Nuts and Bolts Organiser made from Pallets and Scrap Metal

I've already got loads of drawers, but I wanted somewhere just for nuts and bolts.
You can never have too many drawers.
It's all made out of pallets and scrap.
I also found a use for our old tumble dryer.

There is something to be said about saying absolutely nothing. There was no " like & subscribe ", " hit that notification bell " or " smash that button " or any other obnoxious request to follow their page. What a breath of fresh air. This man, his work, his paired down approach, free of dramatic innuendos, clic baits or non sensical banter to allow his work to speak for itself, I LOVE THIS. In this day & age of shameless self promotion, where it's not important how beautiful, functional or purposeful something is but rather if some vapid celeb like Kim Kardashian barfed on it that makes any algorithm spike, i'm glad there's still some that believe that their work should speak for itself. You have earned my subscription and admiration sir, bravo !

Thanks very much for the comments, I really appreciate them :)

Magnifico work 👍

[@RG101101]

Anyone who can drive in slotted head screws using a Yankee screwdriver without it slipping and gouging into the wood and metal deserves a thumbs up 👍 Excellent work👏

And he also pleases my mechanics OCD that he also clocks the screws. True craftsman.

[@lurugon]

I really apreaciate the irony of him building a huge cabinet for nut and bolts not using any nuts or bolts

[@mikee1373]

Also something ironic about seeing his impressive collection of hand planes all lying unused while he goes to his power planer to prep all his wood.

[@polerin]

@@mikee1373 he uses them regularly, but for bulk stock preparation of scrap wood that might have metal or stone hiding in the surface? hand planes aren't exactly the best option.

[@jamesont6472]

​@@mikee1373surface plane vs. Thickness plane are 2 different birds 🦆 🐦

[@jamesont6472]

​@@polerinthe biggest threat is the wire that holds the collated nails together, easily overlooked when pulling nails. It's almost like welding wire just thicker, will chip commercial carbide blades too, I used to find a lot of them left after the de-nailer yard

[@guzziwheeler]

Well, this is what trained carpenters or cabinet makers can do. Go to the cabinet maker whom you trust, show him this video, an he will make you such a drawer cabinet. All you have to do is to pay for it. And do not wait too long, these craftsmen are just dying out.

[@annepayton6461]

Have you considered a Dreambox 2? Compact storage for sewing or crafting. Not quite as wonderful as Jason's work, but who can match his stuff? Still waiting to see how he would build a grandfather clock!

[@jmsmom67]

I sew too and have had that thought many times myself! Wouldn’t that be awesome!

[@laszlocsepregi924]

I'm sorry, but I'm writing with a translator. I had an uncle and he also worked with wood and spoke just as much as you do in your videos. He worked calmly and precisely and watched until I was a child. Sometimes he spoke and then he spoke words of wisdom. I once asked him if this could not be done faster with another method? This is what he answered. Good work takes time, bad work takes even more time because you have to correct it. That was forty years ago, but I'll never forget it. You make great videos and it reminds me of my wonderful childhood. I also made a small DIY workshop for myself, but I can't make furniture anywhere near as nice as this. However, the smell of wood calms you down in this fast-paced world.

I have been a regular attendee at these sessions where nary a word was spoken, and have been silenced by the deceptively quiet genius of 'Mr Epic'. I love the situation where I have no clue what will become what; sit back and learn, be entertained, and be amazed as logic, efficiency, and beauty all come together. Another beautiful piece! THANKS!!

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks Joe :)

[@BlackCatsandPumpkins]

Lovely piece of furniture. Wouldn't say no to that in my sewing room. And painted and finished in my favourite colours. Very industrial. Another great project. When I saw the washing machine I thought it was a 'joke' item thrown in. That is definitely upcycling at its best.

[@outthasky]

Really appreciate your exceptional craft, use of hand tools, subtle music that fits perfectly in between the lovely sounds of working with wood. Thank you, I am learning so much from you.

[@kathybrandt6060]

I couldn’t figure out what you were gonna do with the washing machine. You have outdone yourself again. I am running out of ways to say that your talent has no equal. But that’s just fine, because I love watching you create all So many beautiful ways to deal with underuse materials. And I’m now going to start counting the days again for the next post. Kathy.

[@watersipper1116]

I loved it, too. I saw in the description he says it was a dryer, though. Not that it matters that much.

[@larsfrandsen2501]

The only thing missing here is the ability to ‘like’ the video again every time I watch it anew. I must have watched each of Jason’s videos at least five times by now. And counting.

[@keneldred9030]

Absolutely amazing! What can actually be done with only scraps of materials, and a little creative ingenuity! And a HUGE BONUS for me- the man was actually using “HAND TOOLS “ for a lot of the work! Absolutely magnificent workmanship! Way to go man!

[@larryk6330]

Outstanding! I was impressed when you completed all the drawers. Then you stepped it up by adding the metal fronts and handles. The tools holders just puts it over the top. Another beautiful project!

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks Larry :)

[@adstoop7885]

This is one of those KZbin channels where you wait until the next "surprise" video comes out. Great inspiring ideas such as with the old washing machine. If the engine is still in working order, you can make a wood lathe. On to the next one and we wait 'quietly' in curiosity. THANKS with big greetings from the Netherlands.

i am honoured to see that there are those of us that were taught that if the glue is oozing out of your work it is too much. i would imagine that there are those that believe otherwise but to me it is neater and less cleaning afterwards. nowadays i watch quite a few woodworkers on tube and i must congratulate you on your very entertaining and very high standard of work. only a few of my age left but i am glad to see that there are those that take so much pride in their work. looking forward for the next project.

And a third time to check on the realization of this or that detail that I may have missed.

[@Tensquaremetreworkshop]

Why? Seriously, why? If it just for appearance, wallpaper of drawer fronts will do. For storage of most components, where numbers and types vary over time, they are an inefficient and time consuming method. With a workshop (rather than a display area) form follows function. It is a tool to facilitate making, and should be fit for purpose.

[@kathleenrobson1803]

@@Tensquaremetreworkshop I do embroidery and crochet and I would like to put my cottons etc in separate drawers so I could find them easier 😁 but I look at your drawers and get envious 😂

[@Tensquaremetreworkshop]

@@kathleenrobson1803 You will find them easier in a large drawer-colour along one axis and shade the other. Run the sample you are trying to match across this field and you will get the best match in seconds. Large drawers are little more effort than a small one- and take less space! (there is a lot of space lost to the parts of a drawer if it is small). Plus it is easier to afford slide mechanisms- soft close. Probably cheaper than a lot of handles and label holders. Don't want to make? Take a look at mechanics tool trollies...
