I try to build boxes in 5 minutes, 50 minutes, and 5 hours. This project tested all of my skillsets and was a huge challenge!

Maybe combine this with the three levels series. Hear me out. Everyone makes the same thing, Jordan gets the longest time, John gets the shortest, see if spending the extra time can bridge the skill gap.

I build mostly outdoor things like decks, fences, pergolas, etc and you remind me of how I am working in my shop. I recently made 8 planter boxes and initially thought it wouldn't take that long. Oh wait, I need to cut 102 pieces of trim and drill out 500+ plugs, etc etc. Everything always takes longer. Whatever the project is, it didn't take long to learn that I need to add 33% of time to how long I think it'll take in perfect conditions. I think it's going to take two weeks, I'll tell the client 3. Besides the work taking longer, or miscuts or whatever, life stuff happens too. Phone calls, people talk to you, you have to go to the DMV or the doctor... just add 33% and it'll keep you sane and clients happy.

Glad to know that I'm not the only person who spends more time looking for stuff in my shop than I actually spend building things. We can never be too organized. It's a constant struggle to make working in the shop as efficient as possible. There's nothing more aggrivating than not being able to find something that you need, when you need it. All that said, building anything in a hurry is a big mistake, and doing so amounts to taking huge chances with safety.

You have no idea how much this has made me more confident in what I've been able to do since I started wood working a little over a year ago. I used to get so bummed out that it took me 4 hours just to make a damn 14" x 18" drawer, granted I don't use dovetails and all that, I mainly use pocket holes, but I take a lot of time cutting my pieces and getting them square. I always felt I took too long, and seeing John here take 5 hours to make a box... That made me feel a lot better. Thanks, man. :)

@billsedutto8824 2 жыл бұрын

I like this new time constraint twist. Puts a new perspective on things. But I think you should increase the 5 min to 10 or 15 so your not rushing your cuts and nails. Hate to see you suffer a serious injury for the sake of beating a pointless clock. Safety first!

Something I learned a long time ago, I don't even remember from where, is to always have your stuff figured out before starting anything. In woodworking it means: grab every tool you're going to need and put close to where you're going to work... The same with everything you're going to need, like screws and other stuff. And, finally, enough wood to start milling it. You know? Do all this BEFORE you start the clock, otherwise you won't know exactly the time you needed to do the task. (Now that I wrote it down... Maybe I learned it when I studied about softwares for productivity measurements...) Anyway, fantastic work, John! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

@toothlesschunk1005 Жыл бұрын

I really enjoyed this challenge. Simply by the fact that you didn't have everything staged and ready to go. You showed all the difficulties you had by not being organized in your build.

@michaelross8794 2 жыл бұрын

Another thought, what about a 1 hour and 5 hour being more of a custom build, but the 5 MINUTE challenge would actually be making 12 in one hour for an assembly line process. So, it would be the mass production method, the quick and dirty (1 hour) and the more involved. Just a thought. What you guys did was FANTASTIC as it is!

This definitely shows the importance of having system in the tools and hardware 😄 my recommendations try to use 5S in your workshop. Then look through your entire videos and see how much time you wasted walking around to find tools, instead of having the tools where you need them and a system where it is easy to find. Then see how much time it takes to make them with an optimised setup. I bet you can take 40-60% of the build time 🙂

This is not an unrealistic challenge as we reach the HOLIDAY season and woodshops around the world gear up for that special something for Christmas - 5 weeks turns into 5 days turns into 5 min left: PLEASE FINISH, DRY! - maybe in the OVEN? (Kidding kids, don't try this at home. Mom and Dad will be very mad!) For 5 min, I'd probably have pin nailed the whole thing with glue and skipped screws. For the 5 hour, router jig the dovetails and have more time to add hinges, sand and fit/finish. But you have all your digits and got it done sir. Nice job.

seems using just a pneumatic nailer and glue would have been quicker choice for 5 min box.. Dove tail joints go a lot better using a jig and router..(unless you want to be old school and do them by hand but then you wouldn't be using a table saw either).. Also in a shop your size (and in my case also) very rarely are you only working on a single project at a time. P.S.; where you finding the time to do these videos keep it up
