HOW TO: Building a wooden sliding lid groomsmen gift box from oak, Tips and tricks

[@HowIDoThingsDIY]

Great video! I got a good tip from a viewer on my channel to pull up my long sleeve when using the table saw. Safety first!

[@Squay313]

Awesome video man, gonna try the same design. Thanks!

[@petertoncic]

Cool video, thank you! 👍👍👍

[@JDCDDesgins]

Thanks for watching!

This might be a stupid question but for the piece attached to the lid, is that the cut off from the side you only did one dado in or is it cut separately?

[@JDCDDesgins]

I originally planned to make this lid from a solid piece of oak. But I was short on time so I used 1/4" ply with a oak veneer on it.

[@ricanboy57]

Yes Lauren it's better to use the cut off than try to fit a new cut piece for the top edge.

[@Haiderhearsawho]

What are the dimensions of the box

[@williamhdixon]

I need to make three boxes, but they are rather larger, although shallow. All three will be approximately 14" x 18". Two will be 3" high, one will be 5" high. Would you expect this technique to work satisfactory on boxes of that size?

[@migueldelacruz2086]

Nice! Good work! What stain or finish did you use??

[@JDCDDesgins]

I use the Minwax wipe on polyurethane finish. I loaded it in my spray gun to apply it quicker.

[@ricanboy57]

How easy does the top slide in and out? Is there anything you did to make it a more smooth slide?

[@JDCDDesgins]

it slides very well. You can rub some wax on the lid section and this will make it slide even better in that groove!

[@Кот_Баюн_180]

Классно получилось 👍

[@sharondippenaar]

looking for this design, non of the links work

[@NinjaMan2191]

Im so confused and idk why. But with the opening lid the box end was the same size wood as the oposite end you cut the little section off but the cut off bit still made it even when closed im confused cause when cuting the end piece u lpse the thickness of the blade? What am i missing that im bot thinking of. Hopefully u understand

[@edwardzurick2618]

I had the same confusion. I did not see how the sliding edge was attached or how you knew to measure it for it to be flush when closed. The video was great except for that. After the glue up and strap, the video jumps right to pulling our the slide WITH the edge attached. No clue how you made that to be precise.

[@rupplal7401]

[@WowHeyNow]

Why did you put tape on your cutting line

[@DEG1985]

Excelente video me he subscrito a su canal muchas gracias... Excellent video I have subscribed to your channel thanks ...

[@JDCDDesgins]

Thanks for the sub!

[@camibohn1017]

Not working. The video says "unavailable on this device" but I am on an iMac. Any idea why its not working?

[@JDCDDesgins]

Thats very odd, Thanks for shearing that, il have a look into this.

Nice video, good work, and I love that silicone finger thing for your table saw I haven't seen one of those before. I am interested in finding a box maker for sporadic orders as display boxes. So if you are interested, where are you based? Can you work with paulwina wood or bamboo or at a stretch balsa. Aiming for bamboo or paulwina for sustainable reasons. Rough size on all boxes will be 8"x8"x7"H I would love two faces to be removable if possible, the top, and one front facing edge so that my product can be slid out onto a surface. The front face could be hinged but I would prefer a slotted system if you can design one. Ideally I will probably have more us customers than European or uk etc, so for me it would be perfect to send my product to you for you to send on so I can use you as my gift wrapper almost. In a perfect world you would also custom cut some foam inserts to pad my sculptures. The reason I would need two open faces is because my sculptures are heavy and require deep access two hand grips to remove.

Stodoys scripts contain most of the woodworking plans you can find.

[@alexventuree8100]

The wood is oak?

[@JDCDDesgins]

it is!

[@zanetastefancova1819]

A do spodnej polovice na vrchnák vyrezať obdĺžnikové otvory aby bolo vidieť aké sú to fľaše

[@cravensboughner2425]

It's that simple, just go to the Stodoys website and enter the world of woodworkers.

[@shannanschisler8485]

There are many similar projects in Woodglut's plans.

[@jaromejacksan6934]

I did something like this a month ago with plans from Woodglut.

[@xisotopex]

I see I am not the only one to accidentally hit the fence with the table saw blade.... :(

[@shantahsieh432]

I did it with Stodoys.

[@tomekapompey563]

I did it with the Stodoys plans.
