I'm always amazed that you can take materials others would throw out and turn them into something so beautiful. I envy the person who gets to own this.

[@stevenelson1914]

Its amazing isn't it? This guy is actually responsible for my journey into wood working.

[@01Sayko]

@@stevenelson1914 and we will support you too, if I had a garage I would do the same🍷

[@mandyleeson1]

Me too!

[@AnnaInSweden]

Then you should envy Jason himself, I believe he owns them!

[@vincentlee7359]

People throw away human bodies every year and i know a guy that uses their skin and bones to make furniture. He's sort of like this guy reusing things to make something new

[@mariesoucy4802]

what can I say any comment that I have as already been said by all the other commenters. Watching you brings my dad back, he was brilliant as your self and it brings a smile across my heart and soul. I love watching your talent and patience come to life. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks for the wonderful comment, Marie :)

[@mariannedeangelo2319]

Your steampunk apothecary trunk was always my favorite, but I must say this one ranks right up there. Your attention to detail, use of hand tools, patience unlike anything I’ve ever seen is more than just a gift. There are no words. Thanks so much for posting. Watching your videos is how I unwind.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much for the comments, Marianne :)

[@larsfrandsen2501]

Totally agree!

[@stevenholden9520]

Who else could change pallet ID stamps into a beautiful piece of art - no one but the Master! Brilliant and inspirational.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much, Steven :)

[@seattlematt]

have a meeting in an hour I was going to prep for and then this drops... meeting? what meeting.

[@morishidol4209]

What meeting?

[@scottperine8027]

Me too 🤣🤣🤣

[@sandravukovic2901]

My first "job" in my grandfather's workshop was to straighten the old rusty nails with a hammer, so that grandpa can use them again. I felt so proud and included, even with blue fingers. Even now, about fourty years later, the biggest passion I have is woodworking. Maybe because his answer was never "no, you are too young" but rather "sure, but let me first show you how to do it safely." You and your projects, and your workshop and attention to detail remind me of those times with him. ❤️

[@hazmania]

You’ve done it again (of course)! And so I have to repeat myself (‘cos I’ve run out of more eloquent words of awe, admiration & appreciation): Tip top tidy and minty top bananas! Thank you! 🙂🌸

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much :)

[@fatroberto3012]

EPIC MMXXII indeed. I just love the absolute madness of drilling and hammering in 300 decorative nails then securing the panels with glue and pins.

[@emmasheppard2639]

Whoever ends up owning this, they're super lucky. Your talent is out of this world.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much :)

[@kimsollosy7978]

Wow. You are so talented....and patient. Wonderful! Nice to see the smile and wave at the end!!

[@diego64079]

Who said that second chances are not good? whenever there is sincere love, precious things like this are achieved. Thank you, quite an art-sane

[@adamhoffoss5768]

Not only is it fascinating to watch, but I find it equally as entertaining trying to figure out why you're putting specific pieces of wood where you are and how it works into the final product.

[@Ginger51]

Finally found a decent program to watch! 😊

[@roybolster-coates1866]

My Friday evening just improved a 100%, getting my beer now too!

[@MrDottorzeta]

I have no words. You make me happy every time.

[@winterlorraine1545]

A creation anyone would love to have in their home. a lot of hard work and dedication

[@333111444333111444]

This is probably the coolest book shelf I have ever seen

[@HoneyHollowHomestead]

At first I didn't think I was going to like this project. I should have known better. Anything you do is a work of art!

[@davidcornell9167]

Well, you really had to patch this one together! Another wonderful job. Thanks as usual.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks David :)

[@janicegreen4724]

I am always captivated by your videos thinking "Where is he going with that" then boom, it all comes together and is beautiful. Well done!!

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much :)

[@gaz740]

Another stunning piece Jason. Fantastic.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks Gaz :)

[@70athens]

it goes without saying that you do an amazing job but i think some ppl might gloss over that you made pilot holes for all the front shelf nails (must have been over 200) and you did it with a hand drill, the paitence of a Buddhist priest. Much respect !

