Making a Timeless Keepsake Box // Matching Grain at Each Corner

#woodworking #boxmaking #giftideas
In this video I create a beautiful classic keepsake box in white oak. I take an extra step which give the box a grain match at each corner. It also features a beautiful bevel on the lid and a shadowline feature around the base.

That’s a like, a subscribe, and a comment from me!
After watching this whole video, I was absolutely SHOCKED at how little subscribers you have, this video is better than most I watch from people with 100k+, but I’m sure you’ll be there soon, and now I’m here from the beginning!

[@RangeWoodworking]

Thank you Benjamin, I truly appreciate your kind words. It's comments like these that make the additional hours filming and editing worth the work!

05:50 simple calculator for measuring for base is use the length of the dado on the box panels, subtract 1-2mm to allow float for seasonal changes

[@RangeWoodworking]

Thanks!

Great video, as usual! Its great to see some content creators still posting actual build videos, rather than top 10 tools, top 10 tips & tricks, tool reviews, etc. YT used to be a place to learn. Unfortunately, it seems as if its becoming a big Sunday morning - a place of infomercials all day long.
Thank you for posting a great video!

Thanks so much Tony, that's very kind. You've made my night!

Nice video. Grain matching adds such visual appeal. Glad to see someone else shares my opinion about splines on a decorative keepsake box. It's just a box.

[@RangeWoodworking]

Thanks so much! I know it's CZcams heresy to speak against spline but I really think they're over-utilised, I'm glad someone agrees

[@choochoodebut3059]

Just saying thanks for the presentation: a genuine honest woodworker just doing what we do. the aus accent is appealing too. I found your videos because I also researched/purchased a Harvey table saw.

[@RangeWoodworking]

Thanks so much! I'm certainly enjoying the new saw, I hope you enjoy yours too.

Loved watching your video, your descriptions and editing were pleasing. The end result was amazing, beautiful piece, very skillfully done. The amount of effort that went into this is respectfully too much for me but the final product is worth it if you have someone to appreciate it!

[@RangeWoodworking]

Thanks so much Michael! I agree, it was a lot of work but it was for a dear friend so it's time well spent!

[@roblahoda]

Very nicely done! Cool to see how to do the 4-sided grain match too! It would be interesting to see some videos showing you organizing/rearranging/optimizing your shop since you have to deal with such a small space. My shop space is a little bigger but I still have to be deliberate about how I lay things out and move things so any ideas about how to improve are very helpful.

[@RangeWoodworking]

Thanks Rob, yeah I think I'll definitely have to build a few more permanent stations around the edges of the shop. It should hopefully improve my workflow and storage. Eventually...

[@roblahoda]

@@RangeWoodworking Yeah, I totally relate to "eventually". I have so many projects on my mental to do list that it's hard sometimes to just focus on what I can do right now and go with that! Keep it up, your projects are great!
