i appreciate that you are wearing a Finnegan shirt at some point. Also, thank you for doing a variety of projects like this that can be accomplished with limited tools, and describing how you can use tools without certain features (like a router with an edge guide versus a router table). I'm sure your son will have that toy chest filled up in no time!
You made red oak look so modern. A great example of how doing the simple things correctly can turn out looking so fresh and finished. Great vid Johnny.
Great video, and SMART ADVERTISING!!! Perfect little box in the corner , while Not interuppting the video and gaurenteeing it doesn't get fast forwarded. Very smart
For those without all these tools, taking a cut list to Lowe's and having them cut some 3/4" birch plywood is a viable alternative. The rest can be cut with a hand saw at home.
That stain looks great!! I love the look of just staining the outside and leaving the inside it's natural color. It adds a subtle contrast to the piece
I love the way that stain looks, very nice project. Everyone makes things out of plywood (myself included) so much that sometimes I forget you can make things out of solid wood.
Great project. Your video, as always, was very well done. You do a good job explaining all the steps and showing them as well. I also appreciate your honesty in making it clear that this video was sponsored. Too many RUclipsrs aren’t doing that.
Great project and top notch video (of course!). I wanted to watch it during the premiere but was making breakfast for the family. Oh well! I agree that rabbit joinery works really well - it moves the alignment work earlier in the project and makes the glue up very easy. I could also see ebonizing the base as an alternative to painting. Thanks for the build!
You guys make it look sooo easy! I can never seem to get things perfectly square which throws off everything. Great storage chest! Thanks for the video! BE SAFE,GOD BLESS!🇺🇸🙏❤
I love this piece. Nicely done. Red oak is dense enough and very stable; I like using it, but agree, the look is... "meh". Also, I can't wait for the day the whole "pre-" trend ends. We're not pre-drilling. We're drilling pilot holes. We should all stop pre-doing-all-the-stuff-we're-not-really-pre-doing.
Johnny, that looks awesome. I definitely need to build one since my boys have managed to break store bought plastic totes where they put their toys away. But I guess that's how boys are: destructive. Here's to hoping when they're old enough to fix it or build it
Go to lowes.. look at the aluminum straight edges (Swanson CG100) is one I've been using for quite some time... measure/clamp ..much better,(imo, easier at least, every tool has its pros/cons in certain situations) + you can do angles with this method
Great cabinet. Great build. It's not a big deal in the slightest, but you can hide half the base- rail pocket holes by orienting them upward. The cabinet itself will hide them.
Thankyou for making these videos with the perfect amount of education and entertainment. I have learned a ton from your channel. And how does your camera slowly move and change angles in your time lapses?
And I will say, this will probably be my Christmas gift to my 6 year old nephew. So I really appreciate the FREE information and instruction. thank you very much man.
People giving the video a thumbs down before the video even shows up.... Its laughable how people get upset over free videos that no one is making them them watch.....
It's not a free video. It's a pointless notification and that's where the animosity comes from. We are told throughout youtube to click the bell so we get notified of new uploads. Then we get notified of a video that may happen anywhere between 15 mins and 3 days.
@@danielkirkhart It's not the video they are upset about, it's the stupid Premiere feature- we don't need a subs box filled with notifications for videos we can't watch for hours or days, that's what subscriptions are for- they notify us when the video is uploaded and ready to watch. I think the point people make about the premiere feature has gone way over your head.
@@SuicideNeil I appreciate the explanation - but it hasn't gone over my head. I too get too many notifications... but understand its all part of the RUclips game the creators have to play. This is a content site that only costs you your time which is ultimately yours to spend how you want.... to complain because someone notified you have an opportunity to watch a video at a future time, while that creator will watch along with you, answer questions and have a good time becomes something to complain about is the ultimate example of #firstworldproblems
@@danielkirkhart Okay, let's put it another way- youtube is an 'on-demand' service; if we have to wait days or hours to watch a video that we'll forget about until after it's uploaded anyway, it kinda defeats the object, doesn't it. I dunno about you, but I'm not going to sit here waiting for 3 hours to watch a video, I'll watch it when it hits my subs box, or when I get the chance to sit down and go through my subs later ( typically the latter ). The fact there has been a rather large backlash against the premiere feature speaks volumes- it may well be a first world problem, but doesn't mean we have to like it; hence all the dislikes.
In 10th grade woodshop class (1991) I made a 72" wide x 18" tall x 15" deep out of oak (the sides are 14" wide solid oak plank).. parents werent thrilled when they got the wood bill for that one lol ..
Great project! Quick question. You like the poplar 2x2s because they are square rather rounded at the corners. Then you chamfer and sand the corners. Doesn’t that end up the same? Thanks!
@ 3:54 sup with all that blue plastic? Looks like you had two guides put together, but the edge guide on one was further out than the other one. That normal? Like do you cut them to precision on first use or something?
i don't like oak period. would love to see a piece made out of poplar with a lacquer finish, no stain or paint. we did a test piece at a cabinet shop i worked at years ago. sanded and lacquered a piece of poplar it it looked awesome, was green, yellow, white and gray.
Hey! Coud you please comment on your experience with Festool products? I noticed that you have table saw from them. I consider buying some as well, but I'm wondering if they are worth the premium price they cost.
Is it possible to make the chest with out the legs? Because I don't think I have enough wood to make the legs I might substitute red oak for popler wood because mine is a beginner project I also wanted to make it because I was looking on Amazon for blanket boxes and blanket baskets and I couldn't find anything that I liked so imma make one my self not only do I want to do set design but I also love woodworking And making something of my own because it's great to have something you made it's Awesome but but also when you are a woodworking inthusiast keep in mind that your work table won't always be clean because you are creative and you don't sit around and watch tv all day that's boring unless you are a tim burton nightmare before Christmas geek that's me I am a goth person but I definitely love woodworking Shakespeare theater 🎭 and just Theatre goth in general Especially Hamlet that's hardcore theatre goth but I also love unicorns🦄 mermaids ☠️pirates and ships in general I live in San Diego so ships are a big thing because we have the maritime museum they also have ships that are so historical they are chalk full of ghosts 💀
at 3:55 did you cut in the the guild a little bit ? I see some blue saw dust ? how is it holding up ? do after building this with it how long do you think it will stay strait? Also thanks for the vid they are getting really good. I am going to make this same thing, just out of all ply because I am cheap.
I have one and you are supposed to cut into the guide strip with your saw to indicate exactly where the cut line is going to be. You can buy replacement strips for when they wear out or if you change the saw.
I love woodworking because I love the smell of wood and I love the contact and it's more relaxing then sewing I tried sewing, it just didn't work for me because making something according to a pattern was really hard for me and stressful I love the Smell of Wood so much I wear a purfume that smells identical to ceder or pine even though it's a floral fragrence it smells completely the opposite but I only wear that certain purfume because floral Scents give me head aches but I have never liked them anyway they are just not my jam I like Coco EDP because it makes me feel like a lady also drinking tea makes me feel like a classy woman even though I am 13 years old LOL 😂 but I also like it because it adds a touch of elegance but masculine also because woody fragrances are very masculine and I like to also feel masculine because when you do woodworking you use power tools and you have to be really strong to use those because those things have force but just that contact can take all your worries and cares away it just feels good and I sholding something that you made Is just cool in general it's a shame that woodworking is too underrated because if you just try it it might turn out to be your favorite hobby and I think that more women should do woodworking also it doesn't have to be for guys in fact a lot of guys in courage women to do woodworking

