i love watching these. inspiration!

Nothing melts away stress more than a skilled artisan planing a beautiful piece of wood. Always love the big reveal of the final wood texture as the finish is first applied. Beautiful work as always.

Very nice

My congratulations to you. A lovely box and a lovely video. After more than 45 years woodworking (and 40 years of rugby), my neck, back and shoulders are shot. So, I can only use hand tools for a very limited period. Still love the sound and feel of a sharp tool on hardwood. If those mitres hold without reinforcement, then good on you. I must admit that I always add keys. I had several failures before. I admire your courage in texturing the top after the box had been assembled; I would have done that before in case I messed up and/or didn’t like the result. I see you using Tung oil. I have to say that I stopped using products like Tung oil, Teak oil or even 1 pack hard wax oils since 2 pack became available. With 2 pack, the piece can be handled within an hour; so freeing up my bench and also stopping dust ruining the finish. Late last year, the Wood Whisperer published a video reviewing all 2 pack HWO. The winner was Natura Onecoat. If you get the chance, I’d suggest you try some. It is very good; far better in my view than any others.

What a beauty. Thanks for this moment.

I made a similar box at school 40+ years ago except my cruel teacher insisted on hand cut dovetails. I think it was the best project i made at school. Your video brought back memories and your box is fantastic. Although i can hear my woodwork teacher Mr Floyd shouting “don’t sit your place on the bench like that, it will get blunt”. Not sure how true that was but until today I always place my plane on its side when i put it down.

That chisel guide for the mitred corners... Fantastic and simple!

Je suis en extase devant vos video!! Deja pour le travail manuel fournit qui est juste magnifique, pas de blabla entendre le son du rabot sur le bois, la scie le découper c'est un regale,et le résultat final a tomber par terre!! Merci de faire vivre ce magnifique metier a travers vos video

Nicht nur ein Kästchen für Schmuck, sondern ein wahres Schmuckkästchen.

Magnificent box. You never deny yourself. Great artist

This is an artistic representation of patience and dedication.

Man Yurii, I think this might be one of my favorite boxes. I absolutely love the scalloped texture. Wonderful.

Gorgeous as usual!! Thank you for sharing with us!

You make the raised panels look so easy, but it takes a master craftsman to make what you did. As always, incredible video and craftsmanship!!

Really beautiful.

Great work as always!!

Beautiful workmanship. I prefer building with hand tools too. It's quieter, cleaner, more relaxing, safer, etc. I always enjoy watching fellow craftsmen doing their thing. I hope you don't mind, but I have "liked" and "subscribed!" Take care!

Very Very nice.

This video is very relaxing. Thanks for making this with no music except at the end.

Stunning!

Wohltuend, die Ruhe und Geduld, mit der du deine Projekte realisierst.👍🏼

Beautiful. So enjoyable to watch the whole process.

I really enjoy the variety of design elements you use. I read about this skill in a book called, "The why and how of wood working" I see you always incorporate tactile features, like gouging, and carving. This helps provide a sensory connection during use. You also add wonderful proportions and color contrast making the piece look visually interesting. and usable. I value your emphasis on these details. Great Craftsmanship and Best wishes!

Such a gift you have. Many thanks for sharing.

Great work, beautiful and very well built, congratulations! Thanks a lot for sharing.

Beautiful. Such delicate work.

Wow. That says it all!

Beautiful and inspiring. Thank you

Very relaxing to watch you make a beautiful piece of art.

excellent work, great video - I will pass this on!

Идеальная работа мастера! Спасибо Юрий за эмоции, ничего лишнего, только умиротворение!!! Идеально!!!

GReat work!

Belíssimo trabalho!

Bonjour, J'ai découvert votre site en Amérique. Votre travail est à la hauteur du savoir bien acquis et transmis. Merci depuis la Haute-Savoie, en France. Cordialement, Thierry Hello, I discovered your website in America. Your work lives up to the well-acquired and transmitted knowledge. Thank you from Haute-Savoie, France. Sincerely,

That's a beauty!

I hope that was as much fun to make as it was to watch. Lovely work

Gorgeous

I loved how u used the gouging tool to make that beautiful look to the top piece of the box. I have to say my favourite part is always watching the maker finish off the piece with oils or wax or whatever finish they decide to use and that music was pretty special too bro. About 18 months ago I began to play about a bit with woodworking and found I had a bit of a passion for it. I don't have ur skills but I am learning as I go. I will have a lot of mistakes along the way but the nice part is making something with our own hands bcos these skills will be lost one day in the future unless great ppl like u keep it going. I have found some really fine woodworkers who use mostly hand tools. It's cool to watch u guys at work and see how much u put into a piece. What is the make of Hand plane u were using there man? It looks a very expensive one. It just has a heavy feel to it. Keep up the great work man. That's a piece to be happy with. I would be if I could make it. What was the plane called u used to cut the rebate in the box sides early in this video? I'm new to hand planes and I would love to have a plane to could cut those rebates and sweet looking grooves into nice wood. Sorry pal I'm waffling on a bit here. I only just found ur channel 15 mins ago, watched this video and I really enjoyed it bro. I will be watching for more great content now too.. Take it easy man. TAKE CARE

Absolutely beautiful. 👍👍

Absolutely beautiful amazing build as usual

A beautiful example of artistic expression

simply SPLENDID

Parabéns...pelo lindo trabalho 😊

Perfect!!!!

From one George to another George: Beautiful build. I admire not only your woodworking skill but also your excellent videography as well.

Another masterpiece sir and I very much like the stippling effect on the top. Thank you once again for sharing.

Relaxing video and the box is beautiful!

Beautiful

lovely!

So beautiful. Your videos really help me relax ❤

Such a beautiful job!

Perfecto Gracias por este video

Great job, great idea, thanks for sharing it!

Beautiful work and inspiring video. Thank you 🙏

Very satisfying to watch. Exquisite craftsmanship.

Muy buen trabajo!! Felicitaciones

Very nicely done. One critique. By using a single long board for the case only three of the joints will be grain matched. A shorter board resawn would give you a grain match on all four corners. Excellent texturing of the top.

Lovely work and beautiful timber. Well done

Beautiful work 👏

Love the 45 degree piece of wood to use as a mitre jig with the chisel!

Great 🙌🏼

Being a lefty myself I feel your pain having to endure using right handed tools. 😉😉 Joking aside, that was beautiful work.

Прекрасная работа! Приятно смотреть.

Beautiful..

Well done young man. A pleasure to watch you work. I have some nice walnut and figured maple that would look nice together. Time to sharpen my planes

Inspiring!

Such an amazing work and awesome result. Thank you so much 👍

great to watch you and get inspired - thank you

Amazing.

Красивая работа, красивое изделие.

that's lovely! you've inspired me to want to make one myself!

Beautiful work, Yurii! Great idea about the lid!!! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Alat alatnya canggih sekali

Bravo...

The video I’ve been waiting for you to make! Keep these coming!

Excellent fit and finish. Well done. 😁🇨🇦

It was a lovely day at my work/life and finished the day off with watching this video as a 🍒 on the cake here in Hong Kong as a dutch joiner,,, fantastic and satisfaction to see more shivu,s. (masters) , but just one thing, if i put the block planer on the sharp edge when i was 18 during school times the teacher would hit me on my hands with a rooler 😂,🙏💪😇

Prachtig!

Very nice! As usual... love the ideas and craftsmanship. Very relaxing video! Impressive

Amazing. Absolutly marvelous.
