In this video I build 3 different boxes, using 3 different types of wood, 3 different joinery techniques, and 3 different accents! It's a lot to pack into a single video so sit back, relax, and enjoy watching the build. Be sure to comment below which one you vote for!
Woah! Awesome job Drew! There is so much to love about this video. The project itself is great - you packed so many things to learn into this video. As far as my favorite, it's a tough call which one I liked the best. I think maybe the oak, though the Birdseye maple handle was beautiful. Looking past the project, you really took the production to the next level. Loved the voiceover - it made it so clear to follow. The intro and outro really grounded the project - and the outtakes were so much fun. Really cool to see this all come together.
Thanks so much, Doug! Yeah I debated making this a 3-part series but who wants to watch 3 videos of me making basically the same thing? Plus this way, viewers can easily vote for their favorite if they want to. I don't know about taking the production to the next level, haha. I ended up using my cell phone for the voice over, the mic on my phone is better than the one on my headset. Did it all in one take and then just dropped it into the editor. Wasn't sure if I should keep doing the outtakes in my videos or not but I found myself laughing at my own stupid outtakes that I figured why not? lol
My favorite thing to build is a box! Great video!
Thanks
This was great again
I would love to have your collection of hardwoods! Maybe I can steal it from your neighbor.
Drew, I really enjoyed the video and seeing how your style has evolved with time.
I plan to make a box as a wedding gift. I will probably use finger joints (a bit wider than yours) and a darker hardwood. I plan to put a finger joint in the handle.
Thanks for the inspiration and the dimensions.
Go for it!
Ace, as always my vote goes to the nested spline box but it could have just as easily gone to any of them! Thanks for these videos.
Glad you like them!
I vote for the Mahogany! Great job, man.
Crafted Workshop WOW thanks, Johnny!! Means a lot coming from you!
Love these boxes. Very inspiring to watch you work. I love the finger joints, but the Birds Eye maple is really pretty.
Thank you so much!
Poplar, Mahogany and then Oak. All of them are special and unique. Love your personal commentary as you build. You’ve got talent! Thank you for sharing that with us. Keep taking us with you as you continue to build great things.
Thanks so much, Steve! :)
The finger joints look the best, and this shows craftsmanship quite well. Sure many of us have seen the finger joint used for the box sides, however, today for the first time I see you cleverly making the lid handle with this joint. Having never made a box before I am impressed here. The nested spline idea would be my second choice. I am a huge fan of using multi color woods and grain patterns. Another great video.
Thank you very much, Lee! I actually put a birdseye maple dowel on as the handle for the poplar box but ended up not liking it at all. I chiseled it off but it scarred up the top pretty bad. Then I thought, "What am I going to do to cover these marks?" It was then that I had the idea of the finger-jointed handle. Some screw-ups lead to good ideas I guess. :) Thanks for watching!!
Wow uh.. you've ..uuh... come a long way in your ..uuuh... videos!! You're easily one of my favorite woodworkers to watch!!
lol... yes these old ones are a bit painful to watch.
Fantastic work, Drew. All three are great. My favorite is the nested spline box.
All 3 Boxes are beautiful and unique in its own way, it's hard to pick a favorite. Great Job.
I have been watching your newer videos for quite awhile so it was fun to go back at watch an older one. Great job as always.
Thanks, Rick!
All three look great, but my favourite is the oak with the walnut cap and splines
I like all 3 Mate, gr8 job on each of them, skilled craftmanship , admiration to you...
# 1, also the music is great
I hit like before I even watch your videos because I know you will be very enjoyable to watch and listen to.
Your voice is soothing, you’re funny and the builds always look great!
Well thank you! :)
I particularly like how you integrated the finger joints into the handle of the poplar box. Well done!!
Hey thanks! My favorite part about that project was squishing that finger joint handle together in the vice. lol! Thanks for watching!
Mahogany + birdseye maple. Nice designs. Thanks for sharing.
Liked all of them. Also liked that little trick with the rubberbands. So simple but have never thought of it before.
Sometimes even the simplest of ideas can really work out nicely. Thanks for watching and commenting! :)
Love the finger jointed handle and those nested splines.
Very nice.
Soooooo glad I found this on your channel today. My old plastic card boxes are wrapped in rubber bands to hold them together. I enjoy your approaches, your instructional method, your sense of humor, and the personal bits you share from time to time. After seeing this, I think I will give it a go as time permits. By the way, I like the nested splines and bird's eye maple the best.
Feels weird watching this old video of yours with the commentary all serious ^^
The lack of satire is scary.
Back when his neighbors stuff was still secure 😂
Great job! Very cool joinery! A couple of tips I picked up on RUclips - use painters tape to hold the mitered joints together while you glue up - makes it much less nerve racking. Also, spray poly makes a very smooth surface - 3 coats (sanding lightly in between each coat) and then buff with 800 grit sandpaper and finish with finishing wax. Makes the surface like glass! Thanks for all your great posts! (Love the humor too!)