Best way I've seen in a long time to include a sponsor in a video. Non intrusive and didn't feel like it took away from the video. Well done.

Finnegan Rules!
Finnegan is the man! Glad you dig these simpler builds, I’m having fun making them.
You made red oak look so modern. A great example of how doing the simple things correctly can turn out looking so fresh and finished. Great vid Johnny.
my dad told me two things: one, you can never go overkill with clamps. and two, he'll be right back with a pack of smokes.
Hah!
Great video, and SMART ADVERTISING!!! Perfect little box in the corner , while Not interuppting the video and gaurenteeing it doesn't get fast forwarded. Very smart
Thanks, and I try to keep my ads from being too intrusive!
I also dislike the look of red oak and love the stain you used. Great project!
Make Something thanks man!
For those without all these tools, taking a cut list to Lowe's and having them cut some 3/4" birch plywood is a viable alternative. The rest can be cut with a hand saw at home.
although i do not do alot of wood working myself, i find your videos very relaxing to watch. thank you
Thanks Lindsay, I think a lot of folks do, hah!
Clean! And you can never over clamp anything!
Clamp Champ! Haha, if you got 'em...use 'em. Way to make red oak look good, love it.
Thanks Daniel!
I love using as many clamps to🤣🤣🤣🤣
That stain looks great!! I love the look of just staining the outside and leaving the inside it's natural color. It adds a subtle contrast to the piece

it turns out really nicely and its easy to build. Nicely done Johny.
I simply love your projects and the way you do it with all the explanation.
Thanks Sergio!
Perfect timing video. Was considering making a toy chest for my girls.
That’s awesome!

Seemed like a challenge to I Like To Make Stuff, didn't it? ha ha
Haha... Bruce A. Ulrich i thought just the same thing!!! 😂 🗜
Great project!
Thanks Felix!
I appreciate both your work and product values of your channel. Thanks for the effort and for sharing your craft with us!
I appreciate that!
You guys make it look sooo easy! I can never seem to get things perfectly square which throws off everything. Great storage chest! Thanks for the video! BE SAFE,GOD BLESS!🇺🇸🙏❤
Really nice! 100% agree on the red oak. Love your color choice.
Great video and project, Johnny! I've not used a stain quite like that before. I need to try that out...this came out looking really nice.
I love the contrast between the inside and outside of the box with that stain. It's very cool.
Bruce A. Ulrich thanks Bruce! I really liked this stain, will be using it again for sure.
Very nice job... the rabbet joint was a great choice.
A very wonderful box made very nicely done
Very nice...make sure your kids know that since they now have a place to keep the toys, they can get more of them!
My favourite builder. Always produce super neat stuffs!
Thanks!
That white wash stain really looks great! Definitely going to try that in a future project.
Excellent build
Great video and excellent timing for me. Thank you! I just acquired another cat. I'm going to turn this into a hidden litter box cabinet.
I love this piece. Nicely done. Red oak is dense enough and very stable; I like using it, but agree, the look is... "meh". Also, I can't wait for the day the whole "pre-" trend ends.

