- Pallet wood furniture made out of nothing but recycled pallets. In this video I'm building a wardrobe, inspired by The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe Narnia story. The whole wardrobe is made from nothing but recycled pallets. Even the nails get used.
This piece of pallet wood furniture took about 6 weeks to complete, and used almost every scrap of lumber from the pile of pallets at the beginning of the video.

Fit for an ancient Byzantine emperor, made out of mossy pallet wood by a dude in a motocross jersey. The world is full of incredible people. Amazing job man.
Thanks Nathan :)
I see alot of "palette" projects, desks, benches, etc. Usually just a bunch of palette boards glued together and finished. All the intricate detail here hides the fact that it's made from palettes. Had one not known ahead of time, I wouldn't even had figured it was palettes. If this were a contest entry, I bet it would win... awesome build. Magical indeed... something Gandalf would use :)
Thanks John :)
Very nice piece! Great work!
@@rockypergin2216 Thanks :)
Simply a piece of art...
Love it...
Congrats!!!!!
@@rainerzitterbart2001 Thanks :)
"Planer Cam" was Epic all on it's own, lol 🤣😎
Your attention to detail is unparalleled, you are a true craftsman and artist. To simply refer to this as "Upcycling" is such an understatement. This is stunning and a true work of art!
Thanks very much :)
This gentleman is why Public Schools should bring back “Wood Shop” into their curriculum! Bravo that was amazing! Popping out of the closet at the end was funny. IDK why but It reminded me of Dr Who’s TARDIS. 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks :)
Jane Doe Yes indeed. That and home economics as well. America has really dropped the ball on that. Now, everything is cheaply made overseas. It was so cool to break up the school day with shop, music, driver’s ed, and art classes. Glad I lived it.
In uk, public schools are for the rich! Plus we call it wood work.
@@gasgiant7122 I thought public schools are free while private schools are for rich 🤔
I actually teach high school construction/woodshop!
Every time you added another detail I thought, "MORE? REALLY?" because each piece was something else you had to plane down, but ultimately the end result was so worth it. Intricate, beautiful, and made with so much care.
Same here! I was like "what does he do next? what is this slim panel for, the sides? oooh it's for the crown!" Such a magnificent wardrobe
Right there with you
Felt like I was watching Bob Ross. "He's gotta be done now--oh wow that's even better!"
This is without a doubt the most impressive pallet upcycle I've ever seen. I was captivated the whole 20 minutes!
Hear Hear
Well, now we know what the "Wardrobe" in the "Chronicles of Narnia" looks like! That is the most amazing creation in wood that I've ever seen and I'm 79 years old! Thank you for sharing your magical skills with us!
Actually, this is something that was from the show Game Of Thrones. The wardrobe in Chronicles of Narnia looked nothing like this
@@garrisondodd9253 Okay first of all that's literally not true. A single glance at the description would show that. But secondly, even if you were right, who cares! This person left a lovely comment and there's no need to correct her when she shows her appreciation.
I have often thought what a horrendous waste of wood pallets are, but to see this wonderful piece of furniture made from them warms my heart. Wish more people would upcycle like this!
Pallets are one of the most recycled products. I do work at a plant that repairs and sells pallets. They pay good money for used ones and business is booming.
@@patrickdurham8393 That’s really great to hear. I see stacks & stacks at our local railway yard just abandoned & rotting away. 👍👍
@@lynnew5619 It'll all be compost and new forest in a hundred years!
I recycle pallets Into all types of things.
@@NoTaboos please be super wary of what pallets you use for firewood: most of them are treated with the highly toxic chemical methyl bromide. You want pallets that are marked as "Heat treated".
I think I can hear the pallet rejoicing. They couldn't believe their luck. They thought they were at the end of their usefulness. And then you came along.
Good one, it occurred to me too. Like a fairy tale happy ending come real.
Haha
Woodworker? Carpenter? Cabinet maker? I don't think so. You're a freakin' magician! ❤
10:10 is the point where I would take stock of how much time and effort I've put into this, and how much work is left to do, and say "Screw it, it's a headboard." Your patience and craftsmanship are inspiring.
Screw it, it's a headboard 🤣
I'm a professional cabinet maker and have been so for 35 years. That was one of the most interesting builds I've seen considering it was made from pallets.
