Building a Maple Box then a Special Trick to Make It POP!
Vložit
- čas přidán 22. 09. 2021
- I made an heirloom quality wood box and it was kind of stupid easy to build! I broke it down into a series of small steps. It starts with the basic concept of a box. Add a few curves to give it a graceful appearance. Contrasting legs really give it something extra and make the wood in the body of the box stand out. The lid looks pretty fancy, but it’s really only a few cuts, and it really brings the whole box to life. But the real kicker is the wood grain in the maple. I made the grain really pop by dying it before applying finish. It’s a super cool technique that I highly recommend you try out.

Definitely with the handle !
Are you some kind of Genius? Love everything about it. The handle is dope, must have.
I make a lot of boxes and now you have gifting me a way to think outside the box. Sorry just had to
say that. Thank you so much. Julien.
Great job. And compliment also for the simple explanation
Billy my boy you've done it again. Nice nice box. Great job and keep them coming.
Like the handle a lot. I feel like it helps break the maple lid up some. I'm getting back into woodworking after finding so many ideas on YT. Just picked me up a bandsaw and pieces of an oak tree that was cut down.
Awesome video man. I enjoy all your videos because you explain everything throughly and why you’re doing something the way you do it.
handle for sure, very nice box
That’s beautiful. I love when a plan comes together.
That is lovely. Your lesson did a good job breaking it down into helpful steps to build one. The handle was a definite thumbs up.
Much appreciated! I'm digging it too!
Absolutely love your channel!!! Your explanations are so easy to understand and your projects are beautiful!! Definitely handle!! Thank you.
The handle makes the lid. Well DONE.
Your stain over the maple really made the Grain pop. Love it. Wilber & Margaret 👴🏻🧑🦳
Two things that are awesome here, the tip about cleaning up the glue and the esthetic of the box. I am going to make this box for a Christmas present for my sister. Hey, that will check a box off for me.
Your moving diagrams are the best thing on YT.
Absolutely beautiful piece, thanks for sharing.
Beautiful box. Love the maple and wedge. Thanks
So many ideas in one video. Thanks!
I seriously like this project. So very well done.
That's a gorgeous box! Well done, sir. Well done.
Absolutely gorgeous

Nice work! You have a good eye for what works.
Great creativity and craftsmanship and great production. Thanks.

