- Today we are going back to basics and making a very simple but elegant box. Will do miter corners and a simple easy to make rabbet lid. This is an easy project you could do for cheap and it only take about 15-20 minutes. For the finish I will be using one of my favorite wood finishes, Osmo. #woodworking #woodworkingprojects #woodenbox

Thank you for sharing. I will be using this method to build a few boxes for my tools
Wonderful!
Im loving your channel 😊
I'm so glad!
One of my new favorite woodworkers. Nice job.
Wow, thank you so much Kenerickson 4923
Brilliant video & explanation I will definitely be trying this method to make a box
I am so glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching
Very Nice, I really like your box !
Thank you!
Another really great video. You’re on a roll! I like this method for box making. I’ll be using what I learned here.
Hi Bobby! Glad you liked it
Amazing spice rack
Not bad , not bad at all !
One of the very best small box making videos I've ever seen, so straightforward and relaxed. Like the use of the sacrificial fence too. I noticed that you switched on the extractor manually: my workspace is smaller than yours and I invested in a remote switch for mine. It's a real time saver for me, keeping the little remote in my pocket.
Glad you liked it! Yes, I been turning on manually. I just bought the harvey gyro 700 dust processor and this one came with a remote :)
Nice little video. Easy to understand what you are doing. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
As a joiner of 45 years in the trade , I was taught to cut and then sand as the paper could leave small particals in the timber and dull your blade. Granted we were using more hand tools , planes ect... not trying to be a know it all, just something to consider. Nice boxes ...also , if you want a really flat reference surface for your sand paper, use a peice of plate glass.... 🤔😎🇦🇺👌 I love making small boxes as well . They make great gifts.
thanks for your comments about combustible finishes and rag disposal
❤ Du bist sehr talentiert. Hallo aus Texas
Nicely done, and you really did it without measuring. A simple project with splendid results. Cheers!
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice Build video. As a novelty prototype, many years ago I made small ring box with 4x mitres on every piece. Glued 5 together, mitred lid was great as it always seated and fit cleanly.
Very cool!
I just discovered your channel. I've been woodworking my whole life and you can always learn new techniques. You're great. More videos please!! Respect from Florida 🌴
Thanks and you are welcome Richard
I've watched thousands of woodworking videos over the past several years and yours are some of the best! I'm glad you popped up on my feed.
Wow, thanks!
Hi! I really like your way of teaching! Thanks for sharing and keep the good work!
Aww, thank you so much
You did an excellent job of building that box. One thing I've found handy, especially on bigger boxes with mitred corners, is to wrap the box with the stretchy plastic film, sometimes called plastic twine. Every wrap gets tighter and it puts even pressure all the way around. Keep up the great videos!
Great tip! Thank you
Nice work ! I discovered your channel yesterday, and subscribed : Great content, and very well explained. 5⭐️s
Your work is second to none may God continue to bless you and your family outstanding job great attitude great idea astounding work. Bottom line God bless
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your kind comment
Your videos are nicely done and easy to understand. Ive been a professional woodworker/refinisher for 29 years and enjoy learning things from you. Your advice on the oil soaked rags is very important, I learned myself after almost leaving a bucket of stain rags on my porch one night, but placed the bucket about 15 feet away in some rocks. The next morning there was a large blackened area and nothing but the metal bucket handle! Thanks for great videos!
Thank you very much! Oh, geez glad it was away from your house. You can never be too careful
thank you, love your channel.
Thanks for watching!
This is the first of your videos I've seen. You are very clear and concise, and have a great sense of when to show what you're doing versus skipping ahead. Best wishes growing your channel.
Wow, thank you DavZell
Well done young lady! As a cabinet/furniture maker for 40+ years....excellent quality
Wow, thank you!
Nicely Built 🙂
Thank you
Clever!
You are too smart! I have read some of the other comments, She said, it is a simple box!
:) Thank you
Just found your channel and am new to box making you are a very good teacher I will subscribe
Thank you so much. And welcome to the channel
Good tips on self combustion, due to that issue I mainly use Natural Mineral Oil, the mineral turpentine I use is inexpensive. Great simple and easy to follow video
Great point!
Thank you
Outstanding! I enjoy your accent, it's very relaxing. I only wish it were a few degrees cooler in the shop. New sub.
Thanks for the sub!
When you are taping up the four pieces for your box you could clamp a length of 2" x 1" along the bottom of you board to make alignment easier.
@woodworkingwithSkyler thanks for the lesson! Thanks for the fire safety tip. Perhaps I will leave a burn barrel outside the door and make it part of my ritual to burn under my watch...it's disturbing I could have unknowingly caused a fire!
A senior just getting into woodworking
That was a useful video and was successful using some plywood scraps but flipping the pieces looked odd showing different sides of the wood that didn't match. Would like to see your box making technique with seperate pieces so the grain would match. Still a good learning experience 😊
Glad it helped. Yes. Will make a video this week on that
Thanks for the video. It is curious that you did not rabbet the lid by standing the lid up and running it vertically, as well.
Enjoyed your video , how did you get into woodworking? Keep up the excellent work, love your attention to detail and your accent is lovely ❤️
Thank you very much! In November 2022 took a woodworking class where I made a coffee table from construction grade 2x4s
I loved it and for Christmas got a table sa and a miter saw. I been building stop ever since and loving every minute of it:)
You are an inspiration because of your simple explanation and creativity. What country are you originally from?
Thank you so much 😀 Romania
I tested the linseed oil throwing wet rags in my shop’s fireplace and only the next day when I was working there I saw the rags starting burning and was like magic. Anyway my son used to soak his axes with linseed oil and we used to throw them in the trash 😳 I didn’t know they could start a dire back then.
Hey, great little channel. Best of luck growing 🍈 🍈
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it

