A Wooden Fly Box, Hand Made

Hand carving a wooden fly box from a single piece of wood.
/ becoming.a.craftsman
This project was cool and turned out really nice. The hardest part was routing out the recess for the fly foam and the space in the lid so the flies didn't get smashed. It was also difficult to re-saw the piece by hand but I wanted to use all hand tools. I also don't own a band saw so... I used all hand tools to create the box.

Watching your video I really had the sense of going back in time, not a single sound of a modern shop. The magnets threw me off a little though. Nice job and a thumbs up.

Thank you! Hand tool woodwork is really nice. It’s so engaging. I’m glad you liked it.

Nice box and video

[@ericluscombe3272]

have to admit turned out not bad one thing though is there a reason you didn't put hinges inside the box so not visable .

Great work! Loved the end result.

I never see a workshop so dark

I’m new to woodworking and was wondering what kind of plane that was you were using at the 6:50 mark to route out the space for the foam.

[@russellspees7852]

Excellent! Great work with the camera. And a very nice looking fly box.

[@becomingacraftsman9267]

Thank you Russel! It was a lot of work but very rewarding.

[@russellspees7852]

I can’t wait to see what’s next. I hope this channel takes off for you.

Thats a great looking fly box and thx for the video. If you could be so kind, what is the thickness of your top and bottom? where did you find hinges and the magnet? and what kind of oil did you use? Beautiful craftsmanship with hand tools, love it.

I cant find this foam on amazon. do you have the name in your purchase history ? or a link ? Thanks so much!

[@peterdrex]

Nice work! Where did you source the foam from?

[@becomingacraftsman9267]

Peterdrex thank you, it was a fun project, I got the foam in a 10 pack bundle from Amazon. I had to cut it down to the size I wanted and it wasn’t very sticky so I epoxied it in.

[@peterdrex]

Becoming a Craftsman thank you

Nice video. What type of camera and file format do you use. it looks like you're shooting in 4k or more.

[@timothyorourke895]

what hand plane did you use ?

[@povbiology8399]

do you know the name of that planner? I've been looking for a similar one and can't find it anywhere!

[@michaellewis7758]

Looks like a Veritas router plane, not 100% sure, but very traditional, you could just use a palm router... but I think the beauty of this video was that he did it all with hand tools.

[@robbieweeks6407]

Should have used the Dewalt, it would have been a shorter video?

[@becomingacraftsman9267]

Haha I’ll keep that in mind next time

[@ericluscombe3272]

why would you cut it in half with hand saw never get straight cut. I have to admit thou you really did come close
