That's really beautiful. As a dude who's made his share of boxes with stuff fit inside, what impressed me most were the tight tolerances on your half-lapped dividers. Mine are normally half friction tight like yours, and the other half just kinda spazzy loose. I'd love to see a tutorial on how you nail the snugness, because you clearly didn't need to glue that stuff in. Fist bump moment: "I bought two pieces of glass... because I know me." - - yes, yes... this is all of us.
I have a tutorial on my website for building this whole project. That liner took some trial and error. I'm happy with how it turned out. It was satisfying seeing it all lock together.
I guess I missed the part where you put the lip on the lid that the glass dropped onto. 🤷🏻♂️ I’m still trying to figure that out. You cut a dado for the glass but the lid was already glued when the glass went in. What am I missing?
Great video and project! Was really expecting you to say while gluing in brass splines, "I just want to give a huge shout out to Binford Tools..." Or some other Tool Time reference given the shirt, lol
That’s beautiful… I’m making a coin display box, during the Christmas holiday break, so, this gives me ideas. Thanks for sharing! I really like the brass splines. I’ll have to try that…
Awesome display case, Billy! Could you share a little more about the wax finish you used? I have never used oil/wax finishes, I usually stick to a Maloof Blend or similar. Could you share some of the things that you like or don't like? Thanks brother, still looking forward to making your puzzle box!!!
I used three coats of Osmo Polyx Oil. Apply with a white Scotch Brite pad, buff it into the wood, wipe off the excess. Super simple and my favorite finish! It's not going to be as protective as something like a poly, but it's plenty for most projects. I get a close-to-the-wood feel, and no VOCs. I can't say enough good things about it.
Hey, I keep coming back to this video. I love the walnut and brass combo. I’ve got my materials and I’m about to start making a variation on this for my wife but it’ll be a wall mounted vertical jewelry box to hang necklaces in. Did you have any problem with brass dust/filings in the wood grain? I heard that’s a thing 🤷🏻♂️
Zero issues and I've made probably 50 projects with brass incorporated in some way. I vacuum the dust and use compressed air to make sure I got it all. Then I wipe the project with mineral spirits or denatured alcohol.
@@NewtonMakes Thanks for the advice! I ended up sanding with Osmo to make a pore filling slurry first, then sanded with mesh discs and dust extraction. No brass dust to be seen!
Billy this is beautiful peice. What kinda price mark would you put on this? Gonna attempt this soon won't be for few weeks been in hospital with a burst tenden in hand had get them repaired so be out the shop for bit but ill be getting ideas down and ready for when am back and fit. 👍🏴
That's awesome that you are figuring out a way to stay creative despite the injury. I really wish I knew! I've been asked to sell it but I'm the worst at pricing items. It's probably why I have a ton of my projects just sitting around.
@@NewtonMakes well if it helps it looks to me like at least £100 display case which would be like $150 but that's just what a think depends what u got in it material wise and the time wise. Yea well gotta do sommit gonna be 1 hand down for 5 weeks. 🏴👍
The most important part, you didn't show the space for the glass, nice box, but it would be a good video if you explained the complicated parts of the process, it's difficult just to watch a video of how you do something and not to learn, regards
It's simply just a housing cut (through housing cut) if you imagine the box as one long length without the mitres cut you would simply make a housing cut through the entire length, you would do one on the side that will the bottom the width of the cut would be the thickness of the selected timber thickness you will use for the bottom, at around 5mm deep or a rebate cut if you want the bottom to be flush, the side that will be the top of the box you would start the housing cut around 3-5mm in from the edge which will be the drop down to the glass and the width of the cut would be the desired thickness of the lid, easily done with either a router table or table saw even by hand with a router. Asking for money for showing a basic box guide is cheeky!

I love that you actually point to where the video link will be and it's ACTUALLY there.
how was the lip/edge for the glass created???
Wait .. how did you make the lip in the lid to receive the glass?

That piece of walnut is really gorgeous, great score on the wood!
It was crazy how much beautiful figured wood came from that tree!

Man that's some beautiful chainsaw work on those huge logs!!
You have no idea how much work went into cutting them! 😉
The grain match really stepped up how it came out. That’s awesome to get a project like that out of wood you milled yourself!
It's really cool to go from tree to finished project. I have to step back and think about that sometimes.
That is absolutely beautiful and everyone who owns watches needs one!!! Amazing job man!
Thanks, man. I was really excited about this project and enjoyed every time I got to work on it.
That grain looks amazing. Nice work on the display box . I love watching these little projects come together.
Thanks for taking the time to watch it (pun intended).
Dude your woodworking skills are amazing, you choice of music, not so much...lol.
Thanks for the share.
Your attention to detail is really impressive.
Wow, that came out nice!
I haven't even watched it yet but guarantee this is on my to-do list.
Same!
I love the craftmanship.
Thanks!
Great video and project!

Beautiful!
Awesome work!
Thanks!
Amazing work, Newton! It looks beautiful!!! 😃
Really well done!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks! I'm really happy with the results. Sometimes, I just look at it...
Very impressive
Very nice.
Thanks, Payton!
Beautiful
Nice work!
Thanks!
Beautiful.
That’s beautiful… I’m making a coin display box, during the Christmas holiday break, so, this gives me ideas. Thanks for sharing! I really like the brass splines. I’ll have to try that…
Beautiful box! Thanks for sharing the grain wrap technique.
Super
Wow that is beautiful. Cheers
Beautiful work!
Make a video with the watches in it and showing off the finish of the display case.
how did you get the edge for the glass to sit on?
Next WATCHWINDER!!!
so Nice;-)Beautiful;-)
Thanks!
THIS MAN COOKED
As always, the results are a beautiful case, Billy. It was "time" for a project like this (groan). Take care.
Bill
It's always TIME for a project like this.
Really nice piece! Where did you get the watch pillows from?
Oops, forgot to include those. Just dropped the link to them in the description. They are pretty cheap off of Amazon but look FANTASTIC!
What was used to hold the box together while it dried? Not listed in the parts used section.

Hello my friend can I have the plans please
BEAUTIFUL, if you sell those let me know because i want one, 8 slots is fine,,
Wow !! The detail is incredible. I’ve been looking everywhere for a watch box have you made any to sell ?
What bandsaw blade do you run for resawing . Very nice project!
I use a 14" Rikon saw. It's performed well.

Beautiful work! How thick was that piece of brass?
1/8"
@@NewtonMakes thanks bud 👍👍
I got extra, because... I know me...
😂 Yes! Glad I'm not the only one
Hey, broken glass happens 🤷♂️
@@NewtonMakes haha, yes, it does
Wow. That was some beautiful figure.
Yeah the whole log looked amazing!

That's why there's an eight part video tutorial series on my website, which I discuss at the end of this video and in the video description.
