Well done and thanks for sharing your passion with us. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you 👌 it’s a total pleasure
Another great project, video & end result. Your continued practice & effort put into each project every week is definitely proving to be a great success. From your 1st to this project, there is a noticeable difference in quality, design, effort, detail & craftsmanship. It all comes shining through within each project you bring to life. Congratulations, Mr. Billy, on proving to so many who watch your videos that you don't need thousands in tools & years of experience to create something that is not only useful but unique, practical & beautiful in all aspects. Reach for the stars, and eventually, you'll be sitting on the moon.

Thank you Tony 👌 my vision for this is keep it simple and don’t change what’s good 👍
He'll yeah Tony! I agree
Great job, well done👏
Thank you👌
Very nice. I like using scraps whenever possible especially when I'm making something to sell.
Definitely 👍
Excellent tote, Billy. Box joints came out real well. By continuing to challenge yourself with new methods of joinery, your skills are improving in leaps and bounds. The small sliding boxes are a great idea too. They were narrow enough to resaw in two passes on your table saw, which will reduce the thickness of the bottoms, making slightly deeper and two bottoms out of one board. It’s not nearly as difficult as you think, and you’ll be able to fancy stuff up considerably when you learn to do a grain wrap around the box. Even using pine for it can really make it pop. Just always use your push sticks.
Cheers fella, I was actually going to try and re saw the bottom which I will do on future projects etc. I’ve been looking at grain wraps so that’s now firmly on my list. 👌
Another great build Billy, well done mate. Great use for scrap wood and less on the carbon footprint keep up the great videos mate love em all.
Cheers fella and yes I most definitely will 👌
Love it Billy. Its a cracking little tote. Might make some up for friends of mine who have an allotment..❤️👍
Great idea.. I’m sure they would love that 👌
Hey, Billy. I like your unusual toolbox. Another useful video, too.
Thank you 👌
Nice job!!!
Thank you 👌
Very nice.
Thank you 👌
That's a handy little tote. Good Job. 👍
Thank you.. I’ll definitely use it in the workshop 👌
Wonderful tool box. I'll probably make one similar with my grandson. He is starting to show interest in woodworking. Thanks again for sharing.
That’s superb .. your grandson will absolutely love to make stuff.
Great video and presentation thx for sharing this project It turned out good Keep building
Cheers fella and yes I will do definitely 💯
I like it sir
Thank you 👌
Another cool Project and another great video!
Thanks Billy!
Thanks fella 👌
That's cool.
Thank you 👌
Nice one Billy. A little tip ….. when I’m marking out I often use low adhesive painters tape to pencil on to. It means I don’t have to sand my lines away before I do the assembly. Also, I try to sand everything before I do the glue up - makes it easier afterwards. Keep them coming boss !
Cheers fella that’s appreciated and I’ll use that tip thank you 👌
Tape trike is nice tip for me too. Sanding, just like me. Thanks and kee doing sawdust.
I made something similar years ago, a hand tool tray out of metal. Sheet metal worker by trade; now retired after 42 years. Looking to use my understanding in a new material. Thanks for the inspiration.
Your very much welcome.. I’m glad you got something from the video 👌
WOW! Love the tote Billy. Every video you inspire me… to go and make some sawdust.
Thank you.. get that sawdust going 🤣👌
Hi Billy , Like it, good little tool box , to be honest I think the handle looks good on there, in all a good project build and you will get years out of it. As always a great video take care
Cheers Shaun, yes it’s indestructible
That is a great looking tool box!
I'm a little surprised you didn't put your signature 3 hole trade mark somewhere on the box. Keeping the ends standing proud was a good decision.
Great job. I'll have to try that.
Thanks for a great project.
Thank you… I was going to put the holes on one of the handle supports .. looking at it now I probably should have 👌
@ Or even on the sides near a corner could work. Either it’s a fine piece.
Excellent project 👍🤓
Thank you 👌
Nice build, but I might make it with thinner wood to cut down on the weight. Might be a bit heavy when it's loaded with tools.
Yes your right, this one does have a bit of weight to it but I’m only using it here, if I was taking it out the weight would be a issue 👌
Love this. Perfect beginner project!!!!!
Thank you.. glad you enjoyed it 👌
You can't have anuf storage Billy keep up the good work rkid
Deffo fella.. cheers 🥂 👌
Great Little project that. I like how casual your videos are and the results are always great... I think I need to simplify my videos a bit... 😅
Cheers fella, don’t think too much when you do your videos just do them and you will find a natural style 👌 I’ll give your vids a watch
@thewoodjunki thank you very much...
I'm just getting back into recording again. Had a break for a few months.
@ you need a break sometimes fella..
@@thewoodjunki yes i agree😊👍
Love it Billy!
Thank you 👌
Nice job I’ve just started watching you in the past few weeks and you are inspiring me to make things I didn’t think I could love the simplicity of your builds look forward to the next video.p s love Stanley
Thank you.. I’m super glad you are getting something from the videos..
Simplicity is the key 👌
that turned out well, i like it. i checked on that sawblade and it is not sold in the US. i'm looking forward to the next video.
That’s bad they don’t sell into the USA 🇺🇸 I’ve got the company follow me on instagram I’ll try and find out if they have plans.. 👌
@@thewoodjunki thank you
Hey Billy, loved the video. What model dewalt saw are you using? I use an older model and notice yours has the 'brake stop', mine goes on for ages. Thanks in advance.
Hi fella.. it’s a DEWALT DWE 7485 GB
Fantastic saw it really is
Nice, but change the dimensions to make a 3 or 6 pack wine holder. Get the boys and the women.
Yes easily changed.. 👌 I’ll do one definitely 👍 and make a video
They say that a camera makes you look 20 lbs heavier than you are hence the wood looks bigger 😊
Yes it does or in my case I just like food 🤣👌
@thewoodjunki Ha ha I suffer that problem as well but just keep blaming the camera 📸
@ that’s the one fella 🤣
I refuse to watch, if I don’t know what you’re making.
👍
