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.
Love your wood working skills when you are making your boxes. Equality, thank you for your great video showing step by step procedure when making your boxes. Martin
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
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.
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.
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!
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
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?
@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!
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! 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:)
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.
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 🌴
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.
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 😊
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.
@@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.
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
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🙏
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…
@@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.

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

:) 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!

I have a few cheap Ulanzi microphones that were sent to me for review so that’s what I am using

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.

You are an inspiration because of your simple explanation and creativity. What country are you originally from?
Thank you so much 😀 Romania
Very nice. Thank you.
Thank you too!
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.
Have you check Ocooch hardwood for your wood?
Would the height have to be the same as the side's?
I have nice board but only 3 inch wide

If the wood is sufficiently dry, and then oiled as in this case which limits any moisture uptake, the box should be OK. 👍

You'd get better, smoother finish cuts, without burn marks, by using a better blade.
