Good job, man! No music, no noise. No annoying intro. Just pure woodworking. Love it!

Great job, I’m fed up of seeing workshop full of expensive machinery which I don’t have. I’ve now subscribed.

Well done, no anoying music, no screaming of all kinds of expensive tools, just hands, PERFECT

Beautiful process and immensely satisfying (for you and the viewer). I love to work "without electricity" but it does have its problems. A cedar cot I was building this way - 88 mortise/tenon joints, 4 bookmatched panels etc., all hand cut, sanded to 2000 etc. and our son arrived 2 weeks early, well before it was finished. My wife bought me a Festool Domino system to avoid it happening again. Not long after, I was building a set of built-in drawers, all hand-cut dovetails, blind/half-blind and loving the process. My wife must have missed me on those lonely nights while I was happy in my shop so she bought me a Leigh dovetail jig system. I love to hand-thickness, sand to a polish and take my sweet time finishing my projects. Another pair of bedside tables was taking a little longer than my girl wanted, so she bought me a helical thicknesser. I'm currently working as slowly as I can on some hand-cut "bandsaw boxes" as I don't have a bandsaw... :-) Cheers and thanks from Sydney - Dave

No background sound track. Just the sounds of a sharp woodworker using sharp and well-maintained tools to fabricate an heirloom quality box for his faithful friends in which to rest between tasks. Oh, and breathing. As God breathed into us the breath of life, so you breathed into well cured cherry a new life. I appreciated all that and more in watching and listening to your project coming to life. Thank you. May the Peace provided by the carpenter from Nazareth be yours. May the blessings of the Creator be with you, yours, and all those who love you and whom you love.

Can't believe you used electric lights to see by, i'm so sick of this modern electric woodworking :P

The best noise in woodwork -- that of a sharp plane making a full length edge cut! Great job, too.

I'm just starting my woodworking journey, and living in NYC, I have opted to go all hand tools, for now. Loved this video. Very well edited, showing us what needed to be seen without anything extraneous.

I love this video because he doesn't need electricity or power tools. He doesn't need music playing over the important sounds that the hand tools make. Videos that play music over the natural tool sounds are almost unwatchable to me. This video will be on my playlist to watch over and over again because it's straight forward and no unnecessary bells and whistles. Thanks dk builds👍

... superb conclusion, calling to mind Michelangelo: "the sculpture is already complete ... I just have to chisel away the superfluous material."

Wonderful! I finally found someone who keeps it simple and uses hand tools!! And the video isn’t glamorous with music and talking.

What Mike Dolganov said “Good job, man! No music, no noise. No annoying intro. Just pure woodworking. Love it!”

This is soothing to watch. Exactly what I need because I can't afford all those power tools virtually all woodworking channels have.

something is very satisfying about working with hand tools

Exactly what I was looking for..no power tools... thanks for uploading...keep it rolling

Very late to the part here, but you've inspired me! I built a few boxes with varying degrees of success but your way of re-sawing thicker wood has a true lightbulb. moment for me!

Hand tools makes woodworker a master and makes art, not the machines !!

You just set the standard for how all woodworking videos should be. No talking, just doing. I learned so much from watching you use planers to smooth out planks you sawed in half. I didn't think that was possible (I'm just starting out). Thank you for this wonderful lesson.

I love the sound of that plane moving across the wood.

"It only took me about ten times longer to make. Worth it! " GREAT!!!

Thanks for showing this I’m thinking of trying to become a small box craftsman but I live in a car so I need hand tool only working

The way you freehand straight lines is otherworldly...

Love the videos. My grandfather and his father were both into carpentry. Not masters or anything, but I was always impressed with what they built. I tried it for a semester in high school but it didn't really click. I'm wanting to give it another shot, but always feel discouraged when I think of my lack of space and funds for expensive tools. Was really nice seeing you build something simple yet beautiful with just your hands and basic tools, and I think that's just the sort of reminder I needed.

Thank you so much at last someone who makes boxes with hand tools and doesn’t play unnessesary music I really enjoy listing to natural normal sounds from a woodworker so nice thank you

I took this vo-tech class in high school, woodworking. I took a lot of vo-tech classes, because it was just big jerk-off, but this one time I had this teacher by the name of... Mr... Mr. Pike. I guess he was like a Marine or something before he got old. He was hard hearing. My project for his class was to make this wooden box. You know, like a small, just like a... like a box, you know, to put stuff in. So I wanted to get the thing done as fast as possible. I figured I could cut classes for the rest of the semester and he couldn't flunk me as long as I, you know, made the thing. So I finished it in a couple days. And it looked pretty lame, but it worked. You know, for putting in or whatnot. So when I showed it to Mr. Pike for my grade, he looked at it and said: "Is that the best you can do?" At first I thought to myself "Hell yeah, bitch. Now give me a D and shut up so I can go blaze one with my boys." I don't know. Maybe it was the way he said it, but... it was like he wasn't exactly saying it sucked. He was just asking me honestly, "Is that all you got?" And for some reason, I thought to myself: "Yeah, man, I can do better." So I started from scratch. I made another, then another. And by the end of the semester, by like box number five, I had built this thing. You should have seen it. It was insane. I mean, I built it out of Peruvian walnut with inlaid zebrawood. It was fitted with pegs, no screws. I sanded it for days, until it was smooth as glass. Then I rubbed all the wood with tung oil so it was rich and dark. It even smelled good. You know, you put nose in it and breathed in, it was... it was perfect.