Thanks very much, Henry :)
Henry Mostert I was going to say the exact same thing but you’ve beaten me to it. And it’s not only that all the wood came from pallets! The carpentry shop I owned before I retired has machines that sped up production, like CNC machines. I can’t imagine how many hours it took in total from start to finish!! Impressive.
The fact it was "trash" wood makes it better.
The immense amount of energy we all have within each of us was never meant to destroy but to create.
This is a prime example.
Sir, you are a phenomenal woodworker.
This was one of the most enjoying videos I have seen in a long time.
Peace.
Thanks Jan :)
@jan russ. You are so right! peace!

Gods, whatever form you want to think of, have one real superpower: creation. And we humans, the only thing that matters is the amazing things our loving and forgiveness can create. In that perception, we all are gods.
Nobel Prize of wood crafting, definitely...
This video is almost three years old when my wife and I found this channel. It has to be against some law for a man to have this kind of skill. If someone asked me if I wanted some furniture made from reclaimed wood, I would probably laugh in their face. But after watching this channel, I would buy any and all pieces made.
I’ll never look at a pallet again in the same way . Unbelievable job sir
Thanks D B Cooper :)
Drop @&$^%×@× stuning a thousand? $10,000 wow dude!!
D.B Cooper, that is a Funny username.
If ever there was a wardrobe to keep a copy of Jumanji in, then this is it.
Great idea, Jason :)
🤣🤣🤣🧻
I hear the drumbeat
Blimey! All that detail and out of scruffy looking pallets. Honestly, I have to stop telling the wife about your work. This wardrobe is amazing.
Thanks very much :)
Beautiful, I love how it gives wood a second chance. He even recycles the nails.
You are an artist and you deserve all my respect.
Thanks very much :)
i mean i kinda wish he'd've at least used rust remover on the nails, but that's just nitpicking at that point lol.
Really pretty incredible work.
Y’all did he just recycle the nails too...that’s it my mind is completely blown for sure now. I’m hooked
Thanks Data :)
When I was apprenticed as a carpenter, light years ago the boss would have us streighten bent nails to reuse if we had no work in
On nous a toujours appris à détordre et réutiliser les vieux clous rouillés, ils tiennent bien mieux dans le bois que des neufs.
I came to this video wondering "how epic could it be?" and now I see that the name fits. This is a wonderful piece of functional art. The big words fail me, so please accept the following compliments: "ooow", "aahhhh", and "wow".
Thanks very much :)
🐼 Big Bear Hugs from a 68 yr old grandma in Kirby, Texas, USA 🐼 ❤ 🎀 ❤ 🎀
This is how they made it in the good old days, made for use and made for last year's to come, not like the crap there is made today.
Fantastic to see your skills.
Thanks Jesper :)
Yeah correct ☺☺
A joy to watch. You know someone’s on top of their game when they make hard things look easy.
Thanks Alastair :)
Making it look easy is the truest sign of a master.
Hands down the best "from pallets only" video I've seen.
Thanks Gary :)
Omg. The craftsmanship, attention to detail. Made from recycled material. I wish I was rich. I'd have him do a whole wall; headboard; kitchen cabinets; china cabinet; garagedoor; front door...
The fact that this was built from pallet wood is astounding!
It works out best if you use wood.
I cannot believe this is real. I keep saying "NO WAY" really loudly, and "Get outta here!" This is incredible! I'm amazed.
Thanks James :)
All I could think of was the book of Narnia while he was making this beautiful wardrobe 😍
this dresser would be my parents’ favorite kid.
One detail of the build that I truly appreciate, is your reuse of the nails. A former boss would not want me to save nuts and bolts that I had saved from a disassembly project. He then would go and purchase new fasteners of the same sizes.
Your artistic work goes without mention.
Thanks James. I love trying to reuse as much as possible :)
The perfect joints. My OCD brain loves it when he fits the parts in so snug against each other.
Perfection is not optional.
I don't think people really, truly understand how much damn effort goes into building anything out of pallet wood. I've made a few small things out of them before for my kids and to be blunt - I would never do it ever again just because of how much damn time it takes to get the wood ready to be used. So much effort... it's insane. A video can't do it justice.