Got my critical socks on. You make a nice video, things move along well, but if anyone takes it as "THE way" to make a box, I suggest a few additional things to consider.
3:30...when miter cutting the edges, if you use an angle that is very slightly less than 45 degrees the mitered and glued joints will fit together better and not visibly open later. Search around, this is not an unknown technique, hope it helps.
Good use of the stop block for making a square box, but cutting two pair of sides at different lengths allows for rectangular boxes.. a matter of personal preference.
Aligning the bottom edges of the box wall sections along a straight edge will ensure they fold up without (much) misalignment.
Adjust your tablesaw blade for a "deeper" cut so each tooth comes "down" on the wood being cut, rather than "along" it. Depth of blade is sometimes controversial, but it's a situational thing, I like what is most likely to work well. I see you are using a pretty rough cutting blade (low tooth count), you will improve your cuts by using a blade with more teeth.
12:47 rounding the edges of the box makes it easier to hand, a matter of opinion, but drop it on your foot and you'll understand. Even if you miss your foot, a sharp edge will show every ding and dent, which rounded corners will resist somewhat. You note breaking down the edges at 13:16, one of the things that make the box feel better is that your skin is dusty after sanding.
16:11 surely you can do better than trial and error to accomplish the rabbet on the box top. Trial and error is a well-proven technique to waste wood. Next, rather that cutting the rabbet at 90 degrees, giving it a slight taper will allow the box top to "find" its way onto the box rather than having to exactly align it. You can still leave the last little bit a 90 degrees for a tight fit.
17:27 don't you use a tack cloth to remove dust prior to applying the finish?! Nor wet the surface to raise grain which you then sand off?
Your videos are fun to watch! I noticed you are getting burning even when you are cutting quickly. I also notice that your saw blade has a lot of pitch on it. I bet if you cleaned the blade you would minimize or even eliminate the burning problem.
Thank you so much for the tip. I don’t know how to clean a blade. I will be doing some googling then attempt to clean it.
@@woodworkingwithSkyler It's more likely due to the blade not being properly aligned with the miter gauge slot. There is a tool kit made specifically for this purpose, which is not too difficult to use, and it does a great job. You'll get much cleaner cuts once you verify the blade is aligned with the miter gauge slot.
Or blade not sharp. Get a new blade
Would you consider doing a video about using a table router?
I'm trying to make necks for cigarbox guitars, but I'm having real problems trying to get my routing even on both sides of the guitar neck.
Please help🙏
Yes, Table router videos are coming
I usually put the rags on a line I have outside.
That’s a good idea
Would the height have to be the same as the side's?
I have nice board but only 3 inch wide
I recommend to us the 'Million Dollar Stick' from Izzy Swan
Thank you. I just bought one per subscriber’s recommendation
Loving the videos so far! But about the tissue box. Are you a Daily Stoic fan or just stoicism in general? Or was it for someone else? Or not related at all? 😁 Thank you for the entertainment and the information!
:) my husband is very stoic in general, and a Daily Stoic fan. I made it for him to match his bedside table I built for him a while back( the stand didn’t have the coin of course, just walnut)
@@woodworkingwithSkyler lol very nice! I really like the design, but now im picturing a nightstand with a proportionally sized gold coin 🤣 ... that man is lucky enough as it is! Thanks!
Appreciate the comment on Linseed Oil (Really ALL oils). I have seen other oils also self combust. Burbon Moth did an entire video with emperical evidence showing the spontaneous combustion of oil soaked rags. Dangerous stuff. Glad you are careful too!
:) Hi Danbrownlee4400 I saw his video . Very informative. He has great tutorials. I am thinking about building a bed for my daughter with one of his plans
I love watching you work the wood.
I recently bought a whole face shield. Was cutting some oak quarter round a piece flew off didnt hit me but all i could think was possinle hole in my face. Now i have a face shield eye shield combo mask
Oh, wow. Face shield sounds like a good choice.

