someone doesn't take them away for them. Once you start looking for pallets you'll see them everywhere and so get into the routine of asking if you can have them. That way you get a variety of styles and woods.
@@jaek4489 Drive around industrial areas and ask, as well as big box loading areas, again just ask
Sir... that's it!!!
I'm totaly surprised... it looks phantastic.... and at all just the idea behind... amazing... making goods from trash!!!
Sir, godfather of palettes and rusty nails... thank you for sharing this brillant woodwork!!!
Have a nice weekend....
I am blown away. No fanfare or needless blabbering - just pure talent at work and so therapeutic to watch. 👏
I watch a lot of UA-cam and I see quite a few talented artists and craftspeople. Every now and again I stumble across someone with a rather unique combination of those talents. This fellow may well have them all beat.
Thank you :)
I agree! This chest is beautiful!
I'm a Home Improvement contractor, and I'm telling you, this man is dead on with his measurements and cutting ability. Making those drawers fit like that, there's no room for error. And it was great the way the face of them was finished. I was waiting for him to start cutting drawer fronts to attatch like a normal cabinet would have, but how inventive it is to just trim out the existing face like that? Great in it's simplicity. Another great idea.
Thanks for the comment :)
He spoiled what would have been a perfect cooler for a moonshine still - I mean the copper boiler with just the top end cut off.
@@a0flj0 I like his solution better!
Besides, here in the civilized world we have access to decent alcoholic drinks. We don't rely on home grown paint stripper. ;-)
Exactly! He makes it look so simple. And it really isn't.
If I was able to make something like this, it would be my masterpiece.
@@KMvrtr Yeah right. Because, at its origin, Jack Daniel's was anything but moonshine. Or the Italian Grappa, or the French Cognac.
On a side note, almost every countryside homestead, where I live, distills its own liquor. Not because it's cheaper - it isn't. Because it's better - you fully control the whole process, and decide what materials and what ingredients to use. With industrial products, you have no clue.
You are right, partially, about one thing, though. I do occasionally buy commercially available spirits - they work decently well for removing grease from parts to be painted.
Great lesson to all by using pallets and transform them into usable objects! 🎉
As an enthusiastic fan of upper-end steampunk items, I loved, loved, loved this piece! I also have an immense appreciation for artisans that can take the materials of their choosing and turn them into masterpieces. Sir, I wish I had a cedar chest that looked almost like this! I am in awe!
This is one of the most beautiful projects I've ever seen! I am completely floored by your skill and dedication, and that was before you even started the literal 1000+ copper rivets. It really goes to show you, high end materials help, but a masterpiece is truly a reflection of the artist.
Thanks very much :)
@@EpicUpCycling Amazing work. How best can an amateur learn ? Last time I did woodwork was at school.
@@Jackrobert28just get making and find wood working books
Go and watch the steam punk chandelier 😃
Love the fact that this guy has the most basic equipment no fancy Festool gear, and he can put together something like this. He is a genius. I tip my hat to you sir.
Thank you :)
I'm not sure what it's called but I would call the tool he used to make the joint holes fairly specialised and not basic
@@bjornthorgudmundsson2781 The biscuit jointer? About 100$ for a good one.
basic tools hardly.. planer, multi different saws that even if bought used run in the hundreds...This guy has invested thousands of dollars into his shop equipment. As well as he should with his talent and expertise. But hardly basic , he just didn't sit there and talk about what he was using in a step by step tutorial like other do.
ye just £20-25,000 worth of basic equipment, im sure my kids do it , so simple ......
Amazing! Such talent is rare!
Watching this actually made me cry. My dad was a brilliant carpenter and I’d have loved to show him this and talk with him about all your techniques. Made me miss him so much. It’s a skill I wish I had myself.
A beautiful piece of work. Anyone who doesn’t covet it should be locked up. The copper work alone was just sublime.
Thank you so much. I could smell the sawdust and glue and wood stain, and feel the shavings in my hand again.
