- In this video I go through the processes of building a simple hope chest. The project is very cost effective and simple to make! If you enjoy, please like, comment, and subscribe!

Simplicity sells. Nice work. It will be passed down through generations.
amazing work from a very nice young man. It makes me feel so good to see that there are still young people who want to make things, build, and do things the "old fashioned" way! I loved this build!
That is so pretty! It’s so hard to find someone to make these!!
The project came out looking nice.
Just one question or a tip for the future, with all of the pocket holes you used, why not assemble the box itself with them? With plywood especially, a pocket screw joint is considerably stronger than a joint with the screw going into the edge (end grain) of the piece. The screw is much more likely to pull out or split out the side.
Looks amazing but simple?
Tge molding was totally unnecessary but nice work, maybe I'll try it 👌
I'm a beginner, very inexperienced. Could a Kreg jig be used for all the sides?
Steven Castelletti Yes you could certainly use a Kreg jig throughout the project. You'd have to plug and/or fill the holes after everything's been assembled.
I made a Hope Chest for my Wife back in April for our Anniversary, it was my first attempt, had never built anything like this before, but it came out so well, even if I say so myself lol
To answer your question, yes, Kreg system worked very well for me - I set the front, back and two sides on top of the bottom panel and used Kreg screws to hold them in place by drilling holes on the lower edges on the Outside - there are no visible screws on the inside.
I covered the holes along the outside bottom edges with a “Base moulding” that I made from a 2x4 with a routed design.
I attached The moulding with Kreg screws that come up from under the chest and out through the front - into the back of the moulding....
Though I guess you could use a pneumatic nail gun and fill the nail holes....
Again, no screws visible unless you turn the chest upside down ;-
Would like to get the plans for this. Would that be possible?
Kylus Booker I'll work on getting some made soon! Another viewer asked for them as well. I'll let you know when they're finished!
Would you be wiling to send me the plans?
+todd cutrer Yes I would. In a few days I'll have some plans drawn up!
I will try to do it with woodglut plans.
Simple lol
My husband uses these plans from woodglut and is very happy with them. However. I love yours!
