Build a Vintage Shoe Shine Box (Part 1) (MonkWerks)

[@CMRWoodworks]

Looking good. The ray fleck in the wood is gonna look sweet when finished.

[@monkwerks]

Yeah, the wood looks even better than I was expecting, I think it is going to look awesome once I fume it.

[@SteveCarmichael]

Great video and good editing. Thanks for the mention. Can't wait to see part 2. That's going to be a really nice looking box with that wood.

[@monkwerks]

Thanks Steve.

[@steveh5014]

Looks great. Looking forward to part 2.

[@monkwerks]

Thanks Steve, part 2 is in production.

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

Hey! Where is part two!? :) Enjoyed your videos so far.

[@JohnColgan.]

I can't find Part 2 of your shoeshine box ??

[@meanders9221]

Very nice box, but white oak is hard and heavy. Hope you don't have to tote it around much ;-) And thanks for the intro to katalox, I'd never heard of it. I'd like to try some -- it's cheaper than true ebony I hope?

[@monkwerks]

The strength of white oak was one of the reason why I chose it. I plan for the box to get a lot of use. And yes, Katalox is a cheaper alternative to Ebony. I wouldn't say that it is cheap, I think it was around $15-20 per bf the last time I bought it but compared to the price of Ebony its a bargain.

Did you ever complete the part 2 video?

Father, my apologies, however, I am unable to find the part 2 of this video. Would you mind providing a link to it if one exists? I greatly appreciate it and God Bless.

[@monkwerks]

Josh Herzberger Unfortunately part 2 has alluded me. I'm hoping to get it done soon, sorry for the inconvenience.

[@mdbohica]

Not at all, I was just curious. Have a Merry Christmas Father!
