Adrian Preda for tight joints, hit one of the parts with a rounded hammer, once parts are together and in place, moist the joint and the fibers that you hammered down will expand, filling any gaps making the joint seamless.
you guys a deserve a big respect, as a carpenter waching videos maybe years, and first time in my live writhing a comment... there is a carpenters and there is a masters .I enjoy waching it thanks a lots
Can’t get enough guys. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve seen it. Trying to build a Japanese toolbox myself. Man it’s harder they it looks. Had to redo a lot of wood pieces. Maybe I’ll have it by the end of 2020. 😂 Keep building my friend. Thanks
Your welcome. I just watched your video on the hand held router.... very impressive and inspiring. I may put some of my stuff on here one day if I ever get the cohoonas !
I just want to point you paid so much attention to details, not only in your wood working, but the edition of this video. I mean, min 5:45, the way you synch the chisel taps with the beat of the song, just awesome man. hats off.
must be nice to have thousands of dollars of equipment to do it on. Guess I prefer to see people like me using tools that a normal person can afford or do it by hand, the work of craftsman... Thanks for sharing.
Excellent! Editing makes everything look great! 90% of the creation of this box was two men painstakingly marking and cutting wood fiber to fit to 1/64 of an inch and (probably smaller) of an opening. Tedious work but the end product is well worth it.
your video got an instant thumbs up and subscribe at 5:44 when you matched the beat up with your chiseling. other than that video was still amazing though. keep up the great videos
Haha thanks! There was a pure match coincidence, maybe I have moved a few frames back/fwd for fine adj 😀 In the last clip I have played more with music matching to the action😀
I love your work. As you can see I've commented twice now. In have a question. For someone like me who loves making more with my hands and hands tools as opposed to power tools. Where do you get your chisels and spoke shaves? Do you make some of them? Once again brilliant and beautiful.
Thank you Patrick for your comments! Most of the tools I buy online from fine tools dot com. The shop is in Germany, I think they deliver worldwide, but sure you can find most of them wherever you live, just search locally by the brand and names.
Love you content here. As a beginner I do wonder about the bottom wood movement. Is the problem mitigated by having the frame of the box super sold via dowel / pegs / screws / very precise glue-up ?
I wanted to make something similar to this but bigger. And I wanted to not use a lid but a small workbench as a lid. Do you think that‘s possible? Because I really like that idea
Great stuff! .. with your saw guides, can they only be used on saws with little to no set? as I assume if they do have noticable set, it will wear into the guide? thanks!
Thank you! You can use any saw I believe, it will wear a little but will stop after the set has protrude into the wood. You can see in my dovetail guide video that I added a thin plastic in order to offset the blade set off the wood. Not to the one straight you saw in this video, it was build more as a test guide and did not care too much.
VERY well done. I have a question. Why is it that you used the Tung Oil? Most people use BLO (I personally hate BLO, due to the use of Japanese driers mixed with the oil and the problems with spontaneous combustion). Some people still use their own raw Linseed or flaxseed from the cooking section (no chemical driers). My favorite oil is walnut, the other drying oil. It is what I used on my last project and would use on every project for the rest of my life (including the cabin I'll be building soon) if it weren't so expensive. Also, do you buy unrefined tung oil, or do you buy it processed? And if purchased unprocessed, do you process it in any way? I prefer cold pressed, raw oil from the health food store. Thanks, have a great day.
Thank you Todd for your comment! Actually is the first time I've used tung oil, and I think for sure I will never use BLO :) I've used linseed till now on smaller stuffs, they got very yellowish, but didn't cared to much. Also now, on this toolbox I applied first two coats of BLO, but I was really disappointed, very very yellow-orange-brown, practically destroyed the maple color. So, i've completely sanded again, outside only, and applied tung oil. Kinda ruined a little the straight planed chamfers, but at least the color is acceptable. Other than these two so far I've used danish oil on some boxes, I like it, you still can feel the wood texture and same time have a protective lacquer on the wood. I don't know the state of this tung oil I've used, i will ask my friend collaborator :) about it and revert to you. What I noticed on tung which I really like, is that dries quickly than BLO at the level of wiping the excess, maybe is more viscous, at linseed even after a day I can have liquid spots coming out.
Wow..what a wonderful experience man. Boxes came out awesome. I relly enjoyed working with you on this collaboration project.!
Now back to the drawing board for the next one :D
Gorgeous as always , amazing work you two!
Thanks GG!

