My wife suggest that I make a Bread bin to compliment the Chopping Boards on our Website, so I decide to make a Tambour lid Bread Bin, as I think they are much more attractive.
The challenge is to come up with a process that is as efficient as possible so I can make the Bread Bin and make a small profit.
I think I've achieved just that, let me know what you think.

[@PerrynBecky]

I purchased your PDF file, and as soon as I finish my other wood projects, I plan to get right on this project. I'm quite happy to buy the plans for such a well thought out and beautiful bread box.

[@GTWoodshop]

Hi Parry, thank you. I hope you enjoy making it. 👍👍

[@skydive701]

Beautiful design and I love your video on it. I’ve downloaded the plans and will be making my own. Thank you so much!

[@lendevonuk5479]

We done Graham, another good idea for a project, and a very well produced video! Looking forward to your next Len (Devon 🇬🇧)

[@GTWoodshop]

Thanks Len. 👍

[@singhivan]

Wow, absolutely amazing build. It turned out amazing. I really enjoyed the process. I may just purchase your plans to start making this. Many thanks. From South Africa.

[@GTWoodshop]

Thank you kind sir. 😁👍

[@steveparkes1266]

Absolutely great vlog really enjoyed it. Great you put the measurements in the vlog but if I do have a go at building one I will defiantly buy the plans. Thanks for sharing great channel 👍

[@GTWoodshop]

Thanks Steve. 👍

Great job Graham, nice design, good skills and technique.

Thanks Rob 👍

[@markjarman7819]

Awesome work. Great channel and how can anyone not enjoy this 😊

[@GTWoodshop]

Thanks Mark. 👍

[@extremewoodworker]

Well executed Graham. It is interesting that items fall in to and out of favor (or is it favour?) over time. I made about 5 similar bread boxes over 40 years ago with admittedly pretty crappy tools (Shopsmith Mark V and Craftsman hand held power tools) and very little experience. My recollection is that it was a real pain as my jigs were not nearly as refined as yours and I had difficulty with the smoothness of the tambour operation. On a good note, at least 3 of the bread boxes are still being used today (including one in my kitchen). The other 2 were gifts to grandparents that have long since passed and I don't know what happened to those boxes. Steve

[@GTWoodshop]

Hi Steve, thank you. One of those timeless Woodworker projects I think but 40yrs Mmm not sure I'll still be around. 🤞

[@thomazneto58]

Fantastic vídeo. Good job. Congratulations.🇧🇷

[@mbmurphy777]

Nice job, great jigs.

[@GTWoodshop]

Thanks 👍

[@GrahamWhelan]

Awesome. Loved the process!

[@GTWoodshop]

Thanks Graham. 👍

[@rossjohnson7217]

I was wondering if you could supply a cut list for the final pieces on the bread box? What are the final dimensions for the pieces? Thank you in advance

[@GTWoodshop]

Hi Ross, I actually sell the complete plans on my ETSY site, to help support my antics in the workshop. Thanks in advance. links in the description. 👍

[@wilsmith6578]

I love your bread box. As a matter of fact I purchased your plans for it to make them as gifts and such. HOWEVER, I have a question. In the video you mentioned that you used "Utility" timber for the dark sides and Ash for the contrast. I would normally use something like Walnut for the dark, but I really love the look of that lumber in the video. Can you please tell me what "Utility timber is - or at least the name of the wood that you used in your video. Thank you

[@GTWoodshop]

Hi Wil, thank you. Utile (used in the video ) is very similar to Meranti or Sapele, either one would look lovely in my opinion, as would Walnut, of course. 👍👍

[@gwbell5867]

Nice work! I would be interested in purchasing your plans, once they are posted.

[@GTWoodshop]

Thanks GW, They will be ready in the next couple of days, I pin the link at the top of the comments. 👍

[@simonedanniballe6454]

Great💪🏼

[@eddablin]

What are the dimensions of the assembled bread bin?

[@nikkograham]

anyone in canada know where someone can find a 17mm router bushing? even 11/16 thanks

[@adamosantonio1499]

so the ash slips are 7mill thick but the grove is 6mill 🤔

[@GTWoodshop]

Hi Adam, the grove is 9mm.

[@adamosantonio1499]

@@GTWoodshop ok, thanks, my bad. any way, beautyfull job☝️💯💯

[@craigstephen5700]

Hi Graham. Another great video. Is your 3D printed items for the circle cutting jig on your etsy. Thanks.

[@GTWoodshop]

Hi Craig, thank you and yes links are in the Description of the Video. 👍 I'll pop a link to the page on the channel info page as well.

[@johnhassan2074]

Fantastic step by step. I just bought plans, live in Canada where we have metric but not so much for woodworking. Any tips on converting measurements to imperial or should I try to follow in metric? I volunteer making woodworking projects for people with ABI (acquired brain injuries) so the templates are excellent as we will be making a few Cheers

[@GTWoodshop]

Hi John, I tend to use both systems, imperial for larger and metric for smaller. If you're at the 'convert / change over wall' then I would do the same, go no smaller than 1 inch in imperial as its a straight forward conversion and then just get accustomed to the system. Far more straight forward for ABI sufferers. 👍👍

[@johnhassan2074]

Hello again Thanks for the reply. I'm going to try metric. Between the video and plans should be ok. I will spend my time figuring out what parts I need to do in my homework shop with the power tools, and what steps the members with the ABI can do at their center. Somewhat like IKEA, and

[@johnhassan2074]

Hello again. One final question to help me cut the templates. I'm doing in metric but have a 5/8 O.D. Guide bushing roughly 16 mm. Does this impact the 21and 22 mm cuts on page 10 of the instructions? I've adjusted the 17 to 16 mm on template Thanks for your help John

[@GTWoodshop]

@@johnhassan2074 Hi John, sorry for the delay in responding. Page 10 is cutting the template piece for the panel rebates, so as long as your router bit is sized to match the panel thickness you should be fine, just be mindful of the amount of material left at the edge of the side panel. 👍

[@johnhassan2074]

Got it. Thanks. Great help I will send you a photo once done.

[@paulharrison3651]

Just curious, what is the thickness of your side pieces? Looks about 3/4” or approximately 19 m (sorry I’m in the US) 😂. Also, what type of glue specifically did you use for the tambour?

[@GTWoodshop]

Hi Paul, yes they are 18mm thick.

[@esixx17]

Etsy says on a break. Going to be available again soon?

[@GTWoodshop]

HI, just retuned and turned everything back on. 👍

[@pocolocoblues]

How much in US dollars please. Do you have the measurements in inches?

[@GTWoodshop]

I think the proce you charge has to be appropriate for the market your in, unfortunately I only work in mm. 👍
