Hand Carved Oak Blanket Box Chest made from Reclaimed Furniture 

There aren't enough words to adequately describe this gentleman's skill, creativity, preciseness, patience, and attention to detail. His pieces are absolutely gorgeous.

The viewing community confides that these are, without doubt, some of the most satisfying uploads available. Good one again sir.

I didn't know Stephen King had that level of carpentry, excellent job!

My back hurts just watching him carve all this.

As always, your commitment to detail and patience to carry through is both mind boggling and inspirational. Thank you!

This is coming from a place of kindness, but I almost hate how easy you make this look. Absolutely stellar piece and your craftsmanship is just out of this world! I have been watching your channel for years and I really hope you have a few decades ahead of you because everything you do is just another masterpiece.

If I were a blanket I would want to spend my life in that blanket box. Watching you work is like watching a good movie with all the surprise twists. You are amazing

Anyone else hit the like button before video even started (I have to watch ads). New videos from Epic (heck yes it’s a like).

The sheer number of hours and patients you put into that carving is amazing! I am both humbled and in awe! Thank you so much for teaching and sharing with us!

*All the best in the New Year 2023*

I will call you Mr. Gold Finger .LOL Every time you touch some wood , it's gold that pop out of it .💥

This man has the patience and precision of an old Tibetan monk! 😎

Sometimes, I simply can’t believe what you can do with an old piece of wood that someone else would throw away. That is stunning! Thank you❤️🤗🐝

I love watching your projects! Every time I think you make something beautiful and intricate, you make a few more embellishments to it that elevates it even further. Also, as a fellow content creator I appreciate that you don’t speak, or show the complete process of the project, but rather you show how each step is done on one little section and then jump ahead to that step being done. Your work is done in a way that keeps my brain working on what and how you are doing something so that if I wanted to try it too, I feel like I can do it. 👍

Assign yourself an hour rate that is befitting your craftmanship. Multiply that with the number of hours you put in to make this chest and realize you made a priceless piece of furniture!

Jeez! Mate, that job is beyond anything a mere mortal would attempt, the patience alone needed is beyond belief!

I'm a simple woman, I see new epic video, I click.

Shit that is a lot of work! I can't even imagine doing what You do Jason. Everything that You make is just beautiful! Jason I can't wait for something new on Your channel and good luck in Your future projects!!!

Every once, in a while, a star falls from the heavens for the whole world to see. You, sir are that star.😮

Whenever I see you have a new video up, I know that I’m going to be blown away! Amazing job!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I am certain that you hear this all of the time. It is your patience as well as your attention to detail that just shows through in your craftsmanship. This is part of what the world is starting to lose. I can stack woodworkers by the dozen that are out there. You are a Craftsman in the true sense. What people may miss in your 30 min videos is the real time and dedication to your craft. You never rush. You never take shortcuts. For the most part, you use tools that even a basic woodworker has on hand. You use well selected used wood,which is of good quality in its heart, with clean grain and superb dryness. It is the culmination of all of these things that sets you apart. Your videos are inspiring if not a bit intimidating. Again it comes back to your patience. Thank you for always sharing your work with us.

Wow. Woodworker, artist, the patience of a saint and the doggedness of the ant moving the rubber tree plant. Thanks so much for this. It's a beauty.

what i like best about your work is you never force the wood you work with it and respect it

If you've ever wanted a visual for the definition of "craftsmanship", this is it.

Sensational. What precision woodworking, talent, design, and beauty! A piece to be proud of. For many years from now, it will bring pride to any family that keeps it.

Your creations are amazing! Ive come to the conclusion your brain is wired differently from most people. The way you carry out your designs with no drawings in front of you is just mind blowing. Im hoping we see more of you in 2023! 👏👍😁

Are you kidding me with this one! Beautiful! I don’t know how you even come up with the idea and then translate it to measurements

Who knew Stephen King had a master craftsman for a brother. All kidding aside, this is outstanding.

First, there is no way I could have kept all those lines straight in my head, secondly thanks for another great video and last hope you and family had a wonderful holiday.

You know I was thinking to myself as you were making those pins “Are they going to be structural or decorative?” Turns out they were both. As usual, your work is amazing. Just the patience alone to do all that carving is impressive.