How pleasing to watch your clean accurate work with perfectly sharpened hand tools. beautiful simplicity, the essence of Japanese design. Thank you!
Thank you Bruce! Indeed, a little more effort in sharpening, but after that is just a pleasure to work.
That’s the nicest looking Japanese toolbox I’ve seen. Love the through-tenons.
That's just amazing workmanship - superb boxes!
you guys a deserve a big respect, as a carpenter waching videos maybe years, and first time in my live writhing a comment...
there is a carpenters and there is a masters .I enjoy waching it thanks a lots
Thank you for your comment and nice words! Glad you enjoyed our project!
Great project. I bought the plans to build a box like this for my grandson's Christmas present.
Wow, this is pure art! What a craftsmen you are!
+Ewald Burger Thank you!
Outstanding! I'm impressed!!
Greetings from Japan. Very good for both the production of the tool box and the video.
Thank you! I think you are my first comment from Japan who appreciate my japanese woodworking projects :D
You have an amazing touch with chisel and shaves. Absolutely beautiful. Very very impressed
Can’t get enough guys. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve seen it. Trying to build a Japanese toolbox myself. Man it’s harder they it looks. Had to redo a lot of wood pieces. Maybe I’ll have it by the end of 2020. 😂 Keep building my friend. Thanks
Both are very nice boxes! Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
Two of my favourite woodworkers in one video. Thanks
Top notch video and execution building the tool box.
Thank you!
Excellent job, well done. I like that the 2 boxes where not identical, they had a little difference in detail.
Thank you very much! Indeed, the idea was for each to make o box for its own need, they turn out very well and useful in the end. Thanks!
Now, now! You need a separate insert for the Planes!!!!
Excellent work!!!!!
Wow, they look wonderful. When you put in the little caps over the screws, that was the best part! - Clint
Thanks a lot! Ha ha, yes, I was a little concern that I will not be able to press them evenly, but was good in the end.
been to Slovenia, Lake Bled..... awesome place you see craftsmanship like this everywhere..
Thanks Paul! I'm not from Slovenia, but my friend with whom I built these is, his channel here yt.vu/c/UC6NxeqYCz1a9cJvhuunEufw
Your welcome. I just watched your video on the hand held router.... very impressive and inspiring. I may put some of my stuff on here one day if I ever get the cohoonas !
Why not, I started just for fun, even now is just for fun :), and kinda motivates me do my best in the projects.

Beautiful! Is that maple or beech?
Thanks! Maple
Love you content here.
As a beginner I do wonder about the bottom wood movement.
Is the problem mitigated by having the frame of the box super sold via dowel / pegs / screws / very precise glue-up ?
I watched, i subscribed.
I wanted to make something similar to this but bigger. And I wanted to not use a lid but a small workbench as a lid. Do you think that‘s possible? Because I really like that idea
Great stuff! .. with your saw guides, can they only be used on saws with little to no set? as I assume if they do have noticable set, it will wear into the guide? thanks!

awesome! quick question: what is that handheld saw guide that you used? diy? I would reallylikeone.
+J & B English Thanks! It's a diy magnetic guide, I have a video making it if you look in my videos
VERY well done.

Wonrderful work! What kind of wood do you use?
+Bruno John Wilfahrt Hi, thanks! Maple and walnut, both european.
Interesting Video. How did you get those Japanese tools?
+PhonicDragon thanks! From various shops, in europe 😁 but all made in japan
Yay a new video!! Love it as always!
Thanks Seth for your comment!
Adrian Preda I really loved the ruler bending to make the curves! That was genius lol
With tooth sticks holders, that's unique I think :D Thanks!
