I really appreciate you sharing this build with the world. I promised my Mom I'd make her a cremation urn for my step-father. I'm relatively new to woodworking and while I built a sturdy prototype box, I'm not entirely thrilled with the concept enough to use the nice hardwood I purchased for the project. I'm hoping some of the joinery techniques and finish feature methods you used here will help me over the hump. I feel terrible having not finished this project yet, but it's quite a heavy responsibility to create one's final resting place. Thanks again. I'm a new subscriber and am looking forward to seeing more of your work.
They're great Joey. Love watching the smaller builds as much as the larger ones. Merry Christmas to you and the Family. All the best from across the ditch :)
Beautiful result. It was nice to see you do something on a smaller scale. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family Joey, and thank you.
Great build mate, I am sure the lady will be very pleased they are a couple of beautifully made box's, hope you have a great xmas and look forward to seeing your projects for next year all the best 👍👍👍
as always presenting a beautiful work, as we say here in Brazil "stayed show"😂😂, congratulations to the videos, always success, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a great new year !!!
One thing I have learned about urns that your viewers may need to know. Allow one cubic inch for each pound the person weighed when they passed, then add 10% to calculate the volume of the box.
I don't really care that much about grain filling as I'm not really ever after a glass smooth surface. Essentially just add a bunch of some clear filler (shellac,polyurethane,epoxy) and scrape/sand back until you have a dead flat and smooth panel. Then add the desired finish. Curly veneer tends to have a deeper open grain that can feel different from solid timber.
Would love to have this man build one of these for my dad a Vietnam Vet who passed away, this is beautiful and I wish I had the tools to build it myself for him but I don’t and don’t want to buy just any urn, as this custom piece would be amazing as he was a woodworker his entire life. can someone help me get one built like this please?
those are beautiful . urns and cremation will outnumber traditional coffin burials , current cemeterys are running near full capacity . i have not heard of any new boneyards being built recently.
If it’s okay with you I’d like to make something similar for my wife’s ashes. She died in 2010 we’ll do her funeral when we do mine. I really like the legs & I’ll try to copy. I’ll have to do it the hard way, don’t have a CNC machine. We’ll make it work Thank you Sir
Hi, Joey. I have a question: Does the natural expansion of the woods (veneer and wood board where the veneer is glued) cannot cause cracks because they can be of different expansions? Did you do something to avoid this possibility? In addition, it was very beautiful. I follow always and like your work. Congratulations! Merry Christmas and a Great New Year!
Hi, so this is a big question. Firstly when veneering timber you must ad veneer to both sides to stabilize the board. Ideally use quarter sawn timber to minimize expansion . Remember the smaller the board the less it will move
Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "I made a box for a friend"....
Those are beautiful! Nice seeing you make some small pieces ; ) Thanks for sharing!
Hi Joey, congratulations for the work and rich in details and for the harmony of working with current and old technology in a special momen
My goodness you do such beautiful work. I'm in awe of your creativity. As always, thank you for sharing.
Beautiful design . . . looks like it was a joy to build, even for a somber occasion.
Super work, you make it look so easy. I love the way you developed the design as you went along.
A nice detailed build. Would be exactly my taste as well.
A beautiful piece of art.

Nicely done, some nice techniques in there as well. Nice to see cnc being used to assist instead of being the whole project. Have a great Christmas.
Very nice Joey! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Sad occasion for the project but your work is quality as usual. Happy Holidays to you and your family and all the best for the New Year.
Merry Christmas joey to you and your family have a prosperous new year
God bless you all and protect you
They're great Joey. Love watching the smaller builds as much as the larger ones. Merry Christmas to you and the Family. All the best from across the ditch :)

Lovely last gift to a mate
Very nice job.

Gorgeous matching boxed urns, mate👍
They have a very Japanese feel about them👌
Nice work.
Very good ,my friend ,very good ......👌👌👌
Happy Christmas Joey !
And to you
Try using a Fritz & Franz jig for your slider to securely hold small pieces.
Love this! Great use of dominos on a small project.

Good job and so detailed... Mary Xmas
I like the shape of the legs. Maybe try wiping varnish instead of poli. Easier to control. Very nice job!

Happy hols and best wishes for 2019!!!!
They look awesome mate! Could you go into more detail how you grain fill in a future video? Only recently heard about this technique

Nice details job
Nice panel saw! I don't think I could make something like that, too creepy. Cool build though.

Are good tips, Joey. Thanks for the reply!!
great work, once again.
weird question, but i'm curious -- how did you find out how big to make them?
How do you like the toggleclamp for the panelsaw, i believe this model also fits the felder models and i have been wanting a clamp like that...
seems very complicated box
Spray you use - what is it?
Thank you!
