Greetings John, wanted to let you know that I have watched you make these boxes, and also have two of your templates that I used. Outstanding results for me because of your tutorial, you are a gifted craftsman.
I’d love to see you build the two on the right. Also, it would be funny if the box with the two knobs sat well upon the smile box. It would be a smiley face.
Hi John it's certainly very easy to see from this video as to how you went from making these bandsaw boxes 📦 back in the early stages of your woodworking career to nowadays with you making those wonderful old-school pharmacy cabinets. Timeless and amazing keepsakes on both your early days and now!. As always buddy 💯% 👍 🇬🇧.
I bought a bandsaw about six months ago. It’s still sitting in the box in my garage. Once I find a time to set it up I’m definitely gonna try something like this. I love the mid century modern look you have going there.
Enjoyed watching your builds....great explanations and teaching style. Also have built several "smile" boxes.....and not quite as easy as you make it.....but as long as you put the curves on the cuts, it all comes together! If you have video of the scalliwag box...please put that out when you get the chance. Looks fascinating . Thanks for all your videos.....really like the way you teach!
Really beautiful work, John! 😃 I don't have a bandsaw... Yet! But as soon as I buy one I'm definitely going to try making one! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Nice. I made one of your smile boxes last year and it came out a treat. Thanks again for the designs! I am (almost) in business myself selling these, along with some designs I am now making myself. Your advice about putting the back on after you have cut out the main box shape is useful - it kinda saves a step and adds a step but definitely the right way to go for a lot of things.
That is a nice project...Is a 10” bandsaw enough to do this ? I do have a big Rikon 10-324 as well but only have a wide resaw blade for it. The 10” bandsaw has a 1/4” blade.
Yup, the smaller saws can handle these just fine. Every box from my Kickstarter was made on a little 10” Craftsman which is very similar to the 10” Rikon.
You actually threw away all that wood?!? Like, literally in the garbage? That hurts my soul. Do you not live somewhere that you could put them on craigslist or FB marketplace for free? I would snatch those up so quickly to make end grain cutting boards. Anyhow, now that I've ranted, I love these boxes! I bought your plans for the mini barrister bookcase and currently making some mockups using repurposed pine before I use nice wood. Anyhow, looking forward to trying these when I'm done! (Would love to see any of those boxes being made.)
Haha ya sadly I did. At the time I was making those in my l parents garage and then moved into my current house/shop, so they sorta got lost in the mix.
Love the retro ones at the end of the video too.
I second the comments to see how the retro style boxes are made! Such a cool video; thanks for sharing 😊
I would love to see more of these boxes made.
I'd love to see you make the retro small boxes on the right side, those are all great!
Thanks for sharing. The video was not only informative but relaxing to watch. Great boxes!! Do more boxes...
Thanks a lot Jack!

I'm always looking for new bandsaw projects and I love this one. Awesome design!
I’d love to see more videos of your beautiful band saw boxes!
Would love to see lots of designs that you've come up, your boxes are fun and just different enough in my opinion to be really interesting.
Thanks for sharing. I'd love to see the other ones done.
Absolutely FANTASTIC! Thank you for taking the time to make this smile box, video it and share it! Definitely subbed.
All of them are great. I would watch every video you put out on them. I love making bandsaw boxes. Only made a few though. Great video btw!!
Thanks Mike!
I would like to see you make more of the other boxes. this one was a nice build.
Just bought a new 14in bandsaw... Can't wait to set it up and use for fun projects like yours... Thank you..
Having made a few band saw boxes in the past, I can really appreciate how much work & time is involved. Those are some really nice boxes! 👍👍👏👏
Thanks Steve!!
Such a cool box - as always, you makes carpentry look so simple which is an art.
I’d love to see you build the two on the right. Also, it would be funny if the box with the two knobs sat well upon the smile box. It would be a smiley face.

They’re great entry level projects and should help you get used too using the saw. Good luck!
I really like bandsaw boxes. I don’t have a bandsaw right now but definitely plan on making these in the future
I just made my first bandsaw box. What a learning curve it was for me! Leaving the back off at the start is a brilliant idea.
Great to hear Terri. They’re a lot of fun! So many possibilities.
Very nice, John~! Definitely something I'd like to try my hand at for some gifts, so thank you very much for the free plans on your website~!!!

Hi thanks for sharing this project. Just hat i was looking for. Will be trying this soon.

Thanks Brian! Glad you’ve found some success with your work.
Thanks, these are great boxes!

Use this as a "I would love to see how the others were done" button
I don't find the small one on your plans
There’s only one size. To make the small one, print the regular size at 50% size.
