Can you finger joint all sides of a box?

Yep, and it looks cool too, at least if you don't look too close.

carpentry, the profession of making boxes for your tools that you use to make box's.

[@slivertexas]

[@josh3458]

Basically

[@MemphisCorollaS]

But which came first? The box or the box making tool? Surely crafts people from thousands of years ago didn’t just have tools sitting out unboxed or without a tool walls!!???!!?? 😅

[@oldfartpushingashoppingcar5979]

Made one 20 yrs ago for dremel tool and accessories been using it ever since , very strong and has never failed me. Great video!

[@MugRuith]

Good idea. I want to make one for my Dremel now.

[@thedude808]

Most misleading title ever...

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+thedude808 Well, the video is about cutting box joints on all sides of a box. What did you think it would be about?

[@thedude808]

Jeremy Schmidt fingering boxes

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+thedude808 Would you be less perverted if you were a woodworker?

[@thedude808]

Jeremy Schmidt I'm working my wood daily as it is, so I'll guess not.

[@sargantstupid]

oh my god i'm dying

[@workout9594]

Welcome to another episode of 'why is this in my recommended?'

[@iniriza]

but why?

[@chris86simon]

Peter Brown? Tested?

[@50Banana]

the title is strange and this leads alot of people to click on it, then the weird memey bits in the middle get people to watch to the end and possibly watch other videos, youtube now thinks he is jesus christ re-incarnated and spread the word.

[@Kaziedell]

You like wood boxes I guess

[@alexandersalz5850]

made my day same here but im glad found it :D

[@joaoangelodelima6778]

Congratulations on your work, I'm 71 years old, Brazilian and I like to do projects so I'm an amateur and I love woodworking

[@matthiaswandel]

looks decent enough on video. Impressive that it went together, and with plywood, box joints on all edges actually makes some sense. But you could have just made a deeper drawer for your workbench, but that wouldn't have made for much of a video.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+Matthias Wandel Yeah I think it's not too impractical, except that it takes quite a lot of work. It doesn't fit in the drawers because the drawers are too short (front to back) when the gauge is laying down. Which means I would pretty much have to completely remove the drawer to access the tool.

[@saleemalkinani3496]

Matthias Wandel I have been waiting your video for ages! where are you?

[@marianeitor]

Jeremy, or you could build a new concrete bench, lol!!! I really like your videos, one per week, please!!! Greatings from Argentina...

[@gerhardkrause8846]

Matthias Wandel and the other is not the same as your grandmother

[@seanconor1]

Lol this is the first of Jeremy's videos I've watched (I'm sure I'll watch more and more) and the whole time I was thinking "Oh this dude is Matthias Wandel Jr."

[@travissjogren9019]

I've never done any carpentry in my entire life and wouldn't even know how to use any of those tools even, but this is extremely satisfying to watch. No idea why.

[@Tsundemo]

[@TimesWatcher]

Not sure which I like better... the glue on the wrong side of the pieces... or the "realization in 3... 2... 1..." captioning with speed adjusted sound effect! (Yes, I actually LOL'ed.) The only thing that I don't like about your videos (after stumbling across my first one yesterday)... is I'm quickly getting to have seen them all! Awesome channel!

[@OrchidAlloy]

I don't even know what a finger joint is; what am I doing here

[@Anil-zj1er]

I don't know why but feels great to watch it. Thank you.

[@michaelcrump7225]

was cracking up about the long reach clamp bit

[@TheNormalUniverse]

Michael Crump was that an allusion to Matthias wandel?

[@dave220]

I dont get it?

[@elhigh]

Him and John Heisz. They recently had a clamp-off pitting their designs against each other.

[@michaelcrump7225]

Bob Marley Mathis Wandel and john Heiz both have long reach clamp plans.. and they both (at the time of this video) made some funny videos testing both of them out.

[@danieljordan5912]

The sound of that mallet sped up just sounds fantastic

[@LetoZeth]

At first glance I hated this video. But after watching for a while, I now hate it less. I will leave a like for gluing the wrong side.

[@sonnder]

I endorse this comment.

[@MAGAMAN]

Why would you hate this video?

[@Codirectme]

I always have a bucket of water and rag nearby when I'm gluing. You can very easily wipe the glue away with a water soaked rag. Why he left the glue on the wrong side (and apparently let it dry) blows my mind. It's just so easy to clean a mistake. Otherwise, cool video/project.

[@chefjoshnovotny]

Great looking box! It's always nice to try something new that we've been wanting to attempt. It's a skill set you can now master since you've tried it out and now you can improve if you want to attempt it again. Thanks for sharing your new experience.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+Joshua Novotny Exactly!

[@mzeemombasa.3456]

You guys are just awesome. With those tools and your tutorial i can make great things.

[@intjonmiller]

Yes! I asked guys about this on Lumberjocks a couple years ago and the response I got was basically a universal, "no, your stupid". I lost interest in the project before taking the time to figure it out because I knew it had to be doable. Good job!

