I stumbled across one of your videos and I am really enjoying them. The way you make beautiful pieces out of scrap is great. You are blessed with your surroundings, it looks a lovely place to live.
Thanks a ton! I'm stoked to hear you enjoyed both the video and the photography. Remember, a lot can happen over a cup of coffee, including making a superior video 😉. Stay tuned for more!
Just started watching your videos in my lunch break, I am getting addicted! Awesome inspiring work you are doing and great fun to watch 🙏thanks Jesper (:
Brilliant jesper , im siltly disapointed you didn't use a fire steel or a flint to make fire , But having said that i find your video very inspiring and creative .
I really liked your idea and your work I wanted to ask if the protection of beeswax is also good for trees outside the house according to your knowledge
Now that was a rubbish wood project!...Well done mate...great video. The WD40 had its work cut out for it 😂 Some of those snails were also defying physics by just hanging in the air! Chair turned out just great 👍😁🇦🇺
Holy cow, what a fantastic video, beautiful job. Although, kinda annoyed that you stole my move, you know, the one at 6:15 where everything falls apart...I have a patent on that... 🤣😄😄
Oh no, that move is taken?? Thank you for your kind comments, and it's not so often I get to practice with handtools, so I thought I'd do it on rubbish wood. As I don't have much experience to brag about I thought maybe just make a "just build, don't talk" style video to try and cover up my lack of original ideas and skills :-) thank you for your support Mario!
Hi Jesper, I have never seen such an emotional build video as this. It's a really epic journey from the snails, the cleanup, the build itself, but then you top it with the almost spiritual ending of making and applying the finish. You know I'm a big fan already, but this one.. Whoauuuw. Said with tears in my smile.
So much has been demonstrated in this video! You had me at, "Coffee Solves Everything". I found it very interesting seeing the beeswax finish applied hot, really hot! Your "rubbish wood" bench has quite a story!
Jesper, what a great project. Watching the video was like watching a thriller movie. Beautiful editing and camera pan angles. The stool came out very well indeed! 😁👍
Thank you. As a total newbie I really enjoyed watching your storage ideas video, there were so much good stuff there for me to use in my own workshop organisation, and I'll definately have a dive into your other stuff as well. The Pergola series seems to be very successful!
Thank you! Yeah I had to move the current habitants of the wood to a safer location before I started renovating their home for my own selfish use. However, I made sure there was plenty of rotten wood around for them to settle into!
Natural bees wax as a finish is brilliant. The burnishing of the wood is another brilliant idea. I just subscribed because of your unique approach to woodworking... well done!
Hi Jesper I just love ❤ your videos they are so interesting and entertaining. I decided you deserved more coffee so I joined your channel. Just a thought about the sound volume on your videos. The music is louder than the speaking parts and I wear hearing aids so I am having to adjust the volume a lot. Just a thought mate, no big deal okay. All in all you are definitely 💯% on 🎯
Hola! 🖐This is a really, really nice project and the end result is amazing. My favorite part of this video is at 6:15 though, nothing left to do but to flash that thumbs up right! 👍😂😂😂 Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👊
Hello fellow pallet wood worker. A swedish subscriber here. What are your thoughts on the Biltema bench planer? I´m thinking about getting one for my workshop. Thanks for your videos and all the inspiration.
And your channel wins the award for most creative channel name. The finish was bees wax and linseed oil. You can thin it with mineral spirits, but I did not do that over the fire, and because it was so hot no thinning was needed.
Haha, you got me there, @DeathMonky22! 😄 Guess it's a 'stool' in a bench's clothing then. Do you think it'd make a better bench if it had some companions lined up with it? #CoffeeSolvesEverything
I really don’t understand the burn thing. Seems to be a bit of a pyroclastic maniac 😅 everything has to be burnt ☺️ (see pallet coffee table). Anyhow, love the use of that guide for the router that has a curve to it to give the recess in the seat 🤩 such a good idea
I'm using the burn technique to treat my outdoor wood in general, but then my wife have started to like the dark look you get when you burn and sand wood before you treat it with finish (oil/lacquer). So sometimes I have started to use it as a way to darken wood also. I like to call that recess in the seat for the "bum groove" 😃
Rubbish wood indeed - when you have to evict that much nature it can't be much more rubbish without being useless! 😁 Love he finished looks, and the fact that you used the scraps to power the making of the said finish! 😎
I'm so glad you notice the small things, and yeah much more rubbish than this and you'll need to fill it with epoxy resin to hold it together. I have an old, rotten oak bench, and I'm thinking about doing an epoxy project out of it....
Loved this video Jesper! And it was so satisfying to watch you stop the beeswax from running over the edge just at the right time. 😂 Now I feel the need to build a stool. Great job!
Glad you enjoyed it! I have also watched your **first** video on your new channel. It may be a new channel, but you're certanly no beginner in filmmaking or presenting on camera, very, very well done my friend! And I liked the goon bag holder, brilliant project. I made a different kind of boxed wine holder for christmas 6 monts ago, a more rustic one made from pallet wood. I still get orders for it, so it's quite popular. I will certanly be following your channel and what you're up to. See you around. Cheers from Denmark
I think you win "Most Rubbish Wood" award mate... that and videography. For someone with no formal training your framing, focus and cuts are just excellent. Loved the project, and the Sumo cameo! :D
Love it ! From removing the snails (and the nails) to the yakisugi, to using the old envelope to start the fire for the beeswax. Sweet project mate and a cool af edit! 💯💯🔥 Judges take note!
Absolutely no disputing the fact that this was definitely #rubbishwood21 for sure.👌🏽 Shou Sugi Ban when done right, will give the wood years and year of prolonged life outdoors, and you seriously nailed it, mate, fantastic build, love it. 👍🏽
Thanks you Bill, I'm still experimenting with different methods of outdoor preserving of wood, and so far the furniture I have treated with Shou Sugi + Beeswax far outperforms the ones treated with outdoor lackers, wood oils etc. Do you have any tips you could pass on to me that I'm not aware about? Thank you so much for watching.
@@JesperMakes From what I've seen over the years SSB has been the overall best performing method, considering its been used for centuries and there are still structures in Japan well over 100 years old still standing and showing no signs of age or decay, I'd have to concur it is possibly top of the list for longevity of outdoor furniture! Not everyone likes the burnt look, but I wonder how it would stand up if you sand back most of the charing and use stain in the mix? I'm sure you can come up with a few good ideas that might be floating around your head on using this with different stains.😉 I'd be keen to see any results if you do venture down this path.👍🏽
Jesper, as per usual, the video is great. I’m still catching up on all your stuff, but I love everything you do. A question though, what’s the beeswax mixed with and a rough ratio would be helpful. Love it mate. Happy Tuesday from just down the road in the Outer Hebrides ;-)
Hello mr. driftwood! The rough ratio is 1 beeswax to 2 linseed oil and 2 mineral spirits. If you don't have those ingredients, try mixing something else that you have available.
hahaha, naa it's not worth that much and I don't think anyone should sell their first ever chair-build. It's better to keep it close and see how it holds up 🤓
Epic video! Really really well done. As for the project, fantastic. You have taken us all on a journey of turning truly rubbish wood into a great stool that is going to last for years to come. Great job 👍
That was such a good video. And you certainly met the challenge criteria. Definitely rubbish wood! Even after cutting much of it away, it was still partially rotten throughout 😂
Thanks 👍 I'd figured, if Mark says rubbish, let's give him rubbish. And it's really great to practice handtools skills on some rubbish wood before trying on that black walnut I have been saving up for..
If I'm serious, I'll get a table planer. It's only just so long a guy can own a table saw and mitre saw. And a router, and bits, and like good music. I love that you hate math. Some of us have geometric sensibilities. I don't think the math guys get it.
@@JesperMakes I watched your headboard and side stands video perhaps 5 or 6 times. Your herringbone style headboard is elegant all around.

