In this video, I make vintage company crates replicating an old Kraft branded crate. I then customize the crates with my own brand using stamps I made on the 3D printer.

I made 500 boxes like this for a client a few years back. I ended up making stencils and using spray paint for the box art. It saved me a boat load of time. Great job on these.
Yep stencil and spray paint would be my first choice.
Did you make the Stencil out of metal? I find most stencils are too flimsy for a larger quantity of production.
The difference in the printing quality is really an advantage in making the boxes look authentic.
Unbelievably creative stuff. I’m always amazed how much you can do with what you have
Josh, I am an old graybeard, about the same vintage as your boxes. I subscribed after watching you build some interior doors with simple design, construction and ww tools. I like the way you work, using some imagination and tools/materials at hand. You remind me of Alex Steele, another youngish guy that bought his first anvil at around 10 yo, developing his blacksmithing skills over the years. Seeing young men like the two of you on your respective channels gives me hope for the future, which in your case, is very bright.
summer, 1968 - I earned 7 pennies each to assemble hundreds of this type box for seedling flats. Second day, one hammer swing per nail - no predrill, but a jig and an inserted spring bar to position end boards uniformly vertically. :) memories
I love this! I inherited a few of these old boxes from my grandfather that he kept all kinds of nuts, bolts, screws, and nails in. Making a few of my own has been a backburner project for some time now.
This was a great use of a 3D printer. the boxes look great.
You definitely got everything right! Vintage crates are precisely what they look like! "Josh Wright Wood Corp"...love it!
Well done Josh. Once again you proved it can be done if we just think about it. I always enjoy your content. Thank you for the effort.
The vice printing press idea is brilliant. Great video and the boxes look great!
Very cool project. I think even I could make these boxes. Think I'll give it a try tomorrow. Thanks for the project instructions.
nicely done. you're not the only one that loves these. I figured a stencil was the way to go on something like this but I guess a stamp is more precise.
Great use of 3d printing, neat project too.
See, this old lady can learn something new. What a crazy good idea and love the jig set-up using your vise for a press! You won't believe this but I have a Sh_ _ ton of wooden sides to old strawberry boxes. Just those and a few blank ones the same size. I thought they were so pretty I bought them for a "someday" project and now I know what I'm going to do with them. I have some dimensional lumber for the rest of the box I'll cut down in my woodshop and when I redo my kitchen cabinets, I can use them in the kitchen. Maybe I'' epoxy the inside of the boxes and use them for the herbs I'm growing. Thank you so much Josh for the idea!!! It sure is nice seeing a young man interested in Woodworking!
I love to watch your videos. You are a quite a brainy dude and unbelievably creative.
Thanks for the video.
Amazing that you done that with one 8’ 2x6. 👏🏻👍🏻
Love the printing press idea❣️
During the pre-war era (1920's-30's) consumers would buy a brand of coffee that had a nice container with an attractive design, because they would save the container for nuts and bolts. It's the same with cigar boxes, and various other containers.
Very clever young lad using the vice and making the stamp like that. I always use vinyl as a stencil, but then that's a consumable product. The stamp is the way to go, it's reusable, and less time consuming. Good on ya.
Great job, love the vintage look!
Very cool way to add a bit of graphics. I like the vice grip technique!
Those turned out awesome!!
Merch, definitely merch!
The stamps and vice jig are a great idea.
Subbed.
Great idea, lovely made.
Very cool ideas all around. Great creative thinking!
I got a bunch of Brace Bits at a garage sale and they came in a Kraft box just like yours. Now I'm going to have to make some!
Very good idea and explanation on how to build crates. Thanks
These are awesome. Nice job.
That is a very cool idea. I love it.
Good job. They look great.
Very cool idea with the stamp. Nice job, subscribed.
Printing was amazing. I want to do this when I get the chance. Maybe use extra heavy door hinges I saved to swing the print up in position. Might work, might not. Loved seeing the materials get milled out of nice pine.
