How to Make a Bandsaw Box In a New Creative Way | Easy Woodworking Project

[@pearlandGUITARIST]

Several years ago, when you were less sober, your bandsaw box videos changed my life. True story.

[@pearlandGUITARIST]

@@toolchuck Yep, those videos got me started in woodworking.

[@lindachandler5980]

Loved your video. The box is beautiful and unique. I want to especially thank you for not having background banging, loud soundtrack that I find so distracting. You are perfect!

[@MikeKuzM80]

I sure do love Bender of The Minions.

[@Pickswitch]

I died at the needle part 😂😂

[@mikechadwick2785]

Soon as he put the glue on the spoon. "Where is this going....?" I shortly died after so i wan't able to finish this com

[@mathaeis]

I just want to say I'm really thankful for your content and I'm looking forward to hopefully picking up a bandsaw and making my first box soon!

[@dillonvincent9540]

David, I was not surprised by the cord around the arm gag but I loved it.

[@geraldbrooks2763]

And I just found a stack of bandsaw box blanks I glued up back when your book came out. Guess I should use them up.

[@anthonymartinez5144]

I got my signed copy of the Kitchen Tools book earlier this week and it's awesome, a lot of great projects. Honestly, having a signed copy from one of my favorite youtubers, it's also a prized possession of mine in the shop

[@MakeSomething]

Oh man, thank you Anthony!

[@alexclark6777]

Your videos are as much a work of art as the pieces you build in them.

[@MakeSomething]

This means everything to me! Thank you!

[@upnorthoffcuts929]

Just ordered your book earlier today and just saw this video after. Had I seen the video first with the glue on a spoon, the needle and the tourniquet I would've bought two books. Great video David, please keep them coming. Thanks.

[@MakeSomething]

hahaha! Thanks!

[@thesplinteredfinger]

David, that is probably the nicest band saw box I have ever seen!

[@foos.998]

Okay, I laughed out loud and startled my husband at the needle/tourniquet part.

[@joefaraone977]

You are not alone!

[@badmandansanchez1823]

I'm still laughing

[@jaymart2351]

Lol, I laughed so hard also

[@russelleaston1832]

Gorgeous!! Thanks for having us along in your ongoing experiments!

[@robertthomas6544]

What a great video. Full of helpful hints and a new way to make a BSB. This is my first visit to your and am proud to meet the author of the bandsaw book I purchased a few weeks ago.

[@dgoddard]

Funniest video yet! I lost it when you were wrapping up your arm with the cord. And your editor is hilarious! Oh... nice box, too.

[@timtoggs]

Loved all the tips on bandsaw in this one - have the same bandsaw so it was super helpful. Just ordered that blade too - thanks!

[@MakeSomething]

Thanks! That blade is a good one.

[@johnr8289]

That is a nice piece. I think the base adds a lot to the piece. Stay safe. John

[@Scott-RoyalExplainer]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that texture on the walnut! Can't wait to try that technique.

[@ryderscustomcreations3665]

I recently got your bandsaw box book and made my first box! Your box joint jig got me into woodworking, and this book has got me into another part of this hobby! Thanks bro!

[@MakeSomething]

That’s awesome!! Thank you!!

[@rogeranderson8763]

If ya put some blue painters tape on the stock before gluing the pattern down, it comes off nice and clean.

[@dennisomalley7843]

Just got my kitchen tools and bandsaw box book the other day. Love it. I’ve been looking for something like it for a while. Thanks.

[@MakeSomething]

Right on, thank you!

[@bryanhernley9572]

Love the box and love the mural David!!

[@angelaburt3266]

What a stunning project. I have workshop envy. You have a fab talent!

[@beauxtx1959]

In my opinion, this is your best design ever. TIP: Use a wooden hand screw clamp on the end of the oval pieces, and place the clamp flat on the bandsaw table, when cutting off the front and back and the wood won't be drawn down harshly as you cut them. I use this technique when making Christmas ornaments from slices of tree branches. Keep up the great work!

[@BronkBuilt]

I really dig that box. I've not seen one like that before and really, really like it.

[@mikec4509]

I am one of the ones who communicated an issue with tracking on the 10-306 in December 2019. They now have a new version, the 10-3061. From what I surmised from reading various posts on the net, the 10-305 has crowned wheels and the 10-306 has flat wheels, which interfered with the tracking of the thinner blades. I hope the 10-3061 has addressed this issue. I gave up and bought another Laguna 14 Twelve (I now have two. I hate switching blades). At least I had a good excuse!

[@MakeSomething]

ahhh, thanks Mike!

[@benhunkins7625]

Wow. 👏👏👏 This has got to be my favorite Make Something video. I was cracking up so hard my wife came over to watch. At about halfway I was thinking to myself "This is a piece of art. I hope I can own one of his pieces someday." And then you put it up for auction as a piece of art. Well done David. Well. Done.

[@MakeSomething]

Thank you Ben! Appreciate it!

