[@Woodwork_Mix]

One minute you think you're a pretty good woodworker, the next you see the work and admire this guy making a great box out of almost firewood. Great job sir, and very inspiring!

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much :)

[@gimnasiumclub9175]

Lui non è un falegname, lui è un artista

[@johnswindale9115]

Just beautiful

[@ibubezi7685]

"Oh, that is interesting - corners shortened like that you don't see very often...." Damn! Brass inlays! Beautiful!

[@nievacamaramiz6396]

Minucioso y precioso trabajo. ¡Un excelente artesano! 👏🏼

[@michaelm9455]

Your chanel truely is a blessing, Jason. Not only for your skill and patience but also for the lack of attention-seeking. No blasting music, no fancy intro, no begging for subscription. Just the pure beauty of creating masterpieces from scratch. A concept that seems to work for a lot of viewers. Almost at 30k views not even 24h after upload. Just as most of us grabbing a drink and finding some quiet place to watch your work, I hope you do the same when browsing through the hundrets of comments of appreciation and praise. Thanks for your inspiration Jason!

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks for your wonderful comments, Michael :)

[@michaelm9455]

Everything on hold! Change of plans now that I see there's a new vid. Very rarely do I get excited on KZbin. This chanel is an exception.

[@pavloszimbrakos4410]

I’ve never even heard of this channel until now so that’s cool that you’re a regular lol

[@vincegregory797]

Lol. You got me! There was I thinking Mr meticulous was losing his touch with the poorly fitting corners, then of course your precision engineered brass plates saved the day! Another beautifully designed and crafted marvel. Thank you and bless you.

[@piggybakkers]

I couldn't agree more.

[@Truth_Always_Wins_7]

Shame on you for even thinking such a thing 😂 😂

[@tinareaume7484]

I was thinking the same thing... "now when is he going to fix that?"

[@eggsngritstn]

Same! I was wondering what was coming along.

[@pavloszimbrakos4410]

I don’t even know how to respond to this this was a really really weird comment lol it made no sense 🤨

[@unclejrok9083]

This man speaks volumes without saying a word.

[@pavloszimbrakos4410]

The banjo music is annoying though lol

[@stevemccauley5734]

@@pavloszimbrakos4410nothing wrong with the banjo music. Maybe it’s just you.

[@gregmason2208]

Beautiful piece of work. This is the sort of video I like. No music, no unnecessary chatting just the sound of the work shop and straight forward filming without Hollywood antics.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much :)

[@gene_takavic57]

In this world of mass produced items, it is refreshing to watch a craftsman create something so amazing by hand from reused materials. Fantastic job! I'm sure Mrs. Upcycling loves her gift.

[@bayadere8308]

Mrs. Upcycling! I managed to divert most of the coffee away from the keyboard.

[@damogranheart5521]

Actually, she is Mrs. Epic!

[@justincowdell5787]

Just when you think Jason has once again up cycled yet another masterpiece he only goes and does brass inlay to make it even better. WTF Jason give us mere mortals a fighting chance please.

[@BoxFunk]

Your workshop is the most beautiful thing ive ever seen, and your work is wonderful aswell!

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much 🙂

[@saggioculo5386]

His workshop is his work. I don't see anything wooden in there that he didn't create.

[@anthonyspats7354]

I’ve been in the construction business for over 40 years, never have I seen any one better at carpentry than you, truly amazing work.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much :)

[@WeerdWulf]

Saturday evening and a new video from Epic UpCycling. Fantastic! EDIT: Such wonderful skill and imagination to recycle old furniture. This is the necessary skills that a generation of children should be learning in school

[@adstoop7885]

I fully agree with this comment and opinion. This is really something for practice and more educational than kilos of paper with all kinds of texts about tricks of working with wood and chisels.

[@cathybenson5119]

Your wife is a very lucky lady. I would love to receive whatever you make. You are a very clever man. 😊😊

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much :)

[@MACMoneU2]

The level of planning and detail is amazing. The copper accents, the lovely blue velvet, detailed measurements and the Cookie Crisp cardboard liner 😂. Charming and well done!

[@polerin]

that cookie crisp liner made me facepalm.. I hadn't even thought about that as a source of material for something of this nature.

[@diego64079]

An artisan jeweler who manages to master the irreducible nature of materials, just as a poet models language and words. Jewel by Jewel, the jeweler translates these noble materials into forms that transport us to dream worlds, the result of a creative universe that has already become a hallmark of its own identity.

[@jinns9503]

I would absolutely cry(happy tears) if my spouse gave me something like this. Gorgeous work as usual.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks :)

[@markcandasamy2878]

Masterclass in fine detail woodcraft. Speechless

[@rachelunderwood4868]

So it wasn't enough to have me coveting your wife's sewing box, now I have to hanker after her jewel chest! Thanks a lot!

[@hjecoelln5980]

One of my favorite things to do in the evening: drinking a glass of wine and watching you create another masterpiece.

