I'm just going to chime in and say I bought the plans for your fence a couple years ago, and it's one of the better investments I've made. I've built it twice. I had to build it a second time after I lost the first one in a house fire. Keep in mind, I'm not even that good at wood working - I keep at it, but I'm nowhere near at your level. Still, it's more functional than the fence that came with my saw, which is incidentally a DeWalt, so that's kind of saying something. Just a quick testimony to how easy the plans are to follow and how good the end result turns out for anybody who might be on the fence (pun intended...groan if you wish) about buying any of your plans. They're more than worth the price.

John, I inherited a sharpening stone from my late father in law 20 years ago. That is an exact replica of his box! He was an uneducated finish carpenter that I would match up with anyone anywhere! His formal education was in a wood shop, not a university! If he were alive today he would love the KZbin channels out there, and would critique them as well!

[@donvanco3078]

And you could rubber cement a piece of leather to the top/bottom for a strop! Nice little project.

[@JohnHeisz]

Good idea :)

[@greglamphier4430]

I’ve been trying to figure out the best way to build something like this for the last couple days.. did a little digging online and of course you’ve got a build video on it. Crazy the content you’ve pumped out over the last decade.. I’ve been watching almost the whole time, hope you know how much it’s appreciated! Keep them coming!

[@Lucco62]

Very nice as always John, just inspired me to do boxes for my sharpening stones when I have my shop set up.

[@RichGrimshaw]

What a pleasure to see how an experienced craftsman does a simple, useful project. Thanks for sharing, John.

[@francisyergeau6703]

Great Sunday project! Great job again John.

[@chevy6299]

It's amazing how something so simple can become so appealing.

[@slugore]

Sundays with John. Nice.

[@jcknives4162]

Very nice. My dad made one like this but in the top he put a solid piece of walnut and then he engraved the first letter of our last name. Very cool.

[@daifeichu]

That is a great fit for that stone. Well done.

[@bobt2522]

I really like the tip for improving the fit between the box and lid.

[@barrynorman3906]

As an experienced skilled maker you make it look so easy. When I try, it never comes out that way. More practise I hear you say !! Great video, well presented. Thank you for all of the effort you put in, it is very much appreciated.

[@kozmo239]

Nice little project, the box turned out great

[@brw3079]

Now you're just showing off! (I'm jealous of what you can do with a 2x4)!

[@johnsmith-fz3qk]

wonderfu! made it look super easy. bravo sir.

[@sachae321]

Very nice. My dad made a similar style one for an oil stone but added four nails through the base just poking out so he could throw it on the bench and it wouldn’t slide around.

[@rjtumble]

I love the sandpaper trick with the lids, thanks.

[@sapelesteve]

Nicely done John & I'm glad to see that you are finally getting your stones in order! :)

[@paulmunro3050]

Nice craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing.

[@raywarner7184]

I have some of that masking tape. Aldi stock it here occasionally in Melbourne Australia. Buy it in assorted rolls in packs and is as cheap as chips. Good for masking clamps for glue ups and sticking to the bench and mixing Araldite on. Great box I will make this for my stones. Thank you.

[@TetraCNC]

Love the trick with the tape for the miters.

[@jeremyspecce]

Those are some beautiful miters for such a soft wood off a miter saw.

[@JimDockrellWatertone]

Boxes are always a nice project. Particularly when you have a specific use for it. This one came out nice.

[@sup3rbird]

Nice job on both the box and the video.

[@stephenrees438]

You do good work John. I enjoy your videos and thanks for you contribution.

[@92RADLO]

Nice work John!

[@garydelder]

Nice job John

[@davidharris3963]

When I made mine I used a solid piece of wood , an off cut of oak , at the end of the oil stone I put three eighths wedges end grain up , this helped keep stone flat

[@datadev1]

Oh huh, couldn't find the the blue tape could you John? But you did find that old roll of brittle masking tape you never threw away. hehe

[@Ray_Sellner]

Nicely done.

[@johnzzhu]

I gotta say JH, I like the way you edit. I've made the switch to diamond stones and they are awesome, and I also coat my holder with thick layers of shellac, and I usually don't bother wiping the excess water off, and it's held up well. Although I do want to tinker with oil stones, at least a bit.

[@JohnHeisz]

Thanks! I think it could be all the practice I've had doing it :D I've only ever used oil stones, other than a really fine diamond stone I bought to see if it made a discernible difference when sharpening a chisel (I didn't see enough to justify the extra work). Oil stones match my practical approach - they don't cost a lot, work exceptionally well and last forever. Downside is the mess from the oil.

[@jf6823]

Another work of art! Thanks John!

[@YogiSip]

Nice video John.

[@tdaddy1972]

Thanks John

[@AZdroptop]

Your videos are strangely relaxing. :) Awesome as usual. Cheers.

[@tomsdreamshopworx]

Nice clean lines, simple but elegant! Well done!

[@MrMarkpeggy]

Thanks for the great video and project John. Happy Sunday!

[@mfwoodshop]

Nice one John

[@JohnHeisz]

Thanks Mike!

[@vulcanville]

That was great John, a new technique for me to see. Well done, thanks.

