Enjoy this video? Fantastic! Do me a favour and follow me on Instagram - @dpmakestuff. I do giveaways and you get to see what I'm working on every day. Thank you!

[@Izzymartin1]

Just blown away by the detail and perfection! I'm a retired jeweler and just began to start taking on some wood projects, because I love the creative liberty of it all. Your work is truly inspiring!

[@makingitmatters9587]

Gives a new meaning to hand rubbed finish. Beautiful work.

When you have to explain to your girlfriend why you searched for "Secret DP Hard Wood Oily Hand Rub Finish"

[@hejustleft]

A supremely talented, master craftsman would only begin to describe your talent. What a beautiful creation you made.

[@dpmakestuff]

+hejustleft Thanks!

[@TheShavingWoodWorkshop]

The grain in this piece is beautiful - Love the secret drawer idea

[@MarkLindsayCNC]

Love the brass door pulls! The box came out gorgeous. Thanks for posting this!

[@Chancey464]

your 1st two boxes were fantastic, but this one with ebony, purple heart and walnut, hit it out of the park, BEAUTIFUL, thanks for sharing.

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks again!

[@TheCHRISCaPWN]

You really do make it look easy. I love your "hidden" series, and your choice of woods to work with. You make some very high dollar products. kudos.

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks Chris!

[@basuramanya]

Wow...just wow. I learned million different things watching that..

[@Piterworkshop]

I have no words to describe your work. May be perfect! Pretty design, ingenious secret compartment and a very professional realization..... congratulations for your work and thank you very much for share all those little tricks that cover all your work.

[@whitewolf8758]

everything about this puzzle box is beautiful! nice wood combination too!

[@timpinxteren]

This is almost like a work of art, woodcraft at it's finest. I would like to see a lot more of those video's, since I'm learning lots of new woodworking techniques. Keep 'em comming, and keep up the good work!

[@RJBoyceEsq]

Such a deviously simple locking mechanism. I love it!

[@bryannagauthreaux4445]

That little bit after 3:30 to 4:00 was so satisfying to hear and watch. It looked so smooth and cool👌

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks!

[@TheSeancassady]

Great looking box! Love those trick boxes and theres no limit to the trickery.

[@SkullyWoodMetal]

You have some mad skills. Beautiful box!!

[@bigdondadda]

Skully Wood & Metal eh man you stole my pick-up line lol

[@willemkossen]

Im lost for words! What a nice little chest of drawers that is! Thanks for sharing!

[@chickadddee]

Beautiful! As someone who knows nothing about woodworking, I am fascinated by watching this! But I feel like a dog while I'm trying to grasp what the heck you are doing. "Oh yeah, I see what you're doin' there. Uh huh. Different wood. Pretty. Yup. Lots of pins. Whoa, wait, what was that? Upside down? What the heck? How can you do that so fast? How do you know what goes where? WOW look at that!! You humans are amazing. Can I have my snack now?" 😆

[@Lapeerphoto]

Beautiful!! Even without the locking drawer, its a very nice project!

[@rogersrabbithole8417]

Beautiful box !!! You used most of my favorite wood species. Ash & beech are the others. Very nice.

[@tpgoat]

My take away from that entire video was that you made your own door hardware and washers... Nice work on the box.

[@dpmakestuff]

that's it? I made everything else too haha! Thanks!

[@tpgoat]

No, the entire video was awesome you do great work and I wish I had half the tools that you do.

[@mark2201750]

Love this Dustin! The walnut grain, door pulls, and wood contrast.

[@dominicdelprincipe2583]

Great ideas and techniques. I love puzzles, boxes and otherwise; I'm in the process of trying to make original (and some older) mechanisms. Your videos are very inspiring! Love the creation of hardware (washers and knobs)!

[@Shopbuilt]

Love how you made all the hardware, very cool!

[@dpmakestuff]

+Shop built Thanks! It wasn't until I was writing up the description that I realized I had made every part of the box.

[@Richard31337]

I love watching you work. Really clever ways to make the materials work for you. Love the way you routed the drawer fronts and cut the corners for the darker wood inserts. Beautiful 😀

[@dpmakestuff]

+ΓΞTRO ΓICH Thanks! I'm really happy with the way the colours worked together on this one

[@Richard31337]

+Dustin Penner I love it when you oil the wood and it brings out the natural beauty in the grain. Stunning. Wish I could make stuff like this. You must love it, which shows

[@dpmakestuff]

+ΓΞTRO ΓICH I call that the money shot! I'm always curious to see what pops out when the finish is applied! Start with simple projects and basic tools, you'll be building this above and beyond this in no time!