Just found your channel and started watching your videos, really like how to go through the steps to explain your process, learned a lot by watching. Thanks and keep of the great work.
Excellent video 👍 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thanks for posting it
Looks best with the handle. Beautiful work!!
Handle just completes the box, Really nice box.
Handle is perfect !
Beautiful handle!!!!!
Beautiful.. and thanks for the detailed explanation👍
That box is beautiful. And the handle is perfect for it
Lovely! I like it with the handle.
Handle. Keeps the fingerprints off the lid. Beautiful piece!
Handle 💯 makes the box great but your craftsmanship makes it perfect. Much applause 👏.
I LOVE the graceful curves!!
Thanks man. It gives it a classy look so we can look fancy even if we ain't. 🤣
Awesome. Handle makes it for me. Nice work!
great vid and I personally think the handle finishes it off perfectly. great job.
good job. I like the handle.
Handle for sure. Beauty piece, sir!
Great looking box the dye really set off
I guess you could say "You've really got a handle on making boxes". Beautiful,Cheers
Well played!
Great job! So creative! The box came out beautiful! ❤ 👍
I like the handle.
Man that is so beautiful. I love it and definitely would have put a handle on it. Great job!
looks better with a handle and the legs really make it awesome
Very very good explanation. Really enjoyed watching your workmanship, and thought pattern on how to improve a project. Keep it up. U dun GOOD!
Excellent video Billy! I sure appreciate you offering templates! I will be trying some of them. This is a beautiful box that anyone would love as a gift.
I need to go back and watch again to find out the free software for making templates.
Awesome job ! Great work !!
This is a great video that covers so many different topics in one go! The curved legs, the dye trick, inset lids. Thanks for all the clear and concise tutorials in all your videos. PS: really dig the handle on this box.
You know, I just couldn't decide! I finally had my daughter decide for me. And she said that I should do the handle. 😂
It looks great !.I've been thinking on making a nice box for my daughter in law, and this one ....oh man...! You nailed! !.it will be just like the one you made. Thank you so much.
Definitely handle. Looks beautiful.
Handle! Very good job.
The possibilities are endless and I have made a few similar I really like it
That is beautiful!! Well done! Definitely needed the handle, looks absolutely amazing!
I might do a no handle version eventually to see a side by side comparison. But I'm thinking a handle was the way to go.
Came out awesome! I’m new to the page, but one aspect that I hope some people notice is that you have a few solid hand planes, and that’s it (and I feel is all you need). There are lots of pages that have a ton of planes, when there are only some core tools that you need to get rolling. Love it all!
Perfect!!! I’m makin’ 6 of ‘em. That dye trick is what has been separating my “nice” finished projects from the spectacular ones in the plan photos. I have always loved the Asian esthetic, and this box, with the curved side bottoms, those leg shapes and then the handle honors it so well. The handle is the cherry on top of the sundae. Am I gushing? Yeah…so???
this is super awesome - great work and video !
Great classy spin on a basic project! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
The extra effort to make and install the handle is quite worth it IMO. It just setts off the box! Nicely done!!
Handle for sure. Looks great!
I like your idea on the box. I dislike sanding, so I would apply the die on the maple, cut to size than sand, this would allow for selecting the nice grain. Sanding all parts before assembly is, to me, a lot easier.
Beautiful Box... And my opinion, WITH a handle . Good job! beautiful work
Handle adds to the looks👍
Handle 👍
Very nice 👏
Un trabajo MARAVILLOSO!!!👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Absolutely amazing! The handle is awesome! Fantastic box!
Thanks!
Handle all the way!! Nice build!
I learned some new stuff. Thank you!
Great vid. Awesome box!
Handle for sure. Regardless, beautiful box and great video!
Handle. Beautiful
Great video. Great box. Like it with the handle.
Nice job! Pro handle, here....
You do awesome work, very nice
Billy, the box is beautiful. I'm glad that you went with the handle. Thanks for sharing the video.
There were so many choices and I don't think I could have gone wrong with most of them.
Hey Newton, love the design and the finish of the box, you really emphasised the grain in the maple. Such a classy looking jewellery box, thanks for sharing,
That little bit of dye really gives the box that extra pop! Thanks for watching!
Inspiring design beautifully made and finished. I would have used clear lacquer on the maple, but your finish brings out the grain.
I shall make one in sycamore and walnut as I have both.
Just found your channel - this is a beautiful box! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome background music!
Nice box.
Yeah ... like the design ... the contrast in woods is nice. I'll try maple and walnut. BTW, yeah , I got my maple stock by salvaging a very large maple tree (over two-foot diam base diameter) downed in a storm on a friend's land. Have a huge stock now .... and more than enough to make your box. Thanks for the idea.
nice design.
What a nice project. I love it. This is artistic. Thanks for sharing. greetings from El Salvador.
Very inspiring built, thanks for sharing. And for sure this handle !
Thanks for watching
Really nice idea👍
Love this brother, I'm running with it, thanks for the inspiration!
Beautiful box!! I love your style of presenting. It is educational to newbies like me without being condescending and it also shows great projects that do not require every whiz bang tool there is. Thanks for everything!!
The goal is to show my journey, what I'm doing, and why, with the hopes that it may help others. Maybe they learn something they want to do. Maybe they learn what not to do.
Nice box I like the handle 👍👍
Awesome video. Love this build.
I thought it was crazy when you said you were gonna dye it but i had stain in my brain and not dye, let alone thinned dye. Boy, did it ever come out nicely. Well done. Makes me itchy to try something similar.
Very Nice!
Definitely with the handle