Thanks very much for the comments :)
Holy crap I can't even get over your incredible talent! You aren't just an every day wood worker! You are an artist! For a woodworker to even know how to pull off steam punk proves as much! Man, I am soooo soooo glad UA-cam showed you in my recommended channels! Absolutely going to binge watch yours now.
Thank you Heather :)
Ditto!!!! That is incredible craftsmanship and I was totally mesmorized!!!!! I am a woodworker and consider myself to be more of an artist, but your talents are above the top. I can only hope to be as good as you!
This has got to be one of the coolest builds I've seen in a long time!
Thanks Joshua :)
Absolutely stunning work of art ! 🤩😍
I think a plainer is the coolest tool I've ever seen. Wood goes from trash to treasure with one pass. I want a shop with a miter saw, a plainer, and a lathe.
Working in a woodshop is the best!
And a table saw. You need a table saw.
And yeah, me too. I've been collecting tools for a couple years, in anticipation of acquiring a space and the free time to use them. Retirement goals. I'm 42. It'll be a while. Damn this wage slave existence.
Anyway, my next purchase will probably be a planer. Planers are magical.
I have everything but the planer. Goals! I even have the router. But planer is coming. Hopefully soon.
Love the use of 12 gauge shell bases as the drawer handles, great idea. Even the spent primers was a contrast that worked beautifully.
Now this is honest upcycling for once. Adding TRUE value to overlooked materials.
I thought maybe I could get through making the small, black pyramidion-like parts...maybe...but the process of installing a zillion copper rivets? No way I could get through it. Hats off to you; thats startling patience and another stunning build. Thanks for the vid!
Thanks :)
Your finished products are fantastic. The fact that you are creating these pieces of functional art out of old scrap pallets is just mind blowing. Kinda crazy .
Thanks John :)
Wow. Me clicking based on the title looking for project ideas and quickly realizing I was watching an honest-to-goodness Masterwork under creation by an Artist. 😳😳😲 I don’t think my jaw left the ground the whole video. Bravo, sir. Beautiful! 🥰
Thanks L G :)
Epic workmanship dude love that type of look up cycling at its best
Thanks very much :)
It must be one of the most beautiful pieces i've seen
I never get tired of watching people make stuff out of wood.
This guy is a legend someone needs to be his wood glue sponsor, EVO STICK get this sorted!
Thanks Patrick. Sponsorship by Evo Stick would be great :)
Красота просто невероятная, о таком сундучке можно только мечтать! Здоровья Вам, радости и благополучия Вашему дому! С уважением и искренним восхищением Вашими золотыми руками
Thanks :)
I was impressed with the wood working but when you started busting out your sheetmetal skills and with such straight rivet rows and spacing, that was the next level. Absolutely fantastic!
All the tools in this video are on my wish list. And the shop space. And the incredible craftsmanship skills. This was half an hour of pleasure watchin' it come together. Had I not seen it go from pallet slats to the finished table...I'd have difficulty believing it was re-purposed material. Thank you for this.
The master at work!! Good Job👍
Thanks :)
Amazing chest. I love those copper sheets, secured with rivets 😍
If I didn't watch you do it, there's no way I would believe that your beautiful chest was made of pallet wood. Well done sir!
Thanks :)
This was really impressive, to say the least. The final product looks so massive and refined. Knowing it is made with pallet wood makes it even better.
Thank you :)
Completely love that you’ve done this with a relatively simple set of tools and the video doesn’t just look like a Festool advertisement. Beautiful work
Thanks Clive :)
I like the double doors!
Please get a small mettle plate placed inside the lid, have your name, date and place where it was crafted. Your great-grand children will be glad you did. Same for the bed and wardrobe.
lynka lynka it doesn’t have to be a grandchild, but anyone who appreciates good craft would be pleased to honor the creator. 👍👌
That is an heirloom to be past down to many generations
I agree! Beautifully made woodwork. Craftsman are like an endangered species now :o

Anyone else feel so inspired to go out to the wood shop midway through this video?!
Dude, that was INSPIRING!!!
