Apothecary Chest Artist's Cabinet made from Worktop Offcuts.

My art supplies needed a new home, so I've built an apothecary chest-inspired artist's cabinet out of oak worktop offcuts.

No talking, (mostly) no music, just a man doing his amazing craft. Absolute perfection.

[@tomahoks]

Yaaaas, I thought he was a fellow Finn.

[@chefdianenomore]

My dad would have loved this project. He also believed in "a place for everything, and everything in its place. "

[@sandienochs6132]

I am absolutely astounded at the skill you have obtained. They say “No man is the master of his craft in a day”. It’s obvious you’ve got a lot of days behind you. Thanks from Portugal.

[@tardismole]

Beautiful. And it almost matches the chest in the background.

[@denisemorrison7616]

You never cease to amaze me. I have to say you have the patience of an angel. I remember watching you make 100 little drawers, my heart bled for you. Now this, it was like watching you put a puzzle together. How I wish I could take a tour of your home just to see all the furniture pieces you have made and where they took pride of place in your home. 😲👍

[@glennreach6930]

Again I am amazed at your work.

[@moseth7606]

Perfect morning television 😁👍this video hasn't even started yet but I'm sure "awesome job" is in order 😀 👏

Amazing!

The attention to detail is amazing, and how he always uses reclaimed wood lets you know there's always a gem within the rough.

[@craigandsnowwadam4511]

I love ❤️ the smell off wood !

[@PJJ196]

Get the biggest smile on my face when you post a video brother

[@brendaowens2466]

That’s just marvelous. Any artist would be jealous of you.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks :)

[@yateleyhypnotherapy2111]

Oh my goodness. I’m just breathless. That’s a paintbrush box and a pencil box and a jewelry box and a screw box and a teabag and spice box and a doojiggy-that-you-know-must-be-important box. Do you know, if you lived near and you weren’t expensive I would have a house with floor to ceiling cupboards, little quaint ladders and bookshelves all over. And small secret. You’d have to build them in front of each other as I have too many books. But my, I’ll bet it would be beautiful…..

[@sylviapesek5193]

Oh, I want to give this comment a thousand thumbs up. Somehow, I'm just sure we must be related! 😉 Especially the part about too many books ... wouldn't it be lovely to have bookcases stacked in front of one another on nearly frictionless gliding rails so they could be accessed by the merest touch of a secret panel? A girl can dream!

[@TheParkAttendant]

Hand crafted dove tails! How I ache to have such skill and masterful wood working skills! Thank you for another masterful job well done!

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks ☺

It's that time again! Time to relax. Make some coffee. Install myself in the couch. And watch art being made. Hope you're doing well! Kind regards.

[@charleswilson8915]

The master strikes again! Thanks for making another masterpiece video. 😊

[@michellerobinson1318]

I ❤ all your pieces, but the Apothecary pieces are my favorite.

[@garyfrench6350]

Thanks Tracey ☺

[@paulineedwards9029]

Wish I could see more often. I am truly fascinated !

[@luigimariani1650]

Jason. The more I watch your videos, the more fascinated I am. Wooden boards that I don't know how to use, you make them into wonderful objects. Impossible not to follow your videos.💯👍

[@kevinscudamore2711]

It’s a pleasure watch and learn thank you 👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

1 drawer front (w/handles) 4 butcher block scraps ~100 recycled nails 1000 hours of work and one AMAZING chest that I could only dream of having for my art supplies🤓😍🤓

[@danhasan]

That's an absolutely stunning work of art and engineering

[@cathybenson5119]

Mate, you are a true artist with wood. 👏👏👍🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks Cathy ☺

[@neilfurby555]

The pleasure of a decent workshop, and nice work.

[@mdunn4555]

As i watch your videos I am in awe over the sheer labor that it takes to create fine wood furniture. Then there is the mathematic and precision you must have in order to put it all together. You make you lovely art from what you call case off, junk, or recycled wood but these creations are still heirloom furniture that should be past down from one generation to the next. I truely marvel at your skills.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks :)

[@jonathan2585]

Hands down the best craftsman perfectionist or what ever you want to call it on KZbin or social media thank you for another amazing video keep them coming please

[@laroseauxboisrosewoodwoodw8585]

I’m blown away my friend 😱👍🏼👏 I have 30 years in the craft and your ways of doing things by recycling snd even taking cereal boxes for your drawers is extraordinary 👏🎉 You’ve comme a long way since i started falowing you thx for sharing 🇨🇦

[@valeriehenschel1590]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 You patience is greater than mine. 😃

[@woodandwandco]

While the milling processes can often seem redundant in most woodworking videos, your milling process, due in part to the way in which you source materials for your projects, and in part to the particular challenges that come along with those materials, is always fascinating, particularly to watch you solve what is essentially a unique puzzle from start to finish! Thank you for continuing to show your full process! It is a wonderful learning experience every time.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much :)

[@dcl1339]

Just FABULOUS, I am speechless

[@kitchentroll5868]

You always surprise me. The only time I recall seeing more intricate joinery work was 50 years ago when my grandfather made a nesting box for purple martins that was a scale replica of the White House. It took him the better part of a year and, when finished, was a six man job + cherry-picker truck on loan from the power company working as a crane to get into position. Yours looks a good deal more manageable. Still, it impresses me that much of your work will go unseen behind the drawers. That's true carpentry that is. 👍

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks :)

[@deuxchows]

Man, I wish I could have seen that White House for purple martins. Sounds amazing.