[@Geraldine975]

That is the finest piece of wood work I've seen in a long time.

[@cozminpreda]

You made Diresta look like a beginner! :))) Very nice craftsmanship and editing!

[@dpmakestuff]

+cozmin preda That's a bold statement! I'd be lucky if I had a tenth of that mans talent. Thank you nonetheless!

[@TheWoodWerker]

LOL...I was thinking Jimmy Diresta meets Izzy Swan! Dustin You Rok Dude. You know when I grow up I wanna' be juuuust like YOU right?!!! Keep em' coming Bro! Have A Super Blessed Week!..... Gus

[@Vizible21]

i just realized ive been watching this kind of diy... maybe because the sound of things making it is just so satisfying...

[@dpmakestuff]

Appreciate it! Thanks very much!

[@masterzedd4]

Absolutely beautiful work. Fit and finish is excellent.

[@manfredmarschik]

There is no word that could describe how amazed I am by your talent. It is the first video I watched and I had to subscribe within the first minute. Thanks so much for sharing your work here.

[@leapinglemurcraftworks6426]

Beautiful box!! Very creative use of the brass - looks great, very well done Scott

[@n8guy]

Beautiful! Also, gives new meaning to "hand-rubbed finish". Great work and fun design!

[@AdrianCardenasChacho]

For god's sake !! this guy is miles beyond anything ! Congratulations and thank you for sharing this to the world

[@dpmakestuff]

+Adrian Cardenas thank you!

[@dnngskn62]

Great build = awesome box.

[@Xyienced]

Whole video was an awesome adventure! Top notch drill press milling. Really nice

[@ggreene245]

Another outstanding project... The wood grains are ridiculous. Beautiful...

[@outseeker]

[@dafickler]

With ebony being as expensive as it is, i'm really surprised you didn't do triangles for the splines instead of rectangles to conserve more. Beautiful box! Fantastic work!

[@aetherx2519]

I don't know the first thing about machining or woodworking but I love the editing on your videos and the final product looks so nice.

[@kraftybeard4272]

Love the simple but effective locking mechanism, works great!

[@craigwickham7963]

Love that you made your own brass hardware! Very cool video. All your videos are greet with lots of cool ideas!

[@PPMOCRG]

That is beautiful! Thank you for sharing it.

[@richb313]

Really nice work. The wood really took the finish well.

[@dpmakestuff]

+richb313 Yeah I couldn't wait to get the finish on and see the colour pop! Thanks!

[@shwaybotx]

Wow, you have a great set of videos here, Jake, and out the ballpark tools.

[@DIYModernTwins]

That was AWESOME Dustin. Love how you used the drill press to make the handles! Brilliant.

[@dawsie]

That's one beautiful box I love the woods that you have used, I have trouble getting those types of woods here in Australia unless I pay the really big bucks here :-/ When Dad I cut down a few trees that were dying out in the back and front yard I kept a lot of it and have it racked up for later use two of the trees were very old orange trees but I found the roots were really pretty and have kept them for wood turning :-) the third tree was an old pine tree around 200 years old so I kept quite a lot of that as the grain was good on it plus I could not afford to buy 200 year old wood :-) that too had some really nice roots that would work out well for turning :-) it got some kind of bug at the base of the tree and we were told it had to come down they quoted $800 to cut it down and take it away umm I don't think so boys was not born on the slow boat to China so dad and I spent the week cutting it down in parts :-) hope to make something nice from it in a few years after drying time :-)

[@tonybp965]

I don't know what to say. Forget the piece. My goodness the talent, I, I, I don't know....

[@nickjohnson5291]

Beautiful woodwork!

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks!

[@scottdreitlein363]

Things that are lost in today's generation of Carpenters - patience, creativity, precision and pride. Great job, keep on creating and sharing with the world

[@IanMossMakeMoss]

Came out awesome Dustin! Beautiful choices on wood.

[@HeavyTone66]

That is one beautiful looking jewellery box, excellent work DP.

[@llomax1067]

I'm fascinated by secret compartment boxes.... Getting my shop set up lil by lil..... But once it's up..... Boxes will be my life 😁.... Good stuff.... New subscriber here

[@LindsayOrr87]

This is great work! The locking mech is great, and of course the woodworking looks lovely, but what really gets me is the brass hardware you make yourself; simple but looks lovely. First video I've seen of yours, happy to subscribe!

[@dpmakestuff]

+Lindsay Orr Appreciate it! Thanks for the sub.

[@TrogeyGolf]

Very envious of your craftsmanship. Wow.

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks very much!

[@dhdeclined8472]

Very nice! A lot of thought and care in this project.