[@kenspears7159]

Wait, why is the wood on corners not even? That's going to look....oh, that is EPIC!

[@gaz740]

Words fail me yet again Jason. I know I've said it before but "Absolutely Stunning!!!" just doesn't describe your talent. Fantastic project.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much, Gaz :)

[@leslieapplegate65]

Your wife is a lucky woman!! Beautiful jewelry box!!!

[@Junior-rz3ox]

I have been watching this guys videos for a few years. Everytime I am just blown away by the craftsmanship and details, he adds to all his projects. It's not new wood from a big box store or exotic woods, it's stuff he is recycling into a piece of artwork. The end results are astonishing.

[@carolinefreeman4546]

Broken old drawers, cereal box card and plastic tubing turned into the highest quality jewellery box. It's like your own brand of magic. I love that this is for your wife! You had me wondering for a bit why you'd cut out the ends of the dovetails, but then I realised of course you're going to make it extra special. It's beautiful and I hope she loves it.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much. Yes, she loves it :)

[@IZ4Cats]

Happy wife, happy life! 🙂 You must be a very, VERY happy man, Jason! I would go crazy with joy with a gift like this! This box is another fantastic piece of art!

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much :)

[@thefrisianviking28]

Always a joy to see my favorite woodworker across the atlantic create something great. I just poured some tea and now I will enjoy the entire video quietly. 😊

[@owenclark7210]

Precision, right down to the hinge screws having the slots all aligned. Truly the mark of a Master Craftsman.

[@shirleyannconfer9651]

Wow. Just wow. I’ll bet your wife was absolutely floored. I watched you make it, and I certainly was!

[@StuartVsWood]

All the way through I was asking myself, why has he left the box joints protruding? And then he only goes and puts brass squares in them...Genius. Love watching this channel.

[@gsp911]

I just love when someone makes sure that the screw notch is straight. 👌😁 Beautiful box. Thx for another great video.👍

[@mmmjd-usa]

How lucky is she who found a man that loves her so deeply, is inspired by his feelings, and translates them into tangible beauty, just for her.

[@rthresher]

Using those wood strips to straighten out the tubes was masterful! Talk about thinking inside the box.

[@grahamgill5910]

That is a workshop to 'die' for.

[@gracesansom9668]

Absolutely gorgeous, bet the wife loved it. A gift from the heart.

[@nobuckle40]

A wood workers skills can be seen in how he makes a simple, unassuming box. Your attention to detail is remarkable. I'm sure she loves it.

[@trevorwright995]

He's got the patience of a saint all that repetitiveness in his work would of blown my mind but still he's one of the best woodworker on KZbin

[@anwolfs9804]

even all the screws of the hinges are in the same position, marvellous!

[@paulpalmer9970]

Once again sitting here watching a master at work,highlight of my day,keep them coming please,

[@colinsmith6116]

Very nice. I first got into it thinking,oh not more wooden boxes, but I suddenly was fascinated watching you make it, and everything fitted and had a place. Well done and I have no doubt your wife was very happy with her gift.

[@user-yn7rw6mi7h]

First some old drawers, then a pile of kindling, next a jigsaw made of wood strips, and finally another little masterpiece of woodcraft. Your work is so fascinating and satisfying to watch.

[@allisonstevens7141]

What a beautiful jewellery box absolutely stunning. I hope your wife loved the box. Thank you for sharing Jason another one of your outstanding creations ❤

[@jt9498]

I'm at a loss for words! The word beautiful just doesn't describe it adequately!

[@hameley12]

I am so glad I subscribed to receive every notification whenever you upload your videos. I don't comment quite often but this project left me in awe! Your wife will absolutely remember this gift and your children, too, for the rest of their lives. I truly hope that she had a wonderful day. 🌹🌹🌹

[@mikeseldomridge8052]

A man of no words but beautiful products. His products and skills speaks for themselves

[@damogranheart5521]

That's a marvelous jewelry ✨️ box! I'm sure Mrs. Epic will be overjoyed with her gift. I wanted to tell you how much I admire your endeavors and your clean, well set-up workshop. You are a good example of keeping a safe and tidy working environment 👍 Most Excellent!

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much :)

[@leewood729]

Love that you also make sure the screws are all lined up properly...

[@rosesrose9131]

Wonderful to see you use old wood to make new things.

[@MalaiMagruder]

Another project beautifully completed! Your wife must be so proud! As always, your attention to detail is amazing. I kept wondering why the mitered edges were staggered; then I saw you place the brass inserts. Brilliant!!!

[@JSCRocketScientist]

Thank you. I have purchased as old silver chest for my granddaughter’s silver and I was wondering how to restore the cloth interior. Now I know!

