I already watched the video a very long time ago, but just watched it again. 🙂 This masterpiece is a joy to watch, and the sound of tools instead of annoying YT music makes it worth watching again. 👌

[@3rdoldhen]

Me too!

[@harveymetal-rf2ie]

Guy makes a break and reads MAD. Its just funny but also reminds me of the simple days. Thanks for that.

[@fatroberto3012]

Two weeks later, all the drawers are full and you realize you need another one! This is an absolutely astonishing piece of work. To make a hundred drawers exactly to size, out of recycled pallet wood, not some well behaved hardwood. Wow!

[@mackafixer]

no talking ,no shit music, just a bloke in his shed making it happen. I LIKE IT.

Thanks :)

Thanks Kathy :)

[@generallee185]

This guy is not a craftsman, he’s an artist. He’s the best woodwork artist I’ve ever seen.

[@peterrobinson7803]

It would take me years to complete a project of this complexity and repetition. I would not be able to stick with it for long before l got bored and started something else. Bravo!

[@jorgepiresjunior]

I'm a renovation guy and woodwork enthusiast. I have many tools, not as good and as many as he have, but the ones I have would suffice to do a project like this. But he have something way more expensive that I lack of, and its patience. I love watching the video, and I envy his abilities and tools, but I envy much more his patience. A project like this with so many small pieces and little details would drive me insane. I take my hats of to this gentleman. Congratulations

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much, Jorge :)

[@Roweinna]

Right? I have toy envy!

[@firenbubble]

c'est exactement ce que je me dit a chaque fois que je regarde une de ses vidéo ^^

[@medicbabe2ID]

The patience...yes. We have a shop and every basic/intermediate power and hand tool I could ask for, but what I cannot buy is patience. Two weeks ago I was making a simple wood & metal napkin holder based on a $29 one I saw online, and I got so excited at how well it was turning out that I rushed it and the tried to eyeball the two screws on the front that blend perfectly into the design...if they're aligned. They are not. At my age I should know better and slow down.

[@kerrischneider7693]

I've always said that God didn't bestow upon me enough patience, as I just plumb ran out of patience in the early 1990s...lol. So I was surprised that I could sit and watch this entire video straight thru without skipping ahead at all. While watching this, 2 themes were running through my head - 1) I wish I had this guys level of patience and 2) He must have built something similar to this before.... b/c I would have to make a cut list for that many pieces! Even if I had a detailed cut list, I would probably screw something up or rush too much. I wish the big box stores sold "patience" - they'd make a fortune!

[@80RedRock]

Watching you split those longboards, I've never been more jealous of a bandsaw.

Staring back at the camera while sanding cracked me up🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

*I'll just add a great "chapeau bass" for you* 👏🤩

[@GTAHomeGuy]

I was talking about how a planer should function as a jointer too... Then I found this video and blew my mind. As soon as you took off part of the table, it was like a movie "oh no, what's coming... is it... NO IT IS!!!" Thanks for opening my eyes to a bad purchase of an individual tool!

[@corvairist]

What people who haven’t floundered there way through a project like this may not realize is how incredibly accurate the measuring and spacing is on these projects: compensating perfectly for dado and slot thicknesses and spacing. The planning and engineering are so good that you don’t notice them.

[@brazillady5119]

It reminds me a lot of that Primitive Technology channel.

I still go back and rewatch those videos from time to time. Might be doing the same for these. Very similar tone, if not theme.

[@krissisk4163]

The level of patience and attention to detail to put this together is astounding. And the fact that he did it with crappy pallet lumber on top of that? That pushes the patience required to do this to truly inhuman levels. I'm incredibly impressed both with the craftsmanship and with the shear amount of time and effort that went into it.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks Kris :)

[@corvairist]

I think Mr Epic brilliantly incorporates an aesthetic understanding of the rustic nature of the source material allowing the finished piece to not be over finished and overly smooth but he is also not a slave to the roughness. I usually don’t like faux antiquing but this seems to straddle the line in a beautiful way. Finally the piece doesn’t seem too precious to actually use, which can be a problem a lot of fancy woodworking projects have.

[@terryrogers1025]

Wow, all I can say is you have patience of saint and the tenacity of a pit bull sir, a most excellent build, I admire the finish product. Thanks for the video.

Но мы, те кто работает руками, с удовольствием смотрим видео от мастеров из Америки, копируем ваши станки, смотрим как вы работаете, учимся у вас и стараемся не отставать.
