I ran out of my homemade wax, so I had to buy off Amazon. Usually, I use a pound of bees wax chips mixed with a pint of cutting board oil, melted and mixed in an old crockpot. I then pour it into some 4oz tins to harden. Since I don't do cutting boards anymore, I just buy it on Amazon. Just make sure it's 100% beeswax like this one: amzn.to/3J8wt2M

I didn’t even need to make a box but I thought I’ll watch anyway because I always learn something new in lightburn from your videos. I didn’t know the node part and the arranging after! I’m glad I watched! Thank you.

[@mikeguidry49]

Another great , helpful and informative video Rich. Thank you.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Thanks Mike!

[@slhasebroock]

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

My pleasure Steve!

[@marywaide]

Thank you for the lesson. I love the tissue box.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Me too Mary! Another wife honey-do! 🤪

[@mountaindew4340]

I watch your videos all the time and truly appreciate the effort you put in. Thank you

[@kamilj49]

Thanks to your next video, I reduced the time from 40 minutes to 20 minutes, and imagine that just yesterday I was working on a photo box design, many thanks Rich. Respect.🥇🏆🤝

[@nickbayliss9110]

Excellent video. i'll have to give this a try. Thanks.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

It's better and stronger than a glue joint Nick.

[@3DHP]

Excellent video Rich,keep up the great work.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Thanks Jerry! I got your message and it's fixed, thanks Brother!

[@LarryDMitchell]

Great project. Thanks for the files too!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

You got it Larry!

[@merrillalbury8214]

Love the tissue box. I need to resize for larger boxes

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

I'm working on other boxes too.

[@DonLemont]

dead blow hammer will help with not splitting them i would think. Harbor frieght PITTSBURGH 1 lb. Neon Orange Dead Blow Hammer $6.99

[@wck2318]

Thank you yet again for a great tutorial, you make it look so easy. Thanks Rich

[@SamsWoodCreations]

[@swishair]

Another awesome video, get files. Thank you for what you do.

[@jf6720]

That hammer scares me on 3mm wood! Maybe a rubber mallet or soft blow hammer would be better?

[@TimoSund]

I use even on MDF. It is not about the tool but force used

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

No, the hammer works best!. I tried a rubber mallet and it doesn't get them all the way in, and you don't hear the change in the sound that lets you know it's all the way in.

[@michaelpack1198]

Hello Rich! On the very day I had decided to attempt my first boxes on my LaserMATIC 10 you release a video about boxes cut with the LaserMATIC 10! At 10:49, 11:30, and 13:17 you refer to a setting of 1.0. Correct me if I am wrong but I think you meant 0.1 which is what you input in burn correction at 3:58. I have yet to cut ANY boxes. Am I correct in assuming that I am always going to offset by an additional 0.02 (with the Roly) whatever the thickness of the material might be? Timely video, I must be living right.

[@HubicGaming]

Hey boss I can’t figure out how to get the connecting “tabs” to have less connecting tabs. How do u get ur original box with 4 plug in piece as opposed to the 8 plug in pieces u showed? Thank you in advance

[@pblais404]

Hi Rich... I love the tissue box. Do you sell and ship those completely assembled or as 5 pieces with assembly instructions?

[@stephen_LaserLuster]

Rich, another great video with some really helpful tips! Do you have any tips on how to round the sharp corners at the top of the finger openings? The ellipse makes a pretty sharp point at the top edge and the Radius tool doesn’t seem to work on complex shapes like those box sides.

[@lasermakersrealm]

The radius tool works for me, or you can always node edit.

[@robertarmstrong2323]

I get a floating error when box is generated

[@merrillalbury8214]

What beeswax do you use? Source?

[@lasermakersrealm]

I then pour it into some 4oz tins to harden. Since I don't do cutting boards anymore, I just buy it on Amazon. Just make sure it's 100% beeswax like this one: amzn.to/3J8wt2M

[@merrillalbury8214]

Love the formula. I knew you didn't use straight bees wax. Thanks.

[@merrillalbury8214]

Was that 1.0 or .1 kurf

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

1.0... my spot size was 0.08 so I added 0.02 for a super tight fit.

[@merrillalbury8214]

.02 + .08 should = .1 not 1.0 maybe my hearing is off. 1.0 would give you a 1.02 kirf. Or my math is bad. Anyway, at least I have a good idea what to use when I get my Roly. Have a great day.

[@StumblingBumblingIdiot]

@@merrillalbury8214 You are right should be 0.1 :) It's too warm down there in Louisiana so we should send him some snow to get him back on track LOL

[@cdeborahsartcassolis7412]

So, this says it's 'easy' but only if you have a laser cutter - right? I looked up laser cutters and they are in the $2000 and up and I don't have the money for that.. so is there another way to make these without an expensive laser cutter? Good video but there is no way I can afford a laser cutter. :'(

[@nestorma9895]

Perhaps a scroll saw? There are some cheap ones starting below $100. Just an idea 👍

[@cdeborahsartcassolis7412]

@@nestorma9895 okay, i will look into that. Your boxes are very nice though but I need to keep my cost down - for now until I get money coming in regularly - maybe I can hire you or someone who has your skills. Thank you for getting back to me. :) Have a wonderful day.

[@StumblingBumblingIdiot]

Great video again! I am curious how that friction fit works in massive humidity changes? Does the wood ever shrink or expand too much? Maybe the beeswax helps with that?
