Apothecary Cabinet Workbench Made From Pallet Wood, Worktop Offcuts and Oak Flooring.

This apothecary bench is going to be the bottom half of a large tool rack I'm building for the workshop. It's built out of pallet wood, oak worktop offcuts and oak flooring.
You can see the top part of this build with all the tools here. • I Built My Dream Tool ...

I just don’t understand how this channel exists. The tools and materials are modest, the projects are big, high quality, complex and diverse and yet somehow there’s no sponsors,ad reads, plan sales, patreon solicitations. I might actually try the super thanks button I’m just so grateful for all the superb content.

[@mibict]

Some people just share knowledge for free. Unbelievable, but true and amazing.

[@CheveeDodd]

These days, there's no other woodworking channel that excites me like yours. I get so excited when the notification pops up that I find a quiet place to watch. Your work is fantastic and relaxing... and as always, your patience for the details is inspiring. Thank you for everything you do!!!

[@daos3300]

many things to love about this channel but two things stick out right now 1. the fact that much of the work is done using simple hand tools and skills, as opposed to having 100 grands worth of ridiculous pro level machinery, and 2. the fact he doesn't feel the incessant need to talk at all, saving us having to listen to mindless, unnecessary over-explanation and repetition, as though talking to brain dead zombies.

[@eslea]

Your workshop is a testament to your being the Zen Master of Cabinetry. I cannot remember ever seeing anyone make decorative molding by hand planing. Looks like you’re proud of this achievement, as you should be. We are in awe.

I never tire of the simplicity of your creations. Nor do tire of the simple methods that you use. While it would be a treat to hear you talk about the projects as you build them, there is calmness in hearing nothing but the tools against the wood. Thank you.

you put more skill and effort into making a single drawer than many would put into the entire cabinet - it looks fantastic.

[@craftingmamaberne3776]

Your work has me mesmerised. I used to enjoy watching my late father make items out of wood when he retired. He would be in his element in your workshop. He used to make side tables, then doll four poster beds and my Mam used to make the bedding and they’d gift them to charities. Then when my children got into. School age he made them there own beds with the names engraved into the headboard. You truly are an amazing talented man.

This is hands down my favorite KZbin channel. When I saw the thumbnail come up I got so excited. No other channel has that affect. And this project… like so many others of yours…. Did not let me down. You are truly one heck of a craftsman. I love watching your builds. And it’s always impressive what materials you use to make these completely impressive projects. There are really no words to express how impressed I am with your work. I look forward to your next project. Thank you so much for sharing your work and taking us along for the ride.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much, Angie :)

[@einy2crikey]

Beautiful! It really does look more like a piece of furniture than a work bench. Since you're going to be moving things around to make a place for that beauty, you should make us a quick shop tour video.

Heck I'm building a small table with two drawers and can't even get them square - to say nothing of a cabinet like that with hundreds of parts. Impressive. Just impressive. Thank you for sharing your work with us - it's something for us to strive toward.

hi Jason. Watching the video, I was struck by the moment when you make the shapes of the frames ( minute 21.44 of the video ). I had never seen that tool in my life, nowadays everyone uses routers or trimmers. Your work always amazes me. 💯💯💯

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks Luigi. That was an old moulding plane. I've got loads of them. They are a lot of fun to use, and a lot quieter than a router.

I’m sorry… but did I just witness someone cut molding by hand! That’s incredible! Time to subscribe!

[@richardrodgers1883]

I can't remember exactly where it is but there is an Amish shop in Penn that will hand make custom molding for you in at least 100 different styles. They have well over 100 Old hand made molding hand planes on the walls. It is a history lesson in itself just going and looking at all the planes. But on KZbin this about the only place I have seen it done and done right.

I've followed many woodwork channels over the years, however most that have started humbly , with modest tools and shop/shed garage etc. have evolved beyond mere normies like myself, who is at best a DIYer ,dabbler weekend warrior. with projects and tools way beyond the "armature" . I am not saying that is wrong, but I am sad that sometimes that I can no longer keep up and relate. In this sense < I appreciate this channel, the extreme patience, and cavity is one thing, but despite having a ton of machines he chooses to use hand tools where possible. Thank you Jason, it feels that there is still for the likes of me....