Thanks Andrew ☺
WoW! I commented 4 years ago. Where has the time gone?
I"m thinking of a steampunk boom box. There are plenty of plans for DIY boomboxes. Imagine copper pipe ports that leave the box then re-enter the box, and little pyramids and what-nots as used in the work on this channel.
Mein Bester, ich wünsche Dir einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr 2024 💥🍀🎆 viel Erfolg, Gesundheit, Glück und Freude am Leben 🍀🙏🖖😊
The end result is amazingly beautiful! 🥰
And it’s fascinating to watch the process to build it. So great to see those pallet scraps being put to good use.
Thanks Wendy :)
Can you imagine the beautiful furniture he has made his wife 🤗 my heaven's what a lucky lady !!! You do such beautiful and creative work ...
Thanks Deborah :)
Deborah, I was thinking that the whole time. I am amazed by the beauty he creates from scraps! My six yr old watches these with me and she loved the "Narnia" style wardrobe he created. She was probably thinking about how many dolls she could fit in it! Lol.
Such beautiful work.
I NEEEEEED ITTTTT!!! This is sooo cool!!!! I love copper and i love what you did with all this wood!
I built a 36 cupboard kitchen from pallet timber... that took some time. NOTHING compared to the time and detail that went into this. What a GREAT piece of work, it has all been said already i know but again credit is due to the commitment and love of the art. all the best looking forward to the next marvel.
Thank you Darryl :)
Craftmanship on a level I have never seen before, nor will I ever see. That was beautiful!!
Thanks Michael :)
Never understood the reason people exaggerate so much online lol but whatevs. Ever? Or will ever? Like its great but come on. When you exaggerate like that it invalidates your opinion
This really is the most detailed beautiful piece’s of art I’ve ever seen. The fact that it’s made of recycled materials put it on a whole other level.
Everything in your place is well organized and neat!! Congrats for the precious and wonderful projects you make!
Thanks :)
This is much better than watching a movie. A huge THANK YOU from Portugal.
Thanks Sandi :)
Just stumbled upon this video. This may be the best video I’ve seen on UA-cam. I do some woodwork and have built quite a few things over the years. This is expert level work. I’m truly humbled watching it. There’s a reason it has almost 5 million views!! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks very much, Brandon :)
More than wanting one, I’d love to have the skill to build one. I have always loved the feeling that comes only when you create something from what may look like nothing. Rather, not much. Congrats on finding a way to create.
Thanks Laura :)
Beautiful, just beautiful. You Sir, are a true craftsman, in every sense of the word. Thank you for sharing your multiple skills.
Thanks very much :)
Honestly though, if this guy sells his pieces, I can easily see them going for 5-10k. The amount of craftsmanship is astonishing!
Easily.
Ikr! These are one of a kind pieces.
If he used decent timber maybe. Seems a shame to put this much effort in with what is effectively firewood. A few thousand on decent hardwood and you'd have something that would last 100 years and more
@@Ghhyuttgg Er upcycling?
Bethlehem Eisenhour I think your missing the point. The price is commensurate with the skill and craftsmanship. This piece is $7,500.00 all day!
Absolutely Legendary, best craftsman ship I've ever seen. I'm a professional Carpenter, and I'm sure you make my work look like child's play.
Absolutely well done. Keep up the amazing content
Thanks Shafeeq :)
As a ‘traditional’ woodworker I kept thinking “where are the dovetails/ mortise and tenon joints?”; but your piece will hold together fine and is one of the most creative designs and uses of material that I have ever seen! Thank you for opening my eyes to the beauty and creative innovation of this genre.
Thanks Brian :)
I usually don’t use fancy joints unless they’re going to be on the exterior of a piece to be seen and celebrated. That stated, it doesn’t take that much longer to do finger joints on the frame of a drawer if you feel compelled, but unless you’re gonna store massively heavy objects in them, any extra strength those joints provide is overkill, particularly in drawers that size. I’d have been a fan of finger or dovetail joints on the corners of the box frame itself if not for being hidden under the corner elements. As built, this chest will be around long after we’re all gone and whoever owns it will surely treasure it.
