It doesn't really matter whether the videos are "good" or "bad". I watch these purely for the therapeutic value. Seeing woodwork being done using hand tools at a slower pace is just so satisfying.

Incredible box and handtool work Gillis. A rec on the squeezeout - I always wait until it is semisolid and then pick it up with my 1/8th inch chisel. It comes right up and doesn't smear. Love that QWO - my fav! Merry Christmas 2023 :)

Thank You Gillis...WOW!!!!...I think this is my third time watching and each time I catch something new. As a life long machinist my one negative focus were the store purchased hinges. Please don't misunderstand. Your construction was totally beautiful. In my past projects I would always make unique brass hinges that could never be purchased at a store and made for that particular project never to be made the same again. I do this because I have the machinery for making it and it is FUN! Please keep this in mind if in the future you have an idea for a unique hinge. Sketch out your requirements & run it past me. In my simi retired life I do have the free time and interest. Again your workmanship is quite enjoyable to watch to say the least!.... TM

That's such a cool offer, I'd absolutely love to use a unique hinge like that! Thank you for offering! And I agree about the store bought hinges I used here, they were the best I could find within the timeframe I had but they are definitely flimsy. I don't have anything in the progress at the moment needing hardware, but if you want, you can send me an email so I know how to reach you :)

The quality of the craftsmanship, the steady video recording without mad cuts, the crisp audio befitting your calm voice (a touch of rain on the roof: nice) without forgetting the total absence of power tools, all of these elements elevate this project to pure KZbin bliss. And resawing wood planks entirely by hand?! That is sheer dedication. Respect. Really hoping to see more projects in the future.

Great video. Love the process, but I'm not keen on contrasting timbers, so the finished box isn't my favourite. You made most of the box exactly how I would have done, although I might have clamped a batten in place to guide the long cut when taking off the lid, and I am sure I wouldn't have planed out from the walnut across the dovetails for risk of breaking them out. I have also finally given up on Osmo after years of frustration. Did you consider making the tray base first and them using that to ensure the sides stayed square when clamping? I've now subscribed, and will work my way through your back catalogue of videos. I hope your wobbly bench and weak vice don't annoy me too much!!! Your video style is precisely how I like them.......gentle, laid-back, matter-of-fact, and letting the woodwork dominate rather than music or some shouty presentation style.
@GillisBjork
@GillisBjork 2 жыл бұрын
Thank you for your thoughts! A batten to saw against is a good idea, and you're absolutely right about planing out across tails. It can be done with a sharp blade, skewed angle and shallow depth of cut, but I don't know why I took the unnecessary risk. Making the tray base first would work too, but I figured it would be easier to install it afterwards because of the extra pieces with the groove, which would be a lot to juggle in a single glueup. Not sure what you mean by wobbly bench and weak vice, but glad you like the video style, I hope you enjoy the rest :)

The contrasts are already very extreme, but I like it very much. As always, my hat is off to you! What kind of wood is the lid? I think I overheard that and I've never worked with wood like that.
@GillisBjork

Sorry it took so long, Doc! I very much intend to keep publishing :) Many thanks for the kind words. The lid is spalted beech; beech is a pretty common tree in Europe at least (unsure about rest of the world) but usually gives quite dull looking lumber. But when spalted, it becomes one of my favorites. Real "diamond in the rough" kind of situation with that species!

Love it. Voice sounds fine to me and the audio was good all round. A very satisfying viewing experience. I've been thinking about obtaining a fillister plane, you spoke briefly there that you love that Stanley. If you get the chance, could you explain why you like it so much?

Thank you, glad to hear it! Yeah I think the Stanley 45 is awesome. It gives so many options and finetuned adjustability, which in the case of grooves is very useful in my opinion, as I often want a very specific fence offset, groove width, or depth of cut, to match a dovetail location or something like that. Dedicated wooden planes filling all the same roles would take a huge amount of space!

Available space - that is a fair point and quite a big seller for me. My workspace is pretty small, specifically its a narrow 7 foot wide workshop so the versatility sounds very appealing. Thanks. Love your work by the way, its very inspiring.

How do you manage to get a saw you can sharpen and use that well for ripping? I'm looking everywhere but I can't seem to find one

Lots of flea markets and keeping a close eye on local auction websites. I've started looking for brass bolts/nuts and wooden handles, as that signifies age (not a guarantee though, of course), and don't be afraid of rust, that's easy to remove for a tool that'll last lifetimes. If it comes with rip or crosscut teeth is not the biggest deal, you can change it when sharpening, so tooth/gullet size is more important in my opinion.

I hope you are feeling better. It was worth the wait! Is there a reason you did not shape the box prior to cutting the lid off?
@GillisBjork
@GillisBjork 2 жыл бұрын
Many thanks! Yes indeed, it was to make sure the lid would align when closed. If I shaped the sides first, any misalignment after the hinges are installed would affect the curve.