Turned out great man! Looking forward to the next build 👍🏽
The design is beautiful. I really love this piece! Great work!
Nice project!
This is an awesome project man! Love the whitewashed oak. My wife wants me to make one so thanks for that. Haha. Nice work. 👍
Looks amazing and you made it look easy.
Really great project. Beautiful and nicely done. Love the approachability.
Johnny, that looks awesome. I definitely need to build one since my boys have managed to break store bought plastic totes where they put their toys away. But I guess that's how boys are: destructive. Here's to hoping when they're old enough to fix it or build it
Surprised that’s red oak from the thumbnail. Looks 🔥
Thanks man!
Fact: You can never have too many clamps.
Amazing work and result.
lovely box, I want make it, thanks your video
Nice work as always. I was thinking about picking up the Kreg circular guide so that was cool to see.
Go to lowes.. look at the aluminum straight edges (Swanson CG100) is one I've been using for quite some time... measure/clamp ..much better,(imo, easier at least, every tool has its pros/cons in certain situations) + you can do angles with this method
Nice project! 😃
I dig it.
3:38 Shoutout to ILTMS.
Looks great!
Thanks John!
Good project Johnny! Thanks for sharing the video.👍😎JP
Awesome project!
Great cabinet. Great build.
It's not a big deal in the slightest, but you can hide half the base- rail pocket holes by orienting them upward. The cabinet itself will hide them.
Thankyou for making these videos with the perfect amount of education and entertainment. I have learned a ton from your channel. And how does your camera slowly move and change angles in your time lapses?
Thanks a lot! And I use a motorized slider for those shots.
Very nice.
Awesome job, I’m really liking the clean look 🤓👍
thanks uncle, I make it for little daughter, nice
as soon as i saw your equipment for making it i was like oh my this is going to be verry expensive project for me
Table saw, or even a circular saw with a straight edge and a drill and you can have the same results.
“Extremely strong carcass.” Metal band or woodworking term?
Heartwork!
Nice video. Can you do a video on your workshop?
I actually like this!
Thanks Zack!
Hi Zack! haha
Hahaha this is cracking me up! 2 videos in a row zach lol
@@Zack_Johnson I know right, let's keep it going!
Johnnyyyy, another great video buddy. Happy Thanksgiving to your and your family!

Thanks Art! I'm sure your nephew will love it!

Great vid as per usual mate 👍
It is a great looking storage chest/toy chest or what ever you would like to call it. It is a great look. Johnny aren't clamps tools?

SUPERBE TRAVAILLE
Can I use pine? Or some plywood (that might make it heavy though)!
can this be donw without a biscuit joiner?
@ 3:54 sup with all that blue plastic? Looks like you had two guides put together, but the edge guide on one was further out than the other one. That normal? Like do you cut them to precision on first use or something?
What clamps are those please?
How long will this last with no joinery or screws? Is the glue alone enough for lifetime? I like the easy of the build but want one to last
Is there a drawing or a lumber list with sizes?
What bit did you use in the router? Nice video. Love the stain.
Great project........... What type of claps are they.....? wouldn't mind buying some....... :)
Just wood glue to assemble the box ??
3:53 did you cut the jig? Lol cool build though!
I think it's normal for the first few cuts, it makes a zero clearence for later use
Diego Basterrica yup!
@@diegobasterrica6311 gotcha! Makes sense
Johnny Squat!
Can you tell me more about you miter saw fence system.

I love my Festool stuff, it’s about the highest quality woodworking equipment you can buy.
Great build Johnny! Did you have to face joint any of the boards before glueing the panels? I’ve never worked with pre dimensioned lumber from Lowe’s.
Hey buddy, what is that safety strut you used called? I just built a toy box myself and was wondering what that was called
Clamp champ is from I Like To Make Stuff
Yup!
Did the track survive being sawn into little blue bits of plastic at 3:54 ? Looks like a useful tool, unless it eats itself...
That was my first time cutting the extension track, it was cutting to be flush with the saw blade. Totally normal!
So it creates its own zero clearance. That makes perfect sense.
Could you share the clamps link you used in your video at 1:30 ? @Crafted Workshop
I'd skip the blankets and just store a few turkey sandwiches in there :)

When is the boom box build gonna be posted?
Next week!
I made one with hidden wheels to clean under it.
Is it just me or is the guide not released yet or did you forget the link for it
? Great project do 😎
Which guide?
Crafted Workshop the saw guide. But I replayed the part of the video and realize it's from kregg 😬😎.
