I know this is two years old, but just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed the video. Regarding the multi-tool, I use mine all the time, however, more for custom renovation projects. They are extremely loud, so in the shop I prefer the pull saw.
I have made sliding top boxes like these before, using various joinery methods, including but joints like you did, as well as mitred corners with splines, and finger (box) joints. On every one, instead of using scrap pieces for the little handle on the lid, I saved the piece that I cut off the end piece and used that. It also has the "advantage" of camouflaging which end is the opening end,and looks quite good. I do also like your way of using a contrasting colour as well.
I am sure someone already said this....but get rid of that plastic push stick (or use it as template for a wooden one). Plastic hits that blade and you have a projectile. Make a wooden copy.
Hello 👋
I like the box you did - I would
fit good Malt 25yo Scotch 🥃 whiskey
in there, and - leave enough room
for a decent Edinburgh Chrystal
whiskey glass, plus the PW coaster
for a tad of “authenticity” to sit
the whiskey glass on, a tiny piece
of coal, plus a little tartan ribbon
on the box and - give it to someone who
knows all about Scotland and Whiskey
and appreciated the gift !!
Thanks 🙏
Take care and stay safe

Thanks for an informative and real woodworking video. Sometimes the others show their mistakes but not always. Makes it feel more relatable.
While watching the part making the pencil holder, I couldn't help but thinking about when I was little and building things with Lincoln Logs!
LOL! Thank you for leaving in the little bloopers! Nice to see we all slip up here and there
Haha there are plenty of those!
So not only is this vid helpful to a backyard wood maker but your times of being a regular guy forgetting something makes me smile and feel good that I'm not the only one out there.
Haha I didn't even include them all. I appreciate you watching!
Even the guys on YT with 10’s of thousands of subscribers watching them, aren’t “perfect”
I think there’s a level of normality to all of us… though some better than others, we’re all human and won’t achieve (what we deem) perfection, every time. That’s the beauty of wood working. . . Figuring out ways that work for (you) to be as efficient and effective as possible. 👌🏼👌🏼
thought was just me im terrible for it !
🤔 I guess misery loves company 😅😂🤠🇫🇮
I sound like you when I'm doing stuff in my shop. I'm constantly talking and explaining how I'm screwing up, but to the cat. He doesn't even subscribe, jerk.
Haha well I talk to my shop dog when the camera isn't on so we have that in common.
😂😂😂😂
LOL I'M GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE
I got a cat and dog like that!
That so made me laugh
I love the pallet coasters, I'm going to try making a strip of 20 of them and just cut them out instead of glueing one by one.
"It'll work better if I put the screws in first."
That statement defines the chaos that is my entire life. HAHAHAHA
Haha same...
Three great little projects. With the popularity of making things from pallets, making pallets out of a fine wood is beautiful irony.
Adding rabbets to the wine box pieces is the simplest solution for hiding the slots. Miters are cool but they can be a little persnickety. It's easy to sneak up on the perfect rabbet.
For the pencil cup, I think the oversized and chamfered based looks bulky no matter how much of a chamfer you use. Using the contrasting white oak, cut a piece the size of the box and then cut rabbets on two sides of the base to accept the bottom pieces of walnut. You get straight sides, top to bottom, and a little structural detail from the alternating thinner and thicker edges of the white oak base.
Well made video showing how to make all three projects. It was long but each segment was concise. Well done.
25:42
Neither.
I would have just used walnut.
But this is your show and it's 2 years old, so... Nice job!
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THAT SHOP IS YOUR AMERICAN FLAG ON THE WALL, AS A VETERAN I APPRECIATE IT. ALL YOUR PROJECTS IN THIS VIDEO LOOK GREAT. TALKING WHILE WORKING AND FILMING MAKES FEEL LIKE I'M RIGHT THERE IN YOUR SHOP. THANKS FOR THE TUTORIAL VIDEO. 🇺🇸✌️👍🏻
My boy did this video for us before finishing the inside of his garage walls. I might shed a tear. Thanks
I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who makes mistakes!!!!
Haha I make more than I would like to admit.
I love the screw-up with the screws! It makes you SO HUMAN--like all of us!
I’m glad you add in all the compilations that come with trade work. Not everything goes smooth all of the time
Haha I try to keep it real.
As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement czcams.com/users/postUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!
Love the errors - the real world! Audio wasn’t bad. Thank you!
for the pencil holder, it might look nice to keep the lid on and cut a square hole in it for the pencils, but it would give it a nice symmetrical rim
*REAL PROJECT* 😍😍
Pretty inspiring, 2 things I will do different. 1st I will put my finish on before I assemble, will only need to do touch ups and will save time. 2nd, instead of dowels if you mix sawdust in glue to make a paste, then feel holes saves time and is cheaper, God Bless!
Good suggestions! Also cut the dowels shorter than needed. Stain them any color you want or burn the ends then drive them in flush. I have also made a jig to create my own dowels using a hand planer blade and a drill.
@@airplayamusements5717 excellent. God Bless!
