Woodworking Project | How to Make a Wood Tissue Box Cover

[@thomasdavis4565]

Hi im 14 and i do wood work any tips

[@MakeSomething]

Hi Thomas! Never push the wood too fast through the table saw or bandsaw. Let the blade do the cutting. Pushing the piece faster than what the blade can cut will give you poor cuts and is a safety issue.

[@sgrisez]

Buy all of your lumber from Kencraft!

[@thomasdavis4565]

Thanks

[@KyleBarnick]

@@thomasdavis4565 Don't be afraid to show off your failures. You can learn and show your development. Plus don't stop on a failure, keep going, you may like how it turns out.

[@gameroomtimemachine]

Remember your first try at a new technique or project won't be the best and that's ok. Practice makes perfect.

[@AKeshaist]

I REALLY appreciate the indepth discussion about WHY you made certain design choices, I never would have consciously realized things like the shadow line on the bottom or darkening transitions, and now its something I can look for in my own future designs, please keep doing that

[@JB501USA]

Ali my thoughts exactly, can I put like 17 thumbs up here?

[@MichaelAlm]

Love those slow-mo shots of the hickory falling off the saw!

[@jrmyphts]

Thanks for taking us to Kencraft with you.

[@skewedmaker]

Great tip on routing the end grain first to eliminate the tear out when you do the long grain. Finished product looks great and well said on the no tool shaming.

[@mafeharu]

Love the contrast and finish on the walnut and hickory - Well done sir!

[@paulstutzenstein]

I never thought cutting 45s on a table saw could look so cool! Great video!

[@zachjohnson41]

I would probably make a template and use a pattern bit on my router. No complaints here, good job!

[@MakeSomething]

So many ways to do a thing! Thanks Zach!

[@cameronh5259]

I thought the same thing. Why spend your time hating, when you could be making

My son with special needs found this video and immediately said that's what we need to do, make everyone in the family one of these tissue boxes, so that's what we are doing. Just watched your bandsaw box video and realised it's your book I bought a couple of years back. Absolutely brilliant, best videos for woodworking on KZbin. Thanks.👍

[@woodencrowe9979]

Nice gift idea! Love my CNC & Laser!

[@anthonyperrone8332]

Amen to your methods comment! Keeping doing “you” and be yourself. I love your channel because of who you are 👍🏻.

[@ladykenja2700]

- Nice project. Thanx 4 sharing.

[@randywright7933]

Thanks for the great gift idea. Certainly got ideas flowing in my head.

[@brainfornothing]

Simple design, easy to make, nice to the eye and useful. Thanks for sharing !

[@mikethewoodworker6194]

I bought your plans the other day, made this box successfully and I used a Forstner bit for my hole in the top.

[@MakeSomething]

Thanks Mike!

[@patrickzeiss9457]

I think this might be visually your best video yet. Gorgeous!

[@MakeSomething]

Thank you!!

[@CanKenMakeIt]

KenCraft is my favorite hardwood store. I just like the name for some reason.

[@MakeSomething]

I can see why!

[@jimbates3557]

Just made two tissue boxes like yours. You gave great direction and mine turned out really well. Thanks for sharing!

[@MakeSomething]

Awesome!! Thank you!

[@danielharphamgist8029]

Hi David, thanks for another great vid. I made one for a Christmas present.

[@1cgower]

very good job thanks

[@fasthoggen11]

Very cool. I love my Xcarve. Thanks for making this box

[@GeekBuildersNet]

Love the rationale for the design choices. Looks great

[@Fleenoreric]

I really like this video. The lumber store footage is charming. The driving, it adds to the over thought and detail you produce in your videos. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@franks.5069]

Looks like the new X-Carve comes with an 80's tape deck... sweet!

[@BitsandWood]

"...so it's more pleasant to touch...like me." "Scrap walnut you don't have to respec." "...and no, I don't care if you don't like CNCs." HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! It's the little comments like that that just sell it for me, dude. Nice as always!

[@Cleverdad_itchy_back]

I don't know what you and Dan have been getting into but you just made a tissue box video make my eyes very happy great video and edit keep up great work

[@sgsax]

Awesome build as always, and Dan had some great shots in there too. Design-wise, I love the chamfered bottom edge, looks really sharp!

[@Jackpowerse]

You sure have a very talented cameraman really impressive

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

Great project. Turned out great. CNC's Rock!

[@vegetarianhunterable]

awesome all-round production.

[@ChippedBuilds]

Love watching the projects where you batch stuff out. Some really good tips in the video. Good work as always.

[@benwallace6542]

Wise words from the Make Something.

[@catherinemiles3563]

They looks amazing thank you for sharing 😊

[@peterpoertner7042]

I'll be in Toledo tomorrow, I'll make sure to stop by Kencraft, hope to see you there Dave!

[@Aardrijk1]

Fun build! I'd love to get a CNC machine, but I need a new sander first! 😎 (among other things)

[@johnsholian4318]

Very nice! I have X-Carve envy now. Thanks a lot...

[@PeterOConnl]

What a damn good idea and a great looking project man!

[@stanleyshostak2737]

As always knocking it out of the park! Psssst.... now everyone knows what they are getting for 🎄 Christmas.

[@RechadTheArtist1980]

I put the tops 3 up and cut them on the scroll saw.... definitely going to have to get an X carve one day.... thanks for the video bro

[@Joe-p6k]

Really bummed that after I moved south from Sylvania, I find you doing what I like to do since I retired. I've tried searching for hardwood places. Can't find anything like your place. Just have to try harder I guess. You inspire me.