[@edagener3164]

Thanks, man! That was pretty cool, and can be used for a variety of ideas.

[@The_man_himself_67]

Made to look ridiculously easy. Surely even I can make that, can't I?

[@omnomnom2110]

"its pretty good" -Makes a perfect fit box

[@TheGrantAlexander]

That turned out awesome!

[@hassanal-mosawi6049]

Thanks for showing how and sharing that, well done

[@rootvalue]

Looks great, John!

[@handiman5001]

thanks for the idea John.

[@muderabbas2517]

it's vary good work

[@solidus784]

Simple thing but you made a great job of it, looks really well.

[@imakexyz4968]

Nice small project! I like how the top and bottom parts just slide into the frame.

[@63256325N]

Nicely done. Thanks.

[@benitoruiz1615]

Excelentes trabajos. Me gusta ver como trabaja. Siga haciéndolo y explicándoles. Agradecería mucho ver trabajos de alhajeros, y relojeros...Saludos desde San Luis Río Colorado, Sonora. Mexico...

[@eketelon]

Microwave the masking tape for a several seconds to bring the glue back to life. I have some ancient masking tape as well. LOL

[@benzmansl65amg]

Awesome John!

[@martinoamello3017]

The beauty of getting old John. A lot of what we own probably doesn't even exist in today's world so a few youngins might wonder where one buys plain old masking tape without color..

[@lenselinkberinge]

Are you ever going to finish the tablesaw? The mechanism for the motor was very nice

[@brainfornothing]

Beautiful and useful ! Thanks for sharing !

[@hichamsahnoune8056]

I do not understand your language but I love the content of your channel

He speaks Canadian, it is a version of English but slightly plainer.

[@hichamsahnoune8056]

@@KipdoesStuff I've seen what you're doing .... nice and good luck

[@edwardl.2646]

cool box never thought of making a box that way cool video

[@billqqq]

In a follow-up video, John turns the box into a jewlry box for his wife, wraps the stone into a cloth, and says in a following video he will be making a not-so-nice box for his sharpening stone.

[@rebbel67]

I thought John was happily unmarried.

[@Aprendiz-de-Marceneiro]

That is a great fit for that stone.

[@rafvdp6391]

Very nice video as always, also the build article is very pleasant to read and makes me want to build a couple of boxes right now. My box is a very small orange crate with a rag. The stones probably deserve better 😁

[@donbeagle5288]

Nice looking box, I think I need to make a few for my stones.

[@mcmoozack]

Wholesome content.

[@francoisfouche2568]

I like !! Thanks J !

[@sneekswallart]

Hi John thanks for another great video to follow but it's a different job when I try this in my shop lol still fun making stuff ....thanks man

[@VROne111]

Neatly done

[@franktaccetta784]

Nice job! I should try that.

[@jgriff19861947]

Very nice work great fit

[@StanFerris]

Nice, John!

[@FritsvanDoorn]

Simple, jet great!

[@ShiftyTipsChannel]

Great job!

[@cornflake73]

Great build, good practice for other projects.

[@MrMarsBlades]

neat and tidy once again, thanks john

[@craigsudman4556]

Real nice box, John, makes me want to go out and attempt to replicate it and fail impressively. I thought you might finish it with linseed oil as you mentioned that the stone would be saturated in oil.

[@mildyproductive9726]

LOL for truth. He makes it looks too easy, and his $1.00 box looks better'n anything I made. I also like the linseed idea. I love the linseed oil for shop projects. As long as the wood is smooth, which you can refinish once every few years, scrubbing with steel wool to remove any nap and wiping a new coat, any mishmash of stains is fine as long as the basic color is dark enough. Years of linseed oil and sun will darken the wood, sufficiently, or you could stain it, first. OTOH, unstained plywood coated in poly... not gonna be good when the poly fails in spots. It'll look like shit stains on a porcelain toilet.

[@NEEVAnurag]

Thanks. Will certainly come in handy for my sharpening stone. Why did you not use your band clamp for clamping the box sides together?

[@WillowDailyShorts]

Beautiful

[@JW77]

You just make everything seem so easy. What do you do with the brush after you're done with poly?

[@ainajoan1]

Excelente video , que marca de sierra de mesa tienes

[@PapaGleb]

Great little box. I have been thinking of making one for my stones as well. I watched the video without sound, does anyone know what finish was applied? looks like water based poly. Thx

[@renesilveira7196]

Excelente! Thank you for sharing it!!!

[@befmx31]

I like it!

[@jeremyspecce]

I know people always worry about your hands being so close to the blade but all I could think about was splinters! I always get splinters when I work with cedar.

[@donjohnson24]

Nice work and video - as usual. As the stone is double-sided, could the box be marked appropriately so that the box can be put on the bench right-side-up or upside-down, to get the required exposed grit ? This would save getting oily fingers turning the stone over (but might it need a little adjustment of the dimensions?).

[@guillermosolanorosa1805]

nice job!

[@ianknobben7081]

Epic!!!! Love ya work

[@alinutzalin6346]

Close to anything home made is much cheaper than in the market.

The cutting isn't that important to me, but OMG what a fantastic job catching them.

Looks like you might need a new stone for the box!
