Than you. I've tried lots of different formats, but am coming to the realisation that videos without talking are the best medium for me. So more like this to follow...

Imagine a beautiful job and I didn’t see the first woodpecker Festool or SawStop ect all in all refreshing. Whoever did videoing great job and also appreciated the music without endless talking..

Go for it. I am moving more and more towards using reclaimed timber simply because of the cost. So much is just burned or dumped that still has life in it.

Dude, very nice build. I love your tool set and skill. I am in the process of building something very similar for my niece. The wood you rescued is beautiful (after all your work on it). I was wondering why you choose to stain it. It looked so gorgeous in its natural beauty. I also wondered why you choose to not inset the drawer bottoms. I was fortunate to see and original "Gershner" machinist tool box my grandfather used. They are truly special. Thanks for the help. I learned a few things. Cheers John In lovely North Jersey, USA

In answer to your questions: I stained the box as I did, simply because I like old wooden toolboxes that kind of colour (see latest video). It was entirely a personal choice and I do agree that the old maple flooring came up a treat.

@TraditionalTimes

As to the draw bottoms, they are of plywood so super stable, and from a design point of view I simply copied the design of a toolbox my father had for years. No reason for not using a floating base. Just again another design decision I made to keep things simple for me. The 64 Draw Small Parts Cabinet uses floating draws for sure.

Brilliant !

@TraditionalTimes

8 ай бұрын

Hi there. Thanks for the compliment. It's Briwax Walnut natural wax polish. You can apply it dry, but for projects where I want to make the piece look aged I warm the tin through in a container of hot water (to melt the wax), then splodge it on and while the wax cools wipe of the excess. Then it leaves a nice mottled aged look as if the toolbox has been kicking around the workshop for years!!! 😁

What was that tool that he was using the knock in those tiny brads/pins? Is that what they used to use in the olden days? A hammer?... Kidding. It's so refreshing to see a someone NOT using a nail gun. Stay crafty. It's also nice to see someone working at a pace thats dictated by his desire for accuracy without all the hoopla and need for jigs or apparatuses to facilitate repeatability More time is wasted in my shop trying to develop a repeatable product or process, when it's likely that I'll only do something once. It's the engineer in me obstructing the craftsman that I desire to become.

@TraditionalTimes

5 ай бұрын

Couldn't agree more. Nailers are good for quick assemblies using plywood, but if you are crafting a cabinet or toolbox, pins and a small pin hammer are more accurate, more reliable and better in general for the soul. Craftsmanship over mass production is always the best way. I do use jigs but only for the purposes of accuracy. Jigs are great for mass production but as soon as you start to mass produce, then you lose the beauty inherent in a one off piece. Mass production is in and of itself a soulless thing.

Will the glued bottom of the cabinet drawers cause problems later?

@TraditionalTimes

It's 6mm plywood, which by it's nature is very stable. Design was based on my fathers cabinet which also has glued plywood bottoms and is over 30 years old. However, floating bottoms (as per the drawers in the 64 drawer workshop organiser) are also an option). :)

Great video. Quick question: why do you have your miter saw setup so you have to lean over so much? looks uncomfortable. is it a safety issue?

@TraditionalTimes

Жыл бұрын

It's nothing more than I have parts from another project getting in the way slightly... when using the mitre saw I always stand to one side or the other because things have come back at me in the past, but I was leaning because of the parts in the cabinet underneath... and don't worry... they're not there now...

What were the two stains you used for finishing and why did you have to heat the second stain? Was it wax based?

@TraditionalTimes

Жыл бұрын

The two stains were one and the same thing, Briwax Walnut.I actually warmed the finish through both times. I warm through because it gives me slightly blotchy, well used look to the finished item. Like it's been kicking around the workshop for a while. Just personal preference really.

You're a very talented man. How many hours did the build take in total?