Well that's being honest about how it really go in a wood working shop nothing goes right all the time 👍
As a first time viewer... mistakes, humour, great projects and easy to follow instructions... what's not to love about this channel! Subscribed 👍
Really appreciate that! Thanks for the support!
Awesome ideas! And loved seeing you actually make each one as well to show how simple yet elegant the final product was.
Great idea 🤠💡👍
Tape under the multitool... great idea! 👍
The hard oil and wax finish on the little pallet coasters looks best to me. You are so right about forgetting the screws, it does definitely happen! The contrasting little handle on the wine box was a nice touch.
The moment I realized you made a mini pallet out of walnut... 👏👏👏
Haha high class around here.
I have made a few of the wine boxes myself. You could have mitered your corners to allow the wood grain to match on 3 of the 4 corners and “waterfall” the piece. A small difference to make the project a lot better. Then if you wanted to keep the dowel accents, rockler makes a corner jig which looks cool.
Good to finally see someone on here using the gripper!!
Love the wine box and the coasters, I prefer the spray on finish on the coasters andI liked the quarter inch chamfer better than the larger chamfer on the pen/pencil holder all three projects turned out nice.
Yes, I learn something new every day. I appreciate how you go step by step an explain it as you go. I'm fairly new so any suggestions or idea' on 'how to' is always appreciated.
I will be doing more videos like this so stay tuned!
Thanks for your video. I really liked contrast of the wood colors. I’ve thought about making some coasters but the ones I’ve seen don’t absorb moisture from a glass. Probably would have to use a cork product. And the pencil holder. I thought the same thing as you, a candle holder. I think it would look good with the light coming thru it. Good tips and thanks.
I just found you and I have to say I'm so impressed and love your instructions. Easy to follow and even as a newbie I feel confident I'll be able to do this! Thanks so much and I look forward to following you!
I like to see a woodworker using more of the job site tools I’m used to like a chop saw, Brad gun, and even a multi tool. And even sharing a sore back carrying that same planer around when needed
Those small holes could be covered with the same plugs you used for the screws.
Very fine job on all projects. Thanks for sharing.
Cool.
I appreciate your honesty and clarity.
I appreciate you watching and the support!
I love the Deft Lacquer, but discovered a tip on another channel. If you buy (or build) a cheap lazy susan, you can turn the piece you are spraying without touching it. Allows you to easily do all four sides.
That is a good idea.
1st time watching you, I really enjoyed these as they're on the beginner side, you gave great instructions and showed us how to do everything that you did along the way.
I just bought a table saw, Delta half price at Lowe's last week, my space is limited so I really need to think about where it's going to go before we assemble it, looking forward to being able to make more projects, a planer is next.
That is awesome! My first table saw was that same one actually. Have fun in the shop!
I like the narrow chamfer. It gives the finished product an added dimension.
😊😊👍
All three projects turned out real nice.
On the wine box, cut some walnut square to fill the voids left in the datos, plus the walnut plugs to cover the screws. To make it, Extra fancy,...
I liked both the idea of a pencil holder, and / or a light box. Looks good with both chanfers
Hello there 🙏🤝
Thank you for watching and the feedback. Good idea.
i like the dark one it reminds me of that specialty wood type or design style but i forgot what its called i bet those colors would sell even better .
I LIKED THE FIRST ONE
Thanks Randy!
For the wine box, where the square notches are, they can use a dark wood putty
All three came out well and I enjoyed watching the video. I'm new to your channel and will be subbing from now on ... your style is laid back and easy to watch making the learning process that much more pleasant. Thanks for the ideas and have a wonderful holiday season. Cheers, Dave
Thanks so much Dave! That really means alot. I figured i will just be myself as I am with my friends and hopefully people will relate haha. Maybe teach some stuff along the way.
Nice little and quick projects. A few suggestions for the wine box. Use shallow rabbits ( as deep as the grooves) to attach the ends will hide the grooves on the ends. I would cut plugs for the screw holes. The plugs are easily trimmed with a chisel as you are cutting with them grain not across the grain. You could use either the same wood to make nearly invisible plugs or a contrasting wood for highlighted plugs and I think the face grain looks better than the end grain of the dowels.
Wow! Great video...thanks for sharing!
Neat, quick projects! Great gifts for not too close relatives!!
It happens! Love the honesty, it’s nice for a change
Great ideas since summer is almost over and Christmas is just around the corner. ❤❤❤
Absolutely love the fact you didn't edit the issues, makes it more personable. Great Job.
I like to be as transparent as possible lol.
This was sweet, definitely inspired me to get back out in the shop. Thank you!
That's awesome! Thanks for watching!
The fact that you screwed up then made a point to tell us, is it either a genuine view of our human qualities or just a ploy, an attempt to endear us thru your imperfect style? In fact, if you aren't making errors you are either misleading your audience or doing nothing. Either way, I like you and want to see more! I am subscribing, thanks.
I like that you leave your mistakes in the video.
Made several sets of pallet coasters from cedar. Not a wine person but I will try that pencil box.
