Curved Walnut Memento Box | How to Make Curves on a Bandsaw

- čas přidán 22. 09. 2019
- A client asked me to make one of my star shaped boxes to give as a gift to someone. I picked some curly walnut to use as the base of the box, and I found some maple for the lid, which has an amazing flame grain. The box has swooping sides that give it a graceful look. To get that look, I used the bandsaw and spindle sander, slowly shaping the box until it was perfect.
I hope that this project inspires you to make something cool in your shop. If you do, tag me on social media so I can see it. My profiles links are listed below. I love seeing inspirational pictures!

Yes, I too randomly make sound effects in the shop. It gets a bit unsettling for fellow commuters though when I do it on the bus. Fantastic box btw.
Beautiful and great instruction. Thanks
Perfect!
I liked the idea so much that I made one of those boxes.
Billy, that maple lid is gorgeous! Yes, I make random sound effects in my shop, especially when I screw up!! All the best!
Stunning, I agree! I am going to have to try this project when I have some extra time! Thanks for another great idea!
I'm having shop envy right now. Beautiful box!
Beautiful box
Little late to the game here but I love going back through your videos for reference when I need to review a technique for a current project. I also have a Glowforge and do not have the courage to engrave a completed project. What I typically do is make a wooden "plate" with the engraving then attach with some 3M tape. I also quite frequently use a forstner bit to create a spot for an inlay. That way I can perfect the engraving then just inlay into the project. Great work, thanks for sharing your tools and techniques.
Awesome box man. Makes me think of other ways to shape a box with a band saw.
Love your shows keep up the good work!
Nice! Reminds me of a box the wood whisperer made a few years back…. Awesome videos as well
Nice. Simple and good looking.
Thanks
Nice!
Really enjoy your channel glad I subscribed 👍 and you have a tree in your basement 😯 impressive
I have SEVERAL trees in my basement!
Nice box. I noticed on this video and most of your others you run your wood through the planner on an angle. Why do you do that, does it give you a smoother finish?
Billy a nice video. I like your build video, I like your tips. I would suggest that you eliminate the music when you’re speaking or turn it way down so it’s just barely background music I know from experience when I was building my channel.
good luck hope to see more great projects.
Great project and a very good explanation on how to!
I didn't get the glue you used,,,hide glue,high glue?

Thanks 😊
Engrave a pretty pattern on the right side.
Always laser a scrap piece first when doing projects like this
Good advice especially when you have only 1 piece of special wood
Little late but couldn't you have just sanded without removing the whole engraving and then glue a piece on top? I could think the engraving would just give the glue more surface area to adhere without having to remove all that material
Love your projects! You’re a perfectionist.
But please cut the crap music, just wanna hear what you have to say
KISS
I make random sound effects all the time, not just in the shop. Out there it’s more like Tourette’s.
