Mitered Keepsake Boxes
Here is a great woodworking project that only takes a few hours to complete. I made these easy to build keepsake boxes or gift boxes from a couple of off cuts that I had leftover from a past project. This is a great beginner woodworking project and an excellent way to use up the scrap lumber around the shop. I'm going to make a couple more just using hand tools so be on the lookout for that video. Thanks for watching!
Here is a link to a great book that has a bunch of good techniques and tips for building boxes. I use the finishing technique in this book for most of the wood boxes I make.

Restoring Molding Planes For Woodworking
Переглядів 1,2 тис.2 місяці тому
Even though I recently built a new router table, I prefer to stick molding by hand on woodworking projects when time allows. I recently picked up this no. 8 set of hollow and round molding hand planes and thought I would share how to tune them up and get them ready for use. Thanks for watching!
Roll Around Work Bench Build
Переглядів 9142 місяці тому
I made this roll around workbench to keep some of my metalworking projects separated from the woodworking areas of the shop. I plan to keep my 2x72 belt grinder, and saw on it most of the time but will probably use it as a welding table and wheel it around the shop for metal fab projects also. No talking, just some music I thought fit the dirty, grungy metalworking vibe for this welding project...
Building A Better Router Table
Переглядів 1,5 тис.3 місяці тому
I wanted to upgrade my router table to something that has better dust collection and is easier to use. This was a great addition to the shop. The router is an essential woodworking tool but it takes a while to set up properly and makes the biggest mess. I think this woodworking project will make using the router a little more enjoyable. Thanks for watching! Here are a some links to a couple pro...
Building a 2x72 Belt Grinder From A Kit
Переглядів 7 тис.3 місяці тому
I picked up this Revolution 2x72 belt grinder kit from Housemade Industrial. It cost about half of a production model belt grinder and took 8 or 9 hours to build. I wanted one of these to do some knife making, clean up blacksmith and metalworking projects, and to use for some of the Jeep fabrication work I do from time to time. I think it will be a great tool for the woodworking shop also. I ma...
Miter Saw Station Build
Переглядів 2 тис.4 місяці тому
I recently built this miter saw station to help me gain some storage to organize the shop. The simple T track and stop blocks will help me get more repeatable cuts. It's been a while since I posted but I have a few shop projects I'm working on and will hopefully get a couple more videos out soon. Thanks for watching! Here is a link to the Concealed Hinge Jig Kit I used for the doors on the Cabi...
Winding Sticks Build (Hand Tool Woodworking)
Переглядів 9 тис.4 роки тому
I made these traditional winding sticks as way to use up scrap lumber and build some hand tool woodworking skills. I had some walnut left over from another project and some holly pen blanks for inlays that contrast the dark wood and make reading the sticks easy. These are great hand tools for reading twist in rough lumber using traditional woodworking techniques or just flattening one side of a...
DIY Aquarium Stand Build

I built this modern style aquarium cabinet for a friend on a tight budget. I made this DIY woodworking project with inexpensive tools and materials. The construction is simple by using pocket holes and the cabinet can be made without a shop full of fancy woodworking machines.

Table Saw Outfeed Table Build
Переглядів 8 тис.4 роки тому
I made this simple outfeed table for may table saw. This was a quick and easy woodworking project that makes using a table saw much safer. I've made a couple similar outfeed tables in the past. They were inspired by one I watched Norm build on the New Yankee Workshop years ago. The simple design and construction leaves plenty of room underneath to store my trash can and saw horses. I hope you e...
Apothecary Cabinet Build
Переглядів 84 тис.4 роки тому
I made this apothecary style cabinet to store screws and nails in my wood shop. This small 12 drawer cabinet was a fun woodworking project that turned out to be a little more challenging than I originally thought. It's a little fancy to be used as a hardware cabinet but I think it will be a useful addition to the shop. Here is a link to the Pulls I used (Affiliate) amzn.to/2LkG4FC Here is a lin...

Solid process. Nice video and audio editing also, this was just the right length.
Thanks for watching! And for the feedback
Great work man. Those boxes looks very nice 👍
Thanks! I’m a fan of your work and channel!
They look great. I like the way there is a recess around the bottom.
Thanks! Yeah, it makes a cool shadow line
Very nice, definitely happy to have you back!
Thanks!
Nice
Thank you!
Stunning boxes, man! Really beautiful work! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks for watching!
Very nice work on those boxes! 👍👍
Thank you
Such a basic little project but you made it really informative and interesting with useful techniques at every stage, great video!
Hey, just found this video. Great build! I'm wondering: 5 years on, did you find the nailed drawer bottom or the glued case front gave you any trouble with seasonal movement? I feel like some folks are so paranoid about that sort of thing.
Thanks for watching. I haven’t had any issues with wood movement on this. I agree that people get a little too worked up about the wood movement in smaller pieces. I would definitely be concerned with big panels and table tops though
Good video. Thanks mate.
Thanks!
Fine craftmanship
Good to see you back. I always enjoy your videos!
Thank you!

Nice work and great commentary
Thank you!
Awesome
Hand tools make a difference and that's all I use. Excellent hand tool skills. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
Thanks for a well done video, but get a rubber mallet or your going to go ahead and give yourself tendinitis. The long term affect of using you hands as a hammer is lots and lots of debilitating pain.
Thanks and you’re right! I spent the first half of my career as an automotive technician using air guns, not lifting properly, hammering away with whatever was close(usually a part of my body). I always felt indestructible. Now in the later part of my 40s I am starting to see the effects of all of that work and abuse on my body. Good tip and thanks for sharing
I'm trying to figure out how to build said bench without a bench. Nice work man!
Very nice result! I have several to do myself.

