Keepsake Box Using Box Joints
Vložit

- I made this keepsake box using sapele for the wood and finger joints or box joints for the joinery. This is a great weekend woodworking project. The jig for making box joints was simple and quick to make and the contrasting colors of face and end grain looks great. I finished the box with some inexpensive hardware and finished up with a couple coats of General Finishes Arm-R-Seal and buffed it out with some 0000 steel wool and Briwax. Thanks for watching !

The Craftsman isn't the one who does perfect work, it's the one able to fix the errors that inevitably creep in.
i love that poly sanding trick to hide the gaps !!!
Thanks!
Yeah! Sweet! Good trick
Going to try that one today!
Its better than glue cuz glue won't take stains well!!
Yes, I do too; and I’m a long term glue and sawdust guy.
From a 68 year-old woodworker, Thanks for sharing! I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks! Loved your video!

wow beautifull
Thanks!
Nice project, I made boxes for my boys when they were young. They still have them at ages 30 and 28. And that’s a great tip with the alternative to glue and sawdust, especially with end grains that would soak up glue like a sponge.
Great video. Thanks
Thanks!
Great skills and clear explanation. Thank you.
Thanks!
Thats a beautiful box! Well made!
Thanks!
Excellent demo! Exactly what I needed to finish my thought processes on the boxes I’m making for Christmas. Thanks for this!
I'm glad it helped!

Outstanding Video. I always learn something watching your videos!!
Thanks. I'm glad you liked it
Awesome build.. gave me inspiration to make something similar.. keep up the great work
Thanks!
Good tip with the sanding and wipe-on poly... (I) enjoyed the video!
Thank you
Un trabajo perfecto.
Awesome job and your box turned out fantastic.
Thanks!
Very nice! I'm about to start a very similar piece. Glad I saw this before I start on it!
Thanks! Good luck with your project
Oh man i love sepele wood. what a beautiful box. well done sir
Thanks!
Yay! Someone else that uses the fist mallet
Your gap filling method is amazing. That's the first time I've seen that. Thank you. I'll be using this on my next box joints
Awesome! It's a good trick
Simple, beautiful and elegant. Well done, and that poly trick is fantastic!! Definitely going to try that.
Thanks!
Nice project. This turned out really well. I always like the pattern one gets at the end of boards when using finger joints. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes
They're box joints. Finger joints are what they use to lengthen cheap molding. They're thinner and angled. A special bit makes finger joints.
Duuude. That wipe-on-poly hack is gold! Also, the spacers when cutting the lid is something that I fell is very important. Thanks!
Thanks!
Gorgeous box. Love the wood grain in that sapele. Great job and watching this you’ve given me the confidence to try box joints myself. Great work
Thank you! Good luck with the build
Beats sawdust and glue ANY DAY- thank you for sharing.
Very nice! Hand cut box joints was my very first joinery project years ago and I still enjoy the look it creates.👍
Thanks. It's a nice change from dovetails every once in a while
Really nice explanation and I love the trick with the sanding to fill the voids.....I gotta try that
Thanks!
Outstanding work. I particularly like the gap hack with the poly and sanding dust. I'll use it today on another project. Thank you again. Great video.
Thank you!
Very nice job on the finish. It really brings out the grain. Nice job on all of it.
Thanks!
Beautiful work man. That tip is very clever and have honestly never heard it before. I’m so glad I can be a part of a community with so many skilled people like yourself. Great project Dave.
Thanks! I love being part of this community also. I learn something new all the time. You guys are inspiring me to do some metal work and I'm even making a leather wallet that I learned about from watching CZcams tutorials.
Great video and absolutely priceless tip. I’ve never heard of that technique which sounds so much better than using the glue and saw dust. Thanks again m
Thanks. That gap filling method works well!
That is awesome 😎I love Sapele, it’s always got amazing grain!
Thanks! It's easy to work with too
Twisted Woodshop I’m definitely going to pick some up on my next run to the lumberyard
Been woodworking for a while now and that's the first time I've seen the poly/slurry trick. Thanks for the tip! Amazing what this community can accomplish! Well done, sir!
Thanks! Just finished watching your video on the gun rack you made. Good stuff
So I’m not the only one who cant make 100% perfect fitting finger joints?? Other guys on you tube make it look and sound so easy but it isn’t.
The wipe on poly slurry trick was enough to make me a new subscriber! Awesome idea for those "well CRAP!" moments on a build like this.
Thanks! I tend to have a few of those "well crap" moments!
Same here! It just never occurred to me.
Handy tip: when you find a glue that works well for you, stick with it.
Great job what you did in this astonishing box you’ve made. Really I loved it.. peace
Thank you!
@@TwistedWorkshop77 you are welcome brother
Very nice work! It looks awesome. ☺
Thanks!
nice hack on filling the box joint gaps.
Thanks!
