Scrap Wood Coffee Table. No Glue, No Screws, Just Nails

A coffee table made from pallet wood and other scrap wood. No glue, no screws, just simple, traditional joints and a whole load of old pallet nails.

I love the humor of the contrast between all the effort that went into using no nails on the bottom of the table and the $h!+ ton of nails used for the top! 😂

[@garrysekelli6776]

İf he doesn't use the nails someone else might. Gotta get rid of em things.

[@Drumming_Carp]

I love the part where he cuts old wood and makes the table. This video has something for us all!

[@timthompson7205]

Get your facts straight. That's not a shit ton, it's a metric shit ton! 😮

[@janelloyd4332]

Hi brother im from Russia,its amazing table, Jesus Christ bless you guys

[@Cola82]

I laughed out loud when you plopped down the big pile of nails. I love your subtle sense of humor.

[@mrshannonite4016]

My grandfather used to be a foreman in a lumberyard and would take home scrap wood to play around with in his shed. He sadly died 20 years ago, before youtube. I'm sure if he had lived he would have loved your channel, and this video. Thank you :)

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks for the comment :)

[@tovemagnussen4423]

Second time watching this vid! ❤ When everything gets too much... I am just finding your vids, pick one, and then.... relax! ❤🌻😊

[@shirleyannconfer9651]

My late domestic partner installed hardware in a cabinet shop for close to twenty years, and would often bring home the cabinet grade scrap wood and drawer boxes. He would have loved this channel and might’ve been inspired by your work. Your attention to detail and careful measurements remind me of him. Thank you for sharing your process with your fans. I think my favorite part is the tabletop that looks inspired by a log cabin quilt pattern.

[@prithvirajkshirsagar9535]

Uncle, I always watch your hands while working and one thing strikes in my mind, the wedding ring in your finger is so tight that elaborate that you love aunt y a lot. You are made for each other. This is my love for you both. Regards.

[@cheeseisdelicious4627]

I must confess I'm most amazed at the table top. It's simple, but it's beautiful. Almost everyone on YT either uses a whole piece of wood or use colored resin to fill the gaps, sure it's pretty, but it became quite average. I have no idea where you get your inspiration from, but things you create always bring a feeling of goodness, uniqueness, beautiful and creative things.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much crystal hydra :)

[@phillamoore157]

Did you see the one where he used a old door for the top??? That video is astonishing, as well. Not just the design creativity, but the ingenuity, as well. Then again, you can say that about all his videos. I’ve asked him before, but I’d love to know his story and how he became this incredibly proficient, and endlessly inspired. Best channel on KZbin as far as I’m concerned.

[@cheeseisdelicious4627]

@@phillamoore157 OH! I've seen it all! And the feeling of awe never diminishes. I find such mastership should be saved as legacy.

Very cool piece, nice workmanship and imagination. I also laughed out loud at the pile of old nails.

[@darreno9874]

I had the pleasure of working for a cabinet maker for a summer as a bench hand, but along with meeting several others at the craft centre I've never seen a table top made in this way. So clever and beautiful. Nice work Jason. God bless

[@conshiusbean7401]

Some people are just quiet masters. It's a pleasure to watch you work.

When you started working on the top, I was confused. But that top, man, that is beautiful!

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks Dogbert :)

[@kevinsimpson7114]

I was exactly the same and agreed.👍🏻

[@jstan5599]

Lol I was like he has 2x4 he can mill that from then was just ohhhh Haha

[@carpentrytricia63]

Ok 2 things I love about your channel...ok there are more than 2 but here are the top 2...1 I don't need anybody to teach me how to use my tools...but I love new ideas on what to create with my offcuts...and 2 I love that you use old and new tools...when I took carpentry in high school......a long long time ago...they made us use all the hand tools before any machines..eg making dovetail joints so to see all the hand tools from my past and... that I still have is awesome...Keep up the great work!!! One thing I do need to get is a ...as I call it a baby square :o)

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks for the comments, Tricia. That baby square is one of my most used tools :)

[@delvingmind]

I feel like I learn more from just watching you than I can from people who have to “over explain”. Over explaining just complicates things...it doesn’t really teach you anything. Thank you for being YOU! ❤️

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much :)

[@debeichmann236]

[@richardspees841]

Simple and beautiful. Love the contrast between the top and the legs, and the use of the recycled nails as decoration along the edges.

[@DanKoning777]

Amen Jeremy. I see comments daily about 2020s chaos [even some here], and how a video is "lifting them up." If ppl only knew that the days ahead make todays events seem like a vacation. When God removes His church [rapture], all godly influence will be gone; then reality [sadly], will set in. I hope ppl listen. *The Gospel of Jesus Christ:* www.gty.org/library/sermons-library/81-96 Keep sharing the truth Jeremy. God bless.

[@jamiepatterson1214]

You blow my mind with each project you construct and complete. The resulting geometric pattern on that top sets that entire table off. Nicely done.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much, Jamie :)

You work is always so original and beautiful, one might class it, a work of art. I know from the start it’s going to be awesome, but it’s fun to guess along the way just what you are doing.