[@redjon4233]

That is simply awesome nice one my man 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❗️😁

[@BikerDaddy402]

I have a 65 year old Craftsman bandsaw, but when my son was looking for one I recommended Rikon, and he bought the same model you have. He loves it.

[@naturaIIydifferent]

Your blade advice changed my life. Thanks bro!

[@MakeSomething]

[@joelcopeland3018]

This is an true work of art... Beautiful box... The base really makes it a finished piece for me... Great work.

[@AndrewAyton]

Love how you cut the explanations off to cut to the action. Great editing!

[@jondunsmore2121]

I like how that is a variation of the Chicago style box from your bandsaw book (proud owner) with the drawers. Awesome box thanks for sharing as always.

[@patriotwoodworker6092]

the is probably my favorite box you've made. the texture is awesome, i never would've thought of that. i totally agree, the base makes the look complete.

[@Not_TVs_Frank]

I just made my first bandsaw box this week based on one of your designs. It's an Omaha, but it's just 2 inches tall. My wife loved it!

[@benjboyle]

The knot in the front of the base looks great.

[@jcmakes5977]

Looks awesome! Yes the box and the mural!

[@buffalojones341]

Good video. Not stressy like some of the old stuff. You gon hit a million Dave!

[@JolienBrebels]

Cool bandsaw box!

[@brianfinnigan2269]

Great flocking video. Loved the evolution of the design as you worked through the project. "It's my box and I'll flock when I want to" (Sung to the tune of It's my party.) This seems to be my go to comment song. Call back to your Walnut and pvc pipe chair video. Keep the art coming!

[@peternewman9713]

The base is good!

[@reforzar]

Absolutely beautiful.

[@MakeSomething]

Thanks Brian!

[@SkullyWoodMetal]

Great design and good idea with carving the fronts of each box.

[@PeachTreeCrafting]

As usual a fantastic vid. I like how you had a plan, but also sort of made it up as you went along. Love it!!

[@billdiehl156]

Love, love, love this project! It’s awesome how you experiment while you work, and adding the texture to the front of the drawers was inspired! THIS is why you continue to inspire me and push me to experiment with techniques that I may not feel comfortable with at first! And for that, I thank you!! UPDATE: I’m walking! Still going to physical therapy twice a week, but I’m walking on two legs!

[@carlthorpe4059]

Beautiful work, for me the base really made it!

[@robmills4709]

Nice, good flocking action. Glad your bandsaw sounds like my Record bandsaw- squeals. Cheers David.

[@CastleChad]

Thanks for blade advice just bought an olson one and a timberwolf one only tried olson so far only because it came first..

[@shanejohnson800]

Great video I watch all your this was was right up my alley and I’m glad to know your bandsaw makes a shrieking sound also lol

[@MyNameIsYefff]

Just ordered the bandsaw box book! Can’t wait!

[@misterandrews]

Great video! I’d been wondering what a bandsaw box was, to be honest! Now I’m keen to give one a go.

[@disCrib8]

I love it! Solid techniques and artistic freedom is what makes your channel youkneek. 😎🤘🏽

[@laidenc]

Your bandsaw boxes could certainly be an everyday use. Yes they are art and stunning pieces but I also believe they can be functional too. I would love something like this on my bedside to store the little things that don't really have a spot like my rings, keys and earbuds at the end of each day :) Thanks for the inspiration, knowledge, entertainment and laughter your videos always provide!

[@kenbeattie1958]

Good morning from Southern Cal, where it is NOT colder than a politicians heart. David - suggest that you make a little sled thingy for better control of the drawers when slicing in the bandsaw. Just a little square of thinnish plywood with two cauls fastened close enough together to support the front and back of the drawer to keep it from hysterically jumping when you cut. Don't be Stumpy.

[@rodpotts2666]

OH ya I like the base! Great show as always.

[@JMarcusPedroza]

Came to the comments to see if anyone noticed the tourniquet at 11:09!!😂 had me laughing out loud. Nicely done!

[@CrixJoki]

This IS art, and oh my what a stunning piece it is! 💜 this one deserves its own place, just like a painting :) I love that you added the stand for it, it felt much more complete, and the design on the drawer fronts and the stand 💜💜💜

[@AlekseyLeontev]

Wonderful work. A very fascinating sight.

[@txkent]

Yay!!! NEW VIDEO FROM DAVID!!

[@BigFarles]

Thank you for this video. I needed it.

[@soyythomas]

Its a piece of art. ❤️ loved it.

[@quixoticjedi942]

If you use your off cuts as a cradle it would ease the grabbing when you cut the backs and fronts off.

[@marvelousmarvin2]

Bandsaw boxes make great candy holders...small size candy at least 🍬🍬

[@matthewschmidt2002]

Maybe the funniest thing I have seen on youtube. I was thinking,"It looks like he is shooting up." Then the flash visual of you with the tube around your arm and tightening with your mouth! Not that I find drug use funny, but that cracked me up!! Thanks for the laugh

[@subseeker]

Looks phenomenal 👌

[@johnkeane7901]

Cool Video you looked like you were having fun.

