Nice crates, good work! I like them. Yes, much better than plastic boxes. Everybody seems hung up on using screws on all woodworking projects. Guess it's derived consumption from buying all the cordless gear. You can buy one heck of a lot of wood from the money you'd save by purchasing a good hammer, or even an inexpensive corded drill from Harbor Freight and a decent extension cord. Finish or box nails (you are building a box after all) are cheaper, and hold just as well. Your instincts are good in that you pre-drilled. Even nails should be pre-drilled in locations where the wood may split. Just so people know. The proper way to fasten ANY screw? 1) the piece you are fastening should have a hole sized so the screw shank can just pass through, 2) the piece you are fastening to should have a pilot hole sized slightly under so the threads of the screw will cut into the sides of the pilot hole. That way, the piece you are fastening will securely grab onto the piece you are fastening to. I guess all the bad or at least misguided woodworking I see on youtube is the result of people having fathers who were computer programmers or accountants and were not very handy. And consequently, could never offer their children any guidance in woodworking or how to maintain a house. Sign of the times. Nevertheless, nice work! Good going!
Lol just look at that place hes working in, his brand new tools, his clothes. I mean cmon the dudes wearing designer jeans while woodworking. And hes making simple wood crates out of TWO BY TENS! ...You think this guy gives a shit about money lol?
Great video. I enjoy your channel, you have many interesting projects. Looking forward to making these crates with the plans you will be posting to your website.
I know this question really isn't build related, but are you part Japanese? I saw your Instagram and Uyeda is a Japanese name and being half myself, I can usually tell if another person is a mix. Anyway, thanks for all of your uploads. I probably have watch almost all of your videos at least twice. We share a lot of the same type of style and I just LOVE your work.
Hello out there, Do you have a list of your most popular power tools you use? It would be most helpful if you redirect me to the posting, or to create a quick video/blog of it.
Has a lot of information in this woodwork book “pepe amazing plan” (Google it). The book also displays several designs and also explanations on the materials used for various wood working processes and also the guidelines on completing different processes properly. Overall, this book satisfied my basic desire to find out about woodworking.
i went to your website and i cant find the plans for the crates
could anyone tell me how to find them
That looks awesome. I'll definitely have to remember this for when I have kids so I can make them a toy box. Thank you for sharing this amazing idea!
Looking good, Ben! As someone else mentioned, it looks like you're due for a workbench!
These look great. Looking forward to the next video.
+Nicholas Castille thanks for the support! :)
Great video. I could not find the drawings/full instructions, could you point me in the right direction?

+SouthernGinger thanks for watching!
Hey I was wondering where can i find the plans, could you send me a link please :D
Thanks
Very nice, Benjamin!
The image you showed at the beginning made me think they where like 20 cm X 10 cm, what a surprise I got! C:
Great video. I enjoy your channel, you have many interesting projects.
Looking forward to making these crates with the plans you will be posting to your website.
thanks so much for watching us :)
the spacers on the top and bottom should be spaced to lock together
They look excellent!!
+Cactus! workshop thanks!
+Cactus! workshop I want to make a trunk !
Are you doing the build on the floor of your house? You're far more brave than me, haha!
Great project! Thanks.
Sooooooo nice!
Can I pre drill holes and then nail them because I heard that’s a good method
How shall I proceed with the second box , cause I want to make it taller and put a second piece of wood in highness
perfect kinda crates for housing a firearm
Really perfect job, wonderful..
+DIY-THAT'S SIMPLE thank you, and thank you for watching!
How long do you get from a fully charged battery with your Ryobi orbital sander? I get 3 minutes.
i dont understand the dimensions for the secound box i really want to build it
I must be blind. I found your stacking planters, but not these on your site.
Mario Monti I ran into the same issue.
I wonder if he likes Ryobi products...
+Juan Salvo not at all.... ;)
Nice Ben.
+DIY Modern thanks!
Ryobi wouldn't give you a jigsaw?
Awesome! I was not able to find the plans to these on your website, I'm assuming they're not up yet?
thanks for watching! no, they're not up yet but they will be soon :)
HomeMadeModern Are these available yet? I just looked on your site and couldn't find them.
Can you do a modern bike rack?
it would be more awesome if you make one with no screws and only timber joints
nice

+Mariko Yes! i am Japanese, Danish and English. thank you!!
*WHO STOLE YOUR WORKBENCH?*
Muy Bueno!!!
How much did these projects cost?
I would say the crates are about twice as heavy as necessary.
While he's working he listens to the same music in this video
Can you put the dimensions in cm too :(
Nice Video ! :-)
+MrHandwerk thank you!

Can i Know what kind of wood you used?
Should have added hinges
😍😍😍👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Would it be possible to use the bigger one as "window bench?
+Gülperi Cacan i don't see why not!
What's the music?
I bought a crate of wine. Gave the wine away as presents and got a killer crate for free. Looks even better than this one. But good job on this one.
