+KSFWG You're welcome, and thank you for watching.

BIGBOY'S DIY Has was

Or the random orbital sander that sounds like a router lol. At first I was like you don't route in a circle back and forth pattern. Then I saw the sanding pad.

Thanks

garriv777 you didnt. Not the way i would have done it. But the joint reallyndoesnt have to be that strong here. Its only a small box

screw punched out the side, even with pilot hole, was just a little too close. I would of just made another one if the customer wasnt in a huge rush.

nice job...looks awesome

+Andrew LaBelle Because the screw went in wonky and punched out the side of the box, so it was just a "crap gotta fix this" moment. The client needed it quick like bunny so I didnt have to time to make another one. But they were happy with the end product.

oh okay cool, thanks

@@lyrebirdfurniture522Hi. I bought something called a "Speedfit" Pilot Drill made by Kobalt for this very reason. Different sizes and they have a beveled end to fit in the beveled hinge holes for centering and an adjustable depth pilot drill (you'll need a small Allen key for adjustment) that's spring loaded for starting the hole. Unless you have a drill press, you still have to hold it perpendicular to the piece but at least it centers it in the middle of the hinge holes. I use this especially when the material is thin like the very nice box you built. Got mine at Home Depot for $5-$6 each but had trouble finding them on HD's website. An image search on Google for Kobalt # 0486264 will let you see what I'm referring to. This number is for a #5-6 screw and has a 5/64" pilot drill. I'm sure there are ones made better (this one is made in China) but no more than I use mine, they do the trick. Good luck and again, nice work.

home depot price sticker im guessing.

+Raul Padilla Its a comfort level thing, and the lens compression makes it look closer than it actually is. Someone said or a read if you ever feel uncomfortable about a cut dont do it. I had a friend lose 3 fingers in a tablesaw a couple years ago so im pretty careful now.

I wouldnt see any reason why not, i just used the wood i had laying around.

No! Joke

Yes, on something a lot bigger that would be an issue, even more so if it was in a place with wild humidity changes. But this is a really small box, and i've got one sitting on my dresser that was the prototype to that one in the video, and its been there for over 3 years now and the wood hasnt moved or warped or twisted or exploded. But I have made larger versions of that box and I use biscuits if i have to run the grain perpendicular, or if i've got the wood to do it, just run everything parallel .

+Lee Doughty I follow what you're saying but i couldnt think of a better word

scroll down, answered that question 7 years ago.

I know, didnt know what else to call it when i made the video.

I've had one sitting on my dresser i built before this one, so 5+ years ago since this video is 5 years old. And nothings changed on it due to wood movement. Also if this was a table or something ya, but its a box, its a cheap box built out of scraps. Other bigger boxes that i've built the same way as this one i biscut jointed everything together between the edge and long grains.

Wood movement is not a worry on small scale projects. No real stresses on small boxes either, hence no "need" for splines. Nice detail touch though, I use them a lot.
