Awesome looking box! The handle looks cool. I just can't handle the music and all of the handle comments. 🤢

I jsut made one for my wife and laser engraved some cats and butterflies on it. She loved it, took me 1 hour :) 250 for this is robbery

Billy, where do you get you brass bars? I'm in the Houston, TX area and cannot find any place that sells it.

Simple box... Beautiful work of art! No more words... just emotions.. Thank you for that!

Great video! I’ve never seen it done that way. I’ve done my fair share of drifting over the last 30 years. Thanks for great tip!

I'm anxious to try this idea. A couple points... I would think that it would be difficult for the band saw blade to drift out of the TS cuts, another reason to use this method. I would like to know the best options for 7 1/4" blades for this method.

Box joints are stronger

Finally I can stop dreading large cuts on the bandsaw! thanks for the helpful tip!

Make a video with the watches in it and showing off the finish of the display case.

It’s one of the most satisfying things to do..

In the time you made those cuts on the table saw on a piece that size or really any medium to small sized piece you could have turned that round on the lathe in the same time or less when you get good enough. Using sanding blocks helps with uniform thickness when turning cylinders. I'm just a guy who got out of highschool a couple years ago, just sharing a few things I was taught. (Always remember to tighten the tailstock during rough turning.) The harsher impacts of the tool on the piece loosen things up.

Hello. Tell me, what kind of wood are you using in this project?

Absolutely beautiful!!!

Good stuff! I bought some brass bar clamps at a tool shop in Tokyo this summer and love them.

I'll definitely give that a try. I've wasted so much wood cleaning up my bad bandsaw cuts.

Yeah but who makes the sanding sticks

I really want a table saw but ive seen some tragedies even among people that used them for 40 years.. I generally rely on my mitre and band saw, plus a router table.

Yes, it definitely looks better with the handle

I have been in this business over 40 yrs and never made a coaster either, trivets yes, but never an end-grain coaster. Why? Have your client drop one onto a hard floor and see how it goes. However, this has given me a great idea. I have begun to dabble in wooden boats and now have a lot of fiberglass scraps. So I can see some of these on the radar finally. Thanks

And here I am thinking all these years what to do with those baby doll heads. Thanks for the answer! Gorgeous little box.

Very good tips, thank you. When you mix tung oil and mineral spirits, what is the proportion for each? Will it work good with a soft wood like parota? Or just for hard woods, if so, what do you recommend for patota. Thank you!

The box looks elegant with an oriental or Chinese flair. Good job.

Any reason you didn't use the dye on the maple before glue up? Seems it would really speed things up.

Awesome box. I just saw your channel on KZbin and you do fantastic work. This box is totally beautiful. I have made several boxes i have a incra position system on my router table and i made double dove tails box.. It has been over 10 years that i have made any boxes and i want to start again since i am retired. your channel inspired me to start back thank you.

I am a motion graphics artist and I also stage live events. I use the Golden Ratio in everything I do: videos, gardening, photography, landscaping, and woodworking.

This is so freaking cool...and you explained the process simply and easily understood, even for beginners. Thank you!

Now you gotta turn some salt & pepper grinders!!

You're the best.

OK, Nice, not which one is SALT, and which one is PEPPER.

Perfect... copying this.😊

I definitely prefer with the handle - even if it is not needed, it tells me straight away how the box opens. And it looks really cool and ties in perfectly with the overall design.

I just ordered one. Thank you for your input, especially about how to set it down after a cut so the attachment base doesn't move around and mess up the next cut. I find the price point to be very reasonable for how often I will use it, and the set-up to be fairly quick and easy, and the accuracy outstanding.

I have tried this in a couple boxes and I confess that I am amazed! However my external mortises have a trend of end up "slanted" due to the fact that the central tenon doesn't provide enough support to keep the board perfectly steady and aligned 90 degrees to the sled while I cut it so it's challenging to make it perfectly squared. I am going to try to make a large central tenon and small external mortises in order to achieve a better support and avoid my board keep wobbling. Otherwise I must be missing some small secret trick to do it right!

The music couldn't be more annoying. Still I appreciated the video.

Should have done maple for the salt

Great video. I would really like to see you update this one. Thx.

Adding A couple of very small with rare magnets along the edge of the lid and base could be a good idea that helps keep it closed as well

That looked real messy to make!😂

Those three carbide tools will do everything you need to do on a lathe of that size and power.

I found a Harbor Freight lathe at a garage sale last summer that even came with the tool kit for 100 bucks! I jumped all over it, took an intro to woodturning class at my local Woodcraft store and I'm hooked.

Turning can be highly addictive 😅

More turning could be cool. Maybe a bowl and any spindle work.

What is the wood you are using for the base? Is that some kind of plywood? Did you mill it thinner?

Nice video Billy you've become a turner. Trust me it's addictive. Couple points from my view. You need a chuck and your carbide tools if there basic/came with it reach out to easy wood tools probably one the best brands for carbide turning tools im sure they'd jump to work with you. Also in my opinion your better sticking to carbide as with traditional gouges your gonna need whole bunch more than 5 carbide and you need whole sharpening set up grinder the whole works just saying 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 need any more info drop me message

Really beautiful work, Billy! 😃 But, you know... I believe there are kits out there, so you can make a pepper grinder! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Nice first turn. If you really are going to get into the hobby please get a face mask. Turning is so much fun and so many different things that you can create. Enjoy and turn safely.

Are you reading my mind? I have a lathe on the way. Bought a cheap one but returned it as it was dangerous. Real one should have been here Friday. Damned delivery company 😢

Save old nuts and bolts? I’ve got two large coffee cans of odd nuts and bolts and other esoterica I’ve had for years.

Try turning wet wood from fresh cut tree limbs as it’s a good way to learn in the use of all the different wood turning chisels. And most of all keep those tools razor sharp.

Invest in a hard hat with a visor; the moment a piece of wood flies towards your face, you'll be thankful for it. :)