The ending reveal was worth it. That was a nice touch!

The way we`re going on, these hand tools will be all we`ll have left...

i respect people who has the self-control to not flick their ryoba saw after each cut to clean up the saw dust jammed in between the saw tooth (at least that's why I flick mine, not because i giggle at that sound, i promise).

I love the music. Just steeel on timber. Fantasic!

Todo a puro pulso como los carpinteros de los 70 ahora estan extintos ,bueno casi , Saludos desde Ecuador

Good presentation, action speaks loudest.

I've watched this a few times over the last year or so of woodworking. I love the simplicity! No rabbet plane? Make it work another way!

THIS IS THE REAL WOODWORKING SKILLS !!! I've hear many times peoples bragging about how good their woodworking skills. But I ask him if he use powertools, then he say Yes. I will say that is no skills, he can because he have powertools. What if he doesn't have powertools ? I bet he can't do it.

Excellent! Only the music of creation, love it ❤

I love the silent treatment here... with exception of the sawing of course, no problem with that. I've come to realize that after years of investing in good power tools, I really should have started with investing in learning the basics first and mastering hand tools before moving on to power tools. I couldn't imagine sawing a board through the widest side by hand like that and then taking a plane to it with the aim of getting that kind of result. Looks like I have a LOT of work to do!

such beautiful curling saw dust. I need a large amount of it so I think I'll try woodworking

The ring of that double sided handsaw is everything!

Excellent job, thanks for sharing.

Been trying to find clear and simple instructions on making a box without shenanigans! Lovely video, thanks .

great tutorial - I agree that there was no need for chatter. The music was the sawing to set the perfect mood. thank you.

Love it . Simple and works .

Nice video. You can tell a real craftsman from the way his Japanese saws go "bwoinnnggg" at the end of every cut 😁.

Definitely have not watched enough of you videos on KZfaq. Rapidly becoming my favourite, the silence of the work is amazing. Really well done 👍

Beautiful build, love the way your planes sing as they cut & smooth the wood

This was so satisfying to watch. You've got a great skill set and knowledge of your tools. I look forward to watching more of your videos. Good job!!

All the sounds that come with handwork are beautiful to listen to. Beautiful results, someday I'll somehow find time to enjoy making these sounds myself

This level of skill and craftsmanship is outright intimidating.

What an absolute joy to behold.

Appreciate the oldschool style, purist.

Great video. I use shellac and denatured alcohol method on boxes I make. It’s very natural looking on wood. Thanks

Yay 😁. Enjoyed the cordless build! That, and the absence of a ridiculously expensive shop. Right up my alley. New subscriber.

Now build yourself a nice Paul Sellers workbench 👍👍

Sweet! Hands off to you! Beautiful job. Patience is a virtue!🌳🌲

Brilliant 🥳🙌😊🙌🥳. Thank you.

Glorious. Love the bit at the end with the shavings revealing the final box. Good fun and turned out really clean.

Beautiful box admirable skills with hand tools and there wasn’t a table saw took me back fifty years when my Dad used make his varnish .

You are great with hand tools.

That was excellent.

Naturally, I like it

Love the sound of your tools

Well done and well-made video. Thanks.

pure ASMR

Keep these old methods alive.

Great work. Congrats!

Really enjoyed your video, thanks!

Love it!!! Although if we're going to be nitpicky (and after all this IS KZfaq!) I was expecting this to be a candle lit project since you know... no electricity😁😁

Beautiful build! I've been practicing woodworking without electricity almost every day in the last two months and made a few projects.

Fabulous, thank you. 👌

Handy with the Japanese steel!

Box presentation at end of video timeline is great!

Good work DK, I was put off by many woodworking videos because they show off machinery instead of craftmanship. Yours is thankfully different, how real woodworking should be!

no reason for bad comments, excellent job!

Thank You for share...

Nice work, great video.

Great vid - thx! No frills, just the tools, the materials, and the task. Love it. BTW - technically, plenty of electricity was used: Brain, muscle, and all cellular activity, lighting, heating, and recording - and then there is this interwebs thing ; )

Excellent job!

Awesome video and box!

Excellent craftsmanship presented in a superb video! No nonsense just getting to see you do the work. The outro reveal of the box was awesome! Thanks for the great content.

I love your no nonsense approach, very inspiring.

A little Paul Sellers goes a long way 👍

Nice idea and build. Simple enough and pretty to see !

Excellent video

You had the light on. Ahh got you there! Great job by the way!

thank you sharing your skills --- that was beautiful to watch

Damn that was so satisfying to watch

Instant subscribe. This is art.

Great video! I especially love the ending :)

Sweet fun man. Love it.

Awesome piece of work! Nice Japanese saw tools!

Absolutely wonderful video!!!🤩

Nice job, nice presentation

At the end I was like "What? Why is he vacuuming? Did he really cover the box in shavings? What a ridicu- **knocked out from the calming sounds** hahahah

You are a True Artist.

Thank you for this video. Excellent job. This way to work gives you a feeling for the wood which you must have, even if you work with machines. I love this way you show it on KZfaq. No stress. I just find it and subscribe. You and Paul Sellers are the best.

Great skills mate!!

I don't what others will think when planing a really dry board I use warm water on the surface. It softens the surface fibers and makes the job a whole lot easier

Extraordinario, con tanta sencillez no necesitas decir palabras para expresar la madera hecho arte

Bien hecho !!

Thank you for this lesson.
