So not only is this vid helpful to a backyard wood maker but your times of being a regular guy forgetting something makes me smile and feel good that I'm not the only one out there.
Haha I didn't even include them all. I appreciate you watching!
Even the guys on YT with 10’s of thousands of subscribers watching them, aren’t “perfect”
I think there’s a level of normality to all of us… though some better than others, we’re all human and won’t achieve (what we deem) perfection, every time. That’s the beauty of wood working. . . Figuring out ways that work for (you) to be as efficient and effective as possible. 👌🏼👌🏼
thought was just me im terrible for it !
🤔 I guess misery loves company 😅😂🤠🇫🇮
I have made sliding top boxes like these before, using various joinery methods, including but joints like you did, as well as mitred corners with splines, and finger (box) joints. On every one, instead of using scrap pieces for the little handle on the lid, I saved the piece that I cut off the end piece and used that. It also has the "advantage" of camouflaging which end is the opening end,and looks quite good. I do also like your way of using a contrasting colour as well.
I am sure someone already said this....but get rid of that plastic push stick (or use it as template for a wooden one). Plastic hits that blade and you have a projectile. Make a wooden copy.
I know this is two years old, but just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed the video. Regarding the multi-tool, I use mine all the time, however, more for custom renovation projects. They are extremely loud, so in the shop I prefer the pull saw.
Awesome ideas! And loved seeing you actually make each one as well to show how simple yet elegant the final product was.
As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement ruclips.net/user/postUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!
The hard oil and wax finish on the little pallet coasters looks best to me. You are so right about forgetting the screws, it does definitely happen! The contrasting little handle on the wine box was a nice touch.
I’m glad you add in all the compilations that come with trade work. Not everything goes smooth all of the time
Haha I try to keep it real.
I sound like you when I'm doing stuff in my shop. I'm constantly talking and explaining how I'm screwing up, but to the cat. He doesn't even subscribe, jerk.
Haha well I talk to my shop dog when the camera isn't on so we have that in common.
😂😂😂😂
LOL I'M GLAD I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE
I got a cat and dog like that!
That so made me laugh
Thanks for an informative and real woodworking video. Sometimes the others show their mistakes but not always. Makes it feel more relatable.
Love the wine box and the coasters, I prefer the spray on finish on the coasters andI liked the quarter inch chamfer better than the larger chamfer on the pen/pencil holder all three projects turned out nice.
LOL! Thank you for leaving in the little bloopers! Nice to see we all slip up here and there
Haha there are plenty of those!
I just found you and I have to say I'm so impressed and love your instructions. Easy to follow and even as a newbie I feel confident I'll be able to do this! Thanks so much and I look forward to following you!
I appreciate your honesty and clarity.
I appreciate you watching and the support!
Those small holes could be covered with the same plugs you used for the screws.
Very fine job on all projects. Thanks for sharing.
I have made a few of the wine boxes myself. You could have mitered your corners to allow the wood grain to match on 3 of the 4 corners and “waterfall” the piece. A small difference to make the project a lot better. Then if you wanted to keep the dowel accents, rockler makes a corner jig which looks cool.
Agreed, Spray lacquer looks the best. Nice builds.
Thanks! Appreciate it. Yea I like spray quite a bit.
Thanks for your video. I really liked contrast of the wood colors. I’ve thought about making some coasters but the ones I’ve seen don’t absorb moisture from a glass. Probably would have to use a cork product. And the pencil holder. I thought the same thing as you, a candle holder. I think it would look good with the light coming thru it. Good tips and thanks.
I like the narrow chamfer. It gives the finished product an added dimension.
😊😊👍
Neat, quick projects! Great gifts for not too close relatives!!
Wow! Great video...thanks for sharing!
1st time watching you, I really enjoyed these as they're on the beginner side, you gave great instructions and showed us how to do everything that you did along the way.
I just bought a table saw, Delta half price at Lowe's last week, my space is limited so I really need to think about where it's going to go before we assemble it, looking forward to being able to make more projects, a planer is next.
