[@sumosprojects]

Much enjoyed viewing, some of the tips I’d not heard of so thank you 🙏, greetings from Australia

[@PatrickJarrett]

Just discovered the channel and have watched a half dozen videos. Then I realized you haven't posted in a while! Hope all is well and you come back to share more videos soon.

I love this, the only thing I might add is a little block to keep the brass rods in place. Just incase someone decided to be a little aggressive with it :)

[@mellowfellow9]

I had the same issue with cupping of boards at the joint. I use a plane to shoot the board close to 45, then freehanded the fit with a chisel by removing the high spots on each end. It worked, but it was tedious, and the box has a noticeable (to me) cup on the outside. I'll try the water trick next time. thanks

[@ofcourseitsme5023]

Very nicely done. Really enjoyed the brass rods and was surprised by the drilling of many holes... had not a clue. Thanks!

[@mechantics]

You have mastered not only woodworking, but also the art of instructional presentation. Cheers!

[@HowIDoThingsDIY]

That's a high end box!

[@jimstewart1044]

This is a very cool box! The brass rods are a fantastic idea. Nicely done!

[@Craftswright]

Thank you very much!

[@redponywoodworking6554]

Just stumbled across this video. Fantastic piece, love the design and those shadow lines make it pop! Keep it up!

[@normancoutts]

A great concept and a gorgeous box: plus, I learned buckets of new techniques as I watched. An exceptional video. Wonderful - thank you.

I just ran across this channel last night while doing some research for installing a french cleat wall in my small workshop. Since seeing that first video, I have been watching various others here. I enjoy your sense of humor and honesty when you realize that something didn't go exactly as planned. Thanks for keeping it real. Also, thank you for taking the time to film, edit and share your adventures with us. I am now subscribed and looking forward to the next videos. :-)

Thank you much for the comment and kind words. Welcome aboard!

WOW what a nice job

[@Craftswright]

Thanks!

[@bobbonham4823]

Nice! I'll have to build one. I've always called the thinned glue sizing. It was used to shrink and stiffen muslin on theatrical flats (scenery pieces). Merry, Happy, Enjoy! Looking forward to your next projects. Thanks!

[@Craftswright]

Very interesting, I feel like I've heard it called that before but now I have a good idea as to why!

[@mattpeterson7074]

The more projects I do, the more I dread using my router. I've messed up so many projects with that thing. Glad I'm not the only one nervous with tool. :)

[@Craftswright]

Right there with ya brother haha

[@dansarfert3585]

Another excellent project Cody-- a brilliant box that I must make. I just binged several of your video's and you have great style. I can see this channel growing rapidly!

[@Ace-zb5xr]

If I ever make another box I'll definitely re-watch this video; Too many good tips! Good job.

[@Craftswright]

You can never make enough boxes lol

[@Sebastopolmark]

GREAT video. You spent quite a bit of time getting it right. There were several tips & tricks that we can all learn from and put to use on our next project. Will have to watch it a couple of times! !! !!!

[@Craftswright]

Thank you so much Sebastopolmark!

[@MitchX]

That really is a superb piece of work, something for me to aspire to.

[@roberthenry3452]

Beautiful work on the box! Those rays and the grain matching - amazing! And great inspiration, tips & tricks on the build. Subscribed.

[@spaltedwoodsman4368]

I subscribed to your channel based on this video without seeing any other content. Great box design. Awesome idea using the brass rods! Based on this project, the rest of your content has to be great!

[@johnross9369]

A beautiful piece my friend and a most informative and instructional video. Keep up the great work and keep the videos coming.

[@Craftswright]

Thanks, will do!

[@coreycollins5702]

Nice box, I have been doing small boxes in between large projects. I love big pieces, however a small box is a great way to play with your tools and doesn’t demand a lot of resources, until one of those boxes are a Birdseye and wenge Spanish cedar humidor.

[@tomsdreamshopworx]

Nice looking box. Two ideas, use Baltic Birch plywood in your boxes, much more stable, much better looking, much flatter. Second Buy a standard 7 1/4” x 24 tooth framing blade and use it in your table saw to cut the box is open with. This won’t work on a Sawstop. It gives a much better cut then the bandsaw.

[@Craftswright]

The baltic birch is a solid idea and I don't know why it didn't cross my mind haha, the other I'll definitely look into. Thank you for the tips Tom!

[@elizabethsuggs993]

Very nice.

[@Craftswright]

Thank you

[@DeltaMaverick19]

I don’t usually comment or subscribe but you have a great channel. Looking forward to more videos. Your content is great, esp the French cleat stuff. Great job and good luck.

[@Craftswright]

I appreciate that very much and welcome aboard!

Almost had more problems than me. Love how you show how you work around everything!! Great video

[@ga5743]

Love your style of videos. Sweet box and thanks for all the cool tips.

[@Craftswright]

Thank you, I'm still trying to develop and lock in my "style" but I feel like I'm getting close!

[@melindajohnson3394]

OUT(bleeping)STANDING! Oops, Navy excitement bubbling up. This the best demonstration of continuous grain construction I've seen yet. BZ on using moisture instead of mechanical methods to correct the cup.

[@Craftswright]

Thank you much Melinda!

[@dougc78]

Another great video. I always learn something watching your videos. Keep up the great work.

[@Craftswright]

Doug that's probably the nicest compliment I can receive on here. Thank you.

[@cfbarnett]

Excellent teacher! Excellent!

[@Craftswright]

Wow, thank you!

[@samuelstrode4838]

I love the box idea. I am currently obsessed with boxes this one is something I truly want to make. I am concerned though I have always heard if you veneer one side then veneer the other or it could cup/warp. Thanks for having plans available

[@ogenmatic]

Very nice

[@Craftswright]

Thanks!

[@peterpe5851]

Nice build! I wish I would have an idea box to out this build idea in there :-)

[@iandodd7828]

Nice nod to "Arrested Development" at 10:06. A highlight of my résumé.

[@Craftswright]

I'm just stoked someone caught that! hahaha

I was wondering about that warp when I saw you planing the board... It was springing up-and-down

[@MCsCreations]

Beautiful work, dude! Really fantastic looking box! 😃 Happy new year! And stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@Craftswright]

Thanks! You too!

[@donf3739]

Well-done videos! What kind of saw blade are you using? I've looked for a 1/8" kerf 10" flat top blade (for rabbeting), but the closest I could get was a 9/64" Amana.

[@johnd126]

Great box! A question about using plywood for the bottom and top. Have you ever had a box break apart because of using solid wood for a top and bottom like you talked about? I've heard and read that it could happen (including in '52 Boxes in 52 Weeks') but I've not found someone who it actually happened to.

[@mechantics]

I've seen several antique dressers with bottoms cracked
