Hi. Thank you for watching!

Mate, that’s beautiful. The contrasting woods make it. Well done.

Extremely beautiful box, I love the choice of hardwoods you have used. Again, absolutely beautiful.

Wow, very neat. I actually enjoyed watching you do that from start to finish. This is one I will definitely try. You make it look so easy because you have all the right tools and your commentary did help quite a bit . Thanks for sharing that.

Beautiful result! You are a very good teacher and you make it easy to understand the build process and you inspire confidence that anyone with patience could make this keepsake box.

Beautiful box, really enjoy how you explain the process on how you completed the box, really helpful for us that are just learning. Thanks

Hi Tom. Thank you very much.

That was great to watch and very informative. The base turned out really well with the two different woods.

Beautiful work! Your video on the P-C 4216 helped me a lot with mine and this is just another example of an outstanding teacher doing what he does best. Thanks for a terrific lesson. I'll send pictures when I get mine made (unless I'm embarrassed by it).

Great video with tons of useful information. I like the way you explain things and answer my questions as soon as they come to mind. The box turned out beautifully.

The box is very beautiful, and the skill put into making it is some of the finest I’ve seen. Very beautiful indeed.

That is beautiful! Thank you for sharing!

Your work is amazing, and you produce wonderful videos! I love how you get the family involved!!!

Outstanding video and beautiful work!! Thank you so much for producing it in "real time" and for narrating exactly what you are doing, and why you are doing a task in a particular fashion. It is GREATLY appreciated by we beginners!

I have learned so much from you. I like how you explain things like I have never done this before because many times i have not do it

One of the better how to videos of woodworking on KZread. Simple and easy to understand. Sincerity is evident without the look at me how great am I attitude. Good job.

I have been struggling with a polyurethane and even a spar urethane over my exotic wood projects. I will switch to lacquer. I love that your shop looks like a real shop not a movie studio full of the most expensive tools on the market.

Nice work. I, too, like making boxes like this and I also enjoy working with hardwoods like purple heart, padauk, walnut, etc. I do a couple of things differently. I noticed you cut all the pieces for the top and the separately milled each one, and then beveled the top on the table saw after the box was completed. I mill the top with the babbet joint and do the bevel before I cut it into 4 pieces. Just easier and faster for me. Also, since I don't have a massive enough band saw to handle such a wide blade, I cut the box in two pieces on the table saw. It also eliminated the need for a sanding board since the blade is cutting with the grain on all four sides. I do like the hidden hinge configuration. I use tiny super magnets for invisible closure of the top. Thanks for the video.

I saw several comments about the amount of glue you used. I too thought it was more than needed but it also reminded me of an old saying my mother used to tell me. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"! I had rather over do than under do! Nice work!

Beautiful box, I enjoy making them myself and have found them a great gift idea personally I have found them great wedding gifts as any nieces and nephews are getting married these days. I am adding this to may favorites and will build for a July wedding gift walnut and curly maple is what I picked up yesterday, thanks for your upload this is a good project.

Hi, Thanks! I think, walnut & curly maple would make a fantastic combination!

Great project, loved it. A couple of tricks I've used to keep my lid from slipping in the glue up is to drop a couple grains of course salt in the glue seems to hold thing in place until the clamps take hold. The other one is use a plastic soda straw to clean out wet glue on the inside corners.

Lovely box. Great skill and underdtated workmsnship. I've decided after watching this I am going to over-glue every project, just because I can! Thank you for posting your creation.

That's beautiful work, thank you for sharing your method and steps!

Excellent project, I just love the padauk and tiger maple. I will be looking for the plans. Thanks for sharing...

Hi, thanks. I'm just about finished editing a new build. It's actually a Bench Vise I made from exotic wood. I have a very highly detailed step by step "through dovetail" tutorial for the dovetail jig in it. In case you are interested. Here is a link to the pics of the finished Vise. facebook.com/kingsfinewoodworking/posts/2120812741478640

I look forward to it, my jig has been sitting in the corner of my shop for weeks now because i can't figure out how to set it up! The jig looks absolutely incredible! Its amazing the different colour woods you can get!

Excellent video! You explain the process well and your voice is quite soothing! Thanks for your tips on first cleaning exotic wood with acetone before sanding--and the tip on dipping the hinge screws in wax paste before screwing in all the way is helpful!

I could listen to you read the newspaper! Keep up the good work

Hi Jeremy! Thank you very much.

A beautiful box. Great narration throughout.

Well, this was totally enjoyable to watch.

Nice work and super commentary. I usually use walnut, cherry and maple mix. Like the dovetails too... Good job!!

Beautiful finished result!

Beautiful piece of work!

I'm a big fan of over-gluing as well. Better safe than sorry. Love Padauk! Especially the smell when milling.

Hello James, came to your channel through the Wood Whisperer and have really enjoyed your work process, projects and your teaching. This box is wonderful. Most people, (me included) would have chiseled the bottom corners square but your rounded technique looks absolutely stunning.

I am a new woodworker. Mostly a beekeeper and woodworking seem to go hand in hand. I like your channel.

Beautiful work. I don't know about the look of a door as the lid. But the dip the screws in paste was was bloody brilliant. Nice work. Also the cutting the lid on the band saw, first time I have seen that, but it obviously worked out great.

I learned a bit by watching this. I like the die trick for the finish. Nice box.

That's a good quality build although I must admit I am not personally keen on the two wood bottom, which I would have built out of a single color wood to match the box. But that's a personal choice. Always great to see your videos.
