This was great, thanks, I've been looking for "woodworking desk accessories" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Yiyli Yeyavid Booster - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my neighbour got amazing results with it.
Yeah that's what the good video makers do. Idiots get on you tube and try to hold the caner, talk, and work on something all at the same time. Like dude we can't hear you all hunched over with your head under the hood lol
WOW Jay you really knocked this out of the park. Both boxes are absolutely beautiful what a amazing job. Going to watch this video a lot. There was quite a few steps that I just want to see again so that one day I can try these methods. Thank you you are a inspiration to all Woodworker's.
Great project, Jay. Time for a helical head planer for you and I, it seems. I had the same trouble with tearout on the conference table I built recently, where I was using figured Walnut.
Jay, your work is awesome. Thank you for putting out these very informative and entertaining projects while explaining your work so all can understand.
Thanks so much for the tip regarding the table saw step to separate the top and bottom of the box. I have screwed up more than one project by cutting all the way through the stock. Now I know what to do. Thanks for your advice Jay! Kenny C.
Jay, Those are some beautiful boxes. You are going to make a few people very happy. Thanks for taking time to video and share this project with everyone, Jim
Beautiful work there Sir! I think I learn something from everyone of the videos you make. Not sure what my family would do with a little box each for Christmas, but I have tucked your techniques away in my brain for future use. Thanks.
Very beautiful work Jay. I'm really enjoying your journey into hand tools and hardwoods. I'm currently working on my first figured wood project. I'm cherishing the process of learning to deal with uncooperative grain. Thank you for sharing the important tips like waxing the hinge screws, and skewing the plane for a paring cut. Thank you again for sharing and keep up the good work.
Three Thumbs up for this one Jay.. 1 Beautiful Wood, 2 Very good craftsmanship in the making, 3 helpful tips for others to learn from. I am sure the recipients will appreciate the effort you have put in.
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL job on those boxes. I'm a new woodworker and your videos have been extremely inspiring and helpful. Thank you very much and I look forward to all your content.
Beautiful work Jay and you have some lucky friends/relatives that will receive them this Christmas. Also - your wood selection skills is unparalleled. Congratulations on 300k, Happy Christmas, keep making great stuff. Chuck in Kansas
Great job on the boxes. The inlay on the lid and the base really makes the grain on the side walls pop. Lovely gifts. Thanks for sharing your skills and tips. Best wishes
I recently used this technique to make a few medium sized boxes and I gotta tell you, it worked like a charm! Great idea for making your own "plywood" for the top and bottom, too. Thanks for the tip.
Absolutely beautiful !!!! But then, your work is always so precise that it always completes with great beauty. Those on your Christmas list receiving one of these boxes should be elated.
Doing small, time consuming, delicate work like this, regularly...is one step closer to being a finer wood worker. Kudos Jay...you do good work my friend.
Not only a beautiful project, but very well explained, and well shot. Cood camera angles of every example you carefully explained. A great example of exactly what a how-to video should be. Thanks.
O man, good tips and insight, thank you! I had to stop and write this comment after you suggested testing the 45 degree angles with plywood... wish I'd thought of that last time!
Great boxes and great video,I appreciate the tips and explanations of why you are doing a certain operation. Like the planing and little twist at the end! Always a joy to watch and I always learn something!
I agree the best gifts are made with love and care. By the way, I enjoy seeing the Detroit Lions, Tiger’s and Detroit Red Wings flying in the background. Learning how to create the box made me click on the video.The flags waving in the background made me stay for the whole video. Good job!
Hi Jay, the technique of cutting the box and lid apart is one I teach to my furniture students, works so well. But students still manage to find a way to stuff up the cut. Very beautiful boxes, well made.
Hey Jay, the boxes are so amazing ,the looking at your videos is so fun and so full of information is a really great channel Greetings from Vienna-Austria
Great video as always Jay. FYI Matt Cremona explains in one of his videos how to keep grain flowing around the box. Keep it up buddy you continue to inspire me.
People who like gifts more because you made them, are just as happy to spend time with you. They are just as happy, if you are happy. Actually, you could make something they don't want, but they would like it because they love you. Yeah, boxes are great gifts.
awesome build love the idea of using the table saw to split the boxes but only going so far in. I've always used my bandsaw but going to try the table saw way you did. thank you for making and posting your videos.
this is awesome! for more reasons than most would realize. But before I say anything else, let me say 'Lucky friends!' This guy is amazing! he has the tool power, the tool safety, the tool skills and the big one "patience" everything in this video leads me to believe he is 100% self taught . carry on Jay
Great choice of wood! The walnut inlay stands out nicely. The techniques used in the build are top notch. I wish I had the patience to create boxes with perfect corners. I've tried the shooting board method and it's a much tighter miter joint.
I am also making this box with highly figured maple from Bob Kloes custom furniture. He always has fantastic wood and is a great guy. As an added bonus, his shop is only 20 minutes away!
That was some nice timber used to hold the blue tape in place. It's a good thing to do, but you are sooo correct. It takes ages to put all that tape on.
So a helical head is up next for your planner? Really beautiful boxes! When using solid brass hinge screws, I will get the same size in steel and use them to "tap" the threads in the wood. The steel screw is less likely to break. If I plan on removing the hinge as part finishing or such I use the steel screws until I mount the hinge for the last time. Looking forward to part 2.
Ohhhhh, my goodness!!!! That's about all I can say, Jay! I hope you brand or mark those boxes with your logo before you gift them to someone. Who knows how far into the future someone will want to know who made those things with such genuine caring?
Beautiful work! It seems like you have come so far since half-lap 2x4 hope chests! (Although those were pretty cool too!) Thanks for the content. I am always looking forward to you next video.
Great little boxes. Your presentation and editing skills are always awesome. Another thing I do besides not cutting the lids all the way through is to put a 7 1/4" skillsaw blade with a super thin kerf on my tablesaw which makes the missing grain even less noticeable.
I've been studying videos, because I want to make some trading card boxes. Your video was amazing. I plan to watch it a few times to get a better idea of what to do, but very informative, and you made it very easy to follow along. They look amazing.
Love having the narration through the video. You pack so much information in. The boxes are stunning Jay, great job.
April Wilkerson you my favorite hard wood worker I always wach you videos:)

