This looks so neat!

[@Donegaldan]

Great explanation. Skilled tradesman.

Hey Mitre 10, I'm a brickie from the Uk... And love what you do for the Nz ! Wish we had a similar service for people who'd like to do some chippy work. I took up a load of our t&g from a loft conversion I'm doing and put together this chest yesterday...!! Thank you for inspiration and keep it coming...!! Dave (from the uk)

How'd it go? Still got it?

[@TheDublin47]

I love the way that you show the brass screws it very rustic and old fashion Nice work looking forward to more videos Good luck from Ireland

[@bobholloway3015]

I think this is great - well done Mate!

[@juancastrillo2571]

tks thank you for inspiration

[@MarkMiller-zm2th]

Great build mate

[@carlaohistoria1]

[@hardestpill5320]

[@davidmckendry3143]

Thanks for the inspiration I made this for my sons first birthday with his name on the inside 👍🏻

[@suresharasu7471]

super amazing working

[@nikpetropoulos7580]

nice project..very simple and easy..

[@tjkoker]

Cheers mate. Overall, a nice job. A couple more hints. Always use a screwdriver to mount your brass screws. It is too easy to snap off the heads with a power drill. Second, I noticed you left many nails and screws above the board surfaces. Might want to countersink them.

[@gemmathiesen8963]

Renata was the one so adamant I lookup Woody Hyezmar in the internet. It's got quite a few good plans in there I had to admit.

Buenas tardes, a cuantos grados van las duelas de la tapa y q ancho tienen ? Saludos de mexiko

[@kymagred]

What is the width of the tongue and groove boards? What is the starting width of the slats for the top? (Before cutting the angle)

[@MarTheVampireQueen]

wish you would list the material needed along with measurements needed

[@neelsackerman1202]

Great video. How about sharing the plans

[@dylanjames3303]

I enjoyed the video

[@jasoncollins5478]

Awesome chest! How did you decide or calculate the 24 degree angle by which to cut the slats for the lid?

[@MrBonners]

The radius How many degrees in how many slates. Then the complementary angle. Grade 7 math.

[@whatsmyageagain1000]

@@MrBonners Helpful and condescending all at once!

[@markywellsboy2182]

Did that pan head screw split the baseboard skirting?

[@chaem2168]

can you DIY a coffin

[@martinameggiorin2154]

how do you work out the right angle to tilt the slat?

[@admiralgoodboy]

Diy is life

[@jamespolucha6911]

How did you come up with 24 degrees for the top

[@kotiromaori5288]

thats cool

[@damevamptomb]

how about a shelf unit? with rounded shelves? for a corner unit?

[@mitre10nz]

Hi TJ, We are making more furniture clips this year. Keep an eye out! SR

[@avery.s7681]

any way I can buy this?

[@superman4ever0311]

Just an FYI in case you don't know. Pecker means something completely different in the US

[@Blagger3000]

superman4ever0311 I think he said packer, as in packing out the hinge.

Hope superman4ever0311 doesn't watch the video where he builds a raised "dick" in the garden! ;-)

[@SierraSnowFrancis]

"Some old floorboards" which look brand new haha

[@Hisham_HMA]

its the same process

[@Tofuandtwowheels]

Were can i get the t&g board? Mitre !0 doesn't even sell them!!

[@mitre10nz]

Hi Brendan, We got ours from a timber recycling yard down in Christchurch but you could get yours from any recycling yard. SR

[@justinwhetstone6669]

[@rw-in1fm]

How do you pre-drill a hole?

[@mitchellquinn]

r w With a hole predriller.

[@shonamagouyrk9575]

I absolutely loved building home fireplace mantles, cabinets, u need it, but we had the tables and saws needed, IM SO LOST AT HOME, can I accomplish building this if I don't have a saw to cut angles for the top? I only have a hand skill saw, with no table arrg, it hurts me to watch all these great tutorials, when I know I don't have tools that r needed

[@whosaidthat5236]

Check out Paul sellers on KZbin he uses only hand tools ... well until recently he started to use a bandsaw and a very funny looking air filter helmet thing

[@brucelennon9224]

Got a spare room ? Put a long bench in it first up ....then the rest will fall into place ...just buy the tools for one project at a time .

[@pollywaffle1458]

you should have put a 3rd rib in the middle of the lid to make it stronger

[@DiHandley]

They're not "Panhead" screws. They're countersink screws.

[@jordanbarry8646]

Can you make me one

[@williammullins1574]

perfect for my daughters toys

[@lukefinlayson1867]

Can you please list all the materials needed, as well as the measurements?

[@mitre10nz]

Thanks for the feedback Luke, you can find materials used on this helpful PDF guide here: www.mitre10.co.nz/guides-and-advice/guide/how-to-build-a-treasure-chest 😊

[@andrewn7329]

The screws were countersunk screws, not pan head.

[@Azharuddin-ve2li]

Good sir

[@paradigmshift7202]

Easy as!

[@dtriniboss]

hi. do you have plans for this chest?

[@GregorKropotkin-qu2hp]

!?

[@dtriniboss]

I mean finished measured drawings with measurements done using AutoCad or Sketchup.and available for download and printout.

[@dtriniboss]

I don't under what you're talking about. Here in the western world we pay money for well drawn up woodworking plans.

[@MrBonners]

David As he said, the material was old floor boards. He is not building a high end chest and he is not selling plans. Plenty of online sites have plans for sale or for free. Can you not wipe your ass without instructions? What ever measurements you want and the material on hand can give you.

[@MrBonners]

David It is a shop lap 'six' board chest, not a Saturn 5 rocket and this is woodworking not rocket science. Detailed measurements are not required by even the most amateur of woodworkers. No patience for people that ask first before even attempting to engage few brain cells. Intellectual laziness can't even make the effort to word search 'treasure chest' or cut up some scrap to test build. They need everything just handed to them. We need a war to clear out some dead wood.

[@calholli]

3:00 ... Why that split makes me happy.... I do not know.

[@starchanelo7265]

build me one lol

[@MsRASPBERRY85]

[@thediscoman2001]

lovely box and then spoils it with panel pins

[@MrBonners]

Then use something else. It's allowed you know.

[@pollywaffle1458]

use screws for the sides (walls) and the lid, there alot better than NAILS, I cant believe I'm saying this to a pro

[@hawkmoe2789]

that box looks like shit

[@skafook]

Chur nice video

[@timm2020]

Did he say Pecker??? In the States that word means something else. We call these little boards cleats.

[@pinballrobbie]

doesn't know a panhead screw from a countersunk screw though!

[@randypontony1683]

You can find nice instructions on Wood Prix's plans if you like to build it

[@cusher0603]

Where?

[@starkaran8390]

Thanks Randy. I love that

[@raymondadriano3744]

Thief can easily remove the hinges and steal all the content , ha ha it's a fairytale treasure box...

[@quincylewis6839]

Lol thats cheating with the tongue and groove :p

[@schoolsout15]

i think i might make an actual wooden chest and then fill it with cheap jewelry and fake gems.

[@maddog1918]

he looks very unhappy to be there lol

[@alexbacon1444]

so not a professional wood worker then

lol.. pecker...

[@tokeintuckz]

tickdog3 i was waiting for someone else to notice this was watching another aussie channel making a deck 😂😂

[@pollywaffle1458]

why do new zealand people call NAILS pins LOL

[@pollywaffle1458]

@David Sharma no us australians call them biscuits, but if they are cookies in that case I suppose we use both those words: biscuits AND cookies 🤣🤣👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