Super job; these turned out really well. Hard to pick the one I like best, but the purple heart box just won by a nose. Thanks for sharing your obvious skills and giving me ideas. Best wishes.
I love purple heart as your spline. You done a awesome job I loved all three works of art. Thank you for the great video.
Nice and I love the card stand on top!
Great project. My favorite was the finger-jointed poplar.
Thank you for your time very nice job on all three! I am thrilled to say I’m a newbie into woodwork. I am attempting my first box right now! I am using 1/2” box joints. Using two different woods with that being Poplar and Red Oak. I will be trying to incorporate several ideas in this video to come up with my own variation and style!
I am building up my skills so hopefully one day I can make your trick box. That impressed me and gotta try my luck at it soon
That's awesome Paul! Thanks for sharing and have a blast with the box builds! :)
I like all three of them...especially the one with the finger joints. Nice video and well presented!
Thanks!
Really like all three but favorite is the mahogany. Love the nested splines. You do a great job with the videography and narration.
Thanks, Alan!
Great job! The mahogany one is my favourite.
Can I vote for all three? Each one is beautiful. It makes me want to buy some index cards and start handwriting recipes.
Awe forgot to say which box I liked the best! My favorite was the mahogany box! Again Thank you!
#1 Mahogany #2 Oak # Poplar in that order. I love the warm colors of the Mahogany and that is my favorite one, the oak has warm tones too. It would depend on my kitchen cabinets on which one of those 2 I would choose. All 3 though are beautiful and all the accents are pretty and unusual looking. Thanks for sharing
Thanks, Ursula! :)
I don't know why, but I like the oak one. the only problem is that you make look all to easy.Thanks for your time and have a great day.
Thanks Butch. I picked the same one as my favorite. Thanks for watching!
I have never seen the spline in spline quite that way before, so it gets my vote. Nice work here.
Anything that has birdseye maple and purpleheart is a winner...plus mahogany?....plus nested splines?
That's one of my favorit-est ones ever!!!
Great video!!!
Thanks, Jason!
Hi Drew, I'm a beginner myself and I really enjoyed your video very much. Thank you for sharing your expertise in both the video and woodworking. You made it look so easy. Iike the look of the finger joints. I didn't know what a spline was, but I've seen them before and like the accent they provide. Now I need to go watch the outtakes. lol in advance. I like movies with outtakes at the end
Thanks for the kind words, Rodney! I appreciate that!
Drew this was an inspirational video; I liked the mahogany box the best.
Thanks, Dwight!
Nice work. Get some packing tape and fold those miters in perfect
Yeah, I think this was before I knew about that technique
I know this is an older video but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I like the Poplar with the finger joints the best.
Tough choice to make but I like the splines in the mahogany box, very creative!
Yeah, it's hard to pick my favorite too. But I think I lean towards the mahogany as well. I just love the long feathery grain.
Splindid!
Nice touch on the finger-jointed handle.
Mahogany one is absolutely beautiful!
Well done, Mr. Fisher!
The poplar's handle makes me smile; it reminds me of the old style subway cars in NYC. ;)
I actually started out putting a 1" birdseye maple dowel on for the handle but didn't like how it looked. I had to pop it off and think up something new. I'm glad I did because I really like the look of the new one too. Plus it was fun squeezing it together in the vice. :)
I love all these boxes looks great
Nice job dude i will stay tuned
You did a really nice job on these. Thumbs up!
Thank you much!
The poplar box, I don't see many wood items in green, it's lovely.
I love the mahogany!!!
I really dig those splines accent. They just make it look very cool
My favorite is the mahogany one. I like the bird's eye splines a lot. And nested splines really pop here too. Awesome job on them all though.
Thanks, Chris!
Nested splines, mahogany. Hands down.
New here. Love your videos. So much fun to watch. That poplar box I think is my favorite. I love the joints and how you incorporated it into the handle . Just brilliant!
REALLY... I LIKE THEM ALL.
All 3 were nice but I love the finger jointed one!
Wow, thanks kindly for the video. My daughter is having a wedding shower in May and she asked her guests to bring recipes. This will be a great gift from me to collect those memories. I love the Mahogany box for sure. I've started the box, i am actually using walnut and plan to use curly maple for the splines, coming out great so far. Will be making a spline jig today. One quick question, can you remember approximately how big the box top is, (ie: where you cut the box to separate the bottom from the top)?
I don't, sorry. Just make it about 1/8" + your table saw blade kerf taller than the recipe cards you'll be using.
Here's my ranking: Mahogany, Poplar, Oak.
Great Job! I'll definitely be making one (or all) of these boxes soon!
Awesome! Have fun building them! Thanks for watching, Bill!