[@Simplecove]

That's a bad ass box, Dustin! The grain on the walnut doors is amazing! Good job!

[@dpmakestuff]

+SimpleCove Thank you and thank you again!

[@rustyshacolfurd4581]

Thats so cool by the time u stared doing the secret compartment draw i had completely forgotten thats what you were doing

[@stuffsethmakes]

Awesome box. I was just using some thin brass rod on a small box the other day, very basic. But seeing your technique to cut/shape/finish those brass knobs on your box made me realize just how novice I really am, haha! Thanks for the inspiration. Keep up the great work!

[@SuqMadiq]

That's a drop-dead gorgeous piece of walnut, right there!

[@dpmakestuff]

+Brady C straight out of the discount bin at my lumber yard!

[@koum6984]

amazing work , very inspiring project, would love to see the secret compartment to open with a magnet somehow. keep up the good work ☺☺☺👌👌👌

[@More-Space-In-Ear]

Beautiful build. Great job 👍🏼😊

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks Marc!

[@mkhanson1440]

Great work. Love the grain work, and colors used. I've worked with Paduak before and it smells amazing when you are using it. Looks great!

[@bournemouthlass]

Initially I thought it was a shame that there was no commentary but as the video progressed I loved the way the visuals told the story. I have no idea about shop work but enjoy watching things being constructed. This is a really novel idea and beautiful constructed.

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks!

[@WoodByWright]

Love the detail

[@valterleao6795]

PARABÉNS, um verdadeiro show, quanta habilidade e criatividade, gostei muito, aprendi muito também! Abraço aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷

[@julianweisbock5697]

Wow! This box came out very beautiful! Good Job!

[@BruceAUlrich]

This is so cool! Love that bookmatched front.

[@lamiallegerald3341]

Beautiful work. And great editing. Awesome.

[@belindamanning9851]

Absolutely beautiful. As a beginner, I watch videos to learn and I did learn some from this video but would be nice to hear more on like, make sure you do this....or this is the reason for this.....examples so we can learn from your experience. However that may not be the intention of your videos. Truly brilliant box.

[@laurabarrerablas646]

Brillante la idea además de todas las técnicas para conseguir el fin, gracias por todo eso!!

[@mudhaula]

Awesome work!! You wouldn't happen to have a video of a hidden push button locking compartment or box would you?

[@dpmakestuff]

I have secret compartment videos for days. Just scroll through my video list.

[@woodturnermark8529]

Very nice Dustin, The secret drawer is very clever, the only thing that i would change is the thickness of the material, I think it would look better with thinner stock on the framework, the reinforced mitre joint adds class! Great work!

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks!

[@lynnmasoner7627]

Beautiful job on the box... love it

[@harleefreshour5323]

Is there anyway we can get plans on this build? My husband is interested

[@GlassImpressions]

Love it! The locking mech is clever

[@kelymknowles1]

This is above my skill level. Lovely work.

[@hechoamano521]

muy bonito trabajo que producto le aplicaste al final

[@Wordsnwood]

Love the bookmatched doors.

[@johnconklin9039]

That turned out great. The figure on the doors is awesome.

[@dpmakestuff]

+John Conklin I plucked that board out of the discount bin at my lumber yard... It kept getting better at every step! Thanks for watching!

[@yourmumthinksimcool]

holy hot damn! can't even figure out where to start on fabrication. great job!

[@skvozgorizont7673]

До чего же интересно смотреть ваше видео ! Спасибо Вам !

[@kirkmowery3406]

wow dude that was an awesome build

[@dpmakestuff]

+Kirk Mowery Thanks! I'm really happy with the way this one came out

[@LunabelX]

Imagine that in a big scale of a closet... it'd be quite an enigma for someone to solve :P

[@dpmakestuff]

Haha! That'd be a tough one to flip!

[@davidstadler6822]

it kind of hurts to see how talented others are... well done sir

[@rockycon1967]

Awesome creation Dustin, I must admit I was like "He's not glueing in the brass pulls without sanding off the pencil marks first!" lol. Looking forward to your next from Whitecourt Alberta.

[@MCPuckett77]

That whole thing was totally badass.

[@1corycar]

THANKS!!! I just moved... but I can hear my cabinet saw calling to me from under all the boxes...

[@marekl7485]

Nice detail, thanks for sharing!

[@ptld_train_horn]

So freaking cool. Beautiful wood choices bro.

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks!

[@KNUSON-yd4ll]

Crazy skill, that was one of the best videos I’ve seen in a while

[@bayenne5b]

what kind of wood are the front doors? would be nice on a guitar

[@dpmakestuff]

details are in the description