[@Rubysud]

Fantastic!!!! Millions of likes 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Kaninchenbau]

Like watching someone put together a Lego build... after making the Legos from scratch Absolutely stunning work, I wish I had one of those myself 😂

[@bobpetti4841]

How to take a bunch of cast off leftovers and create a piece of real heirloom furniture. Wow. I hope you can hear me clapping my hands from New York. Well done - goodness I wish I had just a portion of your imagination and creativity - to say nothing of your persistence and patience.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks Bob :)

[@Speeddemon3]

I've never been disappointed by your channel Jason! Another amazing build by a true craftsman!!!!

[@EpicUpCycling]

Perfect addition to a sewing room!

Thanks Gaz :)

Any artist would love to have that for supplies. Really beautiful piece.

Thanks :)

Beautiful work. Throwing in the front angle increases the difficulty, highlighting the necessity of one super important tool - patience. Awesome job, as always!

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks Jeff ☺

Mega impressive build. Kudos & thanks for sharing!

Another absolutely beautiful piece of furniture, amazing ! thanks for sharing 👍

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks Steve :)

[@skyppdorsey]

I just consider you a great inspiration!! My Grandfather never called a plumber, electrician or any handyman!! He'd buy the tubes to repair the TV!! I'm pretty handy, but your patience and creativeness are on another level!! Will continue to watch and learn!!!!

[@andresilva8444]

One of my favourites so far. I like them simple and classy like that.

Thanks Graham :)

[@grahamalexander7230]

@@EpicUpCycling Hi Jason, sorry to contact you this way... My daughter has got me into making furniture for her using Pallets (dad = MUG) I now have a reasonable supply of euro pallets etc. Given I have a very good compressor I am looking to explore a nail remover as de-nailing is a royal pain..... Do you use one or any recommendations please!

[@EpicUpCycling]

Hi Graham. I've not used one, but I've seen them used. You still have to take the pallet apart, then you use the gun to shoot the nails out of the boards. The way I usually take Euro pallets apart is to split the blocks of the pallet with a hand axe, then just de-nail with a hammer and crowbar. Never an easy job but I found it the best way to keep the boards intact. I can't remember which videos, but there's a couple of mine where I do this at the beginning

[@grahamalexander7230]

[@paulhume8083]

Great craftsmanship and a brilliantly edited video too. What's not to like.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks Paul :)

[@alexisshoemaker66]

I am always amazed at the end results! I liken you to a sculptor, when they look at a price of stone and say, “it’s in there. You just have to bring it out”.

[@ivanwalker3391]

👍👍

[@jeffreyboddou3859]

Yet one more amazing piece, love it. And I showed it to my wife because she paint little arts and crafts and after the movie she kindly showed me the way to my drawing table and workshop 😁😁. Can't wait untill next month for a new art piece. Grts from Belgium.

Thanks Jeffrey :)

[@queenbee3647]

Picasso could learn a thing or two from you. Well done! 👍

[@frattman]

Another great video - thank you! There's something especially gratifying in making something to organize your tools and supplies. I should really make something like this to organize my daughter's art supplies so that they're more accessible and therefore more likely to be used.

C est toujours un plaisir de vous voir travaillés le bois; joli cabinet d' artiste

Merci :)

[@robertdickson1440]

I have been watching you for quite some time and have always been amazed at what you do with 'scrap' material. I hope that you have taught or that you teach your craft. It would be unfortunate for your knowledge to be lost and not shared. Thank you again for sharing what you can do. Another amazing job!!

Wow! I am so jealous of all of your cabinets! 🤩🤩

[@kersi-sandiego6036]

What a beautiful piece! To me what comes to mind is how this was planned. What materials to use. How best to sequence the tasks. What finishes to use. How best to arrive at the sizes of drawers. Where, deep into oneself to find the skill, patience and perseverance needed to build this. A gem of a video. Thank you Sir.

[@crowlers6]

Love that cabinet, very creative and the angel is perfect! 👍

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks :)

[@erikleorga]

Impressive use for such leftovers. Where I work I'm always saving the tail end cuts off butcher block because I can. Don't know what to use them for, but I can't bear to throw them away.

Incredible content. I can’t wait to see the next video!!!

[@reaper060670]

I say it all the time after watching one of ur builds bro but u are one of the most seriously talented people I've ever seen on here. Ur work puts a permanent smile on my face and I hope I can spend the last decades of my life learning to be anywhere near as good as u man. I wish I coulda found my love for woodworking decades ago when I was a young man but I'm here now and I'm going to spend the next 30 years of my life, God willing, devoting it to woodworking my friend, and it's mainly thanks to great artists like yourself that I found my passion at long last. I seemed to find myself working in dead end jobs all my life. I'm turning 50 this month and it's taken this ling to realise that I love working with wood. I love sharpening my chisels and all that stuff too. I love this passion I've developed later on in life and I fully intend on exploring it to see how good I can become now. I've always had talent but never really put it into the correct avenues but now I'm about to embark on my journey with my very own workshop and I cannot wait. Thanks for being such an inspiring person my bro. Ur work is phenomenal bro. Keep making these videos bcos they're no doubt inspiring a lot more people besides me. Of that I'm certain. Thanks my friend and SMASH THE LIKES AND SUBSCRIBE TO THIS GREAT CHANNEL all u good people watching this today. It costs us nothing to support a brilliant person and content creator like this dude. He gives us many many hours of viewing pleasure. Some of the builds have been down right astonishing when u see what he uses in the build process. heck this mans earlier videos if u haven't already folks. He's a bloody genius woodworker in my opinion and he's right brilliant at metalwork too. I've seen him make the best hinges from a flat piece of shitty looking metal but what he manages to create is simply brilliant.. Sorry for rabbiting on my friend but IU are just that good bro. I wish I could find a teacher like U man. I have also said that many times before too.. LOL. Take care and keep up the awesome work.