My dad was a joiner and he does the fancy joints so I was looking for them too but if you're not going to see them there's no point. This is a beautiful unit, a real work of art I would be incredibly proud to own
Another beautiful piece of work by a pro👍👍👍🐶
This is simply outstanding. At every step of the process I was amazed at the skill, and the patience of a saint required to piece together this remarkable upcycled masterpiece. I can't even imagine how many hours, days it took to complete this piece of art. This is certainly something to be proud of and someone would be very lucky to own such a precious object. You should definitely have more subscribers based on the quality of this content!
Thanks very much :)
Incredible , a Master , especially the way he appears to make it look so easy , when it isn’t. Enjoyable to watch !
That's some excellent work! I love the "old and used" look you gave it with the stain and the beaten and scuffed copper strips. The brass casing drawer-pulls were neat as well.
Thanks very much :)
Wood artistry at its finest. You never cease to amaze with your work. ❤️
What a beautiful work of art!
Imagine an old original piece made without any power tools. Must've taking ages. Nice job.
Fascinating to watch, stunning to behold the finished piece. Incredible (amount of) work-- not to mention tearing all those pallets down to begin with. Wow.
Thanks :)
What s more interresting is your use for modest tools nails and recycled items with your artistic behaviour.Really thanks.
Thanks Otmani :)
Stunning ❤
The Master of wood !!! 💯
The only reason I'm subscribing is to learn how to make that in 29 minutes and 50 seconds...❤️ Beauty!

That is an amazing piece of work and the fact that it’s reutilized material is even more outstanding. This is a true labor of love. Lots of work involved and an absolutely stunning piece. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks :)
That is the most beautiful coffee table I've ever seen. You've been blessed with such a gift!
Thanks very much :)
Hello Jason!
I just can't wait for the next one of Your projects!
Hopefully soon?
I'm working on it. Hopefully not too long.
This has to be the ultimate example of recycling known to man. Wooden pallets and an old brass whatever it originally was were transformed into an absolute thing of beauty by a master craftsman and a few tools.
When you started punching holes in the metal my first thought was, “Surely he is not going to put a plug into every hole”, but by George that is exactly what you did. I was going to count the total number of holes, but I gave that task up halfway around the first one.
You are truly a gifted man.
I do have a question. When you complete a work of art like this, do you breathe a sigh of relief that it is finished, or do you feel a bit sad and almost a sense of loss that something you gave so much time, effort, and love can now stand alone and basically is no longer dependent on you?
Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
Thanks very much for the comments, Jean. The rivet count on this was 1110. Some things I'm sad to finish, but I definitely gave a sigh of relief when this one was done :)
I've never seen most of the machines. I guess it was too expensive for my country's college to purchase one. I would have loved to receive guidance from experts like him and having the right tools like these during my studies. It would have made the learning process more worthwhile. The end product was exquisite. Love it a lot.
Eric, you're a true master craftsman. It was a pleasure watching you create a masterpiece. Thank you for sharing.
As someone before me stated, the only addition should be a 'signature' stamp, logo, embossment, tag, whatever. The recipient of that gorgeous piece should be honored to know who the master was who created it. Again, thank you for sharing.
Thanks :)
This is my wife's favorite UA-cam wood working channel, hands down.
This design is very practical for a person like me. This would literally be my coffee and tea table and I would have it designed and set up as such. I would cut a small portion from the middle that would allow a portion to be raised from the middle. Enough room for a kettle. In the empty space would be cups and an electric kettle. I love that the drawers LOOK like they are all one size but the couple that open up to larger drawers makes me fuzzy inside.
I would have all my saucers, sugar, teas, coffees, and dried dairy products in this chest. I am really digging this design. I like when my mind goes wild when I see a furniture that appeals to me.
Thanks Ariel, glad you liked it :)
I’m obsessed with the old time apothecary aesthetic
My father was an amazing carpenter. He had creativity like non other. But this man is seriously a God. I can't even find the words to describe the level of genius required to create the beauty he has generously shared with us. If I could spend an hour just picking his brain would be the highlight of my life!!!!