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+Jon Miller Great! I've wanted to try it and couldn't find anything at all about it online. Always worth a try :)

[@intjonmiller]

Agreed. If I'd had more time at the time I would have done just that, but sometimes there's only enough time for what you already know how to do. I could see this in my head so I knew it was doable, but the layout/setup was another matter. I'm glad to see it done and so well-documented. By the way, something something predrill because you can't something something if you already something something!!

[@intjonmiller]

Royal Poison You caught that, did you? :)

[@specialk22tt]

Maybe... ;)

[@TheHandsomeMatt]

It's doable, but it's not necessary and in the case of long grain to long grain could potentially make a weaker joint. Still, it looks pretty cool!

[@jasonwilterdink6556]

You are a pro young man!!! A woodworking ninja! Excellent craftsmanship!

[@Xyienced]

I like the 1/2" cut trick!

[@SJG-96]

Great results. I need to built one myself. Thanks for the video

[@bobcatgaze]

"I should probably predrill these, but if I did, then I'd have to say the word predrill which will probably start an argument in the comments." LET THE KEYBOARD WARRIOR WEEKEND SMACKDOWN BEGIN!!!!

[@cheatman05]

pretty nice job, it was actually satisfying to watch

[@Cashline01]

Great video, even though I don't have your fancy machines, I was still able to build a very beautiful box watching your videos. Thank you for taking the time to explain some stuff. Stay blessed

[@MrPSaun]

Kid, you are gonna make an awesome engineer or machinist or woodworker, something guy. Lovely work.

[@timroy1682]

How were you moving the wood over incrementally so evenly every time? I saw you measuring with the ruler but you weren't just eyeballing it from that were you?

[@ethan19quaife]

His fence moves incrementally. He has a video on it

[@drtomasdds]

Awesome project. You have skills.

[@Atr42Greasemonkey]

Its amazing to me that this video got 1000 dislikes . The box may have defects as he stated and it may be overkill for the tool but this is incredibly hard to make and in my opinion the attention to detail like the 1/2 inch notch or recessing the hinge area is brilliant thinking . I wish all the snowflakes of the world would just enjoy something like this video as everyone of us has a learning experience or a different idea..Nice job my friend keep the videos coming.

[@Josef_R]

Maybe it's the snowflakes who easily get offended by someone else's video getting dislikes.

[@MAGAMAN]

No talent losers offended by his "Toxic Masculinity"? (AKA he put time and effort in to becoming really good at something and it made the lazy losers feel like lazy losers) More likely people just got triggered by him saying Pre-Drilled.

[@TimesWatcher]

This comment left me with a dislike... of the fact that you can only like, not love, comments like this one. Also, I need to stop using the word like so many times in my replies, like I did in this one.

[@johnb8579]

998 of those dislikes were from guys who thought they were clicking on a porn link

[@Prdola]

To avoid the chips during the cuts you have to use paper tape in all the area where are you cutting. This protect the wood from chipping.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+Prdola I didn't get any significant chip out while cutting; the chip out was while test-fitting and gluing the joints.

[@tooolboxx]

What, no flocking?! Functional box? Yes. Overkill? Definitely. But fun to watch. Thanks.

[@johnb8579]

He's not about to "flock" anything after that exchange up there about the "misleading title"

[@donepearce]

Nicely done. Now how a bit of oil for a finish - and of course some green felt in the areas the height gauge touches... And a carrying handle on top

[@hpjk772]

6:51 Oh God yes, I love this. Most people don't pay this any mind when using this method, but I love that you took the width of the blade into consideration. Nice.

[@knugenavswarje734]

[@UnstoppableTramp]

I had actually wondered if this was possible. Excellent techniques in use and nice workshop too mate. Love the look of the box/ Subbed

...and now with dovetails ;) :p

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+Kühn Ooooh... I'll let you try that one!

Jeremy Schmidt ooh ..I would but my saw's and chisel's are dull ;) :p

[@itsmetasty]

Jeremy SCHMALTZ

[@BobAmarant]

Very cool project!

[@KarissaBoBissa]

Why not put the hinge on the inside? Edit; HOLY SHIT you guys! It was just a question, and Jeremey already commented on it. He has his own opinion like everyone else. Stop the badgering please!

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+Karissa Bo Bissa How? The hinge would have to show on the outside either way, if the box is able to open.

[@KarissaBoBissa]

Jeremy Schmidt the flaps go on the two sides facing each other so that only the pins are on the outside. Much more aesthetically pleasing.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+Karissa Bo Bissa I would have to disagree. Just my opinion but seeing only the pin doesn't look as good. But you have the right to your opinion and I'm not trying to change it :)

[@KarissaBoBissa]

Jeremy Schmidt trust me you won't 😝

[@htxmatt]

Is there any reasoning against screwing into the edge of the plywood? That would be my reason for not putting the hinge on the inside - Though I don't have the experience to say that's necessarily a bad idea.

[@BlankPicketSign]

Came for the title, stayed for the sound effects. I have zero experience with carpentry.

[@davidcuevas4792]

That's the only way to grow! Always push the edge. Take on, beyond your limit or experience. You have a bright future ahead within the constructs of wood working. Great job. Next time use hard wood, and hand parents each joint. It will require time, patients and fortitude. In the end, you will have grown exponentially in experience and knowledge. Really great job. I appreciate the younger generation taking on the trade from a calling deep within. D.C

[@artfx9]

thats a good looking box

Nice job Jeremy. Really like your channel.

