[@JoshWrightWoodworking]

If your gonna do this, don't be like me, use a vise clamp

[@tracywright9997]

Much more thoughtful and personalized than giving cash in a money holder card. A puzzle to make them work for the gift and a keepsake! Nice!

[@stephenfishman4964]

As we all know, nothing on You Tube is as easy as it looks. It took me about 8 hours to make one. The plan is to make four for gifts; I expect the others to take about 2 hours each. Thanks for the video!

[@JoshWrightWoodworking]

Wow, well thank you for the more realistic time estimate and good luck on the other 3 😁

[@stephenfishman4964]

@@JoshWrightWoodworking This was my first attempt to make a locking wood puzzle. Great way to spend some shop time. Thanks again.

[@anintruder1277]

0:53-1:20 is the most satisfying thing i've ever seen!

[@lincolndickerson1293]

Now thats way better than a gift card!

[@SouthpawDavey]

That is a great. I will try these for my kids. Might keep them quiet for an hour before we open presents at Christmas.

[@ЛЕШИЙ-вделе]

🔴I'm just blown away by your creativity. I also do carving myself, a very fascinating business. Thank you you are a super master 🤙

[@HBSuccess]

Josh (and anyone doing this type of project with a drill press) - wooden hand screw clamps make it much easier and safer to control small parts. I cut notches in the jaws to grab round parts.

[@oxcart19]

Clever gift idea. Thanks!

[@To-Lo77]

😲 was my face when this was completed. Lol. Awesome creativity 👏. Great explanation on the how with the build process. Thanks for the simple but unique & thoughtful gift idea with 🎄 right around the corner, AGAIN 🤦‍♂️. (STILL paying for the last few) lol.

[@LeMayJoseph]

A cryptex that uses wood grain instead of letters. Neat!

[@jimmylovesbikes]

Superstar in the making (I may have said this before lol)

[@rvlifestylelivin]

Great idea! I love seeing people actually doing things and creating! Thanks for the share!

[@tree_carcass_mangler]

Amazing ingenuity. Thanks for posting and thumbs up!

[@garykorzelius5930]

Very clever

[@brucewilliamsstudio4932]

You sir are a genius! I don't get impressed often, but you have an amazing talent with ideas and execution. God bless you.

[@stephenfishman4964]

Other than the obvious, I can't wait to get back to the shop to make some centering jigs for my most-used forstner bits. GREAT gift idea!

[@lynjermey6423]

What an imaginative project. Your skill is amazing.

[@cretin1979]

I wasn't too sure where you were going with this, but I'm so glad I watched to the end. Well done! I'm definitely going to have to give this a go!

[@arizonaheatwave4080]

Ahhhh yes!!! The old hammer saw!!!

[@bjohnjunior]

Did anyone else think these were going to be Snowmen ornaments?? Ha! fooled me. This is a pretty darn imaginative and cool project. Well done, Josh.

[@flboy77]

This was pretty cool. Might try to make these for my nephews.

[@kameljoe21]

Super cool Josh!

[@jaydoe3707]

Normally I skip to the end of videos like this to see what is being made but I found this one interesting enough to watch all the way through. Good video.

[@YahushuaMessiah777]

That is a neat idea, thanks for sharing.

[@spencerbass7142]

That is neat.

[@ericdube892]

Very cool keep up the creative and great work 👍

[@stephendoherty1275]

Great job!

[@chrisgulotta3533]

I love your creativity.

[@JDnBeastlet]

Hey Josh, cool video. That tip around one minute in about making a template to mark the centre of a dowel is a keeper - thanks!

[@1AXMRDR]

I have to admit, I couldn't figure out what you were making. Pretty clever. Nicely done. I doubt I'll ever go to this much work to give away money but it really is a next level way to do so.

[@glennryzebol4472]

That was actually a pretty cool little project mate!! Well done

[@pteddie6965]

You are a wizard. I love this little project.

[@Puffball-ll1ly]

Very cool 😎

[@arizonaheatwave4080]

Pretty cool idea!! 👍🏻

[@jimmcnett]

That is a very cool idea. Nice job and it looks fun to make. Thank you for sharing.

[@valeryezirmi2334]

Excellent !!!! 👍

[@karodora]

Love this-very clever. I’m a grandmother and don’t have any woodworking tools. Instead, I’m going to send this video to Santa’s workshop and ask if his elves can make them for me.

[@magicworldbyjorg]

,a cool video keep up the great content.. Thank you……

[@larrywalby6933]

That is awesome and beautiful at the same time lol

[@louschillaci]

That is a fabulous idea - I love it1!

[@timdobbs2283]

Great video

[@jonmartin6451]

This is a great idea

[@pathardage1880]

Clever idea. Thanks.

[@ryanm2214]

Really neat bud!

[@Perspectologist]

This was very cool. I couldn’t tell what it was from the thumbnail. I watched out of curiosity, but I wonder if a more descriptive title or description might attract more views since it is a really interesting project.

