Nice. I love my I-Box. One quick tip for gluing up the fingers is to lay all the sides down with the inside facing up. Put some painter's tape right up to the edge of the fingers to prevent the squeeze out from getting inside the box. Then simply apply glue to all the fingers facing up, no need to go into the joint as the opposing finger will have glue on the correct mating surface. Much faster and cleaner. Keep up the good work.

Great project Dave. I also really like New Zealand pine, nice to work with.

This is the video that began me following the Drunken Woodworker..... I always thought that name was a weird choice 🤔I like Make Something much better. 6yrs later I just dusted off my I-Box to build a resting place for my best friend. His name is Tut... King Tut the chiwennie. I have to send him to heaven tomorrow morning 🌄😌 Thank you David for years of inspiration, motivation and entertainment.

Ha! New Zealand pine is way more beautiful than North American pine.

Nice project, and the shavings are a fine touch. I bought the Ibox but haven't used it much after I made a batch of drawers for shop cabinets. It is a nice jig, I need to get it out and get familiar with it again.

Awesome. I almost bought one of these jigs earlier today at my local Woodcraft. If they actually had it in stock, I probably would have come home with it.

Awesome video! I have added this to my list of projects to do and will pick up your plans ! Again great video!!!

I used a lot of that wood when I started woodworking and love it. I but our bed with it, matching nightstands and much more. Very nice to work with but expensive. Thanks for the great project idea. We give wine from a local vineyard and this would make them extra special.

Very cool wine box! I like the use of the box joint jig-when a project calls for it I'll have to decide between paying for that incra or making my own!

Man, that Incra jig looks sweet! Great wine boxes and I hope you make lots of sales. Shavings are much better than packing peanuts.

Good job presenting~! I'll look closer at that box joint jig. I have a few similar on consignment. I used miter/ spline joints though. Did a few with simple rabbets too. I have been experimenting with making the slide top of 3/4 mat'l, then let the finger hole also work as a bottle balance. Noticed when you clamped the sides, you have the clamp (almost?) over the end of the board. (5:26). That won't pull the sides in when you have finger joints, of course, and I don't think you will have much luck making the board shorter with a clamp! Move in from the finger joint a quarter inch.

Great video David. The I-Box Rox.

use cedar for the shavings,nice aromatic addition.

A plug for Stumpy and Mithas, I can make 4 boxes at once and 1/10th the time it would take to use the incra jig. No joke. Granted I do it all the time, but still. They are both worth a look.

Wow, that would be a great project for some of that thin wood I sent you.

I have watched this video a few times and it gets me every time. "Now we begin cutting our fingers" Wait what? Oh. you mean the....

The box was awesome but the shaving top the project off, Great idea.

Wooo New Zealand!

Hey David, I don't know if it helps you with the Incra guys, but you sold the Incra iBox jig to me. After comparing all the different options, diy and factory-made, your video finally made it clear; I needed the iBox. It arrived today and I hope to get started using it tomorrow. Thanks

@MakeSomething

9 жыл бұрын

Thanks! I have no affiliation with Incra although they did send me an email saying they liked the video.

Great Video. I have two questions though. At 1:156 you mention drawing line on the bottom on the cut pieces. At 2:46 you say that the lines must face the inside. If the lines are on the bottom of the pieces how can they face the inside? Does inside mean toward the blade away from the operator or does inside mean moving the wood from left to right making the cuts? Sorry if I am not making myself clear. I am a beginning work worker and need very clear instructions so I do not mess things up.

Awesome video, thanks! With the wine box, do u have to line up the groove for the lid (side panels) with a inner part of the back joint so it doesn't show on the outside? & is that why u don't groove the end piece too?

Pretty neat!

Great vid man I'm a noob but could you also use a chisel to chip out the fingers as well?

Just a quick question, how to did make the backing to the box? Was it another slip fit piece or was it a board ripped to fit?

Great stuff, David! I know what I'll be making my in-laws for the Holidays. Now that you've got some experience with it, how long does it take you to change out the whole blade/cartridge assembly for the dado configuration on the SawStop?

@MakeSomething

9 жыл бұрын

Thanks! Probably 3-4 minutes. Maybe less once you do it a few times.

I also have the ibox. Have you tried using it on a router table?

Great video. Is the placement of the groves critical so the groves don't show up on the ends after assembly?

@MakeSomething

9 жыл бұрын

Thanks! Yes. they need to be only on the 2 long pieces and on the short finger if that makes sense. The 2 end pieces do not get grooves cut.

Hey great project! What brand dado blade do you own? It looks like you do your woodworking in your basement near your boiler? If it has a pilot light starting system be careful of sawdust near open flame! Sawdust is explosive in large quantitys.

@MakeSomething

I'm using the Frued dado set. Costs around $80 USD. I try and keep all sawdust away from the pilot lights! Thanks!

It's interesting that many of your projects are related to liquor? I wonder why? Like the way you used stock lumber and cut it up so much it became a large quantity to meet your needs! The Incra only cuts one piece at a time correct? Whereas the others you mentioned will cut more than one (depending on thickness of course)? Very nice project. Thanks for sharing.

@MakeSomething

9 жыл бұрын

MRrwmac You probably could cut 2 pieces at the same time. I haven't tried it and it wasn't mentioned in the directions.

Nice. You only cut the bottom rebate on the long sides - do the short sides not need to provide support .? Cutting a rebate with finger joints of course exposes the cut in the fingers on the outside unlike a miter joint.

If you wanted to use this to make drawers that use box joints, what would you say is the maximum height the jig can safely handle? In other words, what's the widest drawer you could safely make?

Hi Dave. Do you have a sketch about the thing you use on your table saw (you can see it at 1:26min). What stop do you use and which rail for it? Great video by the way. Regards from germany Steffen