Great video., beautiful build ! I really appreciate the show of details without dragging forever. Nice balance for us viewers :)
Thank you!
Goodnight! What is the value of this pedalboard in the video but measuring 40x70cm?
Very nice. I'm considering making a table like yours or buying a smaller fabrication table. langmuirsystems makes a very cost effective fab table, but I'm not sure about the price of materials for a table like yours. If you could do it all again would you stay with the 1/4" top, or go a bit thicker? I'm going to go off your table dimensions and get a quote for the metal. Thanks!
Thanks! I am happy with the top as it is. It has stayed flat but I would go thicker if a plate was available for the same price because it could only be heavier and more stable with something thicker
Best video I’ve found so far
Thank you!
Hi wat wax do u use.. ?? Cheers
I have used Johnson’s paste wax for years on all my bare metal surfaces but I’m almost out and they discontinued it. I heard minwax is close or the same but haven’t tried it yet
Do you have a Part list ?
On your tailboard, as a last step before marking the pins, we saw only sloping cuts down to fhe gauge line. do you make that a full shallow rabbet? Perhaps by following up with a router? Otherwise, seems impossible to keep things square, no?
Yeah, on wide panels like case side, I use a rabbet plane to do what you’re explaining. On narrow boards I usually just use the chisel like shown
I really want one of these. But how often do you rotate it to horizontal? Would you do this again or buy the vevor for $900?
Thanks for checking out the video! This may be a long response to your question but…. I haven’t used the vector grinder so i can’t compare the 2 but I was having the same thoughts you are before i bought the kit I have. I do have a vevor vacuum pump that came to me damaged. I contacted vevor and they said sorry but they couldn’t give me a replacement and to contact the third party supplier I bought it from (Amazon). I eventually complained enough that they did send me a replacement but it was a lot of trouble and 3 additional weeks to get a working unit. As for the grinders and price, the base kit is under 800 bucks. The motor and VFD are another 350 so $1150 total. It’s not much more than the Vevor grinder. I’ve been adding attachments and now starting to make accessories for my grinder but I didn’t have to spend that money up front to get grinding. For most of my life, I bought the cheap version of things and regretted it and in most cases ended up getting the better one anyway. Now days I’m in the buy once, cry once camp ( although I did like the Ameriprise grinder and set up but $4k is over the line for how much I will use the grinder). I don’t regret the revolution kit at all! I have used the horizontal feature twice in the last 2 months. It is in that orientation now. I’m making some hand plane irons and the sides need to be perfectly straight. The horizontal orientation seems to work well for that kind of work. I hope this helps but let me know if you have any other questions. Good luck!
@TwistedWorkshop77 thank you so much I think I will get to ordering
Beautiful work.
Thanks!
Good job on DTs. I like your register for the pins. I do everything the same, juat i prefer japanese saw. Best regards from Croatia 😊
Thanks! I may get a Japanese saw and give it a try sometime
Wait, there's a dovetail saw? What makes it that and what is the benefit it has over other saws for dovetails? Genuinely interested
Sure, no problem. Lots of different saws will work but a dovetail specific saw I like has a thin plate, teeth filed for rip, very little set, 15 teeth per inch or finer. The one I used here was tapered helping to not cut below the scribe line on the back side of the board
Could you explain the spring joint with the two boards? Its my first time hearing about it and it seems counterintuitive to me. Putting stress on the boards and forcing them together with just glue, seems like only a matter of time before they come apart.
Yeah, no problem. It’s a common hand tool wood working method. By creating a small hollow in the middle ( very small, .005 gap or less), you will apply pressure to the outsides of the boards when closing the gap with one clamp across the middle and reduce the number of total clamps needed for the glue up. I’ve never had one come apart.
Nice and clean project
I like your style.
Thanks!
Nice
Nice, what's the pale wood species?
Thanks! Poplar.
What is the tool stand you have for the grinder?
It is sitting on a metal work bench.
Very useful. Thank you 👍
Thanks! I just finished watching your video on the dovetail box. Great work!
Gota get some of that
Hello, i have a stupid question i have not got an answer so far. Why do ppl hit a wooden plane with iron!?
I use a metal hammer because it’s small and easy to use. Also because it’s easier to tap the wedge out of the plane with the cross peen part of a warrington hammer if needed. A wood mallet is fine too but a little bulky for me and the beech plane is pretty hard. The metal hammer doesn’t damage it
@@TwistedWorkshop77 al'right. I agréé for the wedge.
I knew you could do this with crazy glue but this looks just as good maybe better
I’ll just use a router bit.
Will you be able to get those lovely skinny pins?
@@leehaelters6182 yep.
@@mrb4408, describe the dimensions of your router bit.
@@leehaelters6182 They aren’t one size, dove tail router bits vary.
@@mrb4408, yes, I know. I am asking about the bit that you say will give you skinny lovely pins. They narrow to an 1/8" or less, I think. What router bit will give you that?
Very nice restoration work on those molding planes! Well executed! 👍👍
Thanks for watching!
I haven't done much metal work, but this video makes me want to start. That looks like that would make a good welding table, do you agree?
Yeah! I will use this to weld small parts together
Really good. Thank you
Thank you
Nice tips - Chris
Thanks!
Beautiful work, dude! They look and work great! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks so much! They are wonderful tools
Those really are beautiful tools, it was nice to see them restored so well. I hope to build the router table that you built in a previous video; that came out great, too.
Thanks! I love using the old hand tools. It really makes you think about grain direction and really work for a good result. Sometimes it’s nice to run a board over the router table though. The new table is much cleaner and easier to use. Let me know if you have any questions once you start your build
Thy I have a couple to restore myself.
Nice. Thanks for watching
