Make a Wooden Box With A Sliding Lid // And Dowel Joinery

[@GregJorgo]

Great work and box!

[@frankblack1481]

Very very nice project. Thank you!

[@jerseycornboy]

OK I am giving you a C+, since this was 5 years ago I would assume the build and finish will be much improved.

[@blu3_enjoy]

i like the music reversing at the end. very cool editing

Hello, It's better that the lid to sliding on the length of the rectangular box that the width of it? Why then?

[@ktrubels]

instrumentals is burning tho!

[@robv.7864]

No riving knife or guard, fence full length...

[@KeithOlson]

Hmmm... It just occurred to me that if you mount the lid to the underside of something--a shelf, a workbench, etc.--then the box becomes a drawer! (If you standardize the sizes, then you can attach a row of lids to the bottom of your workbench surface and then, when you are working on a particular project, you can just grab the drawers containing what you need from a storage area and slide them into place at your workbench. Everything you need will be right at hand, but out of the way. You could also have larger 'drawers' that bridge two--or more--lids.) Does that make sense?

[@stevehalko6432]

What did you use for the top and bottom? 1/8” ply?

[@jharmondesign]

Steve Halko yeah it was some scrap Underlayment I had from a job.

[@stevehalko6432]

J. Harmon Design great thanks!

[@oojagapivy]

Nice. The cherry popped with that BLO.

[@CesareVesdani]

I'd love to make a box like this but on a much larger scale.

[@jharmondesign]

Cesare Vesdani do it I’d love to see what you come up with!

[@CesareVesdani]

@@jharmondesign Yes, but I don't have the equipment to do so. I already know how to make a wooden box.

[@byronbuchanan3066]

I highly suggest using a riving knife on your table saw. You are asking for kickback. ouch

[@heyimamaker]

Really nice! But whats going in it? :)

[@jharmondesign]

Hey I'm a Maker I’ll leave that up to who ever gets it!

[@slayerhawk1972]

Turned out great. @myhoneyshandmade

[@972Hernandez]

Do you sell? Where can I buy?

[@jharmondesign]

Ana Hernandez email me jharmondesign@gmail and I can send you pictures of what I have at the moment.

Nice box. Your rip cut on the mitre saw at 1:02 made me cringe a bit though. That cut is generally a no no.

[@jharmondesign]

fak892 interesting, I personally have had that cut go bad on a table saw, being that it was wider than it was long. But looking back I at least should have used the hold to secure the board and not my fingers. Thanks for the concern!

[@fak892]

That would help. I think the cross cut blade makes it dangerous since it's more likely to grab the piece and fling it up.

[@matthewevansteush6461]

table saws highly dangerous short pieces even more dangerous

[@Wethelees369]

Can I buy this box ? I want this box :)

[@jharmondesign]

T L awe sorry I don’t have this box any longer.

[@mariergilles9000]

your plywood you could have done better at the end

[@donjmaciver]

terrible music!

[@garzonlaperle9403]

I did the same with Stodoys :)