I'm shocked at how ugly pallets can be transformed into such a beautiful and magical piece of functional artfully crafted furniture. I'm not sure how many man hours went into creating this piece, but you certainly have set the bar for pallet recycling. Just gorgeous 😍 ❤️
Thanks Stefanie :)
Lol. Other people: I made a coffee table/bed/bench/etc out of recycled wooden pallets!
This guy: I made a magic Narnia wardrobe
Other people: Welp, imma gonna go now.....
When you remove the crud off the pallet pieces, it's just wood to work with. Nice piece.
I'm absolutely speechless. What craftsmanship and most of all, patience.
Thanks :)
And time a lot of time👍
The most impressive thing is that he did it all by himself. Assembling such a large piece of furniture single handedly is impressive
Totally agree. The quality is impressive but what I admire most is he just did the work. Got it done.
No he didn't. All professional maskins did it for him
@@annashealthylifeeverything8583 As well?
@@annashealthylifeeverything8583 what? 😄
Words fail me! You, sir, are in a class by yourself!
The song “it costs that much cause it takes me fu**ing hours” comes to mind!! God level woodwork! Truly a master of his craft
I used to work making roofing slate. Because of the weight of the slate the pallets we used were made of oak and maple. Sometimes the boards were a foot wide. They were beautiful to look at just as they were. If the pallet got too damaged by a fork truck they were thrown away. I often tried to think of ways to reuse them but my wood working skills are pretty rudimentary, nothing like this guy. Imagine what he could do with foot wide oak and maple!
I work in manufacturing now and we are always getting huge pieces in on these giant high end pallets. I always look at them with envy. Mostly maple. Good wood. Not the junk of a standard pallet. But they get reused a billion times. Not allowed to take any. 😞
How about recycle and put the word out you have some. I'm sure you wouldn't have them long. And more beauty would find a way into this world. If we work together we can do anything.
I’m confident this guy could turn wide Maple into narrow Pine.
Gift card was always the most exciting. I’m 67 now and just beat the Coronavirus. I watched this video and I am so inspired. When I get out of this bed, I will make something. You, sir, stir the most incredible creative juices anyone ever has. Thank you for enough inspiration to last the rest of my life. You truly have an incredible gift! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Elizabeth. Glad to hear you're recovering :)
Oh Elizabeth, that must have been horrific. God Bless you 🙏 and speedy recovery.
So glad you pulled through !! You go girl !!
Awesome💛. Pls put your video out, even if it is not as great as this, it will be sure to inspire♥️🙏🏼
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Before I read your description I said to myself: "Myself, that looks like something out of Narnia"!
Regardless of the source of the wood, what you created is nothing short of astonishing. You are an artist and I'm absolutely in awe
I cannot fathom the creative, engineering and mathematical talents/skills needed to create this magically beautiful wardrobe. 🤯 mind blown! Thank you for bringing us along for the ride.
Very well equipped shop with a man who knows how to use all the tools to their maximum capability especially the grey matter between his ears ! Well done sir.
Thanks very much, Rick :)
And to you sir... very well said!
Hahaha!!! EXACLY!
It wasn't the brain, nor the groin that was used, but the Heart and not the fart. Remember that son.
Final exam is, "here is 10 palets, make something." Lol awesome
How do people not like this...this is magical just watching...maybe they don’t like cause he’s not walking us step by step on how to do it...either way I’m freaking amazed 💕
@@waseemmajid5734 NO
Trust me...right now with nothing but doom and gloom on the radio, tv, email, social media...every minute of the day...things like this put me at ease even if just a moment
It was done step by step. He didn't provide measurements. A smart person can come up with their own.
I still think there was more wood involved ... i dont see how he used the wood from those pallets to build that entire cabinet. That cabinet has a LOT of wood and the pallets were skimpy on wood
the music!!!!....lol..but i love the video...so skilled..awesome man lot of talent
❤ привет из Москвы. Это фантастика. Я первый раз вижу такую работу из пашет. Браво❤
This is definitely the top 1 pallet upcycle I've seen, by far!
Who in their right mind could give this a thumbs down?
True craftsmanship, fantastic build!
Thanks Chad :)
👍Your welcome friend, God bless
Probably from other wood workers who can't even make anything half this nice even with brand new materials. They're just haters and jealous probably.
IKEA

🤣
Hi, it's really hard to believe that this wardrobe is made of pallets. It's beyond anyone expectations. You are not just a master but also a talented one of wood and design.
