this woman gives off like an energetic bob ross vibe. Ive been wanting to get back into wood working. i havent done it since high school. I love the content of your videos!

[@woodworkingandepoxy643]

Did you get back into woodworking?

[@Bkpilot]

After countless woodworking videos, I stumbled onto this video and it is the first one that my wife also enjoyed. After watching she even expressed interest in learning woodworking (wow!) and setting up a shop. THANK YOU. The boxes are both beautiful! Great technique, design and engaging video.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

That’s awesome to hear! Hope she gets into it! It’s so fun.

[@mattfairfield9103]

Does that mean she’s giving you a green light to build yourself a shop? ;) haha

[@Bkpilot]

Matt Fairfield Yes, but it’s a trap to get us to buy a larger house.

[@mattfairfield9103]

Adam Kaplan hahaha ohhhh, well maybe the garage you have now isn’t so bad after all... 😂

[@danielbstone87]

Gotta rush home and show my wife this video!

[@ohkeydokeythen]

I love seeing other women do woodworking, it's very encouraging.

My battle with esophagus cancer was put in perspective each time I walked the halls of Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. These brave warriors battle this terrible disease every minute with courage unmatched. Tears shed for our fallen warriors. God bless our caregivers and warriors. Thank you for your support. ❤️ Keep the faith and kick cancers ass.

[@stephengoh5456]

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks ☺️

[@athikerpickle]

I followed your link to BOC. Who's cutting onions in here? Something's in my eye. My allergies are kicking up. Seriously, thank you for sharing this.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Yeah. Now you see why I couldn’t say no.

[@oliverreedslovechild]

I followed the same link, no chopped onions but, all of a sudden it got very dusty in here, Love the look of those boxes too. Subbed.

[@Veemack21]

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much! Yeah. It was a lot of info to fit in...

[@DjmMik]

Those boxes came out beautifully! Great job!!

[@jonjames2329]

Love the genuine joy and happiness you express and such beautiful pieces - the clunk as the lid goes on the box is a total winner - and I love the speedy style of delivery - getting your thought processes as you work through is really insightful and inspirational - I guess that the offcuts being stored for some time there'll be little differential change in size of the pieces over time - my favourite series of how-to so far!!! Thanks!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

So glad you like it. Thanks!

[@stuartwass6672]

I love these boxes, your film has inspired me to play around more with angles pieces and stuff x Thanks Stu

Thanks so much! It’s so satisfying to make us if stuff that was just lying around. Good luck!

[@jimpike3489]

Hi Tamar, great boxes for a great charity. I loved the chevron pattern and the different species of wood are stunning. From off cuts and scraps to beautiful boxes. Your enthusiasm really comes across in your video's. Thanks for sharing

[@3x3CustomTamar]

So glad you like them. Thanks!

[@chemcody5119]

Wow! Nicely done. So much to think about when laying everything out. You did a great job Tamar!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much! You think boxes are simple but there’s a lot of work that goes into them!

[@SkipThorp]

Those are really great. Scrap wood projects are some of my favorite.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much! Same. So fun to use it up

[@TimeTravelingBirds]

This made me really appreciate the craftsmanship behind these boxes. I came here hoping to learn to make a patterned box and have now realized my skills pale in comparison! Absolutely beautiful work.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Haha! Don’t say that. Give it a go! Thanks!

[@twoweary]

You are a talented lady , and I agree , the inlay adds a touch of class to the box .

The boxes are absolutely beautiful......just as your heart is for making them for such a worthy cause! I always learn something from your videos and your narration is great as well. Keep up the great work and best wishes to you!!!

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Thanks so much! After watching the video I just couldn’t say no... that’s so much for the feedback on the narration I struggle with it! Ha

[@DawgsChamp88]

Absolutely gorgeous boxes and made for a great cause. I was so mesmerized with how these turned out. Love that inlay you did. Such great contrast. Loving all those wood colors. Especially when the oil brought them to life. Wow!!! You amaze me with each video you share. Thanks again as always for sharing your knowledge and keep up the great work. I love your editing skills. Wish everyone on KZbin understood when to speed up the video and explaining things to the point and not carrying on and on. I can watch your videos over and over and over again. It would take me years to get around to attempting something like this, but I want to one day. You are such a blessing. Thank you.

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Really so awesome to hear! Appreciate the feedback! Thanks!!

I am truly envious of your innovative and creative methods in not only your designs but also with your mechanics and jigs you develop to achieve your design goals. Please keep sharing your wonderful projects.

Those came out great Tamar! And I agree that the little boarder detail on the top takes it up a notch! Nice to see other makers are caught up in the pattern making bug...

What a great great use (and validation) of scrap wood. It's for a great cause, great colors, great creativity and you make the BEST use of your jigs. I'm interested in how you store all these, but I'm really impressed how you show their practical use. Thanks for the video.