That is awesome! My first table saw was that same one actually. Have fun in the shop!
This was sweet, definitely inspired me to get back out in the shop. Thank you!
That's awesome! Thanks for watching!
I like to see a woodworker using more of the job site tools I’m used to like a chop saw, Brad gun, and even a multi tool. And even sharing a sore back carrying that same planer around when needed
While watching the part making the pencil holder, I couldn't help but thinking about when I was little and building things with Lincoln Logs!
Hello 👋
I like the box you did - I would
fit good Malt 25yo Scotch 🥃 whiskey
in there, and - leave enough room
for a decent Edinburgh Chrystal
whiskey glass, plus the PW coaster
for a tad of “authenticity” to sit
the whiskey glass on, a tiny piece
of coal, plus a little tartan ribbon
on the box and - give it to someone who
knows all about Scotland and Whiskey
and appreciated the gift !!
Thanks 🙏
Take care and stay safe

It happens! Love the honesty, it’s nice for a change
always enjoy your presentation, craftsmanship and results...when you post a vid, I'm watching! thanks for sharing
Great ideas! Thanks for putting this out.
Thanks for watching!
Absolutely love the fact you didn't edit the issues, makes it more personable. Great Job.
I like to be as transparent as possible lol.
Three great little projects. With the popularity of making things from pallets, making pallets out of a fine wood is beautiful irony.
Adding rabbets to the wine box pieces is the simplest solution for hiding the slots. Miters are cool but they can be a little persnickety. It's easy to sneak up on the perfect rabbet.
For the pencil cup, I think the oversized and chamfered based looks bulky no matter how much of a chamfer you use. Using the contrasting white oak, cut a piece the size of the box and then cut rabbets on two sides of the base to accept the bottom pieces of walnut. You get straight sides, top to bottom, and a little structural detail from the alternating thinner and thicker edges of the white oak base.
Well made video showing how to make all three projects. It was long but each segment was concise. Well done.
Love the errors - the real world! Audio wasn’t bad. Thank you!
All three came out well and I enjoyed watching the video. I'm new to your channel and will be subbing from now on ... your style is laid back and easy to watch making the learning process that much more pleasant. Thanks for the ideas and have a wonderful holiday season. Cheers, Dave
Thanks so much Dave! That really means alot. I figured i will just be myself as I am with my friends and hopefully people will relate haha. Maybe teach some stuff along the way.
My boy did this video for us before finishing the inside of his garage walls. I might shed a tear. Thanks
Awesome. I think I'll try some of the coasters. Thank You!
Thank you for watching! Good luck in the shop.
Good to finally see someone on here using the gripper!!
Nice builds. My wife put together some cork board coasters so she asked me to make a holder for them. This was one of our Christmas gifts for family and friends.
That's a cool collaboration!
I like the idea you mentioned about making the pencil holder into a candle using the other base on top.
Really nice ideas. Many thanks for showing this to us👍
Enjoyed you video! Thanks for sharing the realities of woodworking and showing your mistakes. It’s reassuring to know that I’m not alone. We often gift wine during the holidays and your wine box looks like a great way to dress up a moderately priced offering. I subscribed so looking forward to more ideas and opportunities to improve.

Thanks for the support!
Nice little and quick projects. A few suggestions for the wine box. Use shallow rabbits ( as deep as the grooves) to attach the ends will hide the grooves on the ends. I would cut plugs for the screw holes. The plugs are easily trimmed with a chisel as you are cutting with them grain not across the grain. You could use either the same wood to make nearly invisible plugs or a contrasting wood for highlighted plugs and I think the face grain looks better than the end grain of the dowels.
Awesome work great ideas thanks for sharing these.
Thanks for watching!
Tape under the multitool... great idea! 👍
I love the screw-up with the screws! It makes you SO HUMAN--like all of us!
