Mass-shortening of the piano hinge screws was worth the price of admission. Been faced w that hassle 100 times and never thought of gang-grinding them. New sub for life...well done mate.

I bought this as a gift for my friend kzread.infoUgkxcZqgZ8Ynkiz5n_LxIWRlAicuzmz5kCHG who is just starting out in the world of wood work. He loves it!! There is a great section on different wood and what to use for what kind of job and a similar section for tools as well. The projects in it are things you probably would have a go at with clear instructions, pictures, videos and diagrams throughout. Great for a beginner/amateur wood worker.

This brings back memories, I made something like this 50 odd years ago while at craft school, we called it a sowing box. My mum claimed it as her own, and when she passe my eldest sister claimed it. As far as I know, she is still using it. Keep this channel alive, your doing an old man great pleasure.

I've just started on wood projects after spending nearly 30 years on computers. I've made a few smaller items, as well as one fairly large piece of furniture (built-in for a 65"). Your videos are so detailed that by the end I have absolutely no questions and I feel like I could tackle some of these on my own. Not too the level of perfection yours have of course. Thanks very much!

I was so excited when I came across this video. I had looked for a vintage sewing box for ages and finally was handed down one from a family member. Yours is so lovely and I hope your daughter treasures it always. This cantilever design is incredibly handy.

It seems like such an involved process, step after step after step, with lots of moving parts.... but you've managed to break it down into a manageable feat! Awesome work.

I made one of these about 10 years ago as a birthday pressie for my GF, I used cedar and made box joints, I had no clue how to make one, I took photos in an antique shop, and guessed the measurement, I'd not done joinery before like this or since, she still uses it as a sewing box, I wish this video had been around then it took me weeks to finish but she loves it.

At 1:31 he's already setting up the sequel in the series. Very cool to keep us in suspense. Great video!

I have a shelf full of woodworking textbooks - but I found this woodworking guide, t.co/SGIXIPXR0z . The comprehensiveness of this book is surprising. It has decent coverage on every topic.?

Amazing content. Though I must break it to you: you say you'll use this for remotes. That's how it'll start but gradually it'll be used to hide things. But great project all around.

Bloody hell Neil, you keep a bloke feeling humble. Such an beautiful piece of woodworkin'.

Truly awesome cantilever toolbox !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I ever need knee replacement surgery, I'll be asking Pask first.

This is beautiful. I think you should take a bit more time to take more shots of it at the end, especially after its in its final location and filled with stuff.

Okay dude you have really done it now. This build deserves a You Tubie Award. Fantastical and you should drop the mic now.

Metal bushings in the holes on the boxes and bars might help prevent a peice of this style from developing as much slop as this box will probably develop with time. Definitely a great peice either way though.

About how long does a project like this take? We see the compressed version, but would be curious to know how many days/weeks this stretched over.
