This just came up on my feed. Really nice video! Very nice box. I like that you took a no nonsense approach and explained what you were doing and not bore us with a bunch of sanding and other mundane tasks. We know how to do that. I like how you did your miters on the cnc. I never really thought of doing mine there. Thanks for a great video!
Yours is a gem of a RUclips channel. Thanks for a video with no nerve-rattling music or other distractions, just a calm, soothing voice-over and a really beautiful box build. Keep up the good work, sir.
Great video! Not a lot of people have the guts to show a project online from start to finish like you have. The box is beautiful. You edited the video well, so it goes at a nice pace. Happy to see somebody else who is relentless about masking the wood and and wiping the glue to avoid having to scrape it off later. Bravo!
I sure would like to know how you created your continuous lines. This is probably the best designed and creative boxes I have seen yet. The lines, the use of aluminum dowels and VCarved miter joints are genius. Please post more videos, we can learn alot with your innovative techniques.
Like it a lot. Good presentation so many people add some hideous music. Idk if it’s instructions video or crappy music video. Please do more. I’m really new to cnc and trying to learn. This helps. Thank you
My wife hadn’t felt good, at all, about my CNC purchase about a month ago. Then I purchased Aspire, which made it worse. I am huge into graphic arts and woodworking. Then, I came across this video. I showed it to her. She is finally warming up to the idea. Thanks. Be blessed.
Nelson Lackings, I’m happy that I was able to assist you. We have a few things in common, outside of your wife having some concerns, i could have written your comment word for word.
WoodDoormann we actually have even more in common than you may imagine, considering the makeup of those who more commonly populate this field sir. Thanks for responding.
Just finished building my CNC machine and found this gem. Very well done video with great explanation with what you are doing. Great video and thanks for taking the time to share your technique.
This is a beautifully designed box. Your careful attention to detail during the building process and finish makes this piece stand out above the rest. Thank you for sharing your work and processes brother.
I have to say your video showing the construction process is great, The box looks terrific. I just found your site and I joined and will be watching more. Thanks
Very nice box and great tips on how to hold a piece under the CNC. I just started with a CNC, actually two of them and things like this video actual TEACH, not brag. I think there was about 4 things that I will try tomorrow when I'm back in my workshop to fix an issue I was having in my learning process. I look forward to see other videos by you. Also you are the first person I subscribed to for CNC videos.
Elegant design, great hold-down technique and ingenious miter cut method. I appreciate the voice-over method you use for your presentation. Nice job on everything, looking forward to learning more.
Thanks for posting. Very attractive box. You may not know that the indigenous people of the north west coasts of Canada and Alaska were making ‘bent boxes’ with this method from cedar for hundreds if not thousands of years. They were also clever enough to retain a thin outside layer of wood at the corners so that three of the 4 corners were seamless on the outside. Modern woodworkers don’t seem to do this.
This is similar to a project I have done with my high school students without the CNC. This video was great in seeing how I can adapt this project for the CNC.
Really liked the line cuts across the surface. Using the 90 degree v-bit to cut the ends is genius! I've been using my chop saw. Your method is much more accurate. Thanks.
I did something similar a couple years ago, except more sides. I tried 6, and 12 sided boxes. I tried to leave a thin skin on the outside of the miter cuts so it could be wrapped up with no visible seams. But to get that to work I should have taken the time to set up a steam chamber or something else to get the wood fibers soft enough to attempt to bend so sharply. I tired hot water that wasn't hot enough and it tore. I believe it can be done with proper setup.
Very nice! Inspiring me to make small boxes on my CNC. Have not done that yet. The largest box I made was for Bee Hives! Your voice over was very well done as well. Subscribed and liked!
Very nice mix of technology and hand work. I like how you have developed processes to let you focus on the aesthetic results rather than wallowing in the routine aspects of making wooden objects. So many spend huge amounts of time on sanding away half of the last steps damage or cobbling up fixtures and work-arounds for things like the splines. Your use of masking to protect the surface while flush cutting is great. As others have said, it's also really nice to just hear you describing what and why, rather than the youtube copyright safe trite "music".
I really like the contact paper idea and how all 4 sides of the box can be folded like that. great job! nice work! I working on assembling my cnc machine and hope to get started soon. thanks again.
I really like how you use cnc as much as you can. Also like your hold down system. I would apply masking tape before cutting slots for splines, just to cut some time.
Just saw your AMAZING video. I really like the make up of you're box. I was wondering if you could do a video on the programming of the box. Not the design you put on there, more so of how you did the 45 degree cut on the CNC. I have become a subscriber of your channel, and also hit the bell so I can stay on top of your latest videos.
Well done. Certainly some good ideas here. You've definitely taken the idea of the bandsaw box to the 'next level'. I may have to try the glue down idea for clamping. It looks like a good way to hold down without having to oversize you work pieces.
Great video, and instruction brother. Like your box design and personification. I've been looking to bring my CNC into more of my box building projects. I hope to see more work from you in the future.
7 years later and still amazing. Beautiful.
This just came up on my feed. Really nice video! Very nice box.