Yeah. My wallet doesn't agree though.
Jay Bates mine neither, hah.
I just started my woodworking journey and I learned so much! Feel so inspired. Thanks!
Jay, your work is awesome. Thank you for putting out these very informative and entertaining projects while explaining your work so all can understand.
These are beautiful boxes. The amount of work that goes into such small projects is astounding. Great job.

Congrats on getting 300k subs! Amazing boxes it's awesome to see your skills improve over the years!
I really like his project. Especially the use of the different colour wood around the edging it really makes it stand out😊
One of my favorite woodworkers to watch! Thanks for the awesome video!
Lovely job Jay. An exercise in accuracy with a super result. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for sharing =) The boxes are pieces of art! Really beautiful work!
Beautiful work. Any one would be delighted to receive such a timeless gift.
Beautiful boxes, Jay. And very well explained. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome work. Setting up and order with Bob and just ordered the DW735X! Only $499 on amazon right now. You're right, this hobby IS addicting!
I agree the best gifts are made with love and care. By the way, I enjoy seeing the Detroit Lions, Tiger’s and Detroit Red Wings flying in the background. Learning how to create the box made me click on the video.The flags waving in the background made me stay for the whole video. Good job!
The idea for cutting the tops off is really great, I've watched many channels where they cut all the way through and tape in spacers
Pure art Jay. Like watching Picasso work. Been an inspiration. Thanks again for another great video
Hi Jay, the technique of cutting the box and lid apart is one I teach to my furniture students, works so well. But students still manage to find a way to stuff up the cut. Very beautiful boxes, well made.
The spalted wood one is just amazing. Thanks for sharing.
One of the better box videos on the tube. Well thought out and presented. Lucky person who gets one of those boxes!
Fantastic! I have several 2” thick cherry boards that needed a project. You’ve inspired me once again.
Great job Jay. Love the figure of the wood used for this project.
Jay, I really enjoy watching you work. It's like watching Bob Ross paint those amazing scenes, like him, you make it look soooooo easy. :)
Those are beautiful. Congrats hitting 300K!! Well deserved.
Awesome video. I had never viewed any of your videos but you are incredibly well descriptive and straight to the point. Keep up the good work.
You do very impressive work. Gifts that will always keep on giving.
Your wooden box is like perfection and the wood is just beautiful

Great tutorial and good job on the boxes. Very inspiring.
Beautiful craftsmanship Jay, and very well done video.
beautiful boxes Jay im sure the recipients will cherish them for ever
These are really nice.
I made wooden hinges from contrasting wood and a brass pin. Works really good, and is really pretty.
what a workshop - so neat, tidy, clean, organised.
I just finished a really nice box for my mother in law, might make some more... forgot how much fun boxes are
Wow! These are amazing! You're so precise is amazing.
I am also making this box with highly figured maple from Bob Kloes custom furniture. He always has fantastic wood and is a great guy. As an added bonus, his shop is only 20 minutes away!

Outstanding woodworking high quality video and sound. Thank you
Wow beautiful!! The detail is impeccable!
Beautiful project, looking forward the other boxes
Very nice! These videos are a fabulous source of information, keep them coming.
I appreciate your video editing. Sometimes that takes as long as the actual build.
I did some boxes in the same way :) Thumbs up! They are beautiful!
Wonderfull work, beautiful wood, fantastic machines, Congratulation to a masterpiece🥇👍
Nice idea about building with scrap wood to check the mitre. Never thought of that. Amazing video, thank you so much.
I love that Curly Maple. Makes such beautiful knife scales. And, apparently, beautiful boxes as well... Who knew!?
Ohhhhh, my goodness!!!! That's about all I can say, Jay!
I hope you brand or mark those boxes with your logo before you gift them to someone. Who knows how far into the future someone will want to know who made those things with such genuine caring?

Beautiful craftsmanship and some great, useable tips.
don't know how many times I watched the video preview loop, so pleasurable
beautiful! the wood is amazing!
It is the most clean workshop I have seen on youtube.
Those came out gorgeous Jay, nice job!
Impressive craftsmanship! Keep up the goos work!
I've been studying videos, because I want to make some trading card boxes. Your video was amazing. I plan to watch it a few times to get a better idea of what to do, but very informative, and you made it very easy to follow along. They look amazing.
Those are great boxes. I'm sure the recipients loved them!
Awesome box! I'll have to add that to my list of builds.
