  • Watch Jimmy DiResta build a classic wood toolbox. Jimmy used reclaimed white oak stair treads to make this tool chest. There are some great woodworking techniques demonstrated in this project, including how to make box joints, how to make a lap joint panel, how to install butt hinges, tips for driving brass screws, and how to install some interesting lid support and catch hardware.

    "Somebody somewhere is gonna buy that at a Fleamarket in a hundred years"
    What a wonderful sentiment to keep in mind as you build something.

      Agree. Try that statement for some of the crap that is out there. This is true craftmenship, which are very rarely found these days. I love the build. True art.

    As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement ruclips.net/user/postUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!

    I love your last comment Jimmy! Someone is going to buy that at a flea market in 100 years. And the cycle continues! That how we should all feel about everything we make! Make it to last not only us but generations to come. Great video for a great box!

    As always another awesome video! I really like this toolbox. I restore hand planes and currently use some canvas tool bags for all of my odds parts that I keep to complete planes that are missing a frog or tote or whatever. I really like this box and will be building one soon. I really like your sanding board. My grandfather always had clever techniques to accomplish a task. I took my wife and granddaughter to the local farmer's market today and there was a little table for a local maker-space group and I thought of you. I told my wife that Jimmy DiResta would like that. It is nice to see people just making something with their hands. Thank you for sharing with us! A shout out from Fate, TX.

  • @johnadams6440

    Order of operations: If you planed them for thickness before cutting the pieces to length you'd avoid all of that chatter on each individual piece.

    • @JDeWittDIY
      @JDeWittDIY 4 года назад

      Yep. Joint one side, resaw to get thinner boards, plane to thickness, cut to length.

    • @frogsoda
      @frogsoda 4 года назад

      Or push the pieces through one at a time, using one piece to push the last piece through so that there are no gaps. No gaps, no snipe

  • @lsdave
    @lsdave 7 лет назад +127

    You should get a stamp with the year on it, so in a hundred years, the person that buys it knows when it was made!

    • @drmkiwi
      @drmkiwi 7 лет назад +1

      Good idea, but just writing the year under the stamp would probably suffice. Sort of adds a bit more "personalization" to the piece without the hassle of having to keep changing stamps.

    • @paulmormile5763

    Thank you for the last statement as this is a heirloom project as I'm currently in the process of designing a toolbox similar to this for my 4 year old daughter to store her tools for her lifetime. This is an absolutely beautiful design and I'm going to definitely incorporate the paneling technique on the lid and bottoms into her toolbox design. Thank you once again and keep up the wonderful work.

  • @alexanderpaaskeborjesson3574
    @alexanderpaaskeborjesson3574 7 лет назад +2

    I just saw the video without sound, and maybe Jimmy adressed this in the video but I still wonder. How come he used a a ship lap joint with the lid and the bottom, but then glued them together? And then glued and nailed the panel directly on the box? This seems to be a poor combination because it does not include the possible movement of the wood. As soon as white oak panels swells, the panel will crack or the box burst? As I said, maybe Jimmy maybe dresses it up in the video ...

    • @jimmydiresta
      @jimmydiresta 7 лет назад

      Alexander paaske Börjesson I did consider this. Not sure what can happen. I'll do a follow up in. 6-10 months.. I suspect a little movement. Not enough to break the box.

    You and my Father would have gotten along great. He was like you (excuse me for saying it this way), "Jack-Of-All-Trades, Master-Of-None". With the exception of giving birth and breast feeding I honestly don't think there was nothing he couldn't do. He taught me so much, about life, how to treat people (even those you don't really care for!), cooking, fishing, farming, ranching, carpentry, welding, etc... The only thing I could never do was electrical work. I'm the worse kind of color blindness there is.

    The water in the the glue promotes galvanic corrosion, as it dries, oxidizing and ultimately screwing ya all.
    Me, I cover the bottom clamps with any uniform material, cardboard, kraft paper, even cloth... like burlap, which nicely soaks up the excess that would otherwise foul the tabletop.
    Also... if you are careful, use few or no metal clamps, a glass tabletop is very easy to clean...and works well.
