King's Fine Woodworking what angle degree are you cutting the lid slats?

[@calray29]

Where is the list of material?

[@solsdadio]

I would like to say how much I appreciate your videos. With so much negativity in life it’s good to watch something as particularly grounded as your woodworking. Nothing toxic just shared insights and experience, well edited and delivered at a comfortable pace (with added family input.) Take care.

[@supremegodemperorpalpatine4872]

Ah, an old-fashion lever lock. Excellent choice.

[@teresawatson7]

Awesome box. Great video. How lucky is your daughter to have a dad like you.

[@joshl90]

That CA glue trick with the hinge is a great tip

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi Josh! Thank you!

[@bobbertbobby3975]

I love how you get your family to help you so much. its a great way to get kids interested in woodworking or any other craft or trade. starts a lifelong love, and I should know...its how it happened for me. Great Dad there!

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you very much!

[@myronlubman8714]

Your work is great! I really enjoyed watching you complete the 2 benches and the pirates chest. I'll continue to watch you work. Thanks, Myron Lubman Altamonte Springs, Fl.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi Myron! Thank you very much for watching.

[@MarkMiller-zm2th]

So cool your kids share your interest in making. Nice build

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi Mark, Thank you!

[@vanessanez24]

Love it! My granddaughter (3 year old) would most definitely be estatic over this exact one! This is at the top of her Christmas list, a treasure chest filled with gold coins and jewelry. Since, I've been looking around for one, one that is unfinished (due to cost and paint myself). If only I were able to find one just like this. Would be perfect!

[@davesteinick833]

Just a tip: I have done some odd shaped glue joints in which I've had great luck with using ratchet straps, rather than trying to get a purchase on funky angles. I use a scrap piece of wood where the metal touches the work piece, and the joints come out very tight.

[@dirtfarmer7472]

Very nice treasure chest. A good video too. Thank You Sir

[@11111972cjb]

Subbed & liked. I have been looking for a second hand small chest for all my metal detecting finds for the last year but after seeing this I may make my own. What an awesome project. Thank you so much.

[@EdwardJamesKenway...]

Off topic but what is ur pfp?😂😂

[@dannyharrington978]

Great video! I really like how you thoroughly explained each step with products and tools used!!!

[@anthonyhayes6968]

It is the first time that I have seen your videos and I have to say that you do it in a way that even beginners like me can follow. Keep up the great work you and your family and thank you

[@wadesaunders583]

fine woodworking channel indeed.

[@beebob1279]

Fun. We usually give away something at our PTO school Halloween party. It won't be this year, but next year this would be a great raffle prize. Thanks for the idea.

[@DaBoy2187]

15:40 what a satisfying key drop sound

[@sumosprojects]

How good is that, I was talking with a fella who worked for a high end furniture manufacturer here in Australia a few years ago who said that adhesives available nowadays are at times the only form of Joinery used, amazing to think that, nice to see the whole family helping out 👍👍👍

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

I am always amazed at the strength of the glue I use. If I make a mistake in a glue-up, I only have minutes to take it apart or I will destroy the wood trying.

[@sumosprojects]

I think that the correct temperature & also clamping technique will do the job, sometimes I think we over do the process but things like pocket Hole Joinery help in assembly, cheers & take care mate 👍👍👍

[@maryannhicks7829]

Beautiful treasure chest. I wish I had one.

[@michaelmiller1109]

Pure Gold content!!!

[@MCsCreations]

Beautiful work, James!!! Really nicely done! 😃 I really miss your videos!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you. We have several coming out here shortly. 😁👍🏻

[@MCsCreations]

@@KingsFineWoodworking Fantastic! Great to know! 😃

[@cdomenique]

Really beautiful work! Thanks for the video!

[@colinjenkins3654]

Great job easy to follow will be having a go at that after I've gained a bit more experience. lovely finish. Thanks for posting.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@sofianebenhadj60]

very very very good job

[@kennethstewart2865]

Excellent job! Love your tutorial! Thank you! Can’t wait to make mine.

[@brieun]

Brilliant, looks beautiful

[@joelegrand5903]

I trained under a furniture maker for 36 months, he believed in gluing every surface & wiping the glue away with a cloth wet with very HOT water. I like the chest, bees wax on the threads of the screw is how I do it , after predrilling.

