As a long time woodworker, I really am in awe of your work! That wood chest is an heirloom for sure! 👍👍👏👏

You know, what you are actually doing is important not only to us followers of complex and interesting pieces of art and furniture. It is also important for generations to come in that you document and demonstrate old work prosesses and skills that often were lost after the industrial revolution. My father built boats, log cabins and houses and I learned so much from him, but you are on a level that very few artisans can match. Thank you for your sharing and teaching, Mr. Epic Upcycling. No one beside you, no one above. Summer greetings from Mette in Norway:)

Uploading just as I’m sitting down for lunch and need something to watch? You’re a legend as always, mate.

They said "you can't put a square peg through a round hole." He said "wanna bet!" Truly incredible craftsmanship!!

Even after 40 years of working with wood, I still love the sound of sharp tools cutting through the fibers :P

The treasure chest in sailor-pirates stories: mesmerising 😮😊

Absolutely marvellous. You are a rare treasure Sir.

That Sir is craftsmanship of the highest level. No Glue, No Nails, No Screws, NO POWER TOOLS. Excellent work 👍👍👍 . Thank you for sharing. Take care of yourself 🇨🇦

This friend of mine, he works with primitive and simple carpentry tools, but he produces luxurious, wonderful and authentic pieces of art. This gives us a clear indication that it is not important to have advanced equipment to produce professional work, but what is important is in the mind that works. I think this person practices his work with love and passion, thank you My friend, I am sending you greetings from my country, Saudi Arabia.❤️🌹

Can I just say... Phenomenal!

There is not one video of yours that doesn’t make my jaw drop. I took up woodworking during lockdown and am only tinkering really but I think I might have a go at this if you don’t mind, the failing and learning would be just amazing for the soul. You my friend are a master

The authentic creak of the hinges completed it. Keep up the good work.

We need the same type of videos for other furnitures, table, desk,...

The art of carpentry,when people say I need this tool,or that electric tool,,just watch these videos,and learn something special,great videos keep them coming please.

This is a man who actually enjoys the process. Very patient. Knows what he wants and is not in a rush to get there.

Folks, that is what’s called professional wood working, the man’s a genius. Old, Old long forgotten techniques by most cabinet makers.

Seeing him working with the wood so relaxed and patient you realize why when God decided to come down like a human and have a job like other people, before starting teaching for love and forgiveness, He chose the profession of a carpenter.

Now THIS is craftsmanship !! Awesome build.

when his hand tools are way better than your power tools🥲😂😂 awesome work...loving that opening and closing sound💪🖤🤟

This was absolutely intense. The care and thought of making something from scrap wood to a handcrafted heirloom was mesmerizing. Thank you, I was captivated all the way.

Old world craftmanship right here. The lost or fading art of carpentry without the use of modern technology. Super impressed.

You are a true artist, congratulations.

Thanks for making something beautiful from something so mundane. There's hope for all of us.😊

reminds me so much of my grandfather's work , you are wonderful, thanks so much.

Best thing on the Internet.

Holy crap. That is impressive. You are a true master craftsman!

Fantastic. Level of skill and experience here is phenomenal. Not many woodworkers on YT that can do this without electric machinery. Thank you for your video.

a true craftsman! Always a joy watching you turn wood into something new!

So it turns out there are parts of the internet people are literally unable to hate on because of how well done it is. I scrolled and scrolled didn't see a single negative comment

Nothing said again and a perfect little chest at the end. Absolutely ridiculous! Love it.

The perfect amount of "creeeeekkkk" when you open the lid. It's beautiful.

Awesome, this is the way a work of art is made, only hand tools and lots of knowledge. Thank you for sharing.

That box is a thing of beauty. I feel so peaceful watching it come into being. Wonderful! Thank you for the lovely visit. 🖖📚🫖🐈‍⬛

Bringing back the good ol' days of how things were done before power tools! Real craftsmanship right there...I love woodworking and general tinkering, but don't have the space or budget for shop tools. It's not like I'm trying to mass produce, or on any time schedule to get a project done, and I rather enjoy the finer, by hand style of making something. It reconnects me to the past that way. Really dig your work.

