The box is on the project list 🤣 Thanks for watching!

It's been a while since I watched the video but I think a few of the parts were longer than my sled. I do use stops when I can.

Thanks! It was a fun build.

Thanks for the kind words!

Nice! This was my dad's, It's got a nice old smell as well. The compass is a loose pivot and the screw is stuck but I make it work 😅

Thanks for watching, mainly walnut in these toys.

The wax is supposed to burn, not sure about the correct amount of heat though. I think It's how they make blackened iron in Europe.

It's a jig that I got from Rockler www.rockler.com/small-cribbage-board-templates-3-player-curved-track

Thank you very much!

Thanks Richard, they're super fun to build! If I'm feeling adventurous I'd like to build one where the parts are maybe round.

@@heyimamaker Oh that sounds really interesting!

Thanks! The box is still on my to-do list... years later 😂

perfect pocket watch for a villain with diabolical plans

It's all part of the journey. I'll be making some boxes this summer and splines are on the list!

I love them, I usually stick with 0.7 and 0.9. they are cheap enough where I don't feel bad if I ruin one.

I believe the video description has a link to a blog post with the details. The wood I used is maple.

It's been a while since I made these, but keeping them in the house they loosen up as they dry. but they're fun to look at.

The stitching wasn't as complicated as I had thought it would be. Well, it hasn't come apart yet!

It's a Canadian brand General. I'm not sure if they're made anymore. But if you're looking for a bandsaw I'd look for one that's 14", mine is 10" but it's a bit small for some tasks.

Hey, thanks!

In the video description, there's a link to the block post that shows the pieces are required to make it. Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much!

I wanted to use brass but I couldn't think of a way to make a nice cut. Maybe I could use my wood lathe and hacksaw blade. But I like the maple walnut idea, even inverting it with a maple clocks and walnut dowels.

Really? I still haven't seen Hamilton.

It probably would, I actually sent Rockler a Tweet because after this I modified the bit. I enlarged the the hole every so slightly and used a better quality bit. After this board I had made 2 more without issue, no clogging and very little tear-out.

I used a bunch of F clamps

He was using a block plane. It's a small low angle hand plane. A sheet of sandpaper on a flat surface can achieve the same thing

Yup, I was using a block plane. If you keep your eyes open you can find them used for a decent price. But sandpaper will also do the job if you can cut the wood thin enough, but this step isn't necessary.

That's a good idea! It's winter here at the moment but I'd love to make another box with some nice pattern work and more advanced joinery.
