[@rookieone3]

I would keep some Valkyrie's stuff into it. 😉 Nice box. Love the wood grain!!!!

[@USAMark70]

Cigars? Or maybe an urn for a loved one? A beautiful box built by a master craftsman no matter what’s stored inside.

[@SteveC38]

The heart of the one that broke mine... Just kidding, but somebody had to say it! Awesome box Brother! Once again, I loved the video!

[@genewilson81]

Beautiful box! I enjoy your work so much, I look forward to every post! Thank you, keep’em coming.

[@airwolf61970]

Looks like a cigar box.

[@supergimp2000]

Not 9 seconds in and John made my day.

[@nathanhiggs9382]

John - Having watched your channel for a while, I remember when you rough milled the wood from the tree. Really satisfying to see it come together in such a beautiful piece. For a box, I was amazed at how many different techniques were used. The key being, they were used by a pro craftsman. Thanks for taking the time to make a video of it.

[@JohnHeisz]

Thanks for the kind words and for watching it :)

[@essextwo]

Intro of the year.

[@WorkingWood]

Beautiful work John! You have so much home built equipment now that I have to look twice at where the jig ends and the piece starts 😉

[@Jehty21]

He really should paint his homemade equipment. I heard green is a good colour for that :)

[@aliasks6559]

Jehty naah, he picked nice wood :) and it seems John is more of a natural colors-tones-shades guy

[@theothermarshal]

Absolutely stunning figure... never thought I'd say that to another man, but there you go.

[@thatellipsisguy8984]

The Other Marshal box and crotch, a classic combination.

[@peterbrownwastaken]

Beautiful.

[@agp7073]

The grain is stunning and was a perfect choice for the box. Great work!

[@aurigo_tech]

This thing looks ridiculously good. How you solved the inevitable problems every project comes with is also great to watch and good to learn from.

[@kouniao]

Once again a perfect video. Craftsmanship, narration, production, aesthetics... Thank you again

[@rjwohlman]

John, I love your channel. You are a fantastic woodworker and teacher!

[@jurgdiriwachter7290]

Wow AWESOME 🙏. Du bist der Beste . . .

[@jonbishop1385]

John, What an absolute Joy to Watch, Thank You ! Love that Box/Finger Joint Jig You used too

[@douglashart5059]

I'm a big fan of that cove cut on the raised panel! Well done!

[@Walt1119]

Beautiful piece John, thanks so much for sharing with us!!

[@nickkropat8857]

John, it is incredible to see the breadth of work you have put in over the years - this video was a beautiful creation made on your multitude of amazing creations. It really struck me and made me appreciate how much you have shared with us over the years. Thank you

[@drreason2927]

I love watching you work ...with all your beautiful hand crafted tools! Inspiring!!

[@accredited83]

john you probably don't hear it enough but your a got dam genius! While watching you operate that box joint jig that you created i was observing the mechanics involved and even though i've seen it before this time it hit me the amount of ingenuity that went into something most folks would buy from rockler and be done. same applies to many of your tools but the impressive part is these are not novelty replicas or display items rather you actually use the hell out of the tools you create and that's freaking awesome brother!!!!

[@carlcox7332]

That method for coving the panel on the table saw is absolutely genius. All this time I thought I needed a big 3xp3nsive router bit to do that. Thank you

[@jrkorman]

First, love the way you got the grain wrap around the box. Very nice and really does justice to the wood. Second, That cove detail on the lid works great as it shows off some of the depth of the grain.

[@tomdenny8507]

Beautiful wood, beautiful finish, beautiful box. Beautiful.

[@robertelias3431]

You are a truly Craftsman. The amount of homemade jigs, clamps, etc. is astounding. Keep it up on your presentations. Thank U.

[@bonniebarber6114]

Beautiful box! It's so great to see all of your hand-made tools in action along the process of building things.

[@JohnHeisz]

Thanks :)

[@Zogg1281]

That box is gorgeous! Nicely done

[@johnross278]

You are a fantastic and fun guy, mixing incredible knowledge and technique with wit and accomplishment. LOVED this piece. Excellent.

[@endab5517]

Great build. Wonderful to have the old video!