Those turned out really cool
Love these!
Neat project. Enjoyed the video.
Imagine my surprise when I saw Bemidji, MN on the boxes! I spent almost every summer for a decade up there! Subscribed!
Love these. Great work!
Pretty cool and self learning stuff
Great 📹 video and instructions. Reminds me of a joke my dad (rest his soul) use to tell me. One kid asked another kid what his dad did for a living. The kid answered by saying, " My dad makes Antiques".

Firstly, I think you are spot on with cutting down the lumber into parts, the lack of waste suggests the original parts were cut down from 2x stock on a table saw (probably running on leather belts from an outside engine). The original printing was probably done on something like a 'letter press' printer using print blocks cast from a wooden master pattern - so if you go into making these to sell at markets you could make a basic letter press printer from wood and a small number of metal fixings, a couple of axles & ball bearings. You could also try making a cheaper stain by boiling up old coffee grounds - most coffee shops would be happy to give you a bucket of old grounds to experiment with - just don't leave the unprocessed grounds at room temperature as they will rot & absolutely stink the place out.
Nice video. Cool idea to use 3D printer to create stamps. Boxes look awesome. Mahalo for sharing! : )
I've got a use for some of my old pallet wood...thks for the video.
Nice job! Looks good.
I like it.
Good job.
Great job!
Pretty cool josh
Great idea!
All of this is truly amazing work, but I was caught off guard with the decision to use paint over ink. Fantastic project! 🔥
So awesome!
Nice. Well done. 👍
That vice/printing press jig is really clever. I need to try something like this soon.
Love your work
@@Tatu223 Thanks much!
Well done.
Very cool bro! I like your style!
Pretty nice
This is epic!
Super video. Thank you.
Great job, and good point on using the 3D printer more so you can get better with it. Can’t improve if you don’t try 👍
Really cool. If I may, I like you say you are not a teacher or professional, so many tubetards try and act like they know it all, you were like, hey this is what I tried and did, some not so great, leanred a little, hope you like it. And thats awesome!
Great video! Very inspiring and all done without 35,000$ worth of high end equipment!
Subscribed!
I liked the efficiency of your cuts (Work smarter not harder).
Very cool!
Excellent work. I'm very impressed with your work. Most
young men your age prefer to sit in front of video games instead of creating something with their mind & hands.
Great video.
Good job!
Nice job
Nice vintage look. One idea I've seen is to add s rabbet around the outside bottom edge and inside to she do you can lock and stack them.
Great project as always.
that was cool! who would ever thought to make there own vintage wooden boxes?
Nice Job, funny Wright Tools is right around the corner from me. Asheville NC
Great stamp idea you could also make a silk screen to put on stamps and that would give you a consistent paint on each piece
Love your witk
Maybe an arbor press might come in handy.... awesome job👍
That is nice. They look authentic. I really like your jigs. 😃😃😃
love the combination of new tech/maker tools with old world woodworking.. maybe instead of a 3d printed stamp though, use something like a Cricut to make stencils? I think that would work much better with paint. I took some printmaking in college and that requires much thicker/stickier ink and rollers to apply consistently.
Dang bro I hope I'm as good at woodworking as you are when I'm your age. Looks great man👍
This is my opinion so tell me to rack off if you like.
Imperfect printing gives it a more rustic appearance. I’ve been alive for almost 59 years and wooden crates were the norm for most goods and I’ve never seen a perfect box or print. Also I’ve not seen staples used to hold them together. Nails, dove tailed joints were the two main types of joins for the corners and base. Remember I’m in Australia so staples may have been the norm there where you are.
Overall they look great. Your printing idea was and is unique and a fantastic idea. I love what I see. Keep it up.
3d printing the stamps was smart (so long as you didn't have to buy a 3d printer just for this project). Several ways of getting lettering onto wood; they all tend to produce a 'rustic' look (ie, not perfect), but that's what this project and many like it demand.
If the results had been perfect you'd have had to spend time 'distressing' them anyway!