Pleas do show the continuous grain method!
Will do once recover from surgery (had carpal tunnel surgery this Tuesday) so no videos for a few weeks
@@woodworkingwithSkyler
Hope all goes well & a quick recovery ❤️🩹
@@patseevers262 thank you
Did it hold up without splines?
Yes
Good video. Curious, what microphone you are using?
Thank you. It’s a Ulanzi J12. I use it because it plugs into iPhone and I use my phone for my filming. I have lots of professional cameras and microphones ( I am a professional photographer and have a photography RUclips channel) but too afraid to use my fancy cameras and microphones in a shop full of dust. I have a few cheap Ulanzi microphones that were sent to me for review so that’s what I am using
@@woodworkingwithSkyler thanks. I completely understand as I work in my woodshop daily.
@@woodworkingwithSkyler I'm trying to improve my videos for my own youtube channel. Thanks for the information
I love it. Please don't speed up the hand-sanding.
Hand sanding is boring! Nobody wants to see that!
@@woodworkingwithSkyler is not boring
@@woodworkingwithSkylerBoring or painful. I worked for a furniture manufacturer where people were paid piecemeal. I saw lots hand sanding, the. Bandages on the workers hands. While I never desired to sand my hands as once or twice was enough. Follow your muse to successful visions. If he wants to watch hand sanding of either variety. He has phone. Let him make his own videos and watch them to his hearts content. Maybe post them and grow his kwn channel.
A good instructor demonstrator, a virtuous wife. God bless.
For you Pervie Handcocks: watch these for hand- sanding:

Hours of it. Have at it. Good day!
Your box did have a snug fit. 😉
With a solid glued bottom aren't you worried about wood expanding and contracting with humidity?
At the time I made that video I didn’t know much about wood expansion. However , is been about a year and I that box os been in my daughter’s room on her dresser, I just looked at it today and it looks perfect. No issues at all. Maybe I just got lucky…
If the wood is sufficiently dry, and then oiled as in this case which limits any moisture uptake, the box should be OK. 👍
*I throw the Rags in my Fire Pit... LOL*
:)
What does box sell for?
I didn’t make it for sale but I am sure you could change $49.95
Hint : for a sanding base use MDF instead of plywood. It's smother and much flatter.
Great tip. Thank you
If i was you get dust bag for tablesaw
For waiting for wood glue to dry just ass super glue with your wood glue for a temporary hold till your wood glue dries use a acetone spray for fast reaction for the super glue thank me later
*Do you do this for a Living? or is Wood Working a Side Gig for you?*
Just a hobby for now

*There is something to be said about the ability to make something with your own hands.*
@@Ricks2Cents hi Rick. Yes, always a good feeling to see something you finished building. This days there are more and more women starting in woodworking, which is great

*I Subscribed Looking forward to your Next Build*
@@Ricks2Cents thank you for the sub
Fingers!!!

Pleased to see you are now going to keep your fingers away from saw blades. Just take care.
I'm gonna be honest the blonde hair and boobs brought me here, but your explanation of woodworking projects have kept me here ❤
:)
Skyler you are absolutely gifted, your workshop is absolutely awesome, I'm jealous...will you give a shop tour please .
Greetings from cork Ireland
@@jigsey. thank you. Yes, will do
I spoke too soon - push stick on your table saw.
You need to wait a few second when you urn the saw on. You can possible have a very ugly accident.
Thank you. Will make sure I do from now on
A higher necked shirt or no push-up bra would make watching be a bit more neutral.
I guess it's time for everyone to resort to "look at my tits" thumbnails. Too bad I don't have any.
Great work! You are a well built, strong and clever woman, keep up the good work!
Thank you so much!
You'd get better, smoother finish cuts, without burn marks, by using a better blade. Try something like the Diabo by Freud D1060X 10" x 60 Tooth Fine Finish Saw Blade or the Freud 1080X 10" 90 tooth fine finish blade. You can also reduce burning, especially on hardwood wood like cherry, walnut and oak by pushing the work through the blade slower. Eliminate tear out by using a backing piece. Using tape is dangerous and will gum up the blade.
Thank you. I thought I had a pretty good blade ( ridge carbide, around $160). Maybe using a full kerf blade is not ideal on job sites saw. Usually thin kerf is recommended