Awesome!! I'll make it one!! Thx
Like the way you explain how to make these boxes. Just ordered the plans so that I can make these for family. i like the mahagony one.
Nice designs.
Nice jointery Drew.
Thanks, Ryan!
All good.
19 people are jealous they aren't as skilled as you
I'm a sucker for purple heart so I'll have to go with the mahogany box. However, I do like the look of the finger joints.
Great work !!. Greetings from Argentina.
Gracias!
Walnut love the nested splines.
Hola! 🖐All three are very nice, each with distinct characteristics, so hard to choose just one. Thanks for the inspiration; I love to cook but I have nothing on recipe cards, this project can do two things at once. I can build similar boxes and put "my" recipes on cards to share with my sons. Luckily they all like to cook as well!! Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👊
Glad you like them!
Very nice boxes. I like the finger joints on the handle. Nice touch. Also really like the nested splines. As for choosing...nah, I vote for all three.
Eric Burres thanks, sir!
Nothing beats the beautiful grain of oak
I like the mahogany one but each is awesome
I hadn't seen the nesting splines before. I really like it.
Love the oak but they are all amazing.
These came out nice. I’m partial to working with Poplar for a lot of my small projects and I like the grain contrasts. You did excellent on the finger joints. I’m going to try making a similar one as a Christmas gift for my daughter, here goes nothing!
Thanks Craig! Have fun building
Great Idea and build .... I'm usually in favor of darker woods so I pick the Mahogany Box , but they turned out real nice.
Thanks Muz
My favorite is the Poplar with the finger joints
I think that my favorite was the one holding the recipe for the slow cooker kalua pig - you should post that recipe. :D Realistically, I appreciated all three and will probably try to do them myself. Thanks for the videos! Truth be told, I appreciate the humor of your more recent videos more; but all are good.
Thanks Michael. Yes, this was an earlier vid back before I found the humor niche. :)
I like the walnut with the purple heart
I meant the mahogany
I’m a walnut fan so that would be my choice. Nice job.
Some very fine detail work there Drew. well done! I like the poplar box with the finger splines. Yes, I have subscribed after looking at your collection of videos you have made.
Thanks Dave. Welcome to the channel
walnut is the best, great video, keep it up!
This must have been one of your first clips. You are much more fun now. But I love all of your videos.
Yup, this is an older one. :)
Ciao , sei uno dei miei favoriti, i tuoi video sulle scatole sono bellissimi.
Cerco sempre di copiarti ma... è difficile, comunque mi diverto moltissimo grazie a te.
Grazie mille e grazie per aver guardato!
It's too difficult to pick my favorite. I like all three.
Good looking boxes. I’d like to make a suggestion. When using the table saw to cut your kids off, set your blade to leave an 1/8” behind. This way it won’t collapse the lid and make an accidental kerf Mark.
When doing it this way, you can then take a thin kerf blade and hand cut the rest of the box off. Then you will have minimal sanding to do. You can either hand plane what’s left behind or run it through a drum sander.
...and if you’re making a continuous grain and cut the whole lid off on a table saw, even using shims, you stand the chance of the lid collapsing unto itself on the last cut, causing your continuous grain to look sloppy.
Nested spline is my fave.
I like the mahogany with nested splines
This was a fun one! Sure hope you all enjoy it. My wife decided to keep the oak lap-jointed box for herself, my mother wanted the mahogany one for her birthday, and the poplar one was given away as a gift to a lady at church. Tell me below which one you think is the best!
I think you missed a great dad joke for the three accents you promised, I was sure you were going to go for Sean Connery, Paul sellers, and Troy from swamp people for your accents. But the ones you did were just great 😁
ALL GREAT, BUT SUCKER FOR PURPLE HEART AND LOVE EMBEDDED SPLINES. dO YOU HAVE PLANS?? THANKS SO MUCH.
If I have to choose only one, I would say mahogany.
I'm a big fan of mahogany.
But the joinery goes to the poplar.
The accent goes to the oak.
Overall winner is the mahogany.
Nice
i like them all, but the oak is my favorite.
Gotta agree with you. That's the one that my wife chose to keep as well. The others were given away as gifts. Thanks for watching!
cool
I love the Mahagony.
Thanks, James!
on mitered corners: You can use a pencil, dowel, etc...and press down/roll along the edge to close them up as well. Saves extra glue/sanding clean up.
I know this is an old video. But I would like to see your take on a kitchen utensil holder.
hi,
I really think that all 3 boxes are really good and look like they are professionally made, but my favourite would have to be the mahogany one. I like the way you made the maple splines bigger and put a purple heart spline in the centre of the maple. do you have any plans at all please.
Tony.
Hey Tony, I don't have any plans beyond the rough pencil plans I did at the beginning of the video. Thanks for watching!
Oak was my favorite
