Making a 17th Century Bible Box from one board with hand tools.

[@peterellis4262]

Keeping the pieces as one while doing the carving is an interesting idea that had not occurred to me. Thank you for that tip.

[@dburd58]

Very nice!!! I appreciate the use of hand tools, you've shown you can make beautiful things using the old ways.

[@morefiction3264]

Serious drawing skills there.

[@justinbehnke8724]

Man I just found your channel. I hope you start posting again.

[@enriquehidalgo1825]

Wood skills! Excellent work! Thanks for sharing

[@katzhunter4473]

So refreshing to see real woodworking 😌

[@leebeeden1780]

Really really enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing...:) I wood work myself and have been drawn more and more to using hand tools instead of machinery. This has inspired me to challenge myself to do the same and build a box using only hand tools.

[@mmarrinan]

I like the way you say that a lot of the specialty tools that you use (e.g. Router plane) aren't necessary so that people without those tools won't get disheartened.

[@CleanPhilWanted]

+Michael and Jessica Marrinan Thank you! Honestly, haven't watched this one for a good while so I'm not even sure what I have said in it anymore! What you mention is true though. All the joinery in this can be done with a sharp chisel, a fine tooth back saw and a half decent (but sharp) hand plane! Also, even simple joinery like these rebates make any project so much more rewarding to build! I hope you make one for yourself!

[@rollingstone3017]

Super nice, Clean. Your style woodwork is right up my alley.

[@neilyeag]

Really nice project. I too have always admired Peter's work. I want to try this as well. But with all of the tools I have, I don't have any carving tools!

[@allanmorse5957]

Very nice. I really like the design you used.

[@jaymylotto8134]

Amazing how you use only hand tools. Very impressed.

[@hutts57]

Nice job! Thanks for sharing and I'll bet your wife was thrilled with it.

[@dalejones4186]

Great job. Lots of info for beginning hand tool wood workers. Awesome narrative.

[@CleanPhilWanted]

Thank you +dale jones and thank you for watching!

[@alexhetherington8028]

I aim to build a box by hand based on the video game assassins creed.I only have and want to use hand tools.Your video showed me its possible,So i will be building it outside while its still summer here in the UK.Thanks for your video and your box is really nice.

[@DroneGirl1]

Very nice, love that kind of things, my uncle use to make boxes and candle holders :) Thumbs up and Greetings from Ireland! :)

[@CleanPhilWanted]

Thank you @Drone Girl ! I'd love to see some photos of his boxes if you are able to post them anywhere. Your channel re-sparked my desire for a drone! I was in the market for one before I left the US for NZ. I didn't go through with purchasing one yet since I wasn't sure of the laws over here regarding their frequencies. I've been here long enough so hopefully soon I, and my wife, will be flying one!

[@andrewooddotcom]

Inspiring :) Thanks for this video, I'd like to make one box like this one. Greetings from Warsaw, Poland.

[@kristophermarsh9400]

Well done thank you for sharing.

[@allenhunt3070]

Around hinges a pencil will give a tighter fit if you leave the line when you do the mortise. I enjoy your videos.

[@CleanPhilWanted]

yes that would have been a much better approach!

[@xxsMadmaNsxx]

I love it. Learned so much

[@MrBloodyBat]

That is beautiful!

[@robertbrunston5406]

Came out nice! Thanks.

[@jvidesmoreno]

Thanks for sharing, beautiful work

[@strange-universe]

That was a quick fun build, thanks!

[@CleanPhilWanted]

+usframe sorry for the delayed response but thank you USFrame!

[@michaelbradley8508]

very inspiring

[@DIYWoodworkingHobby]

Nice project, 3:22 what happen with your left hand? Thanks for sharing with us.

[@CleanPhilWanted]

Hi +Hobi Kayu, That is cheesecloth that's I wrapped around my hand. The Flexcut carving chisels I have are made of a strong but rather thin steel that digs into my hand. I'm slowly trying to callus it up my palm but until then, cheesecloth it is. I'll try to show a closer view of the v-chisel soon so there is a visual to this as well.

[@ericgilmore9734]

Can you post dimensions or a cut list? I want to make one for my GF mom, she would love this. Great work man and thank you

[@madechoo]

Excelente!!!

[@samhouston1288]

What kind of saw were you using?

[@JotatoTV]

I really like that box! quick question, what process do you use to sketch projects? it looks like you draw a triangle to help? I'm terrible at sketching but I want to get better. do you have any tips?

[@CleanPhilWanted]

Thank you +Jotato! So, I was just outside filming/talking my way through one of the drawings for you and my camera shut off... I just ran out of memory. Tomorrow I'll try again. So I apologize about the delay in answering you. Still, you should check out SunnySiuOnline. The one, two and three point perspective playlists that he has are the best ones on the subject I've run across. Those playlist contain short tutorials on 'measuring points'. Those are where all those lines are coming from.

[@nixonwu1754]

what size v tool would you recommend for a beginner?

[@JD_Fidler]

Did you pin the rabbet joints? Or did you use nails? Great piece btw!

[@CleanPhilWanted]

Well, trick answer to this, I did nail them but I glued them first. I'm pretty sure the originals of this were just nailed or pinned. I'm not really willing to spend 20 bucks on 8 rose head nails and I haven't found cut nails over here yet. ( I think most sane folks would think this way). So, I used cheap galvanized nails that were soft enough for me to texture the heads of with a ball-peen hammer. Even though I did nail them with those textured nails, they are more for aesthetic purposes then strength since I PVA glued the joints first. Being the grain is all the same direction on the sides I wasn't concerned with splitting from the glued joint.

[@duczman76]

😔 that shows me that i'm really screwed without electricity and power tools.

[@GMAN420BC]

A much better use for that box is to keep my cannabis. It would look perfect in the smoking room !
