Louis Vuitton Inspired Trunk (Part 2)

[@billbris]

That is likely to be the most thoughtful gift I have ever seen. You should be proud of what you have done. Your story and stories will live on for a very long time. Bravo!

[@boreoff]

Many thanks, that's very kind, all the best

[@ingegerdandersson6963]

That must be the most luxury tool box ever!

[@boreoff]

perhaps it is, hahaha many thanks

[@TheHealthyGenius]

Just exquisite. I love the fact that those tools are the source of that creation , making them more valuable actually if you think about it

[@boreoff]

thanks very much, good point, all the best

[@fepatton]

Beautiful tools deserve beautiful storage! That bit of diamond plate in the lid is hilarious. 😂

[@boreoff]

yes kind of ironic in a way although LV do sell a tool box with aluminium plates, once saw a copper one too....thanks for watching, cheers

[@RestedTÖST]

I can respect how he chose to use it. He really loves doing this. I’m the same way with cooking.

[@cobberpete1]

Well, that was a surprise. After seeing the first part, I was expecting it to be a gift for your wife. But why not for your son. That is what is called an heirloom piece and will see a 100 years at least.

[@fepatton]

That’s what I was thinking too. “Here you go dear, I made you a really fancy carry-on case!” “Thank you…wait, how much does this WEIGH?” 😂

[@boreoff]

thanks, yes she was initially surprised too hahah but I have made her plenty of things over the years to be fair, warm regards

[@Flash-Strike]

@@boreoff GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS ❤

[@gossipboy54]

Why couldn’t one of his male or female fam members not inherit this trunk? I didn’t realize luxury trunks were gender specific? I’m confused. And what’s wrong with him making himself a trunk. Weird comment.

[@Tmrfe0962]

I admire your attention to detail. Especially @ 5:12 where the newspaper you use has a reference to KZbin…very clever and humorous. Thank you for your extraordinary work and for taking the time to film this, for our entertainment. Cheers!

[@boreoff]

thanks so much, appreciate the comment, yes filming it adds time and difficulty to say the least ...!

[@T_B]

Stunning piece! 💪🏻

[@boreoff]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@leandrobeninca]

Your skills are INCREDIBLE, sir. I have no words in my vocabulary to express how beautiful your work became. Congratulartions!

[@boreoff]

well that's very kind, appreciate that, all the best

[@kc2sc]

Beautiful piece of bespoke work... true art.

[@boreoff]

Thank you kindly

[@jackcorrigan8814]

great work, i'm a bit jealous of your workshop view :)

[@boreoff]

thanks very much, yes it is very rural here and quiet...not for everyone but I like it...cheers

[@Godsfavouriteidiot_]

Last time I was here this video wasn’t out. Really looking forward for to this. I’m sure I’ll comment afterwards.

[@boreoff]

thanks very much - thank goodness for google translate! regards

[@rjrotermund]

That is top notch!! Absolutely beautiful. Someone will be very happy with it!

[@boreoff]

thanks very much, yes he is!! regards

[@zuke-ci4vd]

I was wondering what the diamond plate was for, a Toolbox! Of course! Excellent job.👏👏👏😎👍

[@boreoff]

Thanks 👍 cheers

[@imakedookie]

an exceptionally dedicated task to make this trunk.. an apprentice's toil to become a journeyman was to build and house all the tools of the carpenters trade, and here you are, making something to bequeath to your heir. fuckin right-on man.

[@boreoff]

hahah thanks very much, I was aware of this practice but had not thought of that!! cheers

[@DigitalSwagg]

Absolutely incredible, enjoyed watching every second of this beautiful build. Just subscribed.

[@boreoff]

Thanks very much, welcome to the channel, cheers

[@gcicary]

Wow, that is amazing, what a perfect box for those hand tools. Really impressive work.

[@boreoff]

Thank you very much! cheers

[@ewetuber186000]

Beautiful

[@christianweller4288]

Perectly detailed, Learned so much from this.

[@boreoff]

Thank you 🙏

[@Cianan-vw1lb]

I laughed when I saw it was for tools! But why not? Beautiful tools. Beautiful box.

[@boreoff]

right, thanks, yes wanted to actually use the trunk otherwise it just sits there...what better!

[@sallymatthews-y7z]

brilliant job - what a wonderful tool box hahah lucky boy ! And those tools - fascinating video, thanks for posting

[@boreoff]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@thomashverring9484]

Amazing work! While watching the first video I wondered what you would do about the nails penetrating. Did you just cut them off or did you peen them as well? Peening them all seems a little ... much, but will they hold fine without?

[@boreoff]

Hi, thanks very much, and great question - I had originally planned on riveting them all as I wanted to stay true to the vintage methods (I don't think the modern ones are) but that was not possible partly because of access/space - in the end I riveted the handle - it needs this strength, and riveted some of the accessible Belt nails but just cut the others as seemed overkill and unnecessary. I clinched the closures as that was also important and some selective key base frame ones too - I wanted to film more of the riveting but I just couldn't get the lights, the camera and the hammer in there while balancing the trunk on those aluminium plates that acted as a counterforce!! I managed to film the lid stay - exact same method as that. Choosing to make a half size version of the LV trunk ended up causing me all sorts of difficulty - the larger trunk would have been easier in the long run! I was thinking about doing a voice over on a shorter version of the video as I learned quite a lot on this project and wondered if that might be of interest?

