    As ever; fascinating to watch the process, wonderful to see the finished product. This box is lovely- that birds-eye maple is so beautiful. Thanks for another very watchable (oops, sorry!) video!

    Impressive workmanship and a wonderful design. As for your adjustable shooting board, do you have a video of the making of it?

    • @GM_Design
      @GM_Design  6 месяцев назад

      Thanks so much 😀
      I use two shooting boards, the mitre one is hand made (no video I’m afraid) which is a variation on Paul Sellers design - ruclips.net/video/-Ypbvcxb-8M/видео.htmlsi=ZyGXn-gWuX3FTBQz
      The other is made by Veritas - www.veritastools.ca/en-ca/shop/tools/jigs-guides-and-fixtures/110737-veritas-shooting-board
      I hope that helps 👍

    Fiddling indeed but when every joint is tight and square it’s a beauty to behold.
    Especially with finish.

    Are there plans somewhere for the planer jigs? Also videos about hand plane use that you would recommend?

    • @GM_Design
      @GM_Design  7 месяцев назад

      I would recommend Paul Sellers & Rob Cosman as great channels. I just searched online for plans and found this - www.finewoodworking.com/project-guides/shop-projects/a-shooting-board-for-case-miters
      hope these help 👍

    great job loved the maple and teak combo. I uses to work in the boating industry and did a lot of work with both. Some of the guys that worked in my shop had reaction to the teak dust was wondering if you ever did

    • @GM_Design
      @GM_Design  7 месяцев назад +1

      thanks, they do go well together 👍 No never had a reaction to teak, I didn’t realise it was such an irritant, I must be a lucky one!

    I'm jealous of your shooting board and plane - what exactly IS that type of plane called? Great work. Love your videos.

    Lovely box. I like the maple and teak contrasts.
    You asked if you use too many clamps. For a small project like that, I would say you had clamp overkill. For the mitre joints and teak trim, the tape alone would be sufficient. There's also the risk of too much or uneven clamping force causing racking, or damaging the timber. While PVA needs clamping force, it doesn't need too much.

    • @GM_Design
      @GM_Design  6 месяцев назад +1

      thanks really pleased you liked it 😀
      Great point about the clamps, more is not always better 👍

    Finally! Someone who glues end grain something near the way Titebond says to do it. So many complain about low, end grain, glue strength and yet they don't apply an initial weakened coat of glue the way the manufacturer recommends. Thank you

    I would make handle in form of block of brass to mirror the hinges on the other side. Box looks gorgeous. Thank you for sharing the process.

      I was thinking the same thing with those distinctive brass hinges. I love the handle that was used, but would be interesting to connect the front and the back viably with matching brass shapes.

    Very nice! I liked how the finish made the “birdseye” pop out. BTW, wht was the finish you used on the inserts? I could not read wht was on the white container. Thanks!

    • @GM_Design

      The finish was Renaissance Wax www.amazon.co.uk/Renaissance-Micro-Crystalline-Wax-200/dp/B0015F2GEM/ref=sr_1_2?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.daJ2F2WEpnomuR_z_tK8eR7jW_P2gnGF2WmcIeJYtGSc6RvOaxlP648D45VDqblYGsqYigzMWPxlqRvuLOowhArJdgwhUD3MYHZrvyQidRqNR1Ef2o34lL1CqFglpNdtzIFGExyxYNTjh9-RboFzGW_-WWLbmbT3o4iO9a8QCiE1aWm7EuPAbQzKmaoOObVaWVqqkjpbC9cq7XyMtPbMgA4mLhe-1KDbWcFDte5dQeLcdmdvX3jIM0Izo4r_a-01sOS7MvRXCCRSdSWc8v6Hd8ZFW0h04WMbpddtggWoR-4.k3tWQK1KUonkKryYNqQAUgRoHK-_UHq-I6laACqaI9k&dib_tag=se&keywords=renaissance+wax&qid=1717405604&sr=8-2

    Why did you use Perspex rather than glass? Great attention to detail and a wonderful finished piece.

    • @GM_Design
      @GM_Design  7 месяцев назад

      thanks glad you liked it 😀
      I had some Perspex left over from a previous project and as it was for me I thought I’d use it up. If it was for a customer I would’ve used glass 👍

    • @GM_Design
      @GM_Design  7 месяцев назад +1

      thanks glad you liked it 😀 Didn’t feel it necessary to remove the lid to finish, the inside had already been pre-finished so was no issue applying to the outside with it still together 👍

  • @theofarmmanager267
    @theofarmmanager267 7 месяцев назад

    Shellac obviously has a few drawbacks (not stain resistant and not durable) but for a piece like this, it’s hard to beat. I’m not sure about the benefits of microcrystalline wax over a good quality paste wax?

    • @GM_Design
      @GM_Design  7 месяцев назад

      thanks 😀 No, not sure of any benefits just what I have to hand and like 👍

  • @OwlingDogDesign
    @OwlingDogDesign 7 месяцев назад

    I have a question, if you please. I am in awe of your planer set up. Did you build it or buy it? As you can imagine, I would love to have something like this... Love your videos! (My favorite finish is shellac. It's my go-to product for many reasons. I sometimes even 'tint it.' 😉

    • @GM_Design
      @GM_Design  7 месяцев назад +1

      thanks I’m so pleased you like my videos 😀
      The main shooting board & plane are both by Veritas, the 45° one I was using for all the miters is something I made myself 👍

    Brilliant detailed OCD artwork as usual Gary, well done! I’m fanatical about the smallest details of the pieces I make. I’ve been known to remake a project because “that one thing” wasn’t right.
    I’ve been scribbling some watch case ideas myself. What are the dimensions for each watch space you used in your piece if you don’t mind my asking? Thanks

    • @GM_Design
      @GM_Design  6 месяцев назад

      thanks 😀 Yeah I know that feeling!
      The spaces were 50mm (2”) x 80mm (3”) to fit the “pillows/cusions” I found online 👍

    • @tomowens2720
      @tomowens2720 6 месяцев назад

      Thanks for that, mine were similar based on the pillows I too found on Amazon. I look forward to your next project. I’m mid way through making a box based on the one you made from cycamore and zebrano. Maple & wenge for mine. Pardon if you’re annoyed I’m making a similar one.

    • @GM_Design
      @GM_Design  6 месяцев назад

      That’s great, maple & wenge will look amazing together 👍