[@markb8954]

I agree. The title is lacking, the mystery of the locking wood is not.

[@howarddavies3744]

nice idea, thanks.

[@danielgamache3149]

Genius!

[@haraldkrahl612]

Schöne Idee. Klasse 👍 😊

[@roysnider3456]

Great idea 👍

[@dospalmascb]

Very impressive.

[@tooljunkie555]

Another cool project! ..u should make a diy drill press vise or something to hold stuff when using drill press besides ur hand ..had an accident 6 yrs ago and wasn't pretty

[@user-rd3hr2uw1k]

Diy da vinchi cryptex puzzle box! Should make a video making a more elaborate version like tye one i mentioned

[@herkleslie4561]

thats cool

[@securitysam]

Great videos and cool idea. Also i subscribed, because you DIDN’T ask me to unlike every other video I’ve ever seen on KZbin.

[@WhenLifeTurns]

It took me a couple tries (kept grabbing the wrong size bit) but I got one to work. Super gratifying project

[@JoshWrightWoodworking]

That's awesome!!

[@snakeplisken2123]

I wouldn’t use a spade bit into end-grain on the drill press especially without a vice. This would probably be best done on a lathe but would require the lathe and about $400 in accessories.

[@pa.fishpreacher6166]

Josh , would a bench top drill press be sufficient enough in woodworking over the floor model ?

[@james134542]

Should title this wood cryptek...

[@lindakleckner215]

Have you ever made a frame for a window? I still like those light holder things👍.

[@melodywilson5255]

How do you come up with this stuff? You are awesome!

[@john20pb]

I wonder if there's a way to modify it so that it doesn't come out if you get part of it right and only when you have the full sequence right like a cryptex would.

[@JoshWrightWoodworking]

There is a way, it's just harder to do. I made a video a while ago making a full size cryptex that requires the full sequence to open. This is just a more diy friendly version.

[@alexb9039]

Awesome! Now send it to The Lock Picking Lawyer youtube channel to pick open :)

[@patshipp9195]

💖💖🙏🙏👍👍

[@james134542]

What he didn't tell you is the dowel can NOT be a snug fit it you will tear them apart getting them out..

[@hohohohehehe6910]

So match the grain to get the money

[@andrewhicks6055]

Excellent project. What kind of saw are you using?

[@JoshWrightWoodworking]

Thanks, it's a Vaughan 10" pull saw

[@lornefellner2331]

Hey i have never seen glue like that, what is it called ? And where can I buy it?

[@folksme]

I guess it is just CA glue and accellerator.

[@borislum1998]

that is a pull saw. just pull to cut you will cut easier

[@blakedeeb6307]

I’d have to paint it. The kids these days would match those grain patterns way too easily.

[@billk3320]

What size for the drill bits?

[@tonybarracuda3505]

PAY ATTENTION

[@ProbablyUnacceptable]

I have tried this about 12 times and never once got it right... :(

[@rwind656]

Hi, Josh, cool project. So it's not really a lock, it's a container? Because we can see the grain and line it up. Still cool. Just expected a lock and wondering if you have any ideas to turn it into one? Also, a version to store a thumb drive and keep it hidden, please?

[@JoshWrightWoodworking]

You could maybe paint the dials to hide the grain and add numbers insted. I have another video making a bigger, more secure version of this project if it helps kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIKvZYSXqZZkisk It is harder to make tho

[@COEYRN]

OK stupid question. I don't have a piece of round wood that thick. For me to buy it it would cost quite a boy. You have to have a around inside. I was wondering if I could do the outside square instead. I have some beautiful Especially designed for curving wood that a very kind man gave me years ago. think that would be OK right? Also I've seen videos where they attach the drill to like a makeshift drill press if you know of any videos like that could you tell me maybe Which video is the safest. That's the only thing I'm worried about it's safety

[@JoshWrightWoodworking]

Not a stupid question, I think square stock would work too and could look pretty cool. As for safety I am not very good with safety myself so I can't give good advise on that. I would say try and use a real drill press and a drill vise to hold the work piece.

[@COEYRN]

@@JoshWrightWoodworking 1st, thank you for replying. Im actually a woman and have to fend for myself. Example, the short story is my brother-in-law took the drill press i bought for my dad, RIP and keeps saying he will give it back, but its been 4 YEARS!!!! It's been impossible to drill a straight hole. Not to mention ridiculously dangerous. I've seen videos on how to Jerry-rigg a drill but also seems unsafe. It sucks.

[@marknthetrails7627]

👍✌🖖🥃

[@tornagawn]

Oh…..now I see what you’re making…. 7:37

[@COEYRN]

I know you don't care. I know nobody cares but I'm gonna go for it now.I'll let you know how it goes🤣🤣

[@COEYRN]

Oops, oops 😬 ok third times a charm 🤞