[@teddyenriquez3429]

Cheers. He is an artist who turns discarded and ordinary materials into beautiful and functional woodworking diy projects.

[@brendaowens2466]

Wow! What a work of magnificent wonder. Every time I see you work, you keep getting better and better. If I had money, your stuff would be all over my house.

[@astridgarcia888]

Wow ! If I were living near you I would buy it with your permission! I love it!

[@Momoka7]

This looks visually very stimulating! Some people might find it visually to busy, but I like it!

[@clarkg9805]

A man of very few words, but who's workmanship is endless. Thank you for sharing and inspiring us to do better.

[@EpicUpCycling]

You're very welcome. Thanks for the comments :)

[@Oh6Torch]

Proof that something may not be “your thing“ but can still be very beautiful. Bravo!

[@gedreillyhomestead6926]

Your skill and patience in building these items Jason are truly amazing. The most aptly named channel in KZbin land. 🤓 👍

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much :)

[@yeagerxp]

Beautiful rustic creation👍👍👍 . Thank you for sharing. Be safe🇨🇦

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much :)

[@JeffStoner]

When you first stood up the frame (before starting on the shelves) it looked like a magical doorway to another world. Awesome build!

[@EpicUpCycling]

Yes, for a moment I did consider turning it into a door frame :)

[@raymondmenard5444]

I had the same thought going through my mind watching him raising ''The portal'' lol

[@CBeccamakestuff]

Totally my thought too. It would an awesome doorframe to a secret room…. Would be a really cool bookcase door concept 🤔

[@kerstin4516]

When my husband one day wants to throw out all the "useless" things I collected so far, I will show him this video. Your ideas are very motivating and your skills and patience are great!

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks Kerstin :)

[@veeleighkay]

I love that you show the challenges and patience it takes to build something. So many channels make everything look effortless but then viewers try it themselves and get discouraged when it's harder than they thought it was going to be. I watch your videos and feel inspired but with more complete knowledge. Thank you for sharing your creativity and resourcefulness with us.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much for the comments :)

[@celestialscripture]

You continue to amaze. Very alchemical. Nice work!

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks :)

[@IAMSatisfied]

Awesome workmanship... I love your brand logo at the end. Thanks for sharing!

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks :)

[@eslea]

Value of the bookcase: unknown. Value of the smile and wave: priceless.

[@01Sayko]

This is the definition of Passion, you take something that others consider crap and not only you recycling it but you give life by transforming it into a masterpiece. 🍷Respect 🎩

[@slartythecyclops4643]

Yet again you show the world how to make heart-rendingly beautiful furniture from old tat. Thank you once again for sharing good Sir.

[@A.KUDYBA]

Your works are simply extraordinary! Finally, I found a person who gives a second life to wooden materials!!!

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much :)

[@nikburton9264]

Beautiful work, Sir. What I expect when I get notified you posted. You didn't disappoint.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much, Nik :)

[@swirlgalaxy]

Howdy Jason!! A triumph, a total triumph!! Your skills never cease to amaze me!!!

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much, Ken :)

[@saggioculo5386]

I really love this one. Bravo!

[@Rubysud]

Wonderful!!!!! you are a genius, an inspiration for those of us who love working with wood. Thank you for showing us the perfection of your work.

[@EpicUpCycling]

You're welcome. Thanks for the comments :)

[@spottedhoss1920]

Hi Jason, That is a very unique idea I have never seen anything even close to that, and as usual I really love the workmanship, Fantastic job Jason thanks for the video see you on the next one.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much, Floyd. Hoping to get another one done soon :)

[@briancoleman9314]

That's amazing I never would have imagined to use a bit of scrap metal in with the building or something like that

[@robinellis4341]

I have no idea how many days work was condensed into the video, but whatever it looks amazing. Creativity at it;s finest, well done Jason. 👏

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much :)

[@gemmacakebread1521]

Another great build Jason thanks! Nice touch at the end with your own epic pallet stamp 👌

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much, Gemma :)

[@jesper1406]

Oh yeah, this is also one of my favorites among your work! You transition into art, and make the scrap itself into the attraction of this very sturdy construction, vs masking the pallet wood as more exotic, expensive wood. One of the processes I like best, is your glue ups. All your panels are made in such an effortlessly effective and simple way. It is truly Epic Upcycling. Thank you...