Thanks very much :)
Here’s a man who wakes up every morning excited to get into his shop, excited to create. Thanks for sharing this, it was epic.
So many hours spent on planning, designing, preparing and creating an amazing piece of furniture full of details beautifully rendered - and you make it look like child's play! Your family and friends must be so proud of you!
Thank you :)
Шикарная работа! Смотреть было одно удовольствие! Браво мастеру! 🔥🔥👍👍👏👏
0:30 I've been woodworking for 40 years and it never occured to me to send clamped boards through the planer that way. If only I had some boards right now.
dzhellek
I thought that was clever too.
right? just for that this gets a thumbs up.
I'll be doing it from now on.
It's never occured to me to do that or to use opposed wedges as clamps for gluing up large slabs
It's the simple things that surprise you the most.
Fantastic 👏👍
This was one if the most beautiful projects I've ever seen come to life. I wish I had a tenth of your skill, and even a hundredth of your artistic eye to create such a stunning piece of woodwork; that is if it isn't wizardry 😁
Thanks :)
Keep On Making Sawdust! You'll get there. Craftsman such as this help me realize it's a set of processes step by step! Don't even worry about the drawers = )
Who cares if it's wizardry? Actually it is the wizardry of conscientiously skilled craftsmanship applied with a non-hurried attitude. My Dad used to say "take the time to do it right, or make the time to do it over."
I just watched a Masterclass. Unbelievable. Great work.
This guy is talented. I wonder if when he looks at a pile of skids does he see the finished product. Amazing it is ridiculous that there is 837 people that gave this video a thumbs down. They must shop at Ikea or live in a tent.
They're just jealous 😂😂
I try and think like, maybe their 2YO grabbed the phone and hit it by accident, my kid takes my phone and hits sub to weird stuff and makes jibberish comments by accident coz no one would ever dislike this process. Its impossible. such a great video.
hahahahahahaha like you said it!! 😂
A lot of woodworking people I know are weirdly against recycling wood. I don't understand why.
I bet he didn't spend his youth playing video games shooting things,l bet he was honing his craft from a young age!
Ordinary people see just firewood. This gentleman sees a lovely chest and builds it. Truly one of a kind, unique piece of furniture that looks very nice.
You sir, have a beautiful mind. This is a one of a kind masterpiece, it's so beautiful and I enjoyed every minute watching you build it.
I miss my dad, he could make things like this but he died so young and I never got to learn from him. Thank you for this video.
I hope you sign and date your work as someone some day will look at it and know who the good man was that built it with his hands. Everyone loves a signature and date.
Thanks very much :)
@@EpicUpCycling You deserve a lot of praise for this gorgeous piece built by a true creative craftsman.
That is a stunning piece of craftsmanship. I thought I did pretty good with the hardwood floor I made out of pallets, but now I see I have a very long way to go.
Speechless. I have no words. Usually I don't comment on things, but the whole process of this work - your work is phenomenal. Watching your craft is an experience and I am so glad I stumbled upon your channel!
Thanks ☺
The whole time I could only think, "there's someone who takes serious pride in their work."
Amazing. From a pile of, what most people call, trash to a treasure. Beautiful!
Thanks Debby :)
What a beautiful thing to see. In a world of buying more when it´s so utterly needless, it is an immense pleasure to see something old and discarded made into something new, useful and exceptionally pleasing to the eye. If this guy ever becomes a plastic surgeon, I´ll be the first in line!!
Epic UpCycling Indeed!!
THANK YOU.
Thanks very much, Lorien :)
It just goes to show it doesnt matter what bit of old rubbish you start out with, if you put a bit of love, though and skill into something it ends up being something wonderful and beautiful.
Outstanding craftsmanship from a high use of hand tools. Truly amazing, you created an heirloom piece you can pass along, all with your hands. I envy your wisdom, patience, and skill. Great job!
Thanks Thomas :)