I really like that you showed everything clearly and didn't waste a lot of time showing details that weren't important. I like the box design too!
I love your process here. Well done video and love the no nonsense and lack of background music.
Yours is a gem of a RUclips channel. Thanks for a video with no nerve-rattling music or other distractions, just a calm, soothing voice-over and a really beautiful box build. Keep up the good work, sir.
M Crawford thank you very much
I agree fully.
Subscribed! Very nice work. Well described. Beautiful project. Inspiring.
I also like you didn't have annoying and distracting music.
Very nice work. Like the fact you included Aluminum in the project.
You are blessed with not only design and woodworking skills but a very refreshing manner of explaining your work. I have a sense I know the source.
One of the best instructional video's. There is not one aspect of this video that doesn't pass on knowledge and skills!!! Thanks
I'm late to see this post but I really appreciated your concept, design and commentary. Well done. excellent job.👍👌
Mandell, I am very late to the party but just wanted to say thanks for sharing and excellent job. Very well done sir...
Thank you very much!
Excellent tutorial. No distracting music, just straight forward instruction! Great box.
I like the way you created and finished the box.
Great video! Not a lot of people have the guts to show a project online from start to finish like you have. The box is beautiful. You edited the video well, so it goes at a nice pace. Happy to see somebody else who is relentless about masking the wood and and wiping the glue to avoid having to scrape it off later. Bravo!
Very nice CNC project!
My honest opinion is that this is a gorgeous box! I love the process
@@davidhamrich thank you very much
Very Nice job on your box and your video

jeff dewilde thank you
The difference between art and basic woodworking. I'm envious. Beautiful creation and excellent tutorial!
john cooper thank you very much
Great video! Beautiful box. I hope you make more videos.
Keith Pruitt thank you very much
What is the cutting depth of the 90 degree V-bit you used?
Really slick idea for making a box with the v bit. A single piece of wood guaranteed to have grain flow.
Absolutely beautiful!
Like it a lot. Good presentation so many people add some hideous music. Idk if it’s instructions video or crappy music video. Please do more.
I’m really new to cnc and trying to learn. This helps. Thank you

You inspire Me. I've been wanting to get into box making and You just push started Me . THANK YOU
Great Project Mandell, love the design.
Great work turned out awesome!
Nice project done well!
I loved the video, nice box and excellent presentation. I like the details you showed in gluing it up.
Nice work both CNC and finished product. Agree about the music. I've bailed on videos because of the music. You just gained another subscriber.
Nicely done looks great.
Cool project. Great attention to detail. Love seeing the mix of CNC and traditional craftsmanship.
Dam Nice Sir thanks 4 sharing
That’s brilliant!