Loved yr video. I bet most people do stuff like that all the time but would never show it. Honest and down to earth. Nice box
Thank you!
Great ideas since summer is almost over and Christmas is just around the corner. ❤❤❤
For the wine bottle box. Those little square holes made by the blade run thru can be plugged with sawdust and glue. Let harden & sand. A nice look is a darker wood sawdust to make the little squares pop.
I really enjoyed some simple easy projects to fund bigger projects and toys. Also, your humor on this was hysterical! 🤣 Keep yo the great work.
Haha I'm glad someone noticed. I talk to myself like that all the time so I decided to start inckuding it. Thank you for the feedback and support!
As a first time viewer... mistakes, humour, great projects and easy to follow instructions... what's not to love about this channel! Subscribed 👍
Really appreciate that! Thanks for the support!
I like that you leave your mistakes in the video.
Made several sets of pallet coasters from cedar. Not a wine person but I will try that pencil box.
Great video. I’m also starting with pallet wood I got a big pile of broken down pallets in my garage just got to get out there and build something lol. Can’t wait to see you build your shop furniture.
It's a great material to work with. I still use it from time to time when I'm looking for rustic style.
i'm just starting out in wood working with pallet wood and like these easy projects thanks again
Thanks for watching!
wonderfull! Arapongas, Paraná, Brasil.
nice work!! would love to have your shop set up! no fluff, all the basics! 👍
Thanks!!
Great projects, all look good
Love the multi-tool. Great gift ideas 💡👍🏻🇺🇲
😊😊👍
Thanks! Appreciate you watching!
Hey man, nice three project video! I’m just getting started with woodworking so it’s good to see easier projects sometimes lol.
Haha right on! Glad you enjoyed it. They are fun to make for sure. Appreciate the support.
Excellent work
I by far prefer the base with the wider champers, cheers. While you were completing the wine box, I noticed the cardboard box with shavings and thought it would be nice to make wooden boxes with covers for gift giving. Might be also sell easily.
I love the pallet coasters, I'm going to try making a strip of 20 of them and just cut them out instead of glueing one by one.
I love the wine bottle gift box, and already thought of a few improvements.
Nicely done! I had the same thought about putting a candle or light inside :)
Thank you! I thought it might be cool lol.
Really enjoyed these
Thanks for this video. You're a great DIY'er
Thanks!
Love contrast!
Very cool
*REAL PROJECT* 😍😍
Great gifts!
😊😊👍
Nicely done ✅ thanks
Thank you for watching!
I like these projects
Great idea 🤠💡👍
Great builds. You need to put caster wheels on your big work bench so you can move it around the shop so you don’t have to use extension cords. Or better yet you can Mount a power cord under the top like I did and you can just run a cord to that and plug in several things at once
great video thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
All three projects turned out real nice.
On the wine box, cut some walnut square to fill the voids left in the datos, plus the walnut plugs to cover the screws. To make it, Extra fancy,...
I liked both the idea of a pencil holder, and / or a light box. Looks good with both chanfers
Hello there 🙏🤝
Thank you for watching and the feedback. Good idea.
Box looked really good. I also dig the pallet coasters. Gonna make some haha
Thanks! That's awesome. They are fun little projects.
Hello sir
Good video good job thx for sharing
Thank you for watching!
i love the wine box idea!
Good ideas and easy to do. I’d add some felt too the bottom of the coasters and pencil holder. Just my opinion. Thanks for the video.
"It'll work better if I put the screws in first."
That statement defines the chaos that is my entire life. HAHAHAHA
Haha same...
those are beautiful 😊😊
Thank you!
Great vid. When cutting many small pieces out of longer strips like you did for the pencil holder and coaster you could use painters tape to secure the longer strips together then cut multiple 4" or 5" pieces at once instead of cutting singles. A bit more efficient, safer and accurate.
Great video with simple but detailed instructions. I think the pencil holder is my favorite mostly because it looks the simplest and something a lot of people might use. Curious on why you don't cut your own plugs.