[@Mucram-17]

Got halfway through on my coffee break. Looking forward to watching the whole thing when I get home from work. Always a pleasure watching your videos John

[@chiefcaptainmoroni1]

The color really came out with the Oil. Great job.

[@63256325N]

That turned out really nice! Thanks for the video.

[@pedalman4595]

ABSOLUTELY FREAKIN GORGEOUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@fuerzalatina134]

absolutely beautiful.......bravo John!! a pleasure to watch your work!!

[@VW.907]

Crazy, never thought of using a table saw like that.

[@MRrwmac]

John, Definitely like the figure and the way you matched it!

[@obrejacosmin8295]

I like your approach and the outcome that you shared. This box is totally you!

[@derekdodson5623]

How beautiful! Thanks

[@thomaskelly1228]

Spectacular looking woodgrain there!

[@tammyfinch6735]

Perfect! That's sooo pretty.

[@dannyhale7645]

Wow! That box is stunning! Your craftsmanship is great, but that beautiful spalted maple, with the tung oil finish, really steals the show. Nicely done, John.

[@redwards2006]

The grain looks amazing

[@ejtakach]

Hey John! One of your best! You sound really happy!

[@AdamCraigOutdoors]

i like the 2 sticks slide together to measure the inside of the groove!! slick little trick.

[@pecosR0B]

GORGEOUS, love the character of the wood that was used!!

[@elwood212]

That wood is Devine! Great job John

[@JimDockrellWatertone]

Stunning piece of wood. Beautiful box John.

[@jiml5274]

It's quite the educational and enjoyable experience to watch your process and to see your excellent finished piece. Thanks

[@longshot789]

That cove went really well!

[@luisarashirovideo]

It's amazing all the things you are doing with a table saw

[@geowhyrock]

really well done John. I enjoyed this one a lot.

[@mjschaeffer2112]

Beautiful craftsmanship!

[@ecaff9515]

Excellent video, design, and process. Thank you for sharing. The pattern and design is amazing. Love the oil finish, perfect.

[@danaowen9014]

so beautiful, love the color.

[@terrytowells5500]

Hey John, that's really beautiful work - thanks for sharing!

[@EricRoy85]

That wood is beautiful! Nice work. Thanks for sharing

[@timothygriffith177]

Gorgeous little box. Thanks for explaining the how-to as well. As a beginner, I loved seeing all the different techniques, especially using the table saw for the coved lid!

[@michaelwisbey488]

Yes, that part really caught my attention, had never seen that technique before.

[@gnusndn6089]

Thanks John I really appreciate that that's a beautiful box. Concerning those hinges I've once heard that there is nothing more permanent than a temporary arrangement. Secondly, I really like the thought of using that extended fence I have made one and it works great I've had it for years. It is really good at straightening boards. My fence is 8 ft long and I even made a 10 ft long fence with 6ft in extensions. Obviously the long fences aren't needed very often but they will accommodate eight foot long material, when needed. Keep up the good work and the projects I love them.

[@MnktoDave]

I've watched a lot of your videos John, and I gotta say, I really like this one, especially. A totally stunning build from start to finish, and an absolutely gorgeous box in the end! Your craftsmanship is amazing, and definitely something I look up to. Thanks so much for sharing this.

[@rafvdp6391]

Wow a real treat it's not Often that you make projects completely out of''real''wood . I was gonna 'comment/ ask' why you didn't made the groove first and then the box joint but the article cleared that up ! Store it with your plans and Tell '' this is the mastercopy'' since the box is made by the master! Hope to see more projects like this.👌

[@IBDaddyO]

Beauty of a job!

[@themeat5053]

John, you are better than a surgeon. Beautiful. I wish I could do it like that.

[@independentmind1977]

My father build a hardwood box over 30 years ago in his father's carpenter shop to hold oil paints. Both my Father and Grandfather have passed away, but I still have the box. It's pretty beat up and still has its original finish, but I think of them every time I look at it. I've been thinking of building one for my step son. It's important for men to make and gift these things. Instant sub for the opening joke LOL

[@finanmom]

John Thanks for sharing and the great education.. you are a master craftsman.