Thanks very much :)
@@EpicUpCycling I know the endless amount of compliments is probably taking up your inbox but if you see this, you're a beautiful human and I hope you're doing well. Amazing work.
Looks like something that can be the ticket to Narnia.
I had to show my wife I asked her to guess (seeing on the end product) how much that wardrobe cost she said thousands!!! I showed her what you started with…. Amazement is all I can say!!!!!
I just about died when he straightened the old rusty nails to reuse them.. you are amazing, Sir!
Thanks Shirley :)
waste not, want not... make use of all available resources and save a few bob at the same time 😉
@@grandy2875 Well said :)
😂
Shirley Gelinas my grandfather used to same, he lived in a time with nail and hammer and going to the hardware wasn’t quick and fast like nowadays.
I'm in absolute awe.
(Bows down)
"We're not worthy, we're not worthy..."
Thanks Amy :)
When it comes to recycling this man is on another pallet.
Эти доски даже и мечтать не могли, что станут таким красивым шкафом.
That was the best 20 mins I've ever spent on CZcams! Thank you for that.🙏
Thanks you :)
Stunningly beautiful. That was a lot of work. I couldn't begin to imagine how many hours work was put into this. But an absolute masterpiece is the result.
Thanks Barry :)
This is a youtuber who doesn't have to "remind" me to "hit like and subscribe!" - I damn near broke my phone hitting like and subscribe. You, Sir, are a Master. It's so damn beautiful, and you made it out of garbage.
Thanks :)
Это не просто красиво! Шикарно! Это.... просто нет слов от восхищения!
I think the above "made out of nothing etc..." misses out that there was obvious mastery in skill and knowledge required to make this piece of furniture
Thanks :)
Right! And professional tools, too. 😑
And an entire factory of super expensive tools and machines.
you forgetting one thing.....knowledge is OK....but I disagree on skill.....he is using best technologies and tools to make it work....can he do the same thing with simple tools like, hammer and saw.....if yes then I would say has skills too
Really amazing job.
Who said minimalism is a good idea???? Look at this beautiful maximalist art work! 😻😻😻😻
As I said after watching your medieval sideboard I'm blown away again!!
You're a master craftsman, but you know that already. So I'll just say, WOW!
This man can make some serious money if he's not already doing so.
Grandmaster carpenter! Wow. Still trying fathom why 600+ people would down vote this. Unbelievable lack of appreciation.
Thanks Grant :)
@abc def that's deep.... like that wardrobe.
Those People would Boo Santa Clause :)
They're jealous. That's the point 😉
That’s not carpentry, that’s fine cabinetry making, ebanistería.
This was 19 minutes and 40 seconds of pure delight. I love seeing an artist at work. The joy was both in the journey and the result. Thank you.
That's amazing that you only used pallets for your project. I'll bet it's still really heavy to move. Good video
I have always been impressed at how much of an improvement taking the surface off old wood and refinishing it makes, But you took it to a whole new level. You took wood that most people would think was utterly useless and made a masterpiece out of it. This is something truly special.
Thanks very much :)
after even further thought whats just as impressive as the passion and craftsmanship is the fact that your builds are flat packable and easy to dissamable and reassemble, the quality and thought is unbelievable, good job sir i feel inspired!
I totally agree with that statement
Amazing
omg that is the most beautiful wardrobe I've ever seen, can't believe you've made it out from pallets. breathtaking!!
Unreal. You knocked it out of the park on that. A guy from my home town was a truck driver and collected "trash" pallets, the old ones made from some type of rough cut oak. He made a lathe that could turn 2x2 pieces that he got from the bottom boards into a spiral cut. He then used these for spindles, which he used making the stair case/loft railing in his house. The whole thing is made from pallet oak, banisters, spindles... and it is stunning.
I'm always like "yeah I can do that" at 8 am but by 9 am I remember I'm lazy, dont have tools, and lack the creativity
I think one of the best features of this is that the front not only has the intended square pattern, but due to the grain direction change it also adds an almost ghosted diamond pattern.
Forethought, inset experiential extraordinaire.
I'm not easily impressed, but THIS project got my respect... Next level creativity and craftsmanship.
This is a piece to be handed down through generations and treated with loving care.
Thanks very much :)
I want to take time to say thank you for recycling and repurposing all this wood and other materials. I’m sure the Vanir look very kindly on you my friend. Keep up the amazing hard work you do!!!
