You've become one of my coffee-and-video morning relaxers. I love hearing the little reactions from and interactions with your camera woman. You videos come off very warm and personal.
I missed notification of Cherry Tool Tote Shows #2 and #3, so when notified that Show #4 was up earlier today, my Saturday afternoon was set. Happy with my day's work in the shop, I walked the dog and fed her, which usually puts her to sleep for the day. Cued up Show #2, made sure the thumbnails for #3 and #4 were clickably nearby, then into the kitchen to make a big bowl of popcorn. Because, Ken, you are my Cineplex. Thank you.
Hello George. I’m so glad you enjoyed the videos. Comments like yours make it all worthwhile. The description of your day was very entertaining. Joaneen and I are making a big bowl of popcorn tonight! Lol. Thanks so much for this note, it was good hearing from you again. Best regards. Ken
Very nice design. Best I have seen. The time honored - Keep it Simple - is almost always the best solution! Cherry has always been my favorite. Great Job!
Burnishing with antler- next level tip! I played in the Mens Senior Baseball League pre-pandemic. Wood bats only. Many players broke bats on a regular basis. My bats were "boned" (burnished w/ force) and lasted multiple seasons. I boned them after every season to get a compressed, hardened grain. Swear by it!
Un saludo otra vez. Bueno, no se si fue usted, RUclips o yo mismo pero ayer no conseguía traducirle... ahora si. Me encanta el trabajo, la unión en cola de milano y el mango con caja y espiga acuñado, los laterales con clavos antiguos rematan un trabajo genial. Por cierto, es la primera vez que veo un taladro eléctrico en su canal jejeje. Gracias por su canal y su trabajo.
Gracias Juan José por esta linda nota. Me alegra que te haya gustado el video, fue un proyecto divertido. ¡Sí, el secreto está fuera! ¡A veces uso una herramienta eléctrica!
Hello from the uk again,hope your both well. Great job as always, really enjoy your work and channel. Can’t wait to see what you choose to make next. Thanks for sharing 👍
Yes, I bought those clamps from Harbor Freight about twelve years ago. The pads were of better quality back then. Those same clamps are still sold at Harbor Freight but the pads are now flimsy and fall off constantly. The Jorgensen replacement pads are much better.
Thanks David. The antler tip isn’t very sharp, it’s quite rounded, useful for getting into tight areas. I didn’t have any problems on end grain. Thanks for the question.

Which tool tote do you prefer to use, beveled or straight sides? I was drawing up the beveled tote and it occurred to me that you perhaps found it didn't function well and that is why you made this tote with straight sides
Hi Tony. I really don’t have a preference. I enjoy exploring the different design features and joinery methods for these totes. I don’t have much of a need to transport my tools because most of my woodworking is done in my shop. I use the totes mainly for sorting tools and materials at my workbench. Thanks for the question.
Very good question. I did a test first. The nails can damage the straws if they protrude even a little bit above the wood surface. I used a crowned hammer, then a sanding block to make sure each nail was flush. Any slight compression during burnishing wasn't a problem. Thanks.
I have two real complaints with this video. 1. You are using an electric drill ( you should be using a hand operated drill) and .2. The hammer is far too modern. You should be using rock for the hammer and I could go on about the modern style clamps as well :)
My video needs a subtitle. “Viewer discretion is advised, what you are about to see contains graphic use of modern woodworking methods. Some electrons were harmed during the making of this video.”
You are such a calm person, explaining in detail what and why you are doing it. Thanks also for the camera woman’s excellent filming.
Thank you. Joaneen does a very good job with the camera. Glad you enjoy the videos.
I love how in depth this series is. I learned a lot and will be making something similar.
Thanks for visiting us. Let me know how your project goes, send me questions if you have any, and have fun!

We enjoy our time together in the workshop and enjoy sharing these videos with our friends on youtube. We’re glad it shows. Best regards.