Holy crap, you are blowing my mind right now! I have watched at least 10 of your videos (they are all amazing) but the hand carving you did after drawing all those pencil lines !?!?! And now making these black-topped dowels round just from carving them all by hand?!?!?! And I am only about half way through the video. 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

This is absolutely beautiful! Anyone would love to have this to store their blankets, quilts, and afghans.

That one channel where you grab a beverage, close the door and take the time to enjoy watching a master at his craft! Bravo! 👏

While all your projects fall in the 'Epic' category, this is in the OMG category! The combination of art and geometry you use to get the carved panel is mind blowing! I shall remain eternally grateful to you for teaching me this technique.

Patience and vision is a mark of a true master craftsman, you my friend have those traits.

Thank goodness you went with an easy design. You should really add the hours it took to make your 'art' pieces.

My mouth dropped open when I realized where you were going with this. Absolutely astounding! I don’t know where you get your patience. Mine would have stopped with drawing all the lines at the beginning. Amazing work, thanks for sharing with us!

I just finished a grueling week at work getting ready for, and completing, inventory. Now for some "me" time. With an empty house, I grab a coffee, throw a few sticks in the fire, settle in on the couch with my blankie and start your video to see what masterpiece you're creating. You never disappoint, another beautiful piece completed. It brings me such joy to sit and watch it all come together. I can only imagine how you must feel! Thank you from all of us in RU-vid Land for sharing such wonderful content; again, your channel is a joy to watch. 😄

Well done! A true Renaissance artist.

you have raised the bar for everybody now

This was amazing sir! You have the patience of Job. I've been sitting with my mother-in-law in the hospital for the past 2 days and I just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed this project. It truly was the bright spot of my day.

This is the most AWESOME BLANKET CHEST i have ever seen absolutely BEAUTIFUL xx

You've got a thumbs up just after you cut the first piece. I know it's going to be stunning. 👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Seems a soft oak. Can't imagine english oak would have carved so nicely. Damn fine work.

There's no end to your patience and craftsmanship. You're a true artist.

I can't believe the amount of work that has gone into this project. It is truly stunning.

Sooner or later everybody praises a video like "it is the most amazing, impressing, etc." thing I've ever seen on yt". And now it's my turn. Extraordinary. Thanks for this epic upcycling :)

It's like I was hypnotized watching this. Amazing work!

The meticulous carving just blows me away every time. Beautiful work.

If I saw a chest with such a wonderful design pattern, I would have asked myself: How did the craftsman do this? Now I know how, and I must commit: it`s a very sophisticated work. Congratulations, Mr. Epic!

An amazing carving job. I like that you showed all the planning steps and graphing.

I just watched you make that blanket chest on my Roku tv!! I have never seen someone so meticulous and detailed. That was just amazing to watch and it turned out spectacular! Thanks for sharing.

A piece that will be passed down through generations, I'm sure. Amazing work, as always!

Oooo! It would be such an honor to have such a carefully created piece such as that in one's home. Job well done!

Now that is a thing of beauty! Thank you so much for showing us the journey from humble beginnings to heirloom piece.

Omg...that blanket design was a nice touch. Enuff to make any woman wana stick around. 🙏

I feel like I’ve spent a week at a resort after watching you. Amazing patients and attention to detail is phenomenal

You are the ultimate recycler! I love the carving on this piece and that little iron corner clamp just stole my heart. If you're really going to put blankets/sweaters in there, might want a bit of window screening on the inside of the carved front to keep the moths at bay.

The pierced detail is spot on. Now I know how it is accomplished.

I wish I could come to your workshop and just absorb everything you could teach me about craftsmanship.

Wow, such a stunning piece. I hope it went to someone special who’ll pass it along to the next generation with love. Thanks for sharing!

I'm only 8 minutes in to the video, but holy heck the amount of time this must have cost. So much respect for the work you put in to all your projects!

The intrigue persists until the last minute! As always great! Bravo to the Master!😍👍

I do believe that you can make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. You are simply amazing. Thank you for sharing.

I get excited when I see you’ve uploaded a new video because I know it’s going to be EPIC. I’ve said this before you sir are a master in the woodworking art. I can’t wait till the next video

Уважение Мастеру. Красиво и точно, говорю как ювелир с 40-ка летним стажем. Очень здорово.