[@fred4513]

who in their right mind would give this a thumbs down? a piece of art!!!

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Haha, Thank you!

[@IgnatSolovey]

The thing is, that when you skip on mobile devices, you may hit a thumbs down. Also, thumbs up and thumbs down are located closely, so some people hit it by mistake and don't notice. It's all up to interface design and people's inattentiveness.

[@AngriestEwok]

Beautiful work. Now I want to make one.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Awesome! You should do it. I even have plans if you need it. Thank you for watching.

[@blifamansmith3320]

GREAT JOB. Thank you for sharing. Video well made and easy to follow along. Project is beautiful.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you for such a nice comment!

[@TomKaren94]

1:55 - to make sure you don't overtighten, put a piece of plywood cut to the correct width in the clamps with the workpiece. 10:20 - because of the CA glue, you can't remove the hinges to sand. Try painters tape to hold the hinges while you drill. 16:20 - beautiful job. I'm going to use this style along with a hidden drawer to make one for my grandkids. Great video.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hello, brilliant suggestions!!!

[@GREE7107]

Great work; love it. Thanks for upload

[@garciacindy2035]

[@willybravono.1seal714]

fantastic job, love you!

[@bigcatdaddy76016]

He created more work for himself.....so when he tells his daughter, "Daddy worked hard on this project, he won't be kidding....WOW!!

[@ianbeaton4702]

Cool story.... now you can tell your daughter “daddy’s a huge fucking buzzkill who rags on other men who do nice things for their kids.

[@hassanal-mosawi6049]

Thanks for showing how & sharing that

[@TheLuizamigo]

CONGRATULATION JAMES 😍❤️😘🇧🇷

[@arravas]

Wish I had s father like you, the amount of stuff I'd want made lol 😆

[@ivancarrejo466]

That was bad ass!!..good job!!

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@decorationetamenagementabe5233]

Beautiful

[@oldfartpushingashoppingcar5979]

Love this chest and great video , I think I'm gonna build one but use wood pegs sanded flush in place of the screws.

[@B18-a]

The box looks really good. And i like your detailled explanations

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@tomlagatol4448]

I'm subscribed...and I really like how you involve your daughters! My daughter and I have taken an investment of her's (a house) and brought it to a whole "new" level. It was really a great time, every minute of it! Thanks for your vids. I look forward to them.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

That is pretty cool. Upgrading and renovating a house is a lot of work. Thank you for watching.

[@lolwazeid]

good job

[@jeffchisholm2769]

Loved your video and the finished product. One of my coworkers has asked me to make a wedding card box for his upcoming nuptials. This will fit the bill nicely. I'm afraid I might be reluctant to give it up if it turns out as nicely as yours.

[@ZERO_42069]

That looks awesome

[@ryanivester5042]

Really amazing and beautiful job. Another project on my list to do (building a huge list it seems). The only thing I would have changed would be the stain color. I'd either use a dark stain or try to use one of the aging stain methods. I really enjoy time-period stuff like pirates so I would want it to look ancient almost as it had been burring underground or underwater. Now only if I could find real treasure I could afford all the tools I want but probably don't need lol.

[@Woody-777]

Nice job, well done good sir.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you very much!

[@raulsanchez4493]

Nice work!

[@kingdiabertus]

Great piece of work mate, quality item along with some great tips.Also liked the quality of the actual video itself, keep it up

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!!

[@kingdiabertus]

you're more than welcome and I've subscribed as you have a really interesting channel 👍

[@robertbrunston5406]

Looks nice! Thanks.

[@paulbignell6977]

Thank you very much!

[@usernamenotfound4046]

Awsome 👍

[@2shoestoo]

Nice chest King!

[@DiHandley]

Yes I did like your video, and yes I did subscribe.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

[@ShogunJimi]

very nice -

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@Maker238DeLoach]

thanks man!

[@3987robert]

Beautifully done!! I think I am going to try making something similar. Your video gave me some ideas. My projects don't ever go this smoothly. lol Thanks for the video. I subscribed.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi Robert. Thank you!

[@MegaPaul1973]

You have an impressive work shop.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@skullandbadbones]

I love the box! I'm going to use your design as a base for mine. I will be going for a more authentic look by using straps of steel, solid hammer in rivets, forged nails, and distressing-figuring-burnishing the wood before a boiled linseed oil finish. I have been wondering for quite some time what kind of carcass I will use to frame it out. This looks ideal.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

That sounds pretty awesome. You should send some pictures when you are done.