Nice history lesson, thank you for the info and for watching.
Nice box with unique details. You gave me a lot of different techniques for things I'm doing differently. Thanks!
Very nice work, gave me some new ideas to try
All I can saw is "WOW", you made it look so easy. New to this, so this was well worth it and very much appreciated.
This is similar to a project I have done with my high school students without the CNC. This video was great in seeing how I can adapt this project for the CNC.
Just found this video. Amazing job. Loved the box. Just ordered a CNC plan on using your idea.
John Stoakes thank you very much.
Very Nice, clearly shows a high level of skill, cheers....Stay well
Great job. Never used anything but coppee so thanks for the idea!
Love the work on the CNC. Way cool method of making 45 deg joints on CNC. This saves hours cutting and fitting joints. Great job.
thanks
Excellent work and beautiful box
Thanks for the nice video, it a real craftsman work, beautiful design, good job.
😊 excellent job, some innovations, excellent commentary
Subscribed and like.
Keep up the good work
Thank you😊
Really elegant design and thanks for taking your time to explain the process.
Great job

You Sir are a true wood worker that box is absolutely beautiful!!!!!
Hanging with Tony Thank you very much.
Very nice piece. I make many of box and that is a keeper. Fine job.
Very nice job and attention to the details! Thanks for sharing. Now all I have to do is make my CNC! Working on it. :)
Beautiful work Mandell. I just got a CNC and this is both very inspiring and educational. Thanks for sharing.
Love the contact paper idea!
Great work, it appears that you are one of the great resources
Mor826 thank you very much
I've only made a big top for a blanket/toy chest on my cnc, you've inspired me to try and make a box like this also
Great video! I’m new to the CNC world and I’m always looking for ideas. You work is inspiring, thank you!
Very good job. I liked the way you went through everything, simple and short.
MrBobbin01 Thank you! I hope it helped you on some capacity.
Love it. I just learned so much just from this video in itself TY!

LOVE the contact paper and glue idea!!!! Well done! #KeepMaking
TBmakes thank you
Nicely done brother.
Nice work! I enjoyed your video.
Such a concise video, with a lot of techniques used for various points in the project. Will definitely give this a try.
Rewined Management
Great! Thank you very much.
great job!
Extremely well done video-will look forward to more
Patrick Dillon thank you
Love your work. You are all-pro!
Phenomenal job on that project! Loved it! Thanks again.
Very nice! Many good tips, sir,
Very nice! Inspiring me to make small boxes on my CNC. Have not done that yet. The largest box I made was for Bee Hives! Your voice over was very well done as well. Subscribed and liked!
Steve Hasebroock thanks for watching. I would like to see your bee hive it sounds cool. I will attempt to make a larger box one day myself😊👍
Well Done you are a Master wood worker

I really like the contact paper idea and how all 4 sides of the box can be folded like that. great job! nice work! I working on assembling my cnc machine and hope to get started soon. thanks again.
That's a beautiful box, and a great idea to use the shelf paper in the hold down. Thanks!
Jim Hester thank you
Beautiful piece.
I really like how you use cnc as much as you can. Also like your hold down system. I would apply masking tape before cutting slots for splines, just to cut some time.
Great video !! Nice work !!
Awesome work!! Greatly inspired by this, going to start working on my design.
That is a great job !!!

Nice video. I'm in the process of finishing my CNC (should have it running this weekend). Looking forward to more CNC videos.
Robert Wallace thank you. I hope to see some of your projects.
Nice work!
Well done. Certainly some good ideas here. You've definitely taken the idea of the bandsaw box to the 'next level'. I may have to try the glue down idea for clamping. It looks like a good way to hold down without having to oversize you work pieces.
Thanks Gordon I'm glad I was able to inspire you.
very nice sir... very impressive work and elegant design!
Thank you
That is a very classy design, and well crafted. I hope to see more projects from your cnc.
Paul Rinehart thank you very much.
Great work. Thanks for sharing
