Thanks Raymond. I have to agree with you that flame box elder is a very stunning species of wood to work with. Thanks for tuning in this week and for the kind words on the project.
A lot of the creations can be done in multiple ways Linda. Sometimes, all they take is some hand tools and an ability to think outside the box. If you every have any questions, please don't hesitate. I would be more than happy to help if I can. Thank you for tuning in.
@@acutabove_woodworkings I'm a true wood working beginner. But, right now I'm tackling a huge project. I'm in the process of building a catio off my sun room. It is full of imperfections, but I'm enjoying the build. A friend of mine is helping me now to put on the metal roof. It has been a big challenge, but I have learned a bunch of new skills. I want to tackle more intricate things, like you do, so you might be hearing from me.
@@lindachandler5980 Wow. Good for you for taking the plunge and getting right into it. Good luck on your build. Feel free to contact me any time you like to ask any questions you might have. I'd be more than happy to help out if I can.

I. Am. Not. A. Cyborg. I. Am. Fully. Functional. In. Many. Different. Styles. Of. Woodworking. ha a ha ha ha. You just read that in a robot style voice didn't you? LOL. Thanks for the kind words on the show Dale. It's always great to hear your comments on the show. I appreciate your dedication to the program.
Great project! That wood is fantastic. The one thing I might add is one or two finger holes, so you can grasp the cards. But I suppose just turning the box over to get the cards out works well, too. Thanks.
Finger holes is a great idea Barb. Would definitely make getting the cards out a little easier. Might have to thicken the walls of the box to add the finger holes though. Awesome idea. Thanks for tuning in and for chiming in with your suggestion. I appreciate it and it's always great to hear from you.
Very nice Kenny and that wood looks so nice as well, your wood burning skills are amazing at the end there. Well done on this little build and you defo get an Ace from me ha ha ha. Barry (ENG)
ha ha ha ha ha ha. Thanks for the kinds words on the show and for the laugh Barry. This was definitely a fun project. Thanks for tuning in sir. Your dedication to the show is very much appreciated.
I tried something similar years ago but wasn't really a fan of it and would much rather wood burn the images into the stock. That being said, there's nothing wrong with adhering the image via decoupage either. I'd be interested in seeing what you come up with. Thanks for tuning in.
Hi Kenny! I had no idea there was such a thing as flame box elder. Really gorgeous. And, I had been lead to believe that when you cut out the center by rounding going wide when approaching the corner and then back cutting would be cheating. I thought you were always doing the quick 90 degree turn and continuing on. Makes me feel a little better. Love the box top. Have done a little word burning in my past. Regards, Bill
It depends on the results you are after Bill. If you wish for the corner to have a sharp peak, a tight corner with the blade isn't going to do it. Even with the finest of blades, the corner will be ever so slightly rounded. So if you want the sharp corners, cut it wide and come back for the trim after. Thanks for tuning in. I hope this helps.
Kenny, nice project. The piece of wood you used sure was a good looking piece. Your comfort zone is a lot greater than mine. No way would I attempt wood burning the card face on the cover after putting that work into it and chance (and no doubt surely) messing up that nice cover. Nice work my friend.
Believe you me Paul, those thoughts ran through my mind when I was debating burning the King into the cover. I worried about messing it up and then thought "what have I got to lose?". As it turned out, I really like the end result and I'm glad that I didn't let my concerns stop me from pushing the design further. Thanks for tuning in and for taking the time to leave a comment. I appreciate your dedication to the show.
Great video. I love projects like this. What is that clamping system you have? I need to get a better way to hold my work in place besides the peg board I have. Thank You
The clamping system that I use on the bench is a Veritas Quick Release Wonder Dog. They are absolutely incredible and keep your work very secure.

Hello Ken while I am aware that in the end the video was sped up but still your wood burning skills are awesome. The facial features for the King as well as all the other little details on this feature are rivaling a CNC for gosh sakes Harleymike/chicago
Thanks for the kind words Michael. I worried about wood burning on a piece of wood with such a striking grain. I was concerned that I would make a mistake and ruin it but then I thought, what the heck and did it anyway. Turned out for the best as I really like the final results. Thanks for tuning in to the show sir. I appreciate it.
LOL. I wondered when I thought of this idea, if it was outdated but decided to post it anyway. Sounds like it's time for you to introduce your grandson to some old school gaming. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
@@acutabove_woodworkings His reaction to seeing a turntable was priceless. The idea is great. I was thinking of laser engraving the lid as my drawing skills are embarrassing.
@@marcb2120 Never embarrassing. Always be proud of anything you do. The "embarrassing" drawings are stepping stones to your final ability. Although I have to admit that a laser engraving would be pretty freaking awesome. LOL
Really nice work. The wood burning was a great element to add.
Glad that you liked it Thomas. Thanks for tuning in to the show. It's very much appreciated.
What great looking wood Kenny, thank you for sharing with us.

@@acutabove_woodworkingsIt made your project look that much more special.

Nice job and great finish on it.
Keep up the good work.
Glad that you enjoyed it Darrell. Thanks for tuning in.
I love watching your creations take shape. I only wish I had the equipment to make most of the things you make.

That is very cool. That wood is amazingly grained.
And the wood burning???...are you sure not just a little bit cyborg? lol.

Fantastic woodburning there.Have you ever tried decoupage for stuff like that? Im thinking of giving it a go.
