    I always love the techniques you use. My Mum actually loves your channel, and she ended up becoming a carpenter and building her and my Dad's dream house! Thanks, Bob

    That clear coat trick with the painter's tape just changed my life O_O

    • @Iliketomakestuff

      Excellent!

      I Like To Make Stuff Yeah, those lines turned out remarkably well, I'll have to let my mom know, as she makes things like this all the time, but can sometimes have difficulty getting them so crisp

    • @galli0
      @galli0 Před 6 lety

      If you are doing it on a wall, lay down a coat of the original colour of the wall(whatever you have under the tape) and it'll do the same but don't be a different finish

    im 14, i love making stuff with my dad. i once restored an old go kart.

    @marcusjohnson2985 Před 5 lety

    Haha! “Yeah. You could, but that’s not really what this channel is about.” That was great, and always needs to be your closing statement. Totally dig all of your projects.

  • @Jamesgreggy

    it's interesting that you talk about all the different options people could choose to make there own. great job Bob.

  • @shanewilson765
    @shanewilson765 Před 8 lety

    Really like the way you cut your rabbet. Never seen it done that way. Plus you didn't realize it ,but you just taught all us men how to wrap a Christmas gift too. Thanks

  • @GreenAcreHomestead
    @GreenAcreHomestead Před 8 lety

    Very cool Bob! I especially like the design you did and that the center is left plain wood. Cool how some angles of the box make it appear like a perspective drawing of a wooden building like at 5:16

  • @bazokie
    @bazokie Před 8 lety

    Thanks for this Bob. Making a simple box is more important (and kinda challenging) than anyone every knows till the need to do it.

  • @BruceAUlrich
    @BruceAUlrich Před 8 lety +18

    Absolutely LOVE the paint job! Those different angles are really cool, and I'm a sucker for gray.

  • @RoborobsComputers
    @RoborobsComputers Před 8 lety

    Bob,
    Love the paint job. Also love the tip about using clear before to keep colors from bleeding.

  • @Mik3Bravo
    @Mik3Bravo Před 6 lety

    Great video, appreciate all the suggestions at the end at how versatile the box is and the different ways to make it.

  • @Sonal_Mobile
    @Sonal_Mobile Před 8 lety

    Quick build and easy to customize with handles, hinges or a locking mechanism. Great job!

  • @Randorthis90
    @Randorthis90 Před 8 lety

    You've really got a knack for doing "how-to" videos. Not everyone can do it well but you explain and show everything very well.

  • @adrieng.416
    @adrieng.416 Před 8 lety

    Nice video as usual! Just made me think about the folder box I did lately but with two wooden wine boxes, one for 3 bottles and one for 6 bottles. I really like to use those as they are mostly free and usually have nice wood grains.

  • @BC-bf1fq
    @BC-bf1fq Před 8 lety +1

    Good stuff Bob. I like the sentiment about making stuff for yourself. If you want the same plastic box everyone else has, that's great. However if you want something that is your own, I Like To Make Stuff is a great place to start. Keep up the great content.

  • @BradleyMakesThings
    @BradleyMakesThings Před 8 lety +2

    That came out pretty cool, Bob! Never thought I'd think hanging file folders were cool, lol. I've actually been needed to make one but was hung up on the rails. You solved that problem for me though. Thanks!

  • @MsRegina333
    @MsRegina333 Před 8 lety

    It looks great! And so much more pleasing to the eye than plastic! Wood is much better and I love the colors..

  • @NeverNotMaking
    @NeverNotMaking Před 8 lety +2

    Nice clean lines. That method that has always worked for me when painting on very porous surfaces like stucco and OSB.
    1. Paint base coat. (can be clear poly) Let dry.
    2. Mask off area you want to remain as the base color.
    3. Paint the base color again over all the tape edges where your two color meet. (this fills in any gaps under the tape) Let dry.
    4. Paint your secondary color.
    5. Peel the tape while your paint is very wet, or wait until fully dry and score your tape lines with a blade.

