Box Making Techniques A Piston fit tray Part 1 of 2

[@gregmarquis1886]

Thank you so much for this video, David. Now I finally know how it's done. I can't wait to try it.

[@davidbarronwoodwork]

Good luck Greg!

I love your final glue-up / assembly process. I don't know why it never occurred to me to partially assemble before applying the glue, but that sure seems like it would ease the time critical nature of the glue-up. Thanks much!

[@davidbarronwoodwork]

No problem!

[@Mienecus]

Nice to see you back on KZbin 😀👍👍👍 Nice box and very useful technique.

[@davidbarronwoodwork]

Thank you, six more videos will be posted in the next couple of days. All the best, David.

the tiny brass hammer is cute

Thanks for sharing your wood wizardry!

Very instructive. Notice he doesn't use the handle on the shooting board plane.

[@MultiWarrior63]

Thanks David, appreciate them all buddy

[@davidbarronwoodwork]

Thanks Ken.

Amazing !

When I use my shooting board I always get blowout on the far edge. I notice you don't. What do you do to stop blowout

[@jayj4142]

4:07 - I didn’t really understand what you were explaining there…could you please let me know? I want to understand do I can make a tray like this for my toolbox, but just didn’t get it. Also, how did you cut the groove for the bottom panel? How far inset from the bottom edge does the groove begin? I didn’t see that covered in the video at all. Thank you.

Beautiful work David! As usual. Please tell me what is the name of the plane being used with the shooting board? Where can I get one? Thanks. And for me also...nice to see you back. Keep your videos coming.

[@davidbarronwoodwork]

Thank you. The plane is the Veritas Shooting Board Plane, I did a video on that too. All the best, David.

[@handyjim]

loving the video's gotta get making dovetails by hand will check out some of the tools at harogate tool show

[@davidbarronwoodwork]

There will be someone demonstrating my guides on the Classic Hand Tools stand. I'll be doing it myself next year. Enjoy the show!

Given the seasonal movement of wood in most climates, is a piston fit actually a good idea?

[@MrSbenn69]

Piston fit is great, David, How would you allow for seasonal wood movement?

[@MrSbenn69]

😄....answer, go watch part 2 of this set and read the comment, ...wood for box and tray same material and grain direction.,, Well you might be lucky with that.., need to. Take account of this though if you are building with contrasting wood species..

[@whiterabbit9115]

which sort of wood is that ?

[@bjrnmeldgaard9071]

Is that a Tite-Mark gauge with an extra lignum vitae insert?

[@masterprecison1]

Thanks please what is the red thing you sawed with for the dovetail? I need that to buy for different angles?

[@dylanneely91]

For anyone still wondering its just a dovetail marking gauge. Paul Sellers has a FANTASTIC tutorial for making your own. In the meantime freehanding your tails (THE LAYOUT LINES, NOT THE CUT. ALWAYS PLAN BEFORE YOU CUT) will still result in acceptable joints and provide good practice. Alternatively ~8° on a protractor will put you pretty much dead on a happy medium. Perfectly sufficient for anything shy of shipping crates.

[@rudolfzaris675]

just perfect :-)

Thank you!
