- Do you love board games as much as I do but hate how the boxes are made of cardboard and leave no room for expansion packs.... Of course you do!
Well in this video you will see how I make the most badass board game box ever for the best board game in existence, Power Grid.

I was going to say, You must really love that game! Then I saw you called it "The best board game ever." So it would make sense that you built the most amazing box in the free world. (China has a golden one)
I'm for sure going to use your "table saw, table saw, bandsaw" method for resawing wood from now on. Thanks!
Now here's a tip for you for when you're cutting the top off your box: Cut both sides of the box as you did. Then cut the ends in a similar way, but lower your blade so you leave the last 1/16" of the material intact. This is enough to hold the lid steady as you make the final cut. Use a utility knife to cut through the last 1/16" to free the lid from the box. It's a tiny bit more time, but way easier on the nerves.
Fantastic job! That box is an heirloom for sure! 👍👍👏👏😉😉
This is awesome. My kids bought a monsterous electronic monopoly game, and it rattles around loosely in the box.
I didn't have a large chunk of MDF but I did have plenty of offcuts, packing tape and a can of expanding foam. So that's how I made my custom insert.
Yours looks a fair bit nearer though.
Nice job. I am really taken with the way you cut the spline inlays. I have only seen it done on the router table before and I find set up really difficult that way. I am going to try it on the table saw now. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome, looks great!
I would recommend building a box for HeroQuest, there are a million people looking forward to a nice solutions for the games.
“My MDF nightmare” 🤣
Well done. Nice and practical for many things 👍
Great Video as always! Thanks.
Looks amazing. Nice work.
Great job.
You are extremely creative. I liked the idea of adding the dovetail accents. Way more visually appealing than just adding splines.
Keep do what you do.
Wow! Dovetail splines! I have never done those before! I used glue and brad nails on my boxes, but that is a much classier solution.
Very, Very NICE!! Love your videos. Your a true craftsman. Keep up the excellent videos.
Fantastic work, dude! Really nicely done! 😃
You know, I'm thinking about the CNC thing... But I can't right now, unfortunately. But one day... 😬
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
You were wrong. It was four million clamps. I counted them.
Beautiful, Like your content, thank you, Now Subscribed 👍😊😊
I'm a simple man, I hear Duke Nukem, I hit the like button!
how is the work place sparkling clean??
Very nice. Love seeing you use your CNC. I'm building one for myself but not exactly sure what I'm going to do with it. It's nice to see real examples like this. A short video on your workflow from model to CAM to running the machine would be nice, if you have the time.
Watch some of my tutorial videos in my cnc playlist
You can make "name keychains" for every one you know. I have a home made CNC machine (well half homemade - got a lot of the parts from a junked machine, and made barrowed or stole the rest). Ive been a carpenter for a long time, but the learning CAM/AutoCAD/ Blender stuff Is still a on going process. Sometimes I just get tired of messing with it and just do it by hand.
완전 멋짐
I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.
5:06 how kit kats are made.
Cool. Love the dovetail jig. Are you going to make one for your kids too?
Very well done!
I'm surprised you didn't paint the inset part of the lid to bring out the picture you engraved.
I wanted it to be subtle.
Nicely done! I'm surprised you haven't swapped out the router for a 2.2hp spindle yet - they're "reasonably" inexpensive and dramatically quieter than a router.
Im not really in the shop while its running do no big deal for me
Why’d you use both the table saw and bandsaw, instead of just the bandsaw, to re-saw the wood? (Damn, there’s a lot of ‘saws’ in that question.)
Also, thanks for the acetone photo transfer tip!
Because the table saw removes more material faster than the bandsaw blades i own
@@DIYBuilds ah! Makes sense. Thanks!
*too
Nice but one complaint: You said I could make that jig out of anything but I'm here to tell you using jello is not advised. At least not strawberry flavor. Probably should have went with the lime.
You are correct. Making it out of strawberry is suicide. Obviously by made of anything that implies grape jello only.
Do you find yourself wishing you made the piece holders removable so you didn't have to scoop them all out of the box and could dump them?
The guy I made it for said yes
Watched again just to hear you casually say "MDF nightmare." Anytime you have something that is overgrown or odd it's a good descriptor.
18 thou thick plywood? Really?
Lol whoops 180 thou
And now it weighs a ton and no outside art
Huh?
@@DIYBuilds yeah.
Yeah?
You lost a lot of weight