Mack from MIDWEST MAGIC CLEANING mentioned your channel and I paused that video to take a look at your channel and watched this video. I don't think there isn't a pirate, including me, who wouldn't want this chest. Because of how you worked on this project (no power tools) I cast my mind back to 'those times' when these types of items were made like this. This is a wonderful video. Your style reminds me of THE NEW YORKSHIRE WORKSHOP (whose channel I love). I have given a thumbs up, subscribed, and I will watch your other videos.

Thanks for building and filming!

Thanks! Never expected to see anyone make such a fine-looking piece of friction-fit cabinetry! Last time I saw the techniques you used was reviewing the work done by my grandfather during World War Two rationing when nails and even glue were hard to come by.

Everything you make is pure awesomeness.

Looks like a baby pirate chest. Love it. Thank you . 👏👏👏

Fantastic chest, I love the wooden "nails". God bless

Liked before i've watched the video. I know it's gonna be another epic piece. 😁😊

That little hand drill brought back memories! I can hear my grandfather's voice ..stop pressing so hard, let the drill do the work silly girl! My childhood in a sentence ! Love that you've done another amazing job! You are a fantastic craftsman and I look forward to each and every project

That's what I call perfect craftsmanship - Awesome

I love watching a real craftsman at work.

Spectacular! A masterpiece heirloom. And those squeaky hinges, brilliant touch 😉

Every time I think this is the best piece Jason made. Then he exceeds the last again! What a skill and what a joy to watch.

Without a fully manual electric tool, I thought the work was sensational, congratulations friend.😊

extremely enjoyable to see an artisan doing his craft to see that someone can achieve all this without modern tools or electricity thank you c.noel vancouver canada

Every once in a while youtube blesses me with a gem. Thank you

The squeek of the hinges certainly adds to the character of the chest. A great piece, thank you, once again, for sharing your work.

Wow watching this reminds me of my dad who liked you was a true craftsman. Thank-you it made my day

Beautiful! I will be watching every single one of your videos!!!

I've always enjoyed it when you pass over the power tools and use hand tools. When I dine out, I always order something I couldn't cook at home. It's the same with KZfaq videos. I don't watch people do things that I could do, rather the things I only wish I could do. I get exited every time I see that you have uploaded a new video. Thank you for sharing these brilliant videos. 😎

Showing once again why you are the best woodworking channel on KZfaq. No gimmicks, no annoying "jokes", no shortcuts. Just high quality craftsmanship. You should have 20x the amount of subs.

Nice job,looks good. But the best was watching you making everything with hand tools. That's the way it was done once upon a time.

I love watching a true craftsman at work, great vid thanks.

great work, i did get a chuckle for you putting a square peg in a round whole lol

Ich bin sowas von schwer begeistert, absolut spitze. Echte HANDarbeit. 👏👏👏💪💪👌😍

So nice to see someone doing it "properly", by which i mean no power tools, no glue and most important of all, no epoxy! Really was a pleasure to watch

Absolutely amazing. I can't wait to build one for my grandson.👍👍

What looks like something so simple is NOT! The intricacies you put into your projects is phenomenal! So enjoyable to watch, thank you!

Sir, If I EVER get to your skill level, I could die a happy man. When I read the title for this video I knew I had to save it for a time when I could watch it a couple times and back up to take notes! I have never heard of friction-fit cabinetry before today. An amazing job and great inspiration!!!

I just love watching you work with wood. What a talent you have!!! I am so glad I a started to watch!

The creaking of the chest got me XD Its perfect

I just want to say that, watching you do all the work by hand, helps me think about ways to be more efficient and creative, even with power tools. I have some injuries that don’t allow for me to be able to build things completely by hand with no power tools. So it’s a privilege to SEE it all done by hand. Thank you for sharing your skills with us all.