[@timhyatt9185]

it's a great looking box, and totally befitting the care deserving of a quality tool like a sterritt....I would add some felt strips in the sockets where the bar rests..

very clever, Good job

[@victorwilliams8853]

I dont know what the fuck im watching I need to clean my room before my parents come back but how am i gonna do that if im watching this??!!

finger joint your door with the frame so they can't get in

Looks great, nice work 🤓👍🏼

[@derrickscott6795]

"Can you finger all sides of a box?"

[@mrchickene1805]

I always wondered if this could be done also. You are so young and did a beautiful job. Lets try this again using Oak, or Maple, or Cherry, or ....

[@royreynolds108]

The box looks great. I would suggest felt on the strips and blocks which contact the tool to protect the tool finish. I made a box for my son to store and carry cards and pieces for a game he has. It is similar to this one but a lot bigger. .The lid slides in a slot instead of a hinge.

[@Thefreakyfreek]

super job mate.

[@__-cd9ug]

I clicked on the video because I didn't understand the title coz im dumb

[@RYADMH]

if u soaked the edges in water for a while u well be able to joint them without cutting the edges again - and without gluing them .

[@ManImJustSomeDude]

I live in Arizona, I predrill nail holes. Lol

[@John-dp8oh]

Great box. However what appears to be missing in the explanation is how the saw guide is increments to cut all of the notches. Especially interesting is how to achieve the half inch joint. A "conventional" box joint jig can not do this, and to do it using measurement would be near impossible. Explanation please!

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Yeah, I should have gone into detail on that. This video will explain it: Box joints with the Incremental Table Saw Fence kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXvJhmSLrL5mjJI

[@John-dp8oh]

Thanks. I thought that there might be an explanation video somewhere. Just could not find it.

[@SyberPrepper]

Another great project. Great job.

[@donepearce]

Green felt lining for the tool support areas please! And of course some finish for the box itself, or it's going to get very grubby

[@wparo]

still no idea what finger joint means. but great box

[@Software.Engineer]

its a name for a joint used in connecting timber together. The wood fits together like fingers do when holding hands in the intertwined finger position, hence the name.

[@wparo]

thanks. now i know

[@shylajaleonathjir5720]

great working

[@robmckennie4203]

What's the argument people have about predrilling?

[@robmckennie4203]

***** I suppose. I would think if you wanted to avoid that argument you could just say pilot drilling, but then again i don't think Jer actually wanted to pilot drill

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+Rob Mckennie It was just a little rub on the folks who don't like the word predrill, but yeah I didn't want to anyway. And plywood won't split so it's not that important.

[@woodsprout]

Hugo Rinsema, No, it suggests an activity done before inserting a screw. So "predrilling" is a perfectly good use of a word in relation to driving screws.

[@robmckennie4203]

***** I think the point is that while it's true that predrilling is done as preparation for another step, it implies that the following step is drilling, and driving in a screw isn't _drilling_

[@woodsprout]

+Rob Mckennie In this use, "predrilling" just doesn't imply that. And often, words change meaning or definition according to context.

[@BuiltbyBill1]

Instead of pre drill, you drill pilot holes. Interesting project with a lot of work but I like the box joint look.

[@whoDatBeDare]

Funny thing. I was actually thinking pilot holes just before the pre-drill comment. Then couldn't remember the term pilot hole until i read this comment. Thanks for the reminder.

[@TheKutia]

should of stained it that thing looks sick

[@renanissler6081]

since i don't get what's the purpose of the very tool you're trying to store and carry around, this video seems you're doing a nicely built and cute box to walk around with a handy ruler if ever you need it. the hammering sound is although very pleasing. (6:00-6:09) not much related, but the draw catches made me very anxious about an order i made for my first violin. they remind me of its case.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

+Renan Issler Well, that tool costs well over $2000 new, so it seems wrong to just leave it out on the workbench...

[@SnuffySpaghetti]

[@osufwiffo]

Jeremy, So wait, did you visit the Warther museum in Dover Ohio, or just find the Knife online? ;) because Grandfather Warther, oh man, that guy had skills. You may enjoy this little bit of history, but almost 30 years ago now, they didn't make any knives except for Kitchen. I loved carving so much, my mother asked them to make me a knife like their father used long ago so i could have it as a gift at 14 years old. Tadda, they make carving knives now :) woot. Mom's rule.

[@martinhebrank852]

That place should be on every woodworker's pilgrimage list. I recognized that knife immediately, before he said it was a Warther.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

I bough it at the museum.

[@barstad-9591]

Sweet!

[@robmckennie4203]

I recently bought a height gauge that came in a nice wooden box, but the box had a rather puzzling mark on one end; "this end up". I was very confused until someone pointed out that the marked end was the opposite end to where the base of the tool was, and was there so that you know which way up to put it if you wanted to set the box on it's side without the gauge being upside down. If you think you might want to do that at some stage, I would recommend giving it some kind of mark, maybe a pretty wood inlay or something?

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Good idea
