Make cool things with BIRDS MOUTH JOINERY. How to make a beautiful wooden box

[@fransiscoalvarezinski6293]

Thank you Kayla. I'm going to take my woodworking projects to a new level thanks to you. Retirement is as beautiful as you and your work.

[@pblais404]

Simply gorgeous work. Wouldn't have been easier to run the rabbet on the sides of the box for the bottom before you assembled the box?

[@rawbacon]

I'm good at putting things in safe places too, sometimes so much so it takes me over a year before I find them again.

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

[@danmccurley466]

Put the location in your note book, that's what I do.

[@WilliamBogle-t1v]

Thank you Kayla so much for your wood work ,am cheering you on

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

You are so welcome! Hope you have a great week ahead -Skyler

[@mariocaceres5270]

Thank you for posting this project. Will work great as gifts for upcoming holidays. I'm curious about the nice details on lids. You mentioned you did them on the band saw but perhaps you can make another video where you illustrate that in more detail. I really enjoy your content. Thank you again.

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Great idea! will do. Thank you

[@jamesbain2791]

[@bennetthicks5974]

Great pieces! I am learning so much watching you work.

[@ericrhetta8412]

Found you yesterday and really enjoy your videos. I am a new woodworker and I aspire to do some of the techniques you show and produce things that make people smile.

[@jmnaik6]

Exquisite! Thanks. I’ll try to make those boxes. You’re very talented. My compliments

[@shadowfox929]

Absolutely beautiful boxes. Thanks for sharing.

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Thanks for watching!

[@DeepSouthSlingsDarrellAllen]

Those two beauties look great Skyler. The small one with the Maple side pieces would look fantastic with some wood burned conifer trees on them. 👍

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Great idea

[@timbits.4232]

Perfect!

[@billm4560]

You did outstanding job making those boxes Skyler! 👍🏻 I use that walrus oil a lot! I haven’t tried the wax yet but seems to do a nice job! 👌Thank you for sharing your work!

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Thanks so much! Yes, This is just my second time using the oil but I already ordered a bigger container of it

[@norm5785]

Excellent video, very detailed and clear

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tarz9386]

Just finished a bird mouth box myself but I think yours are great.

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

That’s awesome. Thank you. What does your box look like? How many sides? Wish I could see it

[@tarz9386]

8 sides with walnut & MAPLE with a paduk handle. A Christmas present@@woodworkingwithSkyler

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

@@tarz9386 sounds very nice

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

@@tarz9386 classic combo

[@peterclifton7069]

They look great. You are very talented.

[@jvmiller1995]

Very nice job. I also love to see women get into this mazing craft. You have some nice tools too. on the lid of the box you can use a router with a 3/4 straight bit. Set the depth to 3/8 or what you want and then the fence to how far you need to clear the walls of the box. If needed you can do a sacrificial fence on a router as well. But very nice job. This is my first time on your channel. Subbed and liked. Keep up the good work. I will be getting a set of those bits. I have seen them but never used or how they work.

[@tomasgimenez4592]

Im going for it! You make it look so easy, you gave me the confidence i needed to try this project Hopefully ill make two before Christmas,thank you for the lesson! Have a merry Christmas!!

You are a talented young lady, and a very good instructor as well. Thank you for sharing!😁🛫

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Thanks for watching

[@dougk5456]

Very nice. I like your approach to making things. Nothing complicated and they really turn out nice.

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Thank you very much!

[@florenciodurodecarvalhocar6380]

E muito bom o seu trabalho eu sou musico e fã da marcenaria Obrigada por compartilhar seus conhecimento muito muito obrigado

[@justgoballistic]

Nice job! With the banding on the lid, I have found that a wider band saw blade allows you to produce smoother curves because you can't turn as sharply. 3/8" works perfect for me. Might give that a try

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Thanks for the tip! Makes sense. Will try a wider blade next time

[@katherynlamarche7308]

I enjoy watching you so much. Like I said before I have been woodworking for years and you get set in your world. You bring a fresh approach because your are new at it.Keep doing it I love it. I have done bird mouth joinery and love it. Julien

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Hi Julien. Your kind words mean a lot to me. Thank you very much for your encouragement

[@ljgault]

Love the look of these boxes.. Now that the super hot weather is leaving here I will be out in the shop more in the future trying some of these for Christmas gifts. Thanks for outstanding how to video's.

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Please do!

[@theburnpitregistry]

Those are absolutely beautiful.

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Glad you like them! Thank you

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

You can find small sponge pieces in the makeup area of the dollar store, that are used for applying makeup and they are way cheaper than cutting down a large foam sheet. These are denser than regular sponges and can be re-used a couple of times before disposing of them if it is a water-based paint or sealer. I use them for small projects and work out perfectly. If you prefer a handle, you can clip the sponge between a close pin for an instant paintbrush. Also, if you like using these sponges, you can find them in all different sizes and densities through wholesales. A friend makes jewelry boxes and has been using these for years to apply stain and wip on poly.

