Tis this video, the dawn of the MicroJig.

I think next weeks project should be shot entirely in the re-enactment style you used for the drawer cutting scene. Loved the special effects.

The dramatic re-enactment alone nets a thumbs up! And the rest of the video is pure icing.

I seriously love my GRR-Ripper. Got it from my special lady friend for Christmas 2 years ago and use it for almost every cut on the table saw. Also, love this project!

Got this unit on the go. Making it out of Black Walnut with an Elm base. Should be a nice contrast.

Hey Steve, I have built quite a few of your projects. I'm a big fan. I love this box design and I just built one today. I'm not a fan of chisels, so after I drilled the holes for the tray, I cut the tray part out, which allowed me to use my scroll saw and spindle sander to clean up the opening before I glued on the bottom, then cut the rest of the heart shape off

You could add a little magnet+metal duo to the back of the drawer, that could be a good use of the additional space you got between the drawer and the frame.

I love Purple Heart. I don't know why. I just find it so appealing.

That came out nice. That bade snapping at the end scared me. All I could think about is the tips of my fingers. Ouch! Hope all is well. Great project, thank you for your contributions to the woodworking community here on KZfaq.

Steve you just saved my skin. thank you for this great idea.

So I just watched one of your first videos on different projects to make from a log. I couldn't comment there so I'll comment here. I know it's been a while and I've seen others do it, but coasters are a really good project to make out of logs. Just cut the slices, lightly sand and seal them.

Cute box for Valentine's day. I have only broken one blade on my bandsaw. My problem seems to be the tires. Had 3 break on the top, but none on the bottom so far. (Knock on wood). Carl

G'day from Australia Steve. After my initial foray into woodworking I discovered your channel and because of it, one of my first purchases was a GRR-Ripper, a purchase which I've never regretted as I still have all of my digits and intend to retain them for many years to come!!!

Such a long way since the humble beginnings. Now with sponsors, a shop, abd thousands of subscribers ! keep it up !

Congrats on the sponsor Steve!! Great bandsaw box video and plans, I have the glue up done waiting for it to dry. Thank you much for the free plans.

I've had a Micro Jig GRR-Ripper for about 4 years and am glad I have it. I use it all the time, but it's especially great when I need to rip thin strips. Thanks for sponsoring Steve's show! And Steve, lower the blade guard on that band saw!

congrats on the sponsor. this is a pretty neat project and i would consider making it... if i had someone to give it to.

Good looking job. Any girl would be happy to have for Valentine's Day. And thank to Micro Jig for supporting free wood working video.

BTW....Got 2 of those Grippers. Great for long pieces, just leap frog them and the feed never stops. Great for Jointer and table saw !!

1st Ever Video with MicroJig. I probably look forward to the MicroJig advertisements at the beginning than the actual project. How creative!

You are an inspiration to all us Mere Mortals!

Nice bandsaw box Steve. There's a trick I learned here online that says if you "cook" the purpleheart (introduce heat, maybe steam) before finishing it massively enhances the colour. Maybe the friction from the b/s blade was enough.......but....

Micro-Jig you ROCK!!! Thanks for all you do. Thank you Steve for another great video.

Forever in debt to your priceless advice...

I respect you so much for teaching people and make every thing free, your work is amazing and you to ❤

Micro jig works great for cutting very small pieces of wood through your table saw. It allows the cut piece to clear the blade with little chance for kick back as the jig grips both the stock and the cut piece and keeps them together as they pass through the blade. A great product and fully adjustable to your project size.

Nice little box and a great gift for Valentine Steve. Congratulation for the new sponsor to your show, you are the one worth to be supported in every way. Remember the first video I saw from you, it has been the "routed wooden chain". Back in the old days the people complained a lot about your safety, now, in honor of your sponsor you have to think about getting safety a "-2", although I still agree with the slogan "safety third". I feel sorry for your broken band saw blade, but as I watched you cutting the outer shape of the box I thought you should invest into a plasma torch instead of a new blade this won't make less smoke, but tighter radiuses and you'll be the first to make a "plasma torch box" instead of an ordinary "band saw box". I am looking forward to every Friday (not myself, as I see my face every morning in the mirror) as your humor leads into a great weekend. Greetings from Good Old Germany Peter Freitag

Thank you Micro Jig for sponsoring the same best woodworking show, smart and choice

Glad to hear MicroJig is sponsoring the show now, Steve- they make quality stuff. If they send you a Splitter system, that would be a great video to make (hint hint)!

I've been watching a bunch of your videos and they make me really want to get access to these machines and materials and make something! I took woodshop in high school and remember loving it!

Very nice! I agree that the purple heart and padauk make a nice contrast.

I love my GRR-Ripper's so much I own 3 of them. This way I can have it set up 3 different ways for all the different cuts I make on the table saw.

Very nice! And congrats on retaining all of ur digits when it broke

This is one of my absolute favs!!! I've rewatched it several times. 😅🤷🏻‍♀️🙌🏼

Downloaded the plans, thanks Steve. On to the bandsaw !!! Stewart, south west Australia.

Cool box, Steve. And good for you on the sponsorship. I'm glad that they saw the value in your show and your audience. Knowing that you're getting more and more support says great things about you and the future of your show. I want to be able to watch your videos for many more years to come. Thanks, Micro Jig! Oh, and the Griiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiper is a nice tool. I have one and wouldn't mind more.