[@dandavis5832]

Great job Dave! I can't wait to check out the new book.

[@davebauerart]

Love the texture!

[@darrenhundt]

that's really beautiful

[@sapelesteve]

Very nicely done David! Having made a few bandsaw boxes I can appreciate how nice that turned out. I also appreciate how you fix mistakes just like the rest of us have to do. The arm & the needle clip was hilarious! Thanks, I needed a good laugh today! 👍👍😂😂😉😉

[@JamesKautz]

"You can never have enough woodworkers telling you you can never have enough clamps" - I genuinely laughed out loud at that!

[@jgriff19861947]

Great looking box i have tried before and gave up this makes me want to try again nice work

[@MakeSomething]

Try again, they again!

[@MakersMovementDIY]

That was a great project, thanks for sharing that with us.

[@CheveeDodd]

So, I looked away right when you said that you were going to bring your little bandsaw to the workbench... the line right after "I"m going to use a little bit of spray adhesive to attach this" ... I was hoping I'd look back and you were using spray adhesive to attach the bandsaw to your bench. :-D

[@rikroberts]

Very nice.

[@shawnhagen284]

The base really did finish it off.

[@markdmaker3173]

Nice one, good job

[@inztramental]

Holy hell David you’re hilarious sometimes 😂 11:08

[@COOPmade]

awesome looking bandsaw box! I bought the Rikon 10-306 (I think) based on David’s recommendation of his 10-305 a number of years ago. It is a great small bandsaw and perfect for beginners. I also have had no problems tracking my blade in all the times I’ve changed blades.

[@flix4u]

Nice box u got

[@rolandothompson3088]

thank you bro lucking really nice.

[@MCsCreations]

Pretty beautiful work, Dave!!! It looks amazing! 😃 Whisk as finish, hum? Interesting... 🤔 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@EthanCarterDesigns]

Absolutely beautiful box and I really like the texture you added - I really thought the Dremel noise was going to be the start to a music video montage! I picked up the Rikon bandsaw after one of your shop tour videos and I couldn't be happier with it. I do need to pick up that blade though! Great video as always!

[@sharoncraig4231]

Love the Jim Bean as a finish! LOL

[@bradmcnamar5679]

Yet another great video. I bought your bandsaw box book as well and it really is a very good read, especially for beginners like myself. The only problem I have been having is to make a smooth cut for the actual drawers. I think it will just take a lot more practice with cheap wood before I move on to decent wood. Keep the videos coming; you are teaching me a lot!!

[@sgsax]

I think this box looks pretty sweet. I've got a thing for boxes, especially those that have an out-of-the-box design. I bought the 10-305 a couple of years ago on your recommendation to replace my 10+ year old Delta which I hated. I bought it from the Big Green box store on a rebate week, so I got a great price for it. I have had no problems with it, it's a joy to use. I'm still using the original stock blade, though. I really need to try the one you suggest. Once you got the spoon out, I knew exactly where it was going. I was not disappointed. 😄 Thanks for another fun video and project!

[@JonathanRansom]

That mural...🔥🔥🔥

[@CopiWood]

Wow that came out awesome. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍

[@allynhansen7398]

Ha!,......The drawer finish looks like a Griffins Chocolate Wheaten biscuit we have down here!😄😄😄,.... Regards, Allyn ( Alpal ) Hansen New Zealand ( Burtland if you ride an Indian! ) PS I like your vid,.....

[@nklenke]

magnets could be added to corners of the base and the bottom of the box where you could easily attach them yet leave the ability to change the orientation of the base.

[@Studio69Fan]

Yes. And as an added feature he could make a hidden drawer in the base...?

[@colinhalkyard2898]

congrats it is art.

[@jasonkarels6202]

Great. Now I can't show this in class, because of 11:09. Now I am actually going to have to work today. Just great. (Seriously, I fell out of my chair from laughing so hard!)

[@MakeSomething]

Haha! Sorry! The next one will be clean. 😊

[@jasonkarels6202]

@@MakeSomething the kids would love it! Principal? Not as much......

[@jeffreyc3249]

Cooking up with the spoon.... then the Syringe 😂😂 . Too funny

[@brycehotchkiss]

“You can never have enough woodworkers telling you you can never have enough clamps...” 😂💯

[@kreparAZ]

Could be a good shirt idea 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@jlarts]

I like the knot hole on the base it looks like the entrance to some kind of miniature tower or villain lair or something ;)

[@JackmanWorks]

Why does the front of those drawers look like meat to me? I'm concerned for myself.

[@MakeSomething]

I also have concerns.

[@Diamond_Hammer]

From the thumbnail I thought it looked like salami .. Damn, now I'm hungry.

I'm not concerned, but I'm definitely hungry. 😬