[@eastbaystreet1242]

@@boreoff Simply amazing to watch - thank you! And if you are comfortable doing a voiceover while working, I think most of us would enjoy it.

[@boreoff]

🙏 thanks appreciate it - I did do a short version with a voice over - on my channel if you are interested…cheers

[@thomashverring9484]

@@boreoff I'll check it out! Thank you :^)

[@patmoostach6580]

What a deception, that was the most interesting part! Just cut them and it works? Bof bof bof......

Very good work, congratulations! I would like to see more new videos from you. 😊

[@boreoff]

Thanks very much, that's kind, I am planning a few more but as you know it all takes time and not my day job 😊

[@seba6040]

very inspiring and that's such a great job you've done, keep it up

[@robmurphy1590]

Great craftsmanship and good video work too!

[@boreoff]

Glad you liked it! Thanks very much. Cheers

[@TroyBrophy]

I totally called it in the first one! The fanciest toolbox!

[@dafroz2479]

Now that's a tool box!

[@boreoff]

yes it sure is, he is happy, thanks for watching, cheers

[@choff01]

You are a talented craftsman, sir. May I ask how long it took for you to build that? It's a wonderful gift indeed!

[@boreoff]

Thank you, very kind. With the filming and trying to work out the design using photos etc it all seemed to take a long time but I have no idea actually as it is just for fun and I grab short moments in the workshop in between life, 2 kids, 2 dogs and work...! But once the design was bedded down, it is not that time consuming and a project anyone could take on with some woodworking experience. The leather handle is probably the most difficult element as saddle stitching in thick leather is challenging...! all the best

[@steveleblanc6007]

How did you finish all the nails on the inside before installing the liner?

[@boreoff]

either riveted or clinched depending on access as limited space, cheers

[@shanegagnon]

Incredible work. Congrats. Can I ask, how long did this project take you?

[@boreoff]

thanks very much - it is really hard to say, not sure I can even estimate it, sorry! seemed to take a long time as I grabbed a few hours here and there in betwen life, work, 2 dogs and 2 kids!! Plus with the filming adding extra effort and inconvenience...and working out the design from photos etc - all the best

[@custom-furniture]

Love it. What a great use of that beautiful trunk - to fill it with beautiful tools - are you those hand planes made by you? Great work.

[@boreoff]

Thanks appreciated- they are modeled on Krenov’s hand planes and not too difficult to make…good project cheers

[@JG-OK]

Thats some tool box

[@boreoff]

right, fancy enough hahah

[@andreasmeerkamp8627]

Very beautiful work, what did you do with all the nails on the inside? Just cut them?

[@boreoff]

Thanks 🙏 they are either riveted or clinched - my other video with narration discusses this, cheers

[@Nega_lether_craft_studio]

Золотые руки!

[@boreoff]

Thanks 🙏

[@kaeverens]

Yesterday I was sitting in an airport thinking about how ugly my luggage was. Today this pops up on KZbin. I'm nearly certain they're reading minds or something... Beautiful work

[@boreoff]

funny I often say the same - spooky sometimes, thanks for watching, cheers

[@louynne]

Loved it, but the first half you showed bit by bit second was cut short it seemed.

Uncle Hank slowly shaking his head at your comment.

[@GeorgeWTush]

Great legs at 0:33!

[@robbutler1947]

Do you make these for sale?

[@boreoff]

afraid not, just for fun, cheers

[@posegroup6177]

hi can u tell me where all the locks and hinges and clasps are from please , struggling to find solid brass

[@boreoff]

www.malle2luxe.fr - he speaks English and restores trunks and sources very good quality hardware in different sizes so ideal...cheers

[@Dan-Chrssy]

The choice of newspaper was interesting!

[@Godsfavouriteidiot_]

2:31 THIS! Repairing those guides and riveting is a nightmare to position the block when the trunk is 4ft long 😅 finding this information is hard and using almost exclusively the wrong tools!

[@boreoff]

Yes I agree - I asked my son to help me out as everything was moving all over the place! You really need what the french call a 'bouterolle' - it's a heavy weight tool that can butts up against the head of the nail- that you can't seem to buy anywhere these days - there are lightweight ones on Amazon but they are not good enough and not necessarily the correct size. Also the nails have solid brass heads but actually have a steel shank which is very strong but much harder to rivet. I am used to riveting copper not steel but I got there in the end by placing those alu blocks under the head..what do you do? Just wondering? cheers

[@nancylynch6045]

Those tools need a special box.

[@user-ma7ri7na7p]

👍🏻💣

[@cbrown1232]

Navigating to the LV web site to find…. An equivalent trunk is priced at CAD $60,000 😮

[@nnasab]

Those tools should be gold plated, otherwise that chest worth more than the tools. 😂

[@boreoff]

right, not wrong, upside down thinking hahah, thanks for watching

[@AdmiralStoicRum]

I just have to know, has Louis Vuitton tried to sue you yet

[@boreoff]

hahah no, not yet anyway!!

[@norrinradd9206]

Just curious cause the video doesn't show. The brass nails sticking through to the inside. Did you just bend them over or did you clip them flush? Thank you great video.

[@boreoff]

Hi there, thanks for watching, I answered this already in an earlier comment but to save you scrolling - mainly a combination of either riveting or clinching depending upon access and/or the need for strength (handles)...cheers

[@smalik0786]

Amazing work but Louis Vuitton may get jealous and want to sue… they are crazy that way… lol