Thanks Wayne, simple is best. I like working with cherry and it grows here in Pennsylvania. Best regards.
It's good to have you back ☺️ .
Thanks for everything 😊.
Yes, always good to get another project finished. Thanks for the visit.
This project was great. The videos are great. I've watched a bunch today. You're good on the camera. Easy to understand and follow.
Thank you, I appreciate the comments!
Always a pleasure to watch your projects
Thanks, we enjoy sharing them on RUclips.
Outstanding as usual
Thanks Bob, and thanks too for visiting us again.
Hi Ken and Joaneen, another commendable project, very nicely done. What is the next one I wonder🤔.
Cheers, Mike. Cornwall, UK
Hi Mike, good hearing from you. Yes, I'm wondering too what to make next. Cheers.
You can never have too many tool boxes and totes 😊 As always a great looking project.
Agreed. If you make them you will always find uses for them. Thanks Jeff.
those boxes look great 👍👍
Fun to make and useful around the shop.

Yep, played little league baseball as a kid. Wooden bats were all we knew. Never heard of burnishing a bat. Very interesting.
Beautiful, well done, thanks for sharing!
Fun project. Thanks for the visit!
Hello Ken
Nice work. You are one of the RUclips woodworkers I watch that always makes me feel that I can do better work. Thank you and keep it up.
Thanks! I enjoy sharing my projects with other woodworkers. Yes, we can always do better. Learning is so much fun.
Suitable as a piece of furniture art, as well as a tool tote. Super nice design and build.
Thanks. I just have to find a place for it in my house....my workshop is full!

Hello from the uk again,hope your both well. Great job as always, really enjoy your work and channel. Can’t wait to see what you choose to make next. Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks Steve. Fun project. Lots of choices for my next project. We'll see.
I built 2 Japanese tool boxes a little one that I shouldn’t have showed to my mother and a full size one thank you for sharing
Ha! Yep....if Mom likes it, it's her's!
Gorgeous results! Thanks for showing all the other totes, and especially the Japanese tool box! I love your channel! 😀
Thanks William. I had to laugh when I piled my collection on top of my workbench. Yikes!
@@treebangham But, I mean... as collections go, that isn't THAT many!
Yes, but I suspect that I will be making more!
If you start getting annoyed by the pads on the Harbor Freight clamps, Lowe's has Jorgenson replacement pads that will fit.
Yes, I bought those clamps from Harbor Freight about twelve years ago. The pads were of better quality back then. Those same clamps are still sold at Harbor Freight but the pads are now flimsy and fall off constantly. The Jorgensen replacement pads are much better.
Dropping in is like visiting friends. always a plesure. Sorry for my poor english, i'm not dum, i'm french 🙂
Hello friend. Thank you for visiting. Your English is much better than my French! Lol.
Bravo!! What a classic and useful piece. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Craig, this was a fun project and I will be putting it to use. Regards.
❤
I love the combination of olde timey woodworking and modern. Interesting build. Great work. Do you think Agate would work to burnish the finish?
Yes, agate would work very well. Carvers often use small polished pebbles for this purpose. Thanks for commenting.
#4! Finally! I’ve been missing this. I’m about to start on something quite similar; I’m curious about the dimensions. LxWxH please? Thanks!
Always fun to complete a project. Length 20". Width 9-1/4". Height overall 11". Max height of sloped sides 5-1/2".
Great looking tote! Does the antler tip leave any marks in the end grain?
Thanks David. The antler tip isn’t very sharp, it’s quite rounded, useful for getting into tight areas. I didn’t have any problems on end grain. Thanks for the question.
Cheers Dude, TFS, GB :)

Thank you! I wonder, does rubbing pollisoire over the nails do any damage to the straws in the polisher?
Very good question. I did a test first. The nails can damage the straws if they protrude even a little bit above the wood surface. I used a crowned hammer, then a sanding block to make sure each nail was flush. Any slight compression during burnishing wasn't a problem. Thanks.
very nice! I want to buy one of the bundles to burnish the wax finish. is there a link?
Thank you David. The link is in the description.

Thank you again! I have one coming my way.
Great!
What are the dimensions of your box?
The tote is 20” long, 9” wide, sides are 5 ½” high at the corners, overall height is 11”.
I have two real complaints with this video. 1. You are using an electric drill ( you should be using a hand operated drill) and .2. The hammer is far too modern. You should be using rock for the hammer and I could go on about the modern style clamps as well :)
