How To Make a Wooden Watch Box (Walnut and Maple)
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video I show you how I made a watch box that can hold up to 8 watches. I used walnut for the side panels and hard maple accents. It's made with mitered joints and splines to add strength and to make it look more attractive.

As both a watch collector and a woodworker this is amazing on so many levels. Good job.

Love this build. I really appreciate your sharing the dimensions and process. Thanks.
Thanks for posting this. I followed along and made my own but used plexiglass for the top instead. Your instructions made it much easier.
Great job! Thanks for the nice editing and voice over. Makes a big difference 👌🏻
Awesome build! Looking forward for new builds! 💯💯👍
Wow.. you have all the tools in the world to make things on your own. Amazing 👍

Yes! However I'm a little limited in tools to refinish wood, specifically I don't have a jointer, a planner or a bandsaw so I will have to work a lot with the tools I have to make it nice. The good news is that I have a bunch of pallet wood around and found some boards that are exactly 1/2" thick, that will save me the step of resawing the wood. Also my watch collection keeps growing, I have about twenty watches plus lots of straps. The box will be either big or very tall 😂.
Really like your presentation style. The box is very nice and love the grain match--- just a suggestion for your next one is to mortise in the hinges and the front hardware to take it to that 'next level'!! Looking forward to watching other videos so I'm a new subscriber. Thanks!
Really nice job bud... I think glass in the lid would have added that extra wow feature and exhibit the watches inside. Excellent make tho, love walnut 🤙🏻

Superb. I’d happily have one of those on my shelf. Prefer a glass lid though.

Great video. Very helpful way of explaining along with your editing. How long did this build take to complete?
Most watch boxes have see-through tops. Because they want to display their prize watches. Would have been better with glass lid
Nicely done, you should sell these cause I would buy one or two. 👍

Amazing work and very well done video. I'm just starting to get into doing small woodworking projects for myself and my wife. Where do you get such high quality lumber? The lumber at the big chain stores is such poor quality.
Wow look at all the gadgets he has
Could u make the pillows and maybe velvet up the insidd
wow good job..i love it.. how much for to do another?
great video and nice build. I like the support hinge ....im looking for a new box myself. you think soft close would work here?
Just recently came across this, awesome work! Question, are the notches on the corners required to hold it together or is the glue strong enough on its own?
Can you tell me where you got the hinges from. Thanks.
Stumbled on your channel and enjoyed your video. What blade did you use to resale you wood?
Qual o nome dessa ferramenta que você usou pra deixar o disco de corte em 45 graus?
What is the watch box length and width
Hi, beautiful work, do you make them for viewers? Asking because i am looking for something like that.
Do you by chance know the differences between Odies Oil and Odies Wax?
Hi. Can you tell me the slot width and length, thanks !
Great job. May I ask where you purchased the watch pillows from?

Thank you! I purchased these from Amazon.
Very nice, but plexiglass for the top would have been better so you can see the watches when the lid is closed.
What did you use to wrap watch bands around, bean bags? Nice video!

I used some "watch pillows" I found on amazon. If you search that you'll get a ton of options. Thank you for the support!
What are the dimensions of the box? I only heard 4" tall
How can i buy with you and how much bucks
Where did you get and what size watch display pillows did you get?

Thank you, I appreciate that! We had many life changes that put YT on the back burner. But I'm trying to make more videos now.
Why is no glue applied to the top and bottom cover?

The wood will expand and contract over time, especially if humidity changes. By not gluing the panels, you allow them to move. If not, the wood can warp or split. Probably not much of an issue at this size, but good practice.
Lmao i can't even find walnut wood within a 400 mile range
this video makes the $300 watch box worth
I did it with the Woodglut plans.

Hahah agreed.
A nice project ruined by having the hinges exposed.
First, I realize this is a 4 year old video, but some praise, some criticism, then more praise. Please stick with me throughout my review. I hope to make something as beautiful, however, I can tell you are NOT a watch guy. Nobody wants a watch box without an exhibitionist top view. Glass or plexiglass glass would be preferred for the top instead of a closed container. You did not make a watch box, you made a box that just happens to be able to hold watches. There is actually a difference. Your selection of hinges just screwed onto the back is appalling. You made a gorgeous box, then slapped crap hinges flat on the back. No recess or anything. Please use some nice brass hidden hinges for future iterations. Same goes for that horrid clasp. Your thumbnail shows a full watch box with watch pillows and displayed watches. A “finished” project, yet, you never cover ANY of that info at all. Just a basic box build. For all the “you have all the tools” haters, eff them. Your vid is for a watch box, not a watch box with no tools… I always dispose those comments. Why do people watch these videos and NOT expect to need some (several) tools to complete a nice project. Idiots… FYI, Newton Makes posted a version of this a year ago. Did he modify your version? I don’t know, he did address almost all of my complaints though, so if you inspired him, job well done Sir. He does however sell a video series tutorial for $25 for his box. Maybe he owes you some royalties? Again, I don’t know. At the end of the day, it is just a box. Thanks for sharing the dimensions and the majority of your process. Matched, continuous grain for the win! I hope you are still making and creating projects and content. Great job, the only way we learn to get better is to keep learning. Thank you for the inspiration to try one on my own. I hope your client was happy with the results.
so much work for a trash looking watch box
How you gonna not tell us about that cool poker-card trick you used as spacers when installing hardware?