Хорошая работа, давно жду ваших новых работ, это класс, без единого гвоздя, работа мастера и скрип как старая дверь, класс.👍👍👍👍👍

A True carpenter. Great looking chest.

THANK YOU FOR USING HAND TOOLS! I love the sound a #6 hand plane makes.

I love all your content but going hand tools and old school is absolutely fantastic to see. You Sir are a gifted craftsman!

*Perfection! It turned out great! Old Good School!These sounds, like in my grandfather's workshop!* *Well done master! Respect* 👏😍

You, my friend, are a true master. Just found your channel thanks to Midwest Magic Cleaning and I'm thrilled. I would love to learn how to make goods the old school way, stuff that truly lasts and looks made with heart, soul and a love for the craft.

Absolutely brilliant and amazing to watch. Lots of patience and dedication required.

Настоящий мастер! Великолепное исполнение!

As a machinist...I am in awe of woodworking at that level and talent. Cheers to you! I've never seen a dowel punch....brilliant. Thanks from B.C. (Canada)

This man is truly blessed. Amazing simply amazing every project he does. What dedication and talent. Hands down one of the very best out there. Thank you for your channel sir.

Pure skill and craftsmanship, soul healing project for any woodworker

I am so grateful to see you create another piece of work and with hand tools. My father passed on his knowledge to me and it has given me great pleasure using tools like yourself 😊

You make working with wood appear simple, but what you accomplish takes special skills. I am always in awe watching you work. Thank you for sharing with us. 🥰

This is upcycling on a whole ‘nother level!!! Fantastic job!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️

Quite a remarkable build, Eric. What impressed me most was the accurate drilling of the holes for the dowel pins. That is pretty hard to do, and done very well here.

Another fantastic video! I’m always excited when you post a new one. This build is really exceptional when one considers it is accomplished without the use of any type of adhesive, using only hand tools and without plans! You even made hinges!

I loved watching that, you've got mad skills. I wish I had the skill and the patience to do that. I hope whoever buys it off you appreciates the work involved.

One word Amazing!!!!! could watch you all day.

This is incredible!!! I didn't even know it was possible to make all-wooden hinges and fastenings. As always, I'm incredibly impressed and have a ton of respect for your work. I really admire your commitment to using scrap and pallet wood. I hope you're having a lovely June and safe from wildfires, wherever you are! :)

Amazing build. I have never seen such small wedges used in the hinges. Really great work and with no modern conveniences. Thank you for sharing!

Jointer-Cam is innovative. +1

this is therapy for me...

I am just starting to learn woodworking and you are the type of craftsman from whom I want to learn. Your work amazes me.

Wow! I've watched quite a few of your videos and always been amazed but this one is on another level. Such a classic, elegant chest box and to have made it using traditional tools and techniques showcases your skill all the more. Thanks for letting us watch your work.

A real inheritance piece - one to keep through the generations to be handed down from parent to child.

Amazing skillset and patience that can't be matched. Doing that chest with power tools would be fun, but doing this way is unequaled. Good job.

Wow! Such patience and skill. Great woodworking and a great video. Thanks!

This is how my Brother Charles (RIP❤) built things out of wood. Very strong durable & beautiful. Thank you ❤ & Blessings

hand resawing is no joke. admiration for you

Beautiful to watch. Goes to show how much help modern tools, glues and fastenings give to speed up the process. Cannot beat handmade.

This reminds me of watching my dad work when I was a little girl. I loved watching the curly cues of wood as he use the plane. I’m 78 now. You don’t see work like this anymore.

I absolutely love it! Getting you shop made dowels ( so many) to fit so well is fantastic. Your coopering of the lid was great, but most of all, I was glad to see you left the squeak in. Give it a cool vibe.. Great work.

Loved the trick of using the long clamp and a steel rule to establish the curve, that’s a new one to me. Lovely work with good tools and skill.

This is one of the coolest projects I've seen in a long time.

Unbelievable. I hope it never falls into the hands of someone who is unaware of the immense skill and craftsmanship that went into this piece. It's simply amazing. A lifelong treasure.