Thanks very much :)
Stunning workmanship.
That’s not carpentry, that’s art, with a bit of magic thrown in.
Thanks Newts Nest :)
Actually its woodworking. Carpentry is making houses.
Yes, of course!!!!
Wonderfull resyclin Art of a very high leval!!!!
Truer words were never spoken. Simply magnificent!!
This is the most phenomenal, inspirational and beautiful thing that I’ve seen in a very long time. The creativity, the skill, the art involved in the entire process, what a joy to watch.
You’ve absolutely made my day and you’ve made me think about the fact that things don’t have to be what they seem to be at first glance. Those dingy old pallets, made into this gorgeous piece of artwork... mind blown.
I’ve seen many beautiful pieces of reclaimed pallet wood furniture before and admired them but what you’ve done here is really beyond compare. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent and the fruits of your labor that you clearly loved creating. Marvelous! 💗
Thanks very much :)
It's amazing something so beautiful could be made from scrap; it's absolutely fantastic.
WOW! I though it'll be a scam, but you really made it... I can't believe it. So impressed.
Wow, that shot going THROUGH THE PLANER at 1:13 was awesome and surprisingly scary. Love it.
My god that was amazing,THE BEST PALLET WOOD PROJECT EVER.......
Thanks Taz :)
Craftsmanship is f-ing unbelieveable
Second to none
That would've taken me 100 years to do. Great job looks good.
Thanks ☺
First , this is a masterpiece !!! You are extremely talented !!! Second , it made me feel close to my Grandfather . He loved to do things like this as a challenge and for the fun of it . He has been gone for a long time . So thank you for the gift of his presence . 💖💖💖
I usually end woodworking videos feeling like if I owned the equipment I could accomplish the same thing.
I am in awe of the patience and precision involved in making this wardrobe. 🙌
That is beyond stunning. Anyone would be lucky to have a wardrobe half that stunning in their house!
Omg…omg…omg…! Wow! Are you serious? Omg! Thank you….so stunning! My mouth is hanging open, flies are going to be a problem if I don’t pull myself together! Dude! You have just gotten the NINA’S NOBLE BEAST AWARD! Omg….I was sighing, watched your video and now I have the ZOOMIES!
That's the masterpiece that anyone would probably eager to leave to his children as a legacy. Marvelous work!
Wow first of all the beauty of the closet, and the patience, and the accuracy, and all that wood taken from something that was thrown to waste, I work with recycled wood and I know how much work it takes, I really appreciate your creation and work, thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks for the comment, Yossi :)
It's a masterpiece! Your creativity with this project really came through and you still do all this with pallet wood, absolutely brilliant!
Thanks very much :)
I opened up this video to put me to sleep but i just couldn't stop watching, the amount of joy i feel when watching nice content✌️👌👏👏👏
Oh yeah...
Thank you CZcams algorithm... show me even more how talent free I am...
Very beautiful! Good damn job !!!
Thanks LittlePimboli :)
I'm just over a min in and already this is the first time I have ever seen someone send a camera through the planer
I enjoyed making that shot :)
@@EpicUpCycling it enjoyed watching that and the rest of the video. Great job! Eventually I'll have a shop I can do this stuff in...it at least attempt it ^__^
Totally putting his audience into the experience. No detail overlooked. The Michelangelo of wood-working.
I know. That was Amazing!
1:10 Daredevil stunt.
Simply. WOW!!! this is ART in all his splendor,, it makes you wonder why Jesus was born a carpenter
There's nothing like true craftsmanship
IF I ever get a garage ... or a space to work ... that project has singularly inspired me to take up woodworking at some time in my life.
Randy Zeitman
Ha. It’s so cruel, watching this without having access to a proper workshop, isn’t it? Story of my life. So many creative ideas, but not the space or tools, to ever make them come true!
@@raraavis7782 At this point, with the space I have, all I can do is learn to cook better omelettes.
I would still be impressed if you had used top quality timber. This is a masterpiece & to actually use pallet wood is unbelievable when you see the finished item. Massive pat on the back sir.
Thanks very much :)
Then it wouldn't belong on an "upcycling" channel, no?
Lol this was the most elaborate way to come out the closet
CZcams should add more the one Like button for such work! I don’t know what else to push after watching this! Good for you
