At first glance I thought the same, but there is a lot of custom hand finishing involved. They are really nice boxes. The problem is China could knock them off for $2 a box for a really crappy copy that most people wouldn't notice the difference and would pay $19.99 for.

It’s great! My shed has been completed and it turned out nice looking and sturdy and it is way better than the sheds that many of my neighbors had put up. Of course, I'm pleased with the outcome and this Ryan’s kzread.infoUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans was extremely useful to me as a guide.

Enjoyed seeing the different jigs they "invented" to do various steps in the box making. I admire all the hard work they're doing for such a worthy cause! The boxes are very nice and will be treasured by those who get them!!!

Thank you for documenting this Jon, as someone who also does a lot of production work myself it was really cool seeing their thought processes and aiming for efficiency.

That was fantastic! Much thanks for taking the time- both off the task, and recording, editing, posting. Generous insight.

Love seeing the production setup, nice work!

Great video. Shows just how to work around a big project,- love it. Thanks for sharing.

Good stuff. I have bee hives, and the “man made” panels are terrible to fit together … but Flowhive hives are laser cut, and they are a thing of beauty. Just perfect. Saves so much time at the assembly stage.

Beautiful boxes and loved watching this amazing process.

That gluing jig is pure genius! Excellent video.

That glue roller, we had the same thing going some 40 years ago, I did some designing back then for boxes that was used in the jewelry industry you know the small box you open for girlfriend and there is the diamond ring. We made rollers like that filled with pva glue so the workers would feed a roll of decorated paper on the top of the rollers and cover the whole paper in glue which they stuck onto the "naked" boxes. Worked very well.

awesome shop and build. great teamwork

Awesome process & great box!

That guy just before 12 minutes 👍👍👍👍👍👍 smiles and pride in the work. F yes!

Is someone really paying $100 per box? Wow, I wish I had customers like that! Well done. I am envious.

Love the GSJ guys so much that I'm a Patron. Thanks Jon for making this video. I've been hearing about these damn boxes for months. It was great to finally see you document them making them. Hell, I might even design one, cut it out on my laser and have one for my kitchen. P.S. I love the way you guys are collaborating. Hope to see you in 2023 at Maker Camp!

This was awesome to see. I just purchased a Thunder USA Laser and may try to make some of these or something similar. Great content Jon.

Very nice. If you ever decide to upgrade that laser, you will be blown away by the Trotec. I just snagged by second Trotec. Massive difference in speed and quality. Nice work!

Looks like my next project is building one by hand. Thanks for the tips.

Interesting to see a small run of production like this, thanks, Jon! Really good point on how prepping all that 3/8 stock would have been a huge time sink,

Very nice boxes. Cool is Bob.

Wow just wow , thanks.

I'm a big fan of Brad and Kenji, but I unfortunately missed out on the first 2 preorder runs. It was really cool to see the work that goes on behind the scenes to make them. And hopefully I will be able to get in on the next run.

Very good , looks priceless ❤

Lot of interesting problem solving

Love it when worlds collide. I’m a huge fan of Kenji’s channel and remember when he announced this project. Kinda forgot about it though and didn’t think I’d see it resurface on your channel. Very cool, Jon,

Thanks for the information 👍 Awesome ❤️ Good luck ✌️

What a fantastic video of process and efficiency and the detail required, I just hope you guys can make money from this fine workmanship This was one the best walk through videos on KZread. The most significant message here is the investment of machinery to make this very well made box.

If you gonna suck up do it bigger, don't say it's one of the best on KZreadsay it' is THE BEST walkthrough not only on KZread but on planet Earth and if anyone else makes boxes they should watch this first and if it doesn't turn out this good, throw it away and start over. And if after 3 tries it's not even close, (which it won't be because this is the Michael Jordan of boxes) then either quit and find another job to do, or give up on everything because clearly failing hasn't taught you anything.

Thank you for the help in solving a problem I was having with the hinged joint on my own box project.

Made America! I love it🎉

This is very cool - all of it: the project, the cause, and the process. I love the scale-up-to-mass-production process. Like, I don't enjoy the mass production itself. Rather, I enjoy the figuring out a more efficient way to do the production. My biggest problem trying to do things like this (on a much smaller scale, obv) is not getting wrapped around the axle trying to make the process more efficient at every step. In fact, I had to take my iPad out of the keyboard folio and watch the video a second time because the first time thru, all I could think about was how would I try to do each of the steps, and I kept finding myself opening Notes to write something down. For example, in the block plane step, I'd have probably mounted the plane and a reference 90º board in the vise to save the time having to insert/tighten/loosen every piece getting planed.

Awesome video and project! It was really neat to see how you problem-solved for a project of this size. Do you think you will sell the laser cut files?

How interesting. A lovely box, and the way the guys are looking for efficiencies and ways to streamline the process is intriguing. Doing something for 'production' is certainly different than something custom, or one-off. [that laser makes nice cuts]

good job done!

Tight shop doing good work. Damned surprising there’s still people doing this in North America.