[@DumpsterMarcus]

Looks great!!! love handmade gifts for the holidays!!

[@DIYPD]

Oh my god! There are so many! Great job!

No ones ever made cutting miters for tissue boxes seem so badass. 🤣 Im a subscriber now.

Has to be one of my favorite table saw montages to date! Nice work guys! Great gift idea.

[@MakeSomething]

Thank you!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Wow! That's a lot of tissues! They look really good. I like the color the simple finish gave to the hickory. I actually thought they were made from cherry when I first saw your thumbnail.

[@punishedprops]

Great video! I really dug the 45 degree cuts montage. =D

[@whatmaking7822]

As always, great job!

[@chrisghaly607]

Love your videos. Been watching for years. When routing, try doing the long grain first, then end grain. That way, the the end grain that would have torn out is already gone and can't possibly tear out.

[@jasonwyliie8022]

I’m a big fan of your channel and the work you do. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I’m also here in the Buckeye state, Youngstown area.

Toledo is awesome. Ever make it down to the Akron Maker Space?

[@pteddie6965]

Nothing Fancy........Are you kidding? You and Camera Dan are both extra fancy!!!!!

[@MeansWoodshop]

I wish my hardwood dealer was like Kencraft. They’re real cool guys, but you have to go in their office, tell them what you’re looking for, then they take you out in the warehouse and you grab what you came from. There’s no just browsing around like I wish there was. Great video and project, man. They look great.

[@3rd_stall]

Kencraft also sells an 80# bag of troll feed. Great work as always Sir.

respect the scrap wood too. I sometimes do woordworking for my wife's dollhouse and hardly any piece of wood is too small to use. So send all that scrap walnut to me!. (walnut being crazy expensive here..)

That new square dowel design! XD

[@Mcphilsmith]

I could build that too if I had name brand Kleenex. 😀

[@nicholasmartin4654]

I like that you drop in the tissues from the top. I hated the knit cover things my grandma had. The tissue box always fell out if you moved it.

[@Thom4123]

Awesome video really nice gifts and Excellent message. Have a Merry Christmas with your family and friends

[@StevEOnEShoT]

I dig it.

[@AutotechWoodworking]

Greatproject David! I would love to have a CNC as I have projects in mind that have repetitive steps and a CNC would simplify and quicken the tasks immensely. But alas, I have other needs that are more pressing and have to come first, so a jig saw it will have to be for the time being.

[@rchavez5056]

David S look at Dave Gatton CNC. It might be cheaper and easier to build then you think.

[@AutotechWoodworking]

@@rchavez5056 Thanks for the input, I checked them out. Right now they are still a want that I have put on the back burner.

[@darinnetherland3466]

Could you do the top by making a larger diameter oval as a guide for the router to run around and a scrap piece of plywood underneath? Seems like a good alternative to CNC and will Mae it just as easy to batch out a bunch.

[@sigogglin]

Just bought two of your plans, I also got a laugh when the subtitles called you Davey’s Potato!

[@JCSchaefer82]

Nice job and thanks for the gift idea. It would be a smidge cooler if it had magnets to help attach this to a 1850’s power hammer.

[@EuerKonstantin]

Really nice boxes and really good step to upgrade the tissue boxes. Great Video. Regards from Bavaria #EuerKonstantin

[@صابرالمرادي-ه2ز]

Wooooooow

Another good project but if you don't have a cnc just use an Oval Drill bit :) Merry christmas

Toledo! Hello from BG!

[@MakeSomething]

Hey neighbor!

[@CROWLEY2478]

Looks great!. IDK why all the CNC hate. Its a tool. Thats it. Im sure the same hate was directed at a powered saw when they were first introduced.

[@jonnybooks9337]

i can't speak for anyone else, but i hate CNC'ers 'cause i CANNOT afford one (yet...when i can, then i won't hate them anymore!)...j/k i don't hate them, i just can't wait to be able to get one of my own & BE one of them!

[@darinnetherland3466]

Probably because the vast majority of hobbyists can’t dump $3,000+ into one tool. Not very DIY friendly. It would be nice if the guy gave at little more thoughtful CNC alternative. Jig saw is ok, but not a great option, especially for batching out a lot of these. I was thinking just cut a large diameter oval out of plywood for a handheld plunge router guide.

[@marcuskoko5577]

The reason people dislike it is because it's so far from what traditional woodworking is and really what the essence of woodworking is. Working with your hands

[@Repulsin77]

Less is more. Very nice!

[@claytonsteele6643]

I love the new music!! Did u record it yourself?

[@MakeSomething]

I did, thank you!

[@TheCHRISCaPWN]

Respect the walnut. Respect the long grain. 👍

It looks like we have the same band saw. Any tips on drift?

[@travisgeringer7904]

Since you posted this video before Christmas, your family is now going to know what you are giving them...

[@mysinsareforgiven]

Picciuto-isms. I could write a book! “Nice to touch...like me”. Classic. Oh, my husband is going to hear this one tonight 😉

[@MakeSomething]

haha!

[@NirvanaWoodWorksbyJanie]

Awesome video, David. Question: since you cut the hole in the top cover with the grain, won't that weaken the wood and be more prone to break? I only ask as we have a lot of kids for the holidays and they all like to mess with things. Yes we can build another but I'd want to anticipate that if I could. Thanks!!

[@Hubbmade]

Grrrrrrrrrreat! Beautiful project, amazing video, funny lines... ya got it all in this one!

[@pileofstuff]

Strength aside, I like the look of the vertical grain. 'sides, it's how the tree meant it to be!

[@MakeSomething]

Great point!