[@jenniferturner2512]

Absolutely stunning ❤

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks :)

[@MADZIA0606]

*Great job. Ingenuity and creativity as always at the highest level* 👏😊

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much :)

[@tinydancer7426]

The patchwork is beautiful. Beyond that, I am speechless.

[@empace5344]

So much detail & purpose in your work. Great job

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks :)

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

So great. I bet it is even better in person. Looks amazing!

[@ricardoabreu4153]

Pure magic. Nobody else can turn pallet wood into such lovely pieces of furniture. Congratulations on your time, patience and willingness to show how you do your magic.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much, Ricardo :)

[@user-py6yt1hz1j]

Absolutely fantastic I love it, here's me making boxes and bird houses from pallets and thinking im recycling 😂

[@erikleorga]

Friday night after a brutal work week, having the chance to see a master at work. Awesome.

[@woocashwombat3897]

Amazing, Jason! So simple and yet so not simple. Definitely one of my favourites so far.

[@davestinyworkshop]

This is so beautiful, it could easily hold its own in an art exhibition!

[@marcosmagic1983]

So jealous of these videos & these guys using a stand alone planer, just starting out myself really but it’s clear to see the absolute necessity a planer has when recycling wood for new projects, cannot get enough of this guys videos though a master at work a master in his element 👌

[@sandman2651]

As always a brilliant build, very different looking but amazing to look at

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much :)

[@timothydalton90]

The idea with this old metal sheet pieces is beautiful!

[@ionawoodart]

What a supercool and creative idea!

[@paulone-off7286]

There's a man who likes to use nails. Interesting bookshelf.

[@drail80s]

I never get tired of watching you make these beautiful pieces.

[@tattoos1988]

Now that’s fantastic I really like the rustic look the copper was a great addition thank you for sharing your skills

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks :)

[@michellehoward7406]

OMG another amazing project who would have thought wood and metal would have looked so good togethor definetly not me until now. Cant wait to see what you come up with next.

[@artysciencegal2521]

Oh I love the idea of using all the markings on the wood and adding those metal plates gives it more depth. Nice job as always!

[@pebblesthecat3625]

Yet again you create the beautiful from the spoilt, the pristine from the disguarded, the useful from the trash. It is such a unique style, with upcycled accents, and subtle wood prints. A creation anyone, would be honoured to have in their home. Thanks for sharing your amazing design skills with us again.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much :)

[@thealgonquin5822]

Another fabulous piece. I imagine every time you look at it, you would see it differently. That's what makes it so amazing. Bravo, again.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks :)

[@zoars1]

Another fantastic build Sir. I absolutely love the patchwork effect on the uprights.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks :)

[@PeteBeardsley]

Having watched all of your videos I have no superlatives left. Another fantastic piece made from nothing. Thanks for sharing once again.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much, Pete :)

[@nathanl6598]

That may be one of the most outstanding bookcases I've ever seen.

[@mariuszzmilowski5451]

You surprise us every time you upload a new project. please don't stop doing this🙏

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much :)

[@peace7875]

Потрясающий стеллаж. Спасибо за идею, теперь хочу такой же сделать, для любимых книг

[@ASB-One360]

Man I'm speachless I did not expect it to look so good at the end ... this guy is a wizzard !

[@bamsebrumbamsebrumen5403]

Always a joy to wach your palet-creations grow into furniture :)

[@flashflame4952]

I am flabbergasted at the work you constantly produce! This is the most imaginative and creative bookcase I've ever seen, makes me wish I lived wherever you live just to pay to build stuff for me! Well done once again...

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much :)

[@jcsrst]

I just love these pieces! All the pallet logos and signage are a brilliant addition and I love that you save everything!

