How to make Simple MDF boxes

[@manodetigre]

Straight to the point, loved it, thanks!

[@rinofriio97]

Good of you to show proper rabeting and notching. Its one of the best ways. Thanks

[@finchcraftuk266]

Hi Rino Yeah it’s definitely the strongest way in my opinion Thanks 👍🏻

[@envoycdx]

Cheers, nice, simple and to the point.

[@dmc6807]

Great vid and easy formula to follow.

[@Demon_Pilot_GT]

Really enjoyed your video makes a nice change from an old Codger telling you his way of doing thing bag humbugging all through the video.

[@21thTek]

Nice video, straight to the point, thanks !!

[@johnmcfall2911]

thanks for that buddy i've just bought a table saw and a router ( my first ever! ) and i was wondering what to do with em and stumbled across your video! happy days : ) thanks for sharing

[@MarkBzdel]

Simple and easy to understand thanks. Just wish the volume for the cutting/routing wasn't so loud.

[@finchcraftuk266]

Hi Mark Yes I think that I need to work on my volume control 😬

[@Ajelandrox3]

Thanks man, I was looking for something like this, I'll be doing this on Monday! (When I'm on my University's workshop)

[@notyah2411]

Great video. Thankyou.

[@llessibm]

Thanks - this is exactly what I was looking for

[@finchcraftuk266]

Not a problem Martin Glad I could help 👍🏻

[@carbonitegamorrean8368]

Had the volume all the way up to hear the instructional talking and then to my surprise proceeded to poo'd a bit at 1:30 ...

[@finchcraftuk266]

+Carbonite Gamorrean Haha I'm sorry about this Carbonite Gamorrean, this video was made before I honed my video editing skills 😂

[@MrStringybark]

@@finchcraftuk266 One question. Since you have now honed your Audio skills why didn't you take a copy of this one and redo the audio and use that one. Not hard.

[@hhc8028]

nice job!

[@finchcraftuk266]

Thanks 👍🏻

[@kathyb-007]

Wow. Great vid! I have a mitre saw instead that i'm just learning to use. Can you use that also using that piece of wood you marked the measurements on? Probably not. :(

[@finchcraftuk266]

Hi Not with a mitre saw as it would be pretty dangerous and wouldn't be very accurate, you could cut all of the angles at 45° though and glue them together, that would make a decent box Hope this helps

[@Dro2k6]

Good video, loud warning missing

[@44bgood]

1:50.. how close was your right hand to that blade ?

[@finchcraftuk266]

Close, but not too close 😉

[@BrunoConfortin]

Hope you can answer those: Is it good for storing collectible cards, such as Magic The Gathering / Baseball cards / Pokémon? They are cardboard, so humidity is an important factor so they don't bend. Also, better to keep them raw for that purpouse or paint/seal the MDF? Awesome video, thanks

[@finchcraftuk266]

If I'm honest with you Bruno, I wouldn't like to say, I think that they would be ok but don't quote me on that one, painting them in a gloss might offer more protection maybe,.?

[@BrunoConfortin]

Hey. Yeah, after thinking for a while, I think it'll be better if I paint the box. Not a fact, just a thought: MDF sucks humidity, right? So if the box is opened, it gets humid and I close the lid, it will stay humid and might damage the cards after a while. If it's painted and varnished, that will not happen. I think. Anyways, I don't have all of that fancy equipment. I bought the raw MDF box and will do my best to sand it and paint it. Hope it turns out to be ok. Thanks :D

[@finchcraftuk266]

Not a problem, hope the cards stay in good condition Thanks

[@rodolforossler]

​@@BrunoConfortin I'd suggest you to buy archival boxes, plastic and tissue paper to store safely your magic cards

[@markandrews70]

Have you tried poundland pva

[@finchcraftuk266]

+My Version Hi, I actually have! It's not bad stuff to be honest but it's not as strong as the evo-stick,. I might upload a video testing the different strengths of various brands to see which is the best 👍🏻

[@christophortner6327]

How to do this without a table saw a router table? How many occasional DIYers have those?

[@finchcraftuk266]

Hi, I’m an occasional DIYer, I’ve just made myself a router table from watching other people on KZbin 😂 You can use similar techniques and use glue and tax nails for the boxes, I have found that evo stick and no more nails glue holds MDF extremely well, you can cut the strips of MDF with a panel saw or a circular saw if you have one? Hope this helps 👍🏻

[@finchcraftuk266]

My point? Another way to build the boxes without a router table

[@BoxxerCore]

Are you using just normal PVA Wood glue ? I'm making pigeon pens and was planning on using PVA Wood glue on MDF because I have a lot of it already, but on most videos I see people using the Mitre Fast super glue with the spray activator. Does the PVA Wood glue work just as good with MDF, but just takes longer to set ?

[@finchcraftuk266]

BoxxerCore hello Yes I just use PVA wood glue (evo stick) this is the strongest that I've used so far Also with this style of box joint it should be more than strong enough, especially if you put plenty on

[@BoxxerCore]

Finchcraft Cheers , I'll be sticking with with PVA then. I really didn't want to have to go and buy a lot of that other stuff as it's pretty expensive compared to PVA.

[@phillemery8639]

good video but your health and safety needs a lot of work

[@finchcraftuk266]

+Phill e Haha tell me about it! Maybe I should invest in some gear for future videos 🤔

[@seventwistsclockwise]

Simple?! 😆

[@ianmacrae2749]

Can you sell me a box you're ace at doing them im in Bradford uk if you can

[@finchcraftuk266]

Ian Macrae hello Ian Not a problem at all, you can message me via Instagram or via my Etsy store (both called FinchcraftUK) Thanks for the support 👍🏻

[@ianmacrae2749]

[@wboard9652]

I see other people mentioned it, It's a rebate not a rabbit, or are you from the USA and lost your accent.

[@stgeorge6947]

Who's got a router

[@finchcraftuk266]

Routers can be picked up pretty cheap nowadays, if you don’t have a router then you could use a table saw to get the cut
