    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

      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. 👌🏼👌🏼

  • @awlthatwoodcrafts8911
    @awlthatwoodcrafts8911 Před rokem +4

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    @billtefft4315 Před rokem +3

    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.

    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