[@marijavucenik752]

[@EdwardJamesKenway...]

AWSOME VIDEO! I am 100 percent gonna give this a try once I get my table saw and chop saw. I’m gonna watch every video you’ve made, good job! Could you maybe consider a video on wood burning? I want to try and Woodburn a logo into the chest I make.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

thomas hundley, hi. Yes we can work on that.

[@EdwardJamesKenway...]

KFW awesome! Keep up the good work💯

[@starrmyres7841]

Woodglut is a good solution for every woodworker.

[@aaddershaheen2962]

Nice

[@Cole_Douglas]

5:15 I changed my mind, I’m building a mailbox instead

[@mysterydrew7844]

Haha!😃😃😂😂

[@cessnaflyer]

excellent!

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@friesians4ever]

Love this! And what a beautiful name...Rima :)

[@alexandreschumannrs]

Parabéns irmão , muito bem feito lindo mesmo

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Você é muito gentil. Obrigado.

[@sergioavelar4682]

Is amazing

[@jansuchy635]

Hello! I would like to know how did you calculate the angles between the slats for the top pieces.

[@nicolasignorile5073]

Bellissimo

[@peterforden5917]

As your wood is Oak you could have stained it the old fashioned way ,by using liquid ammonia placed in a saucer with tent of plastic over it, and the wood, depending on how pure, and the strength of the ammonia' letting it stand overnight will give your oak the appearance of 'age' this was a trick I learned when I was about 9 (I'm 71 now!)asking a worker in a local church what the horrible smell was and , WHY :) he told me he was installing new bench pews in the church and the vicar wanted the new ones to match the centuries old originals, which were a beautiful black, probably a bit late for this job, but in the future ..... :)

[@wanjos6562]

perfect

[@AndreLyssenkoff]

What are the dimensions of your box? Great video!

[@allanpaganini]

Hi James How are you? It´s really so beautiful. I´m impressed with the project. Congratulation for you and your family.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you.

[@jasonrustmann9876]

A good way to clamp a rounded lid like that is with tie downs, just ratchet them down good and tight, just put a board or two on the inside bottom to keep them from taking t much pressure and you're good

[@pghcustombaits2816]

Where did you find sandpaper sheets that large and what size. Having a hard time finding big sheets. Thank in advance

[@Spratlyk9]

Thanks for posting this video. Im planning to do one of these. What is the angle on the top pieces? Thanks!

[@1701spacecadet]

But why's rum gone?

[@jaycardsfan]

What angle did you use on the table saw for the top? And what was the final width measurement?

[@lucialima781]

lindo demais amei muito

[@eagleflight2465]

Great work. A strap clamp would have worked great for clamp the curved surface.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Great idea.

[@ChristopherSalisburySalz]

The box looks great! I am curious why you didn't do any sort of joinery like finger joints, dovetails, or even a rabbit-type joint (name ?)? I know you possess the knowledge and skills for all of the above.

[@jimcooney9019]

you should try a matte finish its cool .good job

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi Jim! That's a good idea. :-)

[@jimcooney9019]

it's a very clean finished look

[@michaeleasler5249]

Just curious as to how you calculated the angles to rip the top boards to meet the contours of the arched sides? Also, had never seen the oranged, elevated supports you used during the finishing of the box. Do they have a name? Great looking project!

[@thepoweroftruth3624]

WOW!!!

[@martinameggiorin2154]

how do you work out the angle for the slats to follow the curve?

[@mastermind1204]

I need 7 of these 🗝️☠️

[@mattmcman5674]

I love the idea of a treasure chest for the kiddos but the one step I'm just not smart enough to figure out, is how did you calculate the angles to cut your lid slats? I tried to research a way to do so and just cant find anything helpful. Never was good with geometry. Please help a fellow dad.

[@tammyfinch4325]

Leather belt up over the top and down the front and back and a v groove at each joint on top.😉

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

That would look nice.

[@just-dl]

A thin bit of soft leather on the lip of the box, where the lid closes, makes a nice seal. And hides small gaps. I love adding leather to wood projects!

[@moorshound3243]

you yanks use power tools for everything! nice box.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Yes, except what we use hand tools for.

[@fatimalouassi1646]

Interesting