[@mouthofthesouth4267]

Great idea I have a bunch of those laying around since I only tend to paint wood and hardly my face lol but I've found lots of my "girly" tools have worked excellent for my crafting projects ❤

[@ronboe6325]

For folks that don't have your steady hand drawing curves (or for those times you're too shaky from excess coffee.... :^D ) may I recommend a set of French Curves. Old stand by for draftsman. Also handy if you wish to repeat a curve (or try to copy one from a different project or item as you can mark on them). That lid turned out really nice. I'm wondering if the larger box would have looked better to your eye if all the sides were the same width.

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Maybe. Not sure. But something its not right about the dimensions it has now. My curves were not smooth either. Thanks for the tip. Just ordered some.

[@byfordbarnard2264]

I’m going to get those bits soon, always have small pieces laying around

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

I think you will like them

[@byfordbarnard2264]

I bought me a set, will be trying out soon

[@akilmiller3815]

would a sanding pen help you with those precision corners for the lid and the bottom of the box, I mean if you're not using one already?

[@RYwoodview]

I noticed with this video that your takes are long & continuous compared to many other KZbinrs. Compliments to your self-confidence and articulateness in describing your work as it progresses. And you explained the banding effect on top of the bigger box very clearly; it is much simpler than one would imagine.

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

I appreciate that! Thank you

[@TheFalconJetDriver]

I agree with you too!😁🛫

[@madwilliamflint]

That's REALLY pretty. I've still got the bits from the last time you did a Bird's Mouth joinery vid...a couple months ago maybe? But of course I "got busy" and haven't used them yet.

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

I know how that goes:)

[@madwilliamflint]

@@woodworkingwithSkyler Yeah, I'll bet.

[@DavZell]

I enjoyed this more instructional-project oriented video (compared to the review/comparison ones, which are also enjoyable). Your channel is coming along very well. You've learned a lot in the short time youve been woodworking and are adept at sharing that knowledge.

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Thank you DavZell. I am trying my best

[@mariasaha8303]

❤❤❤

[@ricks3905]

Pleas make a void on making setup blocks

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Already did

[@searchmanager9372]

Very nice boxes. I like how you make the steps so easy to follow. How well do these type of boxes sell in your area or do you sell on line.

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

I don’t sell them as my boxes are never perfect and would feel bad if someone would return it:)

[@dannydoo123]

how do you cut that wood so thin . do you have a jig

[@gordonrockafellow1211]

The reason you had the gaps in the corners was using the router bit to mortise the box and the table saw on the bottom. The table saw made corners that came to a sharp point and the router bit mane a rounded corner. Cut the mortise on the box with the table saw before assembly.

[@peterpepelehew6283]

Is there a trick to the thickness of the board and the depth of the router bit to get the sides to align?

[@brentmcbride3960]

What is the extension (rollers) you have installed on the left side of your table saw? Really enjoy your videos! You make it look easy....

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Its a rockler roller stand. Love it

[@ronaldcumpsty5605]

Only you would know that the bottom is filled so you should consider selling them if you had the need to. That being said, I turn bowls and have never sold any only given them away, but I am retired so time is cheap. Nice work though, I am sure owners of them would get lots of pleasure.😊.

[@kenerickson4923]

Is there a setup block for the bits or do you need to do a trial run on scraps?

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Yes, I use the set up block. One bit its set perfectly, I run it on a board and then keep that board as a setup block for next time I use that thickness material

[@Signorew]

Little imperfections makes human to interesting human and a little boxes to art. Half of the work of a craftsman/-lady is „deleting“ mistakes which only she/he sees 😂. I even believe that some of the biggest & most expensive pieces of art are just the result of a clever marketing. So keep on, trust yourself & sell those super nice boxes, …or not: Just if you don’t like compliments! (What I need to warn you, cause this will happen!)

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

:) thank you. That’s something I need to work on… confidence in my work. My plan is to start selling some of the stuff I make beginning with 2024! Will see how it goes:)

[@marvinhunger8169]

I think you would find that you would like a tape dispenser instead of using 2 hands to tear off a piece of tape. I also like using a silicone brush to apply the glue. Dry glue peels off it easily.

[@cascadehiker50]

I'll bet you take your own product photography shots to sell. If you sell 😉

[@rodmills4071]

Nice boxes..... but shouldn't you machine the end grain, so you present long grain to the top edge of the box.🤔😎🇦🇺👌

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Yes, that would be prefereble

[@michellaplante1790]

Merci !
