DIY Cedar Box Building

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Building your very own wooden box just got easier and more fun.
You can make it with power tools like the ones I used in this video or hand tools that you might have in your own workshop.
I take you, step by step, through the process of building something so unique that you will be proud to either keep it or give it as a gift.
The idea behind building wooden boxes began out of a desire to store a glass wind chime I had created for a friend. (See the Wind Chime video for inspiration)
From that simple idea, building wooden boxes was born.
This project is perfect for you if you are wanting to make a unique gift for someone or you simply want to create an item that you can decorate and keep.
I’ve looked long and hard for unique wood items I can laser burn or decorative paint and now my days of searching are over.
Enjoy the video and let me know what questions you might have.
I look forward to hearing from you.

    They look great Just one point.I have been woodworking for over 50 yrs. Never put glue on both pieces and same with fingers and never had a failure. The two sided glue idea is from the manufacturers to get you yo use more glue

    @@allenhuckabee3764 Hi,Yes it is true( for all my project for sure) but there is also quite a few of the big makers out there that have done tests and had the same result. Same with clamping.See too many wood shows where they use a dozen clamps and tighten them so much they push all the glue out. On small boxes you can use just tape. Lee Valley sell a tape,that looks like masking tape but has a little stretch to it and works great.I have even told some makers and had thanks from them

    @@johnthompson3462Probably was derived from the proper use of CONTACT glue where both pieces should glued and semi dried before joining.

    Nice design - appreciate your vid. I like to use tape along the inside of each side piece right along the shoulder line, if you will, of the box (or dovetail) joint. That way any glue ooze is more easily removed after box is glued together. I look forward to building a couple of these.

    Immediately following this video Johnny was killed by his wife with a small mink paintbrush 🖌 😂 I really like your choice of materials. I use the same fence pickets as mounting boards for mailbox post builds. You've given me some good ideas. And my wife and I LOVE hatch chilies! Let us know how they come out!

    That was very interesting. Where did you get that router table top jig you use? I need to pick one of those up! Not the jig for the finger joints, but the one for rounding the corners.