[@user-gj5gm2mg7k]

This is one of the most beautiful man-made things I have ever seen!

[@MRmadman1978]

WOW WOW WOW! This is Staller anyone would be honored to have this in their house. Gives me some awesome ideas!

[@jeanclaudep4937]

Tout son atelier en bois de palette, un génie du bricolage RESPECT !

[@jdcochran1984]

You sir are a wizard. I've watched every one of your videos and am continually amazed with each following project you build. I've only been woodworking for 4 years and hope to one day achieve just a fraction of your skills and abilities. Keep up the good work and best wishes from Arkansas!

[@ResoluteGryphon]

This is the first project I've seen of yours that looks like it was made from pallet wood (but in the best possible way).

[@insanityisorange8659]

Hmm do I watch this now or do the sewing jobs I have to get done for Monday? Ah well I can always text and say Tuesday instead! Lol. Cup of tea and Jason incoming! Love it xxxx

[@wirelesmike73]

How many years it must have taken to collect all of those little cutoff pieces with all their different little brands and stamps? Your boxes of scraps, alone, would be a fortune to some who actually notice such things. There's just something about the combination of wood and metals. It's a treat to watch you work them together.

[@merandalorian]

This is beautiful! you're quite the talent

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks :)

[@AllanAdamson]

skills, that's why I watch this channel.. to see the craftsmanship and to live vicariously

[@monkeysmom8679]

Wow… this has got to be an absolute beast to move but it is incredible! You are a truly creative soul!

[@patriciarichey6805]

This is great. I love upcycling and you do such a good job of choosing elements to go together- wood and metal. I am a quilter so I just enjoy the way patchwork is “delicious to the eye”, too.

[@teeringzooi]

Awesome and ingenuity, again I would have been tempted to say there may have been some hidden compartments if I had not seen the build 🤗

[@ptick16]

I'm going to be copying this project for my own home. The end result was fantastic! Thanks for posting.

[@jreese8284]

As a scrap quilter, I find this so familiar. So much to discover.

[@larsfrandsen2501]

Amazing work as usual, Jason. Equal parts artist and craftsman. I marvel every time a new video is uploaded ❤

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much, Lars :)

[@geraldbullardjr]

One of my FAVORITE KZbin videos on woodworking! GREAT JOB! So Much Inspiration to be gained from this guy!

[@MystiqueULH]

Making something out of nothing/scrap. This is amazing and though it wouldn't fit with my decor it would fit into someone's house who likes the country/rustic look. Unfortunately American are very big on throwing things away. I grew up in Germany and because of WWII and after when many things were not available my moms generation learned to make something out of nothing. For example my mom was invited to the huge first Pressball after the war and fabrics were not available. So she took the curtains made of cotton with Brussels Lace about 1' wide and made a ballgown out of it with a silk lining that she still had and it was beautiful. I learned from her to use and reuse and repurpose. You are a master of thinking outside the box.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much for the comments. It is very sad that so much gets thrown away. Always good to hear others are repurposing as well :)

[@mauserkk98]

Leaving the painted labels is a great touch .

[@floriannowak261]

I'm rarely ever commenting any video, but your artwork and craftmanship commands me to do it. You are an hidden artist in the disguise of a masterfully skilled handyman. Epic is the only reasonable description of your work. Thank you for uploading your videos, i enjoy every single one of them to the fullest.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much :)

[@Yury_Alexandrov]

Просто шикарный проект! Это сколько времени и труда потрачено чтобы создать лёгкое впечатление простоты и утилитарности этого изделия! Если бы в детстве у меня был такой шкаф, то я пожалуй от него не отходил бы.)) Надо будет попробовать сделать что-то подобное. Спасибо за идею, мастер!👍🤝

[@Take_And_Make]

I love it! Great looking shelf! Contrast is amazing, adding strips of copper and tin made it look even better

[@stellahabets1092]

Fantastisch weer! Ik zat er al op te wachten, ging even checken en....tadaaaa! Dankje, hou van je hout werken!