Ummmmm....wow! Personally, I'd probably have gone cross-eyed trying to do all that layout and carving. A wonderful chest!

Dear Sir, love the carving work you did. Amazing how the basketweave appeared out of a grid of holes. Well done.

The detail in this piece must have been so time consuming but so well worth it when viewing the finished masterpiece. A master at his craft again. Thanks for letting us mere mortals watch.

Just unbelievable, exemplary skill.

Mind blown! It is eternally reassuring to know such skills are alive and well! Thank you so much for sharing your genius.

First... Great work, really great! Second... Can someone please buy this man a miter saw?!?! Or at least a miter fence for his table saw?

The work of an absolute mad genius. The amount of patience and commitment to the process is unparalleled. Amazing work 🔥🔥🔥

I was watching this on my Apple TV and I do not have access to comments on that device. I got on my computer specifically to leave this comment to say MY GOD THIS IS A MASTERPIECE. I teared up just looking at your art let alone watching you make it. You are a true inspiration.

awesome piece of work the wait was worth it, you had no reason to apologize 😁 to a healthy 2023

I've heard it said, and I paraphrase 'trees are beautiful, and amazing - so if you're going to make something out of their wood try to make sure it's just as beautiful and amazing'. You do this twice over by making use of wood destined for the trash heap. Really, really beautiful work!

That detail and dedication is out of this world!! Hats off to you sir!!

Cripes! Just when I think the man can't outdo himself, THIS comes along... stunning! Your use of old-school tools and techniques is truly inspiring, as well. I salute you!

The trick is getting hold of recycled furniture that isn't veneered blockboard, woodchip or MDF! Ah well still good for jigs etc. 👍

Amazing! I envy You for the amount of patience You have! And all this without fancy high-tech tools or gadgets.

Jason, That chest is amazing! You are a true master woodworker!

Just wow! We always say this but I really do think might be your best piece. The design, and the design of the plan for that hand carving was off the chart. Patience of a Saint, I was expecting one of your "look at the camera and sigh" moments half way through it hahah

If that's not dedicated and otherwise impressive work, then what is! Thanks for the video. We enjoyed watching it

You turn crap into treasure chest,awsome skills. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

The patience that carving must have required was impressive. Beautiful work, as per usual!

i have followed you since years now, have seen all your videos. your craftmanship has been praised in all comments i can only join all of them, couldn’t agree more. but the fact that you react to all comments (1000+ so far) with a “thank you” or hitting like shows humbleness not only in what you do (OMG how much time you spent with that carving?....), but how you act as a human.❤

I’m always quite pleased with my efforts after I come up to the house from my workshop. Then I see your videos and think I should probably go back down, pick up my tools and try harder😂

Once again absolutely stunning, if only I had the patience.

This is absolutely stunning - unbelievable - your devotion to your work - the final result .. RESPECT !!!

Brilliant and meticulous artistry and craftsmanship. This was a joy to watch! ❤

Oh wow Uncle Jason... The chiselling and decorative dowels got me. The cravings look perfect. Must have took weeks just to do both. Unreal Masterpiece.

Your calm skills and the atmosphere of your shop exude warm fuzzies all the way through my tv screen. ……did you know my Grandpa ? Hmmm. 🤔

With each project, you set the bar higher. Amazing work!

Your degree of commitment can only be matched by the mastery of your skills. Perfect alliance to create the works you create. Thank you for letting us witness, step by step, the formation of your inventions. Much appreciated. Another great work. Cheers

The carved knot work is stunning, and the faux iron bolts, ingenious........ Thanks for sharing.

You must have the patience of a saint! Amazing work!

What beautiful work. Watching the chest design take shape was intriguing. I usually just fold my blankets into a big green garbage bag and put them in the attic. I have to completely rethink my game plan now. Thanks for a great video.

I do love it when one of your videos pops up. Seriously impressed with your skills and attention to detail. The length of the video belies the sheer amount of time and work that obviously goes into your projects. Epic! Thanks for the upload.

its just great to us old masters doing the things we like best ,please keep up the work all ways a pleasure to watch you work ,

And again i'm absolutely blown away. Simply speechless.
