Steamer Trunk Treasure Chest Made From Reclaimed Pallet Wood.

[@williamanderson1127]

one of your best builds

[@TonyCandido-z1c]

The more videos I watch. The more speechless I become! Incredible work..

[@cthepower]

My dad used to say "I've done so much, with so little, for so long; now, I can do practically anything with nothing at all" I love you used everything including the old nails :)

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks :)

[@jakeeasterwood3204]

Skill is always the most important tool you will ever need and must have in your toolbox.

[@WrenintheRoses]

I’ve heard that same saying before. The version I know was on the bulletin board in the operations control room at the power plant where I used to work. It went, “we the willing, led by the unknowing, have been doing the impossible for the ungrateful, with so little for so long, we now feel that we can do anything with nothing.”

[@marykayryan7891]

What a great saying. I'm writing that down right now.

[@bencorley8687]

The hinges... you even made the hinges... my god man. Well done indeed.

[@ksmith3116]

I was looking for designs for this type trunk tonight to build some myself and ran across your video. I'm an older carpenter myself and still in awe of your work. Your level of detail and skill deserves much respect. New subscriber.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much :)

The god of palettes and rusty nails.... he did it again!!! Out of all.... absolutly great job!!! Love it!!! ❤

[@pattylevasseur4041]

THATS CRAFTMMANSHIP AT THE FINEST !!!!!!!! unbelieveable job!!! your family will probabaly go to the spreme court fighting to have that !!!

[@beebob1279]

Your craftsmanship is second to none. I've got three from my great grandparents when they came to America in 1890 or so. I've thought about restoring them to display in the bedrooms at the lake house. You're giving me a motivation here. And, it's all from pallet lumber huh? I particularly am impressed with the metal working skills. You remind me of my father. He was an industrial arts teacher and built all kinds of things.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks for the comments :)

[@carolannwagner7128]

You did a fantastic job. Thanks for letting us watch.

Le aseguro, señor de Epic, que he optado por quitarme el sombrero antes de ver sus vídeos; mis amigos me dicen que es lo que toca. Les pregunto : " - ¿ por qué ? ", me responden " - encima, hace los herrajes ". Una pieza preciosa. 👌👍🇪🇸

[@jamesbell3104]

You are my favorite artist in wood. A true joy to watch.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much, James :)

[@AliceRodriguez]

I totally agree with you a joy to watch and one of my favorites as well. It is like the wood slats talk to him and walla a piece of art and amazing craftmanship in the end.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much :)

[@piratetaylor29]

Again, the patience of a saint and a true creative artist. Amazing talent. The metal work is outstanding.

[@kevincorbin6273]

Love the sunburst grain on the end panel of the lid, I’m thinking that didn’t happen by chance

[@celestialscripture]

After watching quite a few of this guy's videos, then, of course, subscribing to his channel, as he is brilliant, I realized that he is the living embodiment of a nugget of knowledge that life made known to me, namely "There are no shortcuts. There is only the way."

[@jeanneduchene3306]

Congratulations! So well done! You put a GOLD star on RECYCLING. You are awesome!

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks Jeanne :)

[@jeanneduchene3306]

Since I was eight years old I was carving statues for pass time and gave it away because it was not popular for girls to work with wood 50 years ago My last name says oak in French and I never changed it. I love watching the reverence you have with your work. I'm very old now and can't do wood work any more and I love to watch your work over & over again. I have statues in churches.

[@SuperAMAZINGOFYOUTUB]

Nice work! One thing I suggest side handles need to be a section higher, so center of gravity will be under the handles.

[@chrisward925]

Materials cost probably a few quid, Craftmanship, absolutely priceless!

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks Chris :)

[@k-kron]

You know you're a boss when you make your own hinges out of sheet metal

[@garyseaman6105]

Nice build. Made me think back to the Luggage and Terry Pratchett. Just needs thousands of feet. :) Many thanks.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks Gary. I would love to do a recreation of that chest. Maybe one day :)

[@chriswenkle2635]

Another 'heirloom quality' build. I like how nothing is wasted. Your work reminds me a bit of the saying from The Depression times: "Use it up - wear it out - make do - or do without." Truly a pleasure to watch what you can do with scrap.

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks Chris. I like that saying :)

[@ruthkaiser6168]

Beautiful trunk. I've been watching your videos all day. Awesome. Thank you for your gift. See you at your nexted video.🙌❣️🌟🛠️📐

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks. I am slowly filling up our house with everything.

[@Cat74]

It’s the patients and the attention to detail that gets me there’s not many, that would take the time to make their own hardware for their projects.. but that tub of nails though! That’s just epic lol! :)x

Thanks Catherine :)

[@4funksakes]

Those nails kill me but whatever its a nice trunk made outa junk

I work for a recycling project and go to construction sites and collect waste timber/pallets, so I have, myself, made a few things (tables, planters, shelves...) out of scrap wood, but what you do is absolutely impressive. You really take it to the next level. Craftsmanship at its very best. Hats off to you

[@railfan439]

The only, ONLY thing I would have done differently is to use either screws or through-bolts to hold the side handles on. People will tend to pick up the loaded chest by those handles, pulling the nails right out. Through-bolts, with a wooden gusset on the inside would solve that problem. Nice build. Thanks for the video. Jon