[@jasoncdebussy]

That is simply beautiful. I love that you lined up the slots on the heads of the screws of the hinge 😊 I'm sure your wife was delighted with it

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks Jason, yes she loved it :)

[@michaelmokri5138]

Simply unbelievable....every corner square, every joint perfect, attention to detail in every step. Just beautiful!!! I'm sure your wife was overjoyed.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much :)

[@johnnyb95678]

Another amazing upcycle! I am so amazed at how you can look at scraps and turn them into such beautiful things. Thank you!

[@LaughingInTiny]

Utterly gorgeous 😍 Lucky lady! Love the brass details.

[@texanasimmons1761]

OMG!! How lovely it would be to receive a jewelry box from a loved one BUT to receive something this BEAUTIFUL and handmade would be so much more wonderful! This box is AMAZING and will be loved forever! Its truly a phenominal gift!❤❤ I have just subscribed to your channel!

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thankyou, and welcome to the channel :)

[@SparrowStockwell]

Oh, how beautiful! I know she loves it.

[@saggioculo5386]

My daughter (32 yr old) saw your treasure chest video and asked me to make one for her. She was serious! I sadly had to remind her of the time I tried making barstool and ended up with a footstool. "Just do what he does." Wow!

[@EpicUpCycling]

🙂

[@debrasmith2570]

Anything hancrafted comes from the heart. There is a lot of love put into your work. I really enjoy watching you making things. Your awesome.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much :)

[@pacificcoasttrains3785]

I'm now to the point that I like the video before watching. I then ask myself at many points, "what is he doing that for? Where is this going?" And later, Ohhhhh right of course, yeah that's terrific. Mrs. Epic must be delighted!

[@user-un2dl6jp1f]

This is a man who loves his wife! Absolutely beautiful!

[@alexcollins9513]

Thanks :)

[@markforrestsm]

Hi Jason, whilst you have created another "magical" piece of beauty - which I'm sure your wife will get to enjoy for many years - I have to say that tonight, I took the time out of my crazy schedule to just immerse myself in the tranquility of watching you create.. Watching you brought "stillness" to mind, so thank you for that! As always Jason, thanks and regards, Mark (ZA)

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks for the wonderful comments, Mark :)

[@eleniemmanouilidou24]

You did an amazing job! The jewelery box is so beautiful! I'm sure Mrs. Epic loved it!

[@Flower300690]

What a gorgeous gift!❤

[@sonjamay9642]

Fantastic piece! I hope your wife loved it!

[@cabman86]

This is absolutely gorgeous! I bet your wife was well pleased. I make keepsake boxes out of fallen tree limbs myself. I gave a few away as Christmas gifts to family. They were quite shocked that I made them myself. My sister used hers for her dog's ashes. That was an honor to me.

[@user-ix6is6rn3x]

Как всегда замечательно! Мой любимый блогер.

[@martingoddard2171]

Quite stunning as always. Your wife must have been delighted with the gift.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Yes she was :)

[@flatworm00]

Another work of art.

[@simonfarmer7587]

I can only echo the comments of others. Your work is exceptional Jason and I avidly await each of your new creations. I do also watch every film at least twice!

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much, Simon :)

[@daveh7945]

nice. simple. gorgeous. remember it's bad luck to give an empty jewelry box

[@karenhawley5411]

Every project, you outdo yourself from the last one. This box is beautiful! Well done! I bet she loves it…lucky woman.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks :)

[@wendineu5315]

[@ivanstiles7030]

[@GG-mb9rr]

No frills just skills. Refreshing and awesome. Makes me wish he could teach me how to create a desktop humidor.

[@David-vd9up]

What an amazing job! The Mrs. will love it I'm sure.

[@rjgaynor8]

Your level of workmanship is amazing. From someone who built most of his own furniture watching you take scraps and make beautiful pieces is amazing.

[@AuroDHikoshi]

It's fun watching this Channel, amazing work, and then spotting something in the background and wondering how that came together... and then breaking into the video to watch that one

[@orlahastings4563]

There is something really special about watching a master craftsman at work but to watch you is an absolute privilege. Mrs Epic is one lucky lady to have such a beautiful box to hold her treasures. Rosewood is a gorgeous timber and pairing it with the rich blue velvet is perfect, even if it does wrap around cereal packets 🤣. The added detail of the brass is also just lovely. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent with us mere mortals!

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much for the comments :)

[@seggremalac]

[@garyparker5516]

Unreal skill. Absolutely amazing!

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks :)

[@ChiefsFan62]

Beautiful job! The blue lining and metal accents really set it off. Using the rubber tubing for the ring holders was inspired. I'm sure the Mrs. was thrilled with it!

[@robinellis4341]

Yet again i watched as you made something so beautiful from materials most people would dump in a skip. I did wonder about the raised edges until you installed the brass strips. Well done and thanks for sharing with us.

[@glynchivers9519]

Mrs Upcycling must have loved this work of art, but also been shocked that the blue bedroom curtains had gone missing 😂

[@harryhamilton298]