    I can't believe how often you manage to upload, ideas just seem to explode out of your head!

  • @spacecat86
    @spacecat86 Před 8 lety

    masking tape over the gap in the saw insert makes a make-shift zero clearance insert....probably not the best but it works and is basically free. Love the vids, Bob!

  • @AndrewSetters
    @AndrewSetters Před 8 lety

    Very nice Bob. Dead simple with a great finish. I also like the debrief at the end to give people more options and ideas. Keep it up.

  • @69virgin1966
    @69virgin1966 Před 8 lety

    Hey Bob that looks great. I especially like the way you did the angles. It makes it unique.
    Keep up the great work

  • @eln74
    @eln74 Před 8 lety

    You only used the table saw, miter saw, rubber mallet, corner and normal clamps, super and yellow glue, no nails or screws, painters tape, spray paint and clear coat. This is really cool.
    Hope you can do more vids from your dad's workshop, pleaseeeeee.....!!! Tnx for sharing it man!!!

  • @DougKeeling
    @DougKeeling Před 8 lety

    I loved the box. Making your own stuff gives it a special meaning.

  • @KeithKingGuitars
    @KeithKingGuitars Před 8 lety

    Great video and project Bob! In my experience, the green 3M painters tape prevents finish from bleeding better than the blue tape.

  • @tbucsclw1
    @tbucsclw1 Před 8 lety

    loved this tutorial as a student, and the paint job was pretty cool!

  • @FredSuplee
    @FredSuplee Před 8 lety

    Frog Tape is the best for painting and getting clean crisp lines without having to paint over the edge of the tape to prevent bleed through. I've used it for years, tried others and they just don't do the same. Nice project, Bob.

  • @simplediyr
    @simplediyr Před 8 lety

    I love it. Especially the clear cost trick for the lines. On my son's room I painted lines on the walls and I used Vaseline and it worked perfect.
    I'm really into making boxes now and I'm definitely gonna steal a few of your ideas ;-)

  • @GatoRockYou
    @GatoRockYou Před 8 lety

    Well done mate!. There is something usually grind my gears: Protect with tape part of the box and cover with paint, when you remove the tape there is always a thin line of open paint, and i don't know how to make it disappear

  • @TheDaniel688
    @TheDaniel688 Před 2 lety

    Just a heads up if you want to make multiples of these. Normally file box dimensions are set so that they will fit letter sized folders in one direction or legal size in the other direction in case you ever wanted to use legal size in one of your boxes.

  • @KnotheadsCny
    @KnotheadsCny Před 8 lety

    Suggestion for paint bleeding under your masking tape: I use a 4" flexible putty/drywall knife to go over the tape edge. It generally gives a good seal to the surface. Looks like the fingernail and clear coat method worked pretty well on this one though.

  • @TheScotty124
    @TheScotty124 Před 8 lety

    Really great project, one thing i would've changed is the paint job, would have rather used a deep red than the yellow, but that;s personal preference. I might actually give this project a go but i'm not sure whether you could get great precision with just a regular saw?

    You should try "fine line" tape in the future, it's an extra step but you will get nice clean lines that way without the clear coat step first

  • @TheMyeloman
    @TheMyeloman Před 8 lety

    I built something similar for a friend but used aluminum flat stock from the home center for the rails. Just routed a stopped dado into the sides and cut the flat stock to length, then they slide right in but can also be removed should he want to use the box for something else in the future.

  • @CinnTech0451

    Hey man, I've been looking for a DIY racing wheel stand and it would be really cool to see your version of a wooden one because I don't know how to make one. Thanks!

  • @Dloweification
    @Dloweification Před 8 lety

    You should use your CNC to make an aluminum stamp with the I like to
    make stuff logo, then build some sort of heating element to attach to
    the bottom so you can make a custom burn-in wood stamp. Not sure if
    that's what they're called, but it would be awesome.

  • @WestSenecaValleyRailroad

    This would be easily modified to make a desk drawer or even a full filing cabinet. Thank you, Bob!