Hello Jesper, Congratulations on participating in the scrap tree project. I like the curving technique with the router. Logical and ingenious. The wax and olive oil polishing technique is also great. You've created a beautiful bench (stool) from reclaimed wood. This was a good idea. Recycling old scrap wood is also good behavior for our planet. We also protect nature and the environment. good job. Thank you for sharing. See you. Stay healthy and happy. Big greetings. Dostun Mehmet (I am happy to see the label of our mutual friend Dirk in you)
Thanks you so much Mehmet. I'm also a little confused, is it called a bench or stool? The treatment was beeswax and linseed oil, and when applied hot it goes into every little crack and waterproofs it, so what was about to rot away will now stand for a long time. Looking forward to making a video with your sticker in my shop! I shall plan something special for that event! I'm surprised I didn't see you in Marks challenge or did I miss it?

@@JesperMakes You are welcome, my friend Jesper. I'm in this competition too. I am one of the first to join. Maybe he missed it. The second time you look, you'll see me. Yes, I thought flax oil was olive oil. I also use this mix. I even have a video on my channel on how to do it. A good natural polish. It has a high level of protection. I hope you get my sticker because it's been 45 days since I sent it to you. I said that if it didn't arrive, I would send a second sticker again. It's called a stool. We call it a stool. See you. take care of yourself. This stool was really beautiful. Congratulations again. ?
I have just checked your channel, and I cant seem to find the rubbishwood video. I found the summerbuilds video. Are your video set to public? Flax seeds comes from a flower plant I think.

Jesper your videos are awesome 👌 I love the way you add a story to them as you go. They're also very insightful, I think I'll have to go buy a blow torch and some bees wax! Thanks for sharing your work
This was very enjoyable!! Great camera work, amazing editing and I really liked all the different jigs and hacks! I especially liked the technics used to make the legs! Gonna try Yakisugi on my next project, fingers crossed! :)
Awesome video. I’d not seen this one before. It’s extremely well shot and edited and shows of several different skills from building jigs to multiple ways of joining the legs. Well done it’s really impressive. Ross
I was literally just looking at some wood in my backyard in a very similar state and wondering how in the world I'd be able to use it, this is an amazing vid!! That stool turned out wonderfully :D