Awesome ideas, much appreciated. I'm thinking you could have cut a slot in the end of the dowels and added 'wedges' of a darker material for that contrast you were looking for - without having to leave your shop. Nice!
Haha I actually remembered I have plug cutters too. 🤦♂️
Nice video, good projects
Thank you!
Spray laqcuer by far the best for this project! Nice video! Keep it up
I agree! Thank you!
I love your videos. They are very informative & you make it look easy when you are having fun.
I believe putting the oil on the wood before assembly may be less messy?
Pretty inspiring, 2 things I will do different. 1st I will put my finish on before I assemble, will only need to do touch ups and will save time. 2nd, instead of dowels if you mix sawdust in glue to make a paste, then feel holes saves time and is cheaper, God Bless!
Good suggestions! Also cut the dowels shorter than needed. Stain them any color you want or burn the ends then drive them in flush. I have also made a jig to create my own dowels using a hand planer blade and a drill.
@@airplayamusements5717 excellent. God Bless!
thanks for a great video
Thanks for watching!
There's some great ideas here! An easier method to hide the rabbets on the wine box could also be to use mitre joints.
Or cut some small plugs from the scrap cut off for where the lid slides in and glue 'em in.
Or, using either a router with a rabbet bit or the table saw, make a rabbet in the bottom of the boards for the plywood to sit inside attached with brad nails and glue. In fact this is an easier method than cutting a slot for the plywood board.
8:53 you could patch the groove holes with little square pegs from the first part you cut off due to the knot.
I was thinking the same thing he did cut off that little piece this is John saying good night
I use Mod Podge for the finish on a lot of my projects. It comes in Matte, Satin and Gloss. The more coats, the more protection. Just use small brushes to reach in those little places.
I don’t have the patience for that kind of tedium anymore. Gettin’ old maybe?
A sprayer pays for itself in material costs in 1-3 average jobs.
It's because I'm getting old and am retired that I have time to fuss with detail. 😉@@fishhuntadventure
thank you for showing your mistakes. it happens to all of us :) thanks for the video. i love the fact that you did 3 projects. the pencil holder could inspire to make a bit of a larger one for kitchen utensils :)
Loved those ideas. I wouldn’t change a thing. However, I would have just added little color contrasting plugs in the exposed grooves of the corners. But that’s just aesthetics and something that came to mind.
Bora has a folding planer/cut-off table with modular cross bars than can be adjusted for differ sized units. It also has adjustable extension arms to support longer wood stock.
👍👍
Rabbets would be a great way to hide those slots as well. would give the front and back a nice look too.
Agreed
Great video and I just gave you a subscription! On the ends of the box at the bottom, I would drill a small hole to round out the groove and glue in a short piece of dowell to close up the hole. Might give it a little bit of character?
REALLY like your pragmatic, practical approach in this video; I've subscribed! Love the wine box idea, so simple and elegant. :). thanks for taking the time to do these videos- I've been on the fence about getting the AirStrike, AND the multi tool- this video has pushed me over the fence. Husband got me a big ol' HomeDepot gift card for Christmas...looks like I know what I'm getting with it! Thank you, sir!!
Thank you for watching! I really appreciate it! That air strike is a great tool!
i like the dark one it reminds me of that specialty wood type or design style but i forgot what its called i bet those colors would sell even better .
Nice work - I also agree that sirens are a nightmare haha
Lol they are so annoying
great ideas. Thanks for the helpful video! subscribed. I’m a carpenter and I am thinking about possibly focusing more attention on making a lot of items similar to these to sell. I’ll be checking out your channel to see other similar videos and all the content as well. Thank you again. As to the oil finishes, I feel it’s between the mineral oil for cutting boards and the lacquer. Advantage of mineral oil could be that it’s food grade and may appeal to people in terms of it being a coaster. But either one I think is fine. I do like the spray method better lol.
Haha ya the spray is definitely much easier! Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it.
