    My daughter-in-law is an artist, and I am making this box for her for her birthday. Thanks for a great suggestion and inspiration!

      Use them all the time for small boxes.

    honestly i am more impressed at the wide tools you have, with that kind of tools to access your work better come out good which it did good job there. Now most people would have harder time on this as generally we all only have hand saw, hammer, chisel and nails these basic to work with.

    Very nicely made. I love the boxes built with thinner material. So many times to see them where the sides and ends appear overly back to me. Very nicely made

    • @AdrianPreda
      @AdrianPreda  7 лет назад

      Thank you Paul! I was concerned at first to work on so thin wood, slightly over 1/4", but the walnut holds well the grooves and rabbets made.

    • @paulrichmond6903

      @AdrianPreda  7 лет назад +1

      Yes, it's a very good book for box making, very instructive and easy to follow. Although it's based on building the boxes with power tools, it can be easily adapt the techniques to hand ones, for most of them of course.

I recently bought a mini bandsaw, 8" wheel, I can say is my first and only machinery tool, if you can call a 70 cm high bandsaw a machinery :) But, is good, helps a lot, speeding up rough cutting in order to do more handtools projects :)

  • @alexhetherington8028
    @alexhetherington8028 4 года назад

    I do love handtools. They create a real affinity between the wood and you working the wood and are much better on the ears. Is it possible to make the mitre key slots with handtools aswel?

  • @tooljunkie555
    @tooljunkie555 7 лет назад +7

    Beautifully crafted! I know this may sound funny but I love the way u applied the glue in the groove when u put the box together..it's a great tip actually, just adding little drops here and there instead if one long line/bead. Bet you get zero squeeze out that way too.im gonna start doing that for groove type glue ups from now on thanks for sharing and the tip. I'm sure you don't look at it as a tip but I do lol look forward to see what you do next I always get in spurts use hand tools after watching your videos Cheers

    • @AdrianPreda
      @AdrianPreda  7 лет назад

      Oh, Joe, I thought you were upset or something from my previous video :)) or you probably didn't saw my reply :) Yes, actually I put just drops because is too hard and useless to spread it all along the groove, also without touching the outsides, and yes was zero squeeze out, or just a few where I knew I've applied a bigger drop of glue. Thanks mate for your comment, I'm glad you like it. Next two weeks if agw I should have a japanese crazy joinery and the mini/micro japanese toolboxes; again japanese stuff :)) Cheers!

      Thanks Christopher! Sorry but I don't have a video for that, it is built not knowing that I will succeed with, so that's why I didn't film it. The design is from Fine Woodworking magazine issue #261, of Todd Crenshaw.

    @cameronmoylan3415 6 лет назад +1

    I am obsessed with this video. I'm trying to make similar boxes and my table saw is pretty cheap so the bevel cuts tend to vary, how do you plane at an angle like that? Sorry I'm sure it's obvious I'm just a beginner

    • @AdrianPreda
      @AdrianPreda  6 лет назад

      I've made a miter shooting board for that. For the type I've used you must have the walls of the plane very squared. Otherwise checkout Mitch Peacock miter shooting board, you can do it on the table saw with a little effort Or there is other type where you use a straight shooting board and raise the workpiece at 45

    • @AdrianPreda
      @AdrianPreda  6 лет назад

      It's like about 0.5-0.8mm on each side I remember. It helps also that the wood is darker and gaps are not noticeable so much
