I am a WW myself and though this is a great looking box I have to ask, "Why, in God's name, would you spend all that time and effort with doing such a great job on box joints if you were going to just cover them up COMPLETELY?!" Now, I know box joints are stronger by themselves than miters BUT, with the additional glueing of the legs on those corners, given the purpose of these boxes...still shaking my head on this one. Great work though...glad you recorded it because otherwise no one but you would have known there was anything but butt joints in the corners.

Beautiful Keepsake/Jewelry Box Dan! Tight joints, Sweet design, Gorgeous Wood selection Man! Thanks for Sharing!..... Gus

My kind of video, perfect speed. Not looking for instruction, rather looking for technique . Thanks great video.

Dudes got this down to a science, very impressive

Great Video and a thousand tips thrown in. Not a Festool in sight. Have all the tools you have so I have no excuse but to follow some of your tips. Thanks for your time from the UK

Your speed is amazing! But the results are outstanding! My compliments!

Beautiful job and result. Thank you for sharing with us.

damn I wished my planer was that fast. LOL

Great example of how to use jigs in production pieces. Great looking and excellent variety between. A+

Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing.

very excitting, thank you for this instruction video

excellent workmanship and a very nicely designed box. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes

BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Great video! Beautiful looking box!

Nice!

Great workmanship and designs. 👍🏼

Very nice, well done.

Looks great!

Dan, Really nice project. I enjoyed your video. I am just starting to make small boxes and picked up some good tips from you. Thanks. Got my Subscription John in Pensacola, Fl

Excellent!

I will do a few with some cheap pine wood before I buy some hardwood.Regular hinges might be easier for me.Thanks for the help Dan 😁

great job beautiful work

Outstanding.

Good job! Learned a lot. For example, I didn't know you could let regular wood glue dry, and then iron-on veneer. I also liked the rounded corners on the bottom. Most folks just put in a rabbit, but the rounded corners are a special touch. Real good job.

Great skills

good job!

Great boxes with the tapered legs, but I think that the video was too fast a speed and I found it hard to follow.

Nice Box!

Hullo, Smashing wee box's, a bit fast for me though. The best thing of all is that you used reclaimed timber. Thanks from bonnie Scotland.

Put yellow glue on both surfaces and let it completely dry,cover veneer w/ paper bag to protect it , iron on highest setting (thats how I saw it done). Jeff, you can go to your settings and slow it down if you need to. Cheers!

+twoweary What's the benefit of doing it this way instead of spray adhesive? Just curious, since flat panel lam like that usually takes about a minute.

Great result,but how you still have all of your fingers i will never know.

nice job too

Great looking boxes but I can't tell what you're doing half the time. This video is a few years old so hopefully in future videos you've slowed down and added commentary. We don't need to see all the leg cuts in fast forward just a few at regular speed. Thanks though, it just means I'll have to watch a bunch to figure things out.

Nice.

Damn that's a nice box, Nice work dude :)

While I did not have any problem following the video it would have been nice if you had slowed it down somewhat. Also, if you want to go that fast at least just show a few seconds of each action. I kept screaming "OK, I`ve got it move on"! That being said, great looking box. Thanks for posting.

how come you put the blue tape on box was it for glue

Can you do a video on how you make the legs in slow motion... Or just normal? Great boxes but I simply can't keep up with the "hows" of the project. admittedly I'm new to this.

The high pitch noise, from speeding up the video, sounds like a video game from a Commodore 64.

Outstanding. A beautiful design well executed. Thank you. And, btw, I LOVE the music (0).

I have that same saw. My on/off switches keep wearing out. $50 to replace. I'm not happy with the fence, nice to know a skilled woodworker can make it work.

+Jerry Ihnen My switch died, too, so I ended up cutting out a bit so that I could install a big ol' safety switch. Frustrating to have to do that, but at least it works now. It's not the best saw in the world, but it was my dad's when I was growing up so it has some sentimental value.

Ok,the only thing I am confused by is how you cut them on the table saw? Taper wise.Sure if I had a drawing it would be easier to understand

@sowiebinich

5 жыл бұрын

For the taper, I stacked a couple stop blocks on the table saw sled that would hold the legs at a slight angle and cut them that way. For longer legs there are tapering jigs that folks make, but I don't know how well they'd work on such short workpieces. Small as they are, I recommend using a hold down and a sacrificial piece of wood to keep fingers out of the way, though.

Nice work! But one question remains: why the boxjoint? You could have been using screws when you cover the joint with the legs.

@sowiebinich

7 жыл бұрын

That's a good question. In my mind there are a few ways of looking at it -- 1) the amount of labor / effort / artistic consideration that went into a piece, or 2) the amount that it's worth to somebody. With enough patience, someone will come along willing to pay your asking price, so it may also be a matter of how long you're willing to wait for that person to come along. In general, though, I look on Etsy for prevailing market prices for similar pieces.

When you were putting the veneer on at what point did you iron it, I have never seen this done using wood glue. Thanks

What's the purpose of the finger joints if you're covering them with the legs? You could have just done miter joints.

It was for adding strength. A miter probably would have been strong enough with the legs glued on, but I wanted to make it really robust.

If memory serves, they were about 1" square on the bottom, maybe 5/8" square on the top with just enough cut out to hide the box joints from the box, and held the box about 3/4" off the table.

Ok,how about the thickness dimensions? Where did you purchase the hinges?

@sowiebinich

The walls are approximately 3/8" - 1/2". The inset top is 1/4" plywood with veneers on either side, and the frame is about 1" thick. The hinges I got were SOSS barrel hinges. Be careful to leave enough material in the frame for the top for the hinges so that you don't drill all the way through.
