Ultimate Cantilever Sewing Box out of Reclaimed Pallet Wood

[@jamescraig5421]

Thank god there are people like you all over the world keeping all these skills alive.🙏🏼

[@Joe1935429]

I spent most of my career in manufacturing where pallets were a part of daily life. To see what you do with them after their so-called "useful life" is over is amazing and so gratifying.

When my father was in junior college he made a cedar chest about 4 ft long, 2 ft deep and 20 in high. It is a treasured possession of mine that I store quilts in. When my grandfather died he gave up woodworking to run the family farm but would occasionally make small things. He would have disappeared into your workshop and never come out again.

[@GeekyBoutiquey]

I have stacks of sewing projects lined up and my excuse is always that I need my stuff organized first. Now that I'm learning carpentry, maybe I should make one of these. One of the first things I made when I had an interest in woodworking, was a tool rack for my small apartment where I would have all my tools at hand when I needed them and then I made a tool box in carpentry class. So no excuses for delaying any woodworking projects. 😉

[@trueleyes]

VERY NICE, your wife must be head over heels with your gift to her.

[@Zogg1281]

I've just discovered your channel and I'm watching your builds back to back at the moment. The problem is that I'm running out of words to convey what I think and feel about your work!! You have a fantastic eye for design and every video I watch is more amazing then the last and it's all done with pallets!!! I'd love to have half the skill you have 👍

There are sewing boxes and then there are sewing boxes. This is a sewing box if I've ever seen one! Wow. Seriously ultimate in terms of cantilever-ing storage. Great work. Loving the gleam that the Briwax gives to everything - you can really see it in the fold out montages, the light glints nicely off of all the wood. And really enjoyed the use of the two tones for the handles/cantilevers against the dark-stained body. Lovely project once again!

[@EpicUpCycling]

Thanks very much, Andrew :)

[@boydmerriman]

I love the old tools he is using. Doesn't explain the tools, or talk about them, doesn't explain what he is doing or why, he just does his job quietly and you watch and learn. I love that old radial arm saw, I miss the one my dad had. It has a quality of use that a compound miter saw doesn't have....long cuts in minimal space.

Hey Jason - I'm leaving you this comment on my favorite video of yours. I just want to let you know that I'm a big fan of your channel. I watch your videos daily as background noise and sometimes even at night to help me fall asleep. This last year and a half has been really stressful and I just wanted to say thank you for the amazing content you produce that has helped me de-stress on a daily basis. I have a 3-year-old daughter and she knows who you are and asks me if I'm 'watching Jason again' all the time. If you know 3-year-olds, they always ask why. Why are you watching Jason again? And my simple answer is that watching you makes me happy. You make me happy, Jason. And I thank you for that.

Und so weiter! This would sit next to my weaving bench and I'd have everything to hand. It's so much better than the standard cantilevered boxes because of the drawers underneath.
