    In this video and every other one I have watched I say to myself ' yeah I can see what he is doing,' followed by ' now I have not got a clue', truly amazing detail and your own added touches, such as the old nails you cut down and used them as a kind of decorative dowell.

    Awesome. I love that you show how to break down in simple steps on how to do some joinery without all the talking.
    Also, awesome job at cutting straight lines with a jigsaw. I can't cut a straight line with a jigsaw to save my life.

      @@EpicUpCycling I saw your title about a very solid bench, that reminded me of a welding bench a driver/mechanic made in my dad's shop. The thing probably weighed nearly a thousand pounds, the vises would break before the bench would flip over. ;)

    This is what I aspire to be and possibly build. I have a purpose built bench but it’s against the wall and a bit high (had is installed for arts & crafts not wood work😂). I’m always blown away by this guys attention to detail and recycling habit, it’s great. I can just about put a nail in straight, although I have made a few things now. Slowly building up my confidence, but i can’t get my head around starting to use my chop saw, still in the box, even the pictures on the side scare me (a pressie from my hubby last xmas). I’m watching Epics videos slowly building up my courage. Can’t even join Men in Sheds to learn, as I’m a female😢, so wood working channels are my go to. Thanks for sharing.

  • @mjremy2605
    @mjremy2605 Рік тому +1

    What impressed me the most in this impressive build are the little used bottle cap drawer pulls.
    You took washers, ground them down to size using a lathe so they are perfectly round and exactly the size needed to fit into the caps. Then the plastic washer to flatten out the dented center, then tapping the assembly down into a cylinder to make the crimped edges perfectly round again. Whole assembly in stainless steel so it all works perfectly for the right thickness of the drawer front. Simply outstanding.
    The rusty nails being used as a design effect was also genius. It looks like metal pins in there. Beautiful.
    Jason, your work just blows my mind. The level of conceptualizing, measuring so accurately, aesthetic realization, and the creative process of solutions like those bottle caps. Very impressed by your creativity, the size of your projects, and the precision and patience to make it come to life. Well done, sir!
    fyi - The rusty nails though, I would dip them in Loctite Rust Neutralizer, dry, then hammer in. It will bond the rust to metal and leave a thin coat to prevent further rusting. Else over time that will streak the wood.

    With your work, you have brought back so many wonderful childhood memories. Like yourself, my grandfather was a very crafty man, he built his own workbench, and when he moved his worship to a larger space, I helped him to disassemble the mammoth thing and re-assemble back all again. It took us about 3 days to do the job, and it was hard (especially when I was only about 13 years of age), but in the process, I learned so much about wood, design, construction, tenacity, and self-pride. How proud you must be to have made your own furniture. I envy you. A great pleasure to watch you work. Thank you for the opportunity. Cheers

    An excellent project. A lot of care and effort here in giving those bits and pieces a new life in your shop. One suggestion: find a decent used or new circular saw to use in place of that jig saw for long cuts. You’ll find it is quicker and with the use of a guide, much more accurate. I really liked the reuse of those bottle caps. A cool look.

    I’m usually not a fan of dark stains, but the contrast of the frames and the drawers in your work is absolutely stunning. I also enjoy recognizing your work in the background of your workshop. You are an absolute genius with reclaimed wood.

    The only mystery to me is how there could be only 209k subscribers to this channel and 15k likes on this video after 863k views, something is wrong with over half a million people. Outstanding content and delightful to watch the inventive ways you work the project. Subscribed and waiting for the next treat.

    From start to finish, a joy to watch.
