The Witcher's Wooden Alchemy Chest // Woodworking Build

[@caswade4026]

Great! Now I have a place for all those leather books NerdForge and Dark Horse Workshop taught me how to make.

[@beccawells8618]

Love nerdForge! Not heard of Dark Horse Workshop, new KZbinr to check out!

[@Lara-eg3rp]

I came here directly from nerdforge lmao

Nerdforge are to blame for my tome collection, Dark horse is for therapy.

[@DarthFloof1990]

I had never heard of nerdforge before but just the name had me clicking to find it so fast. thank you lol

Those irregular oldschool-looking nails were like cherry on the cake.

[@briarfox637]

You can buy nails like that at most woodworking supply stores or shops. Theyre called cut nails.

[@Kenoscope]

I used to be able to do work like this, back before Diabetic Nephropathy stole the feeling in my hands and feet. Worse, I have over a hundred plastic models still in their factory sealed boxes that I can no longer build. You hit 70, you have all this neat stuff and mother nature steals your ability to do much of anything. I even have seven books half or more written that I am no longer able to complete. People, make the beautiful things while you can, because one day you will wake up to discover that you no longer have the dexterity to do so. Battle on!

[@summittaedae2323]

I’m a self confessed KZbin junkie! This is a stunning piece of craftsmanship! So impressive. I’d love a little roman war chest for my son Roman’s baby memories. 👍🏻

[@sharpie2907]

you should make more and sell them ,,especially now the series is out ,, fantastic workmanship btw.

[@peachesthesordid8619]

What impressed me most about this build is it's all reclaimed wood. You turned someone else's trash into a work of art.

[@paulrodriguez7015]

This is a superb wood working book I`ve ever read, t.co/oLg9l5gL3F . Both novice and some skilled woodworker can gain a lot of general info using this reading material. I`ve been very amazed how frequently I use this to look up woods at places like to restore and salvage spots.?

[@heathertaylor-willockx3632]

Beautiful work and great carpentry. You can see the difference real craftmanship makes!

[@Tmanaz480]

So many nice handmade touches. The elliptical curve, the hand-fitted slats, the nails. I can see this becoming a family heirloom.

[@1sixscalecrafter351]

Hi Further Fabrication, The Witcher's Wooden Alchemy Chest // Woodworking Build turned out Super Fantastic and Awesome! A work of Art, indeed. Excellent Job! Thank you for sharing your time, talents, great ideas, easy to follow instructions, and your Super Creative Fun Videos. Take care, wishing you the very best, and I hope you have a creative weekend. Subscribed, liked, & shared. thank you for the free Art Work download. Peace & Joy

[@ChristopherSalisburySalz]

This chest is freaking awesome!! You could easily sale these things by the dozens.

[@mykaelnyx8821]

It was a really cool video, the thing I most appreciate is you actually talkin and describing what you were doing and how you did it

[@icysteve46]

Very nice. I made a round top chest for my girl friend. I enjoy doing all the engraving with a router attachment on my dremel. I printout on paper my design then use clear packing tape across the whole design. then use a ball point pen and firmly trace it into the wood remove the paper and go over it in pencil to make it easier to see. I make my hinges out of wood. I even make wooden pad locks and keys, hasps, pegs instead of nails. In the end your project takes on a more primitive or rustic man handled look. I learned how to build a small foundry on KZbin and I'm messing around with making metal accessories for my projects. I'm finding that to be more challenging than I thought, any way that's a great chest. and the Witcher 3 The Wild Hunt is by far the best video game I've played. Happy and prosperous New Year

[@seannorwood5841]

Wow, amazing job on this build! Excellent use of traditional & modern woodworking techniques, plus great design & artwork!

[@DanHoke]

Great work. That chest is pretty bad ass. A trick I sometimes use for silver screws is to dab a little cold gun blue on them. It gives them a nice color without any thickness.

[@talacocheta9001]

Thank you for recommending this, KZbin. New sub because that's just gorgeous!

I hope you signed it somewhere, an artist needs to sign their work and you truly are an artist. That box is amazing.

I haven't actually involved myself in anything "The Witcher" related, which i may have to rethink now, but I very much love this build and the craftsmanship you are capable of. This is reminiscent of the Hobbit/LOTR series or Skyrim/Oblivion theme which I am into. You just earned yourself a new subscriber and I can't wait to see what else you come up with.

[@nowankersallowed2115]

So much talent. It's a great way to revive history and appreciate the older generations giftings by recreating with various materials. I love seeing the abilities others have to show in a creative productive way. The ability to make individual creations is talent that can help inspire others not just in making but appreciating history on a whole new level.

So beautiful! I would like to say, though, that when using runes, you never use double letters, so for example the word "letters" you would write as "leters".

Amazing .. I wish I had seen this when I was in highschool woods class... Of course that was way before You Tube :)

[@dennisshoemaker2789]

Great Work! I love your toys. I made a chest for my son when he was younger and the decoration was beating it with a chain, running a rip saw across it and some drumming with round sticks. Of course that was done before cutting the top off for the lid. After lots of sanding, I used a walnut stain and spray lacquer. It turned out great. I would like to see this chest made with a vintage look. The designs would be amazing aged .

Awsom Build I've always had a thing for Steamer type trunks and this is just over the top with fictional element it is great. Will definatly try my hand at building one for myself. As I don't have an ingraver I will do the art work by hand

[@carmenroupp653]

I love this and I want to make one my self. all I need is the tools that I still do not have. By the way you made one big mistake ,never use nails in a piece of furniture that is made of wood always use either wooden pegs or wood screws because in furniture nails will at some point rip the wood apart and then it will have to be fixed or even that part taken out and replaced. Where as wooden pegs ( which are the best to use ) or wood screws ( only if you must use them ) will last a life time and beyond . So if you wish you can hand it down to your children when the time comes. Thank you for the video

[@Stillnapie]

Really? Nails have been used in furniture for thousands of years. You have no idea what you are talking about, nails do not rip wood apart. Hell you don't even have any tools so how can you know...???

I used to write in the Futhark alphabet as a kid. Or rather a variation of my own creation as a code. I love the text on the face. "evil is evil lesser greater..." and although I couldn't read the last word from the video I can only assume it to be the famous quote from the novels..."Evil is evil, greater, lesser, middling, it makes no difference. The degree's arbitrary, the definition's blurred. If I'm to choose between one evil and another, I'd rather not choose at all."

[@hurdygurdyguy1]

Nicely done! Dovetailing and joinery by hand is labor intensive and you did a great job! The one detail I would have done differently would have been to cut off the round heads of the nails prior to hammering them in as square nails give the chest a much more "antique" look (and since the pieces are glued anyway it's not critical for the nails to hold everything in place)

[@Eleivana777]