Like I said, and only my opinion, the stamps were a smart option, and the result was well worth the effort.
Thanks for sharing your creativity and techniques.
Very nice.
hi there that was really nice john
very nice
Great job, they look wonderful. May I suggest that you try mounting your stamps with foam rubber so they can flex and contour better. Good luck. Keep it up.
Cool!
This is awesome! I wonder if using printmaking ink instead of paint would give you more consistent results? Like for Lino cuts or woodcuts.
CZcams's algorithms somehow never seemed to show me your channel, until today. I like the fact that you're young, and picking up on a hobby\trade that many people these days are just not interested in, they'd rather just pay someone else to do it for them. Keep working on your skills, you already have one of Jimmy Diresta's ideas "If you're going to make it, make it nice enough to put your name on it" I hope that one day, you can turn your hobby into a career. There's an old saying "Find something you love to do, and you'll never work a day in your life". For making stamps like you used in this video, when you get more familiar with 3D printing, try using TPU filament, it has a soft, almost rubbery texture, or you can contact a print die manufacturer, and have them make custom rubber stamps for your projects. OH YEAH.....I almost forgot.......you have another subscriber!!!
Much appreciated, I will look into TPU filament!
You smoke detector needs a battery lol. Nice video, good job.
Your inspiration was a cheese box in it's previous life. I love those things. Mine have box joints holding them. Moving forward try a 4 inch foam roller for your paint. Possibly try ink instead. Nice work though.
Hey Josh, that is actually a Kraft brand brick cheese mold. That is actually purty cool and your box is awesome too 👍
I have about a half dozen boxes this approximate size. They are marked “International Business Machines Toronto”. No idea what was originally in them, and if they had lids, I never saw them.
@@andrewb9590 IBM?
@@sensor-sweep Yes, technically. But I don’t know enough about the company to know what might have been in the boxes. Before I got them, they were used to store seed packages.
@@andrewb9590 they were probably used to hold punchcards for the early computers.
@@WoodFrontierThanks. I think my boxes are older than that, although they may be the right size. My guess would be they held parts for actual “business machines” such as typewriters or adding machines.
It's interesting how many things you needed to figure out to do this. Nice job.
Printer's ink probably has very specific properties to make it easier to use than paint. I recall from print shop (1960's) that we used rubber rollers rather than brushes to apply ink. It's possible that makes it easier.
3D printing a negative used for casting with silicone caulk or something soft might also make the job easier with less pressure than the vise.
In any case, you got it all to work well!
Thanks! There was a lot of things I wanted to do that would have been easier/better like use thicker ink or a softer stamp materisl but I just didn't have the supplies to do so on hand so I just had to make do with what I had.
3d printing a silicone mold is really good idea by the way. If I need to made stamps again in the future I might try that.
Stole my first thought. Make a stencil with the 3d printer then use spray paint or roller for applying paint. Then the consistency of the paint doesn't matter as much.
Nice
If you were to sell those babies, Perhaps distressing them would be in order just to match the rustic look of the nails/ staples Great job. I am glad I stumbled on to your vids.
Old coffee grounds gives a good vintage look as well
Very cool project. Little notches on the bottom so they can be stacked would be neat too
Cool
You rock and roll it was good 🤣
Josh you're wrong about needing to 'stamp' these cleaner... They look absolutely perfect - with the imperfections. That is actually what a chain manufacturing process would like like from the early 1900's. Nothing wrong with your end product; they look great!
Turned out nice, a little glue in the joints would add a ton of strength!
You deserve a bandsaw! Talent!
11/16…WTF…as a german with minimal talents in math i am pleased we have the metric system!!!
Really like your way of doing it much better than my way of not making them.
Great job on the boxes. Be careful using the miter gauge in conjunction with the fence on your table saw, you are asking for a kickback .
Great job, the variations in the stamps make them look more authentic. What paint did you use?
Cool project. Had you considered or tried using a roller to apply the paint to the type?
