2x4 Half Lap Blanket Chest - 089
Рет қаралды 543,151
Күн бұрынThis is a blanket chest is going to the same person as the loft bed I made. It can be called a blanket chest, hope chest, or a toy chest. Technically, it is going to be a toy box but I like the name blanket chest more ;)
I built the entire frame with half laps and a few dados. The project cost was a few cents under $70. Thanks for watching!

Just took a job for a blanket chest, so of course I'm scouring KZfaq for tips. I'm also only a year into woodworking, and have learned everything I know so far from trial and error and KZfaq, so I needed some examples that I could relate to, considering my current tool selection and skill level. This is by far the most approachable, informative, and all around useful video I've found. Thank you for continuing to share your work and skill with us🙏 Awesome build!

I loved this idea, so I made one for my 6 month old daughter as a toy box. This was my first real wood project and it turned out pretty sweet. I changed the panels to be free floating in some dados that I cut in the frame. Anyone who comes over loves the box. I learned a lot doing this project and will be doing another one soon! Thanks for the videos!

I have been watching your videos for years & years. Somehow I missed this one & it's great. it's 7+years old, so you probably won't see this comment... I thought the care & detail with which you explained this build was fantastic. Maybe you could consider some new videos in this format. As much as your channel has grown, i have admired the way you do not outgrow your viewers. But, after watching this, i think maybe you could add a little bit of 'tutorial' back into some builds & videos a few times year. i am mostly bedridden & really appreciate YT contributors like yourself, more than i could express in a comment. On a bad day, watching these videos & planning builds for a good day, help with my pain & my spirit. Thank You. ♿Lisa🛠

Here's an observation about KZfaq woodworkers: The same sense of design and craftsmanship that goes into their woodworking projects is applied to the production of their videos, too. I'm sure there are exceptions. But the four or five woodworkers to whom I subscribe produce high quality videos, in addition to their high quality wood projects. (Jay is no exception) Another example: Matthias Wandel.

Jay, nice work. I noticed how well you did on lighting the shop so we could easily see what you were doing. Good sound as well, none of the typical voice being drowned out by a table say or power tool etc. Your description and step by step of what you were doing was clear, no rambling and easily understood. Might I suggest future videos you add in a couple of things like the size and type of router bit/s used. The general cost of materials, even if they were used or scrap off of something else. And one last note about shop safety. You might want to consider reminding your viewers about the proper use of power tools, safety glasses and or hearing protection. All in all an excellent tutorial.

Just add an air spring to allow any person who gets trapped inside to be able to lift the lid easily Any locks or latches need to be released from the inside No locks on "toy boxes" A simple gap around of about 1/4" will work for air circulation For a "toy box" you want the lid lifter to prevent drop down accidents.

Have you heard about under bed shelters? All it is is a large box like this that is made into a bed frame leaving a space under your bad and a mattress on top. In the case of a tornado someone would seek shelter by removing the mattress and hiding in the shelter portion under the mattress. Just an Idea. I've also seen people make rolling dog beds for their K-9 friends. Some of them are really nice looking.

Great idea with the level! Working with construction grade lumber can be a challenge due to its moisture content. Much higher than a cabinet grade material for example. So it does have a propensity for movement because of that. Your joinery on this project looks exceptional! Very good job! This chest will be rock solid for a very long time.

Dude - take it from a guy who made the mistake - don't ever reach to the opposite side of the circular saw blade. In the blink of an eye the board can kick back and take your hand with it. I have a few missing fingers on my left hand for doing that. Use a push block/stick.

It makes it really hard to do good work when tools are all over the place, bummer.

I would suggest that you invest in a side mount gas powered motor like an edger motor or something. Since you're so good with wood working create yourself a prop for the shaft and a box frame (safety ya know) to house it. Place some baffles in the corners. That way next time you're using that belt sander instead of trying to suck the debris out with the fan you can pressurize your shop with positive pressure. It's way more efficient that way at moving air through a building. Negative pressure moves little to no air through a building and allows dust to settle, unless you have a huge fan like an old barn fan. Positive pressure will most likely even keep those cabinets clean next time.
