well if i had your coffee cup i could make toy boxes like that!! seriously though that is a great design and i wish your video was out when i mad a friend a toy box a year or two ago. it took me ages i went way over budget making no money and still wasnt happy with the top close method. the soft close hinge you got was great. My friend was happy though which was the main thing.

You sound like a Hull lad (I originate from Hull) so I understand every word you say makes me feel homesick. I was mates with a lad called Robert Pope as a kid, think he became a carpenter also. Anyway good luck with the channel, very professional and well presented.

Hi Andrew, I use the Kreg master system pocket hole jig and as far as finish on a external project, depending on the type of wood you use and finish your wanting. If you use teak then teak oil is great. If you are using pine I'd buy treated timber and paint with an exterior paint or varnish.