8:53 you could patch the groove holes with little square pegs from the first part you cut off due to the knot.
I was thinking the same thing he did cut off that little piece this is John saying good night
I like the idea you mentioned about making the pencil holder into a candle using the other base on top.
For the wine bottle box. Those little square holes made by the blade run thru can be plugged with sawdust and glue. Let harden & sand. A nice look is a darker wood sawdust to make the little squares pop.
Enjoyed you video! Thanks for sharing the realities of woodworking and showing your mistakes. It’s reassuring to know that I’m not alone. We often gift wine during the holidays and your wine box looks like a great way to dress up a moderately priced offering. I subscribed so looking forward to more ideas and opportunities to improve.

Thanks for the support!
I like these projects
Great ideas! Thanks for putting this out.
Thanks for watching!
Really nice ideas. Many thanks for showing this to us👍
always enjoy your presentation, craftsmanship and results...when you post a vid, I'm watching! thanks for sharing
I think the pencil holder would make a great night light for a kids room. You could easily put a small LED bulb in there and then put your other base as a topper.
That's what I as thinking! Maybe I'll make a larger similar version and do that!
@@WalkersWoodworks I liked the current size because it can fit on a nightstand without taking up too much room.
Awesome. I think I'll try some of the coasters. Thank You!
Thank you for watching! Good luck in the shop.
Agreed, Spray lacquer looks the best. Nice builds.
Thanks! Appreciate it. Yea I like spray quite a bit.
I love the wine bottle gift box, and already thought of a few improvements.
Love contrast!
nice work!! would love to have your shop set up! no fluff, all the basics! 👍
Thanks!!
I by far prefer the base with the wider champers, cheers. While you were completing the wine box, I noticed the cardboard box with shavings and thought it would be nice to make wooden boxes with covers for gift giving. Might be also sell easily.
You can take little bits of wood and glue them in to plug the ends of the slots. Easy fix!
There's some great ideas here! An easier method to hide the rabbets on the wine box could also be to use mitre joints.
Or cut some small plugs from the scrap cut off for where the lid slides in and glue 'em in.
Or, using either a router with a rabbet bit or the table saw, make a rabbet in the bottom of the boards for the plywood to sit inside attached with brad nails and glue. In fact this is an easier method than cutting a slot for the plywood board.
Nice builds. My wife put together some cork board coasters so she asked me to make a holder for them. This was one of our Christmas gifts for family and friends.
That's a cool collaboration!
Have used both rigid and ryobi. Ryobi has out done Rigid every time. Even with warranty.
i love the wine box idea!
Awesome work great ideas thanks for sharing these.
Thanks for watching!
Hey man, nice three project video! I’m just getting started with woodworking so it’s good to see easier projects sometimes lol.
Haha right on! Glad you enjoyed it. They are fun to make for sure. Appreciate the support.
Rabbets would be a great way to hide those slots as well. would give the front and back a nice look too.
Agreed
Love the multi-tool. Great gift ideas 💡👍🏻🇺🇲
😊😊👍
Thanks! Appreciate you watching!
wonderfull! Arapongas, Paraná, Brasil.
Great video. I’m also starting with pallet wood I got a big pile of broken down pallets in my garage just got to get out there and build something lol. Can’t wait to see you build your shop furniture.
It's a great material to work with. I still use it from time to time when I'm looking for rustic style.
Really enjoyed these
Very cool
Great projects, all look good
Excellent work
Loved yr video. I bet most people do stuff like that all the time but would never show it. Honest and down to earth. Nice box
Thank you!
Looks like I’m making pallet coasters this weekend 👍😂
I been building since I was a toddler thanks to my dad and I still use pallets when I can lol there is this one kind I get that the wood is some type of hardwood with a deep red color but no idea what it is. Customers love it tho
Great vid. When cutting many small pieces out of longer strips like you did for the pencil holder and coaster you could use painters tape to secure the longer strips together then cut multiple 4" or 5" pieces at once instead of cutting singles. A bit more efficient, safer and accurate.
Fine work love the life happenings to, thought i was the only one lol..
those are beautiful 😊😊
Thank you!
First time viewer and I honestly enjoyed watching. I'm keen to binge a few more vids xD
Thank you!
I really enjoyed some simple easy projects to fund bigger projects and toys. Also, your humor on this was hysterical! 🤣 Keep yo the great work.
Haha I'm glad someone noticed. I talk to myself like that all the time so I decided to start inckuding it. Thank you for the feedback and support!
i'm just starting out in wood working with pallet wood and like these easy projects thanks again
Thanks for watching!
Good ideas and easy to do. I’d add some felt too the bottom of the coasters and pencil holder. Just my opinion. Thanks for the video.
Great builds. You need to put caster wheels on your big work bench so you can move it around the shop so you don’t have to use extension cords. Or better yet you can Mount a power cord under the top like I did and you can just run a cord to that and plug in several things at once
Great gifts!
😊😊👍
Thanks for this video. You're a great DIY'er
Thanks!
