This was in my “recommended” feed. Thoroughly enjoyed this build. Beautiful, and you were very creative in your process! Excellent video and build!

Dam son, that is some fine work. Lucky kid!

Enjoyed this build. Did you know that green painter's tape has more stretch to it than the blue. This makes it much better for glue ups because it will apply more clamping pressure. I found this out watching another vid a guy did about all the different tapes that are used in shops. I did a mock up test and sure enough my joints were tighter and squeeze out very iniform uniform. Also bought a roll of SpecTape that was recommended. Worth every penny.

That's an awesome treasure chest, i made one similar years ago (20+) for my son he still has it, main difference i used all brass fittings. Cheers

Very very nice. Journeyman work. I'm retired from the merchant marine and long wanted to build a seaman's chest. The seaman's chest was tappered to the bottom to fit against the curved hull of the ship and camel topped so no one could put anything on top of it. Your chest is just excellent. The details! The lift out tray, the hinged bottom compartment, the cedar panel, all just first class. Thanks for your generous sharing of your work.

KZread dropped this video in my recommended feed, and I was surprised to see you only have 140 subs. If the Almighty Algorithm has found you, you might be getting an influx of new subscribers soon!

Nice job Sir. I would love one of them.

What a beautifully done treasure chest. How do you decide on which size tacks to use..do they actually have holding power or are they for looks only..just a few questions you've given me some ideas for a future project. Thanks..

Excelente trabalho!!!

Very nice!

what was the angle you cut for the lid. I love this chest.

Awesome! I've made a couple of smaller ones, but could you leave links to where you got the hardware please? I know you made the straps.

How did you arrive at the angles used making the top? Also how do you like your Jet combo jointer/planer? Would you buy it again? Reviews I've read are not good. Thanks

So, I'm sure there's a more mathematical way to figure out the angles, but my method was to draw out the profile of the end of the box. So I had a 12" deep box, and I knew I wanted the overall height to be 12" including the lid. I then played around with drawing different arcs with various radiuses until I found one that was pleasing to the eye. With my radius drawn, I knew I wanted 1.5" staves with a flat one on top, so I drew the top stave and then continued drawing 1.5" lines around the arc to see how many staves I would need. Then I drew a line from each point of the staves back to my center point where I drew my arc, and simply used a protractor to measure that angle. Again, this was a crude way of figuring it out, but I didn't have time to sit through a math lecture, haha! There's an image of my layout on my instagram which would probably help you understand my explanation a lot easier. instagram.com/whitehurstwoodworking/ I've had my Jet combo machine for about 8 years and its been great. I haven't had anything break, and overall its been a pleasure to work with. There are a few shortcomings with the machine, but I can overlook them when it comes to comparing the value of this machine to the much more expensive European machines. 1st, I wish the beds were polished instead of the surface they have. This doesn't bother me as much on the jointer bed, but on the planer bed I notice the stock can stop feeding through if I don't keep it sprayed with some dry lubricant often. 2nd, is the fence. It serves its purpose, but I wish the adjustment and locking mechanisms were more robust. With that said, I never cut bevels on the jointer so I set my fence to 90* and leave it. As a serious hobbyist with limited space and budget, I think this machine is hard to beat (especially with the helical head which I have). Now that I'm doing this professionally and I will have more space soon, I am looking to buy separate jointer and planer to avoid the changeover. Hope this helps!

What process and product did you use to paint the aluminum? Thanks

@whitehurstcustomwoodworking

Жыл бұрын

I scuffed the aluminum a little with 220 sandpaper and spray painted it with rustoleum farmhouse black paint in the satin sheen. Seemed to work pretty well.

what angle did you us for the top?

@whitehurstcustomwoodworking

Ай бұрын

If you find me on Instagram, there’s a picture of how I laid it out and came up with the angles which will help. Most of the staves have a 5 degree angle on each side which when combined means each joint is 10 degrees. Then, the last two staves on each side each have a 25 degree angle for a combined total of 50 degrees each. It all adds up to 180 degrees.
