What a fun project! This was a commission piece for someone needing a storage box. It was fun to use a few different techniques that we've applied in previous videos and combine them into this project.

I'm so glad I found your channel! You are like the Bob Ross of woodworking, very creative and make it comfortable for me to learn and try to build something. I'm very new to woodworking and I'm creating some pretty great boxes thanks to you. Keep it up.

Funny because Bob Ross is sort of what I'm going for! 🤣 I don't get caught up in measurements. "This looks about right" is how I design things.

That's a nice box. Think the only thing I would have done differently, Is the handle. Have a 10 or 15 degree angle along the front and back would make it easier to grip and would look cool too.
@NewtonMakes2 жыл бұрын
I thought about it but kept it straight to better mirror the tray. Either way it would have turned out good.

Why do you thicken the board crown down cup up instead cup down crown up? I was always told to have 2 points of contact on the bottom to prevent rocking?!
@leonst63252 жыл бұрын
I love it. Sure is beautiful with that walnut. Can I ask a question as a newbie trying to learn and paranoid of wood movement...did you do anything on the bottom of the box to allow movement? Did you need to?? I get so confused on what needs to be done vs. not, etc. Thanks for any tips!
@NewtonMakes2 жыл бұрын
I have a video on making box bottoms that addresses these questions. I think it would help.
@in2rock2752 жыл бұрын
Great project and craftmanship, BUT...shouldn't the handle be similar to the one on the tray raising it off the top of the lid or at the least, beveled/angled on the sides so you can have something to grab onto? I would think just the strip down the center would make the handle hard to grasp, especially no higher than it is and with a lid this large. Or am I missing something?

No, never seen his stuff. I honestly just pictured what I needed in my head and made it. I imagine it's a common design.
@jonathanhamilton57522 жыл бұрын
How do you get your splines so long, extending out from the corner. I've done splines before but they aren't that long to avoid cutting all the way through. What's the thickness of the walnut? Maybe thicker than I was using? Nice work and nice jig!
@NewtonMakes2 жыл бұрын
I set the box in the spline jig next to the blade. I make sure that the blade is not higher than the inside corner of the box. The higher the blade, the longer the spline. I try to have it as close to the inside corner as possible. The thickness of the material is dependent on the size of the box. I'm pretty sure I said the thickness in the video.
@larryreeves42302 жыл бұрын
Nice project, but if you are going to cover the bottom with fabric, why waste the walnut for the bottom of the box?
@NewtonMakes2 жыл бұрын
I had fun in the shop making something cool which is never a waste. It may be picked up and people would see the bottom. Plus, I wasn't sure if I would add fabric when I made it. If you've watched my videos you'll know I go on the fly most of the time.
