How To Resaw Wood To Make a Box with Seamless Grain Wrap // DIY Woodworking

[@standishwoodstory]

What would you use your box to store?

[@blandry021]

Love it, best video explaining the continuous grain pattern, the golden triangle, and I never thought about the width of the wood. Will be making keepsake for new grandchildren.

[@standishwoodstory]

Thank you, and that is some lucky grandchildren getting keepsake boxes, I’m sure they will love them :)

🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 I haven't built a box since highschool but I've been delving back into woodworking slowly and this looks like an amazing project

[@standishwoodstory]

Thanks, glad to hear it caused some inspiration, looking forward to seeing yours when done :)

[@brianlahti7768]

Nice job on the box! The new shop looks to be working well for you.

[@standishwoodstory]

Thank you. Yes I’m feeling more settled in the new shop, it was great to put them into action again and see if my positioning of them actually made sense.

Great to see you again Winnie, been too long! The box turned out great! I made one last year for my Nephew to store his watch. Hope you are well, look forward to seeing more content soon.

[@standishwoodstory]

Thanks Cliff, I’m doing well, how are you? A watch box is a great idea. Perhaps with a glass lid?

[@cliff5240]

@@standishwoodstory Doing well here Winnie! The box I made didn't have a glass lid, although that would have been a great idea. He wanted his name engraved on it so I used my CNC. Looks like you have a similar mower as me.

Nice box!

[@standishwoodstory]

Thank you 😊

The golden ratio exists everywhere in nature so why not in a box design as well. Makes sense!!! I would use the box on my desk to keep my work stuff organized. Thanks for another great video👍

[@standishwoodstory]

Good idea. Staying organized is key, and boxes sure are great for that:)

[@standishwoodstory]

Let me know how it turns out for you :)

[@Belg1970]

A great detailed video. Box looks great. An idea for a future box might be to recess the bottom only hallway in and chamfer the bottom half to create another shadow line. Also I would have rounded over the tops of those small pieces you added on the bottom to make them softer to the touch.

[@standishwoodstory]

Thank you, and great ideas suggested too :)

[@JimE6243]

Simple but beautiful and the maple is a nice accent on the top. Great job! I too, enjoy making boxes. They make great Christmas gifts. You may want to think about someday replacing the original miter gauge on the table saw. It would most likely improve the accuracy of the mitered corners and would add versatility to the miter gauge. Keep up the great content. JimE

[@standishwoodstory]

Thank you appreciate the kind feedback, and a new miter gauge would be great, I’ll take any excuse to upgrade a tool 😉

THANKS FOR THE VIDEO

[@standishwoodstory]

My pleasure. Thanks for watching.

[@darrenharnke7450]

Nice build and video.

[@standishwoodstory]

Thanks I’m glad you enjoyed it

There is something very beautiful about a woman that creates things with her hands.

[@standishwoodstory]

Thank you

For someone who hasn’t been woodworking so long you are, you are very good at explaining (teaching) what you are doing💪🏻 I too have been making boxes this year, I decided not to use wrapping paper when giving gifts and use for smaller items wooden boxes up to 30x40cm. I gift tea, chocolate, wine and such so boxes are appropriate size but I do boxes for Photos, postcards, playing cards, candles etc. my boxes don’t turn out 100 percent perfect but imo they re hand made so no need for the perfection…. Thx for showing, most definitely some tips I could use, glad to see you back and take care of that neck Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

[@standishwoodstory]

I love the idea of making boxes to use as gift wrapping. I may just steal that one :) thanks for watching and your continuous support.

[@jyttejensen2809]

En rigtig fin box❤

[@standishwoodstory]

Tak :)

[@katherynlamarche7308]

did you say you have woodworking for three years? Well done you will go far with your positive approach. Julien

[@standishwoodstory]

Thank you. And yes just about 3 years, with 1.5 of those being mostly full time which has made a huge difference just in the fact that I was able to learn by testing more things out quicker. I love woodworking and to share what I learned. How about yourself?

[@katherynlamarche7308]

I have been woodworking for 50 plus years still love it and love seeing young people do it. I never get tired of learning and getting better. Julien.

[@dcmsr5141]

Simple, yet so complicated, The Box LOL

[@standishwoodstory]

😂 yup indeed

[@johnmccracken6497]

Long time no see! Hello!!!

[@standishwoodstory]

Hello John, how’s it going? :)

[@johnmccracken6497]

@@standishwoodstory #2 daughter is about to start college in a few weeks. Things are exciting around here. I haven't been in the shop much lately. But I'll def try this box too - thanks for that. What's been going on with you?

[@bdkane721]

Thank you for these videos. Like you, I started learning woodworking a few years ago through KZbin and other social media sources. I don't have a wonderful shop like yours and I'm certainly not as skilled as you at this point, but I'm still learning and you're one of the reasons I keep going. Thank you so much!!!

[@standishwoodstory]

My pleasure; that just made my day to hear, thanks for sharing that ❤️

[@larryshrum8388]

How do you make sure the box is square so the bottom fits or do you just rack it after the glue dries to make it fit?

[@standishwoodstory]

I test with a square both before the glue up and after. The racking clap is also great to keep everything aligned. You can also pre cut your lid before the glue up and leave it attached while the glue hardens (just don’t glue the lid;)