Hello, Suggestion: For the finger groove, rather than the full long finger groove… make a jig to push the box into the knife on the router table so the result just a centered round groove. Your thoughts?

Great stuff! We’re stoked to have worked with Jeff and Rob on these.

Is it just me or was anyone else sad when the striking detail of the burn from the laser came off the joints of the boxes. Fantastic attention to detail in every aspect. Congratulations.

Looks great and they paid that bit extra to share the work around.

I wonder if the shaper bit can go high enough that you could run the boxes upright. I’d also consider using a cove bit so you don’t create that hard inside edge. This was really cool to see the process and kind of how it is evolving. Heard about this on Working Hands a little so it’s nice to see some visuals of what they were discussing.

Great work.

How many watts is your laser it's a nice machine I have it omtech 100 watt Right now I cut a lot of pine wasn't sure if I could do hardwood or not just curious on your power

Nice work on the details in the video for those watching. It goes to show the hard work it takes to make these things. Some people don’t understand the cost in equipment, time, material, and such. That $100,000 is not pure revenue either. Good work! I am curious why you all chose to go with a laser vs. a cnc router? A CNC router would use less power, machine may have cost less, could have cut more material all at once, not had the burn marks, etc.

Inside corners of CNC routers are not going to be as crisp and square. That would have to be taken care of. The engraving on a CNC takes a bit longer. The size of the CNC would probably be a little bit bigger to accomplish the same amount of capacity. More capacity, bigger machine. CNC is much louder. More moving parts. Dust collection is a pain. More waste with a CNC. Also, their bottleneck is not the laser capacity. It's the manual labor going into each box. They don't need the extra capacity of a CNC. There are a lot of reasons why the laser makes sense. My ideal shop has a cnc and laser setup, but for this type of product the laser makes a lot of sense.

I’m wondering if using a CNC router would be faster? It could cut the rabbits and round-over, and even engrave the names, saving the router / shaper steps.

Charity is best way to sell product. No one will buy this box for $75. But they will for $100 if $25 goes to a charity.

I actually liked the boxes unsanded with the contrasting edges a lot more that the finished versions. I liked them a LOT more.

This is awesome. Also a big fan of Kenji’s channel. Very interesting to see this being made.

Extremely tedious and lots of work but the are beautiful. Good cause too !

Keep craft alive!

I'm wondering if there was any reason why they couldn't rotate half the pieces 180 degrees on the template to interlock the joints repeated pattern to save a lot of laser passes and time. Or why they couldn't get a little bit wider pieces of wood to template them all 90 degrees rotated so they share the flat sides to save on material and a bunch of passes for time.

@stevewalsh5479

3 ай бұрын

One reason not to optimize the cuts in that manner (one pass cuts the fingers for the adjoining pieces) is that the kerf of the laser on thick material like that would make the joints very loose. If you notice when he assembles the box, the joints are perfectly snug. They would not be if the same cut was used for both sides.

Pretty interesting indeed , Jon! 😃 Beautiful little boxes indeed! I really liked them!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Fabulous! Been waiting for these to come back! Chee Hoo! ❤️😬🤙🏾

Awesome video Jon! Obviously a ton of work goes into making those small boxes. It's nice that a portion of the funds are being donated to that charity! On a side note, I would have made the top of the box 1/4" wider in order to negate having to cut out that channel which would save a lot of time. 👍👍

@wombox1

Жыл бұрын

I agree, but extra 1/4" would made them harder to fit in shipping boxes.

Should be using UV 3M Light Cure Adhesive for instant curing with no clamps! For $100 a box probably cheap to contract it out by the look of it, should be under $20 a box tops!

Nothing to it but to do it…great mindset

Great to see how much thought you've put into the process. People think cutting parts using a laser takes the craftsmanship out of the process. Clearly not!

New follower, great project. Thanks for sharing. Are you guys in Longview, Tx?

Very cool! Why not make the lid a bit wider and forgo the rabetting step?

Fascinating to see the step-by-step process. And I’ll echo the praise of Ocooch Hardwoods- clean, clear lumber and plywood at a fair price.

Nice Dude! Greetings from Germany ;-)

For the lid opening just use a single biscuit "hole"? Right at the top of the front panel.

This was really neat to see the neat solutions they came up with to create a repeatable production run. . The idea of the back fence to prevent snipe is brilliant to me. I've had that problem but never really found a solution for it.

Well most quality fences can be offset on the outfeed side to account for the snipe but his way is quicker to setup.

Laser is way quicker and cleaner on a job like this. He also said they needed the laser for the engraving of the logo. The cutting was basically a bonus.

Should be a good project for everyone involved. People get a nice bespoke hand made real wood salt box. Charity gets a sizeable amount. Good steady work for the company building them. Laser is a no brainer for this project.

People commenting on the $100/box need to understand that is the retail price people were paying for this celebrity-chef signed salt-box and $25 of that goes to the charity. Jeff doesn't say how much he was paid for the run of 1000, but look how much effort went into those boxes that tied up his shop for days on end.