"Master of the hand tools" ... love it.

I, too, am a fan of my Grr-Ripper. It gets used every time I'm using my jointer and on most cuts on my table saw.

I AM LOVING IT STEVE

I have two grippers. I use them a lot. Their other products are very good as well.

thanks micro jig for sponsoring wwmm

i adore the purple heart

I love micro jig! I just installed the MJ splitter on my table saw. No more kickback and binding cuts. One tip with bandsaw boxes-use CA glue! It's faster than yellow glues.

Welcome aboard Micro-Jig!!

My granddaughter needs one of those!

Je vous tire chapeau mon pote.

Noticed you were "pouring" glue from the gallon jug? I finally got me one of those glue bottles that I saw on your program and you were "pouring" glue from the gallon dispenser the glue comes in? Keep on with the fine projects and video Brother Steve ... I love the "Pallet Projects!"

I hate when that happens! Also hate the smell of burning purple heart. But, I love box/tray combo. Great idea!

I love microjig! As soon as I get my table saw you better believe I'm getting a grrriper

And then I was thinking.... Steve you haven't make any mistakes lately you are getting better... then CRACK! I see the last 5 seconds of your band saw! Seems you are fine no harm done, but well you pretty much made me eat my own words... Thanks Steve! have a great day and hope you are all ok! Ed

That wood looks nice.

Blood wood and purple heart are nice woods

Love your channel! Your a nut, in a good way. I don't know how you find the time to work on all these projects and edit the filming also. I have a full time job and can hardly find the time just to get out in the garage and play around. Glad to hear Micro Jig is sponsoring you now. Keep us entertained!!!

GRR-Ripper.... it is all I have asked for as my birthday/Valentine's Day gift!! :) Great video - going to head into the shop and try to make one! Thanks.

I love purple heart.. such a nice colour! This could be improved with a picture frame on the back where the tray is! Just an idea for anyone making one of these :)

That's so cool I must try it but I'm adding color!!!

Wow... that blade snapping looked pretty bad. Good to see you had no injuries.

Somebody give Steve a t.v. show!!!!!!!

Would you mind doing the same project without the forcner bit and belt/spindle sander? Just the bandsaw, glue, clamps and hand sanding? For complete noobs. I only had those basics and is was a lil tough figuring the process out. Fun for me but for others it might be easier to get into it with a little extra help.

You are so fun to watch. Makes me forget I had a hard week... so thak you!

Love this project

Thank you micro jig!

thanks Steve nice

I'm Aprils daughter, I love your crafty stuff

I love it!

Cool Idea!

I lovely your project. Thank you!

Micro Jig rock! I have 2 I use ALL the time!

Nice Job Steve

Nice project, thank you..

wow, awesome! I want a bandsaw...

It turned out beautiful Steve. Regards, Bob

I hate it when you realize you didn't record when you were suppose to. That happen to me on my last video (miter saw station pt.1). Lol on your demonstration. I love this project. Never worked with purple heart yet. I can imagine the sanding work on it. Turned out great. And sucks about your band saw blade. I've only experienced snapping a blade on the scroll saw. See you next week!

Steve, I really enjoy your videos and I've tried a few... but I have to say I'm a bit disappointed that this "Valentine's Day" idea didn't come out until a week before the holiday-- And then you mention several times how time-intensive it is. I will keep this one in my back pocket for next year, tho. Keep the great videos coming!

oh wow, it looks so good, I wish I had tools to do something like that..

Great vid Steve best project yet

I was also startled by the breaking of the saw in the end even though I was expecting it.

This is the first WWMM video I've watched and I think it's outstanding! Great name too! I'll be on pins and needles waiting for new episodes every Friday! Thanks!

très joli et très belle présentation

Great video, as always, and I own and love the GRR-Ripper too. For future reference however, you might want to post holiday themed videos more than one week prior to the holiday. Makes it tough to actually make the item prior to the holiday.

Very very nice thank you for sharing 👍

Beautiful

Awesome video Steve.

Nice project Steve--loved the "dramatization"....

Always super nice project !!!

Nice project.

Absolutely beautiful!

Nothing beats a hand crafted gift! Love it! :)

Nicely done Steve always fun and entertaining on the work. my heart almost stopped when I might have mistakenly saw your fingers underneath the curved part of the work piece. Please everyone be sure to always use/hold/push the outside edges of the work piece especially if the work piece curves inward. The very first touch of that band sawblade could've caught on the top edge slamming down And taken your finger(s) off. From a concerned and much appreciative subscriber.

wow thats a nice wood. wish I could get it where I live...

Don't you just hate it when that happens? Good show! Larry

Yay!!!! Micro-Jig Love your videos Steve 👍😍

Awesome Project! That band saw blade sure didnt like that turn. Glad you didnt get caught by it. You are pretty fast...

LMAO!!! "I can assure you, the shot looked something like this... EEEEEEEEHHHH..." That cracked my ass up!

Hay ghê , ông này làm giỏi quá

Very nice project by the way !

Thank you for the idea))))

LOL that bandsaw at the end. Glad nothing bad happened though. I'm always afraid of that happening with the smaller blades.

I really like this project Steve. Thanks

Gorgeous box! Don't know if my skills are up to this project but it is awesome.
