Making A Bandsaw Box Desk Tidy

[@hotsnottatertot5451]

Beautiful! A way to "cheat" and get the drawer the same level as the outside is to put a thin piece of wood inside the back. Stops the drawer from sliding in to far.

[@colinwebber3582]

Hi, would just like to say that it is refreshing to watch someone create a piece, such as yours, without the assistance of Festool & Co........So many so-called amateurs on here these days have an inventory of tools etc that is just so unrealistic for 99% of people who enjoy the pleasure of wood. Your approach brings it all back to reality. Many thanks for your inspiration.

[@alastairmackay4589]

Lovely job. Those bandsaw boxes take a lot of hours!

[@StuffIMade]

Walnut and ply looks great with the red felt. Nice job!

[@Mr_Judge_Benny_Hinn]

I agree, good contrast...

[@Apafej627]

Mahogany

[@StuffIMade]

Yes sorry I did mean mahogany... doh

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Stuff I Made thanks Geoff. Looking forward to watching your foam cutting machine - I have a list of KZbin videos as long as my arm to catch up on!

[@donjohnson24]

A tip about cutting screws shorter - as on your brass handle. If you can find the right size and thread, put a nut onto the thread of the bolt before you cut and file the raw end. As you remove the nut, it finishes the bolt thread cleanly, making it easier to screw into the handle without cross-threading.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Don Johnson24 great tip!! Thank you 👍

[@miikka.granlund]

Very beautiful box you made! I just want to share a small tip for using felt or other fabric in projects like this. I have made couple of boxes with felt lining on the inside. The felt settles down very nicely when you cut a piece of dense cardboard to match each interior face and glue the felt to those pieces, wrapping the edges of the felt to the underside. Then glue the pieces to the box. This way the corners come out nice and tidy and don't unravel over time.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Miikka Granlund great tip, thank you

[@jimtrebes7926]

Neat idea. I restored a small 50 year old box and replace the felt about 6 months ago.. Next I'll use you suggestion.

[@stewartmcmanus3991]

That was good, very straight forward, thanks, Stewart south west Australia.

[@madpainter7114]

Nice work , just a bit of a tip , use Baltic birch plywood instead.

[@aaroncastellanos3421]

I really enjoy how you combine nontraditional materials together and make them synergize so well. Resourceful and classy. Great build, cheers from LA, CA, US.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Aaron Castellanos thanks!

[@FunoXXX]

Hahaha i love that you included that outtake. I can so relate to this ;-)

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+FunoXXX pesky compressor!

[@michaelchew4932]

Looks ace..... Bloody compressor always gets me too!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Michael Chew hahaaa

[@derekdodson5623]

Very interesting design. Thanks

[@thewhamji]

I just saw that outtake...I laughed at first, but then thought.. Damn, that could be dangerous in a workshop! You don't need things scaring you and making you jump, when you have so many dangerous and sharp things around you!

[@ianvicedomini2648]

A fine looking box Keith and now I've learned a bit about bandsaw boxes. Great video chap

[@letterfella]

This is my favourite thing I've seen you make! Absolutely stunning work!

[@user-oy4gf6ck5u]

Lovely and the red felt is awesome and one of my favorite colours!!!

[@iamlonefrog4252]

Killin' it bro! Making your own way in this crowded craft is no small thing, hats off to you. Thank you for such a well rounded project, from wood shop to youtube.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Iam Lonefrog thank you! It's just the beginning really, I've got a looong way to go before I can make a living, but it'll be fun trying to get there

[@Lord-Panda2112]

​@@RagnBoneBrown You got there though!!

[@wildadventures972]

gotta love the air compressor. Gets me way to often Loved the project looks outstanding

[@ScrewThisGlueThat]

Very Nice. Thanks for sharing.

[@AndyCPugh]

Nice! The combination of plywood and mahogany really works.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Andy Pugh thanks Andy

[@thestench1]

I've used flocking in the past on my bandsaw box draws, you can buy cheap kits on eBay, it's easy to use and I get great finishes 👍

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Jamie Ollivant may try that in future, thanks

[@bubbabeaty4801]

very nice. i enjoy your making

[@truthvirus]

Nice box. Well done. Instead of planning and chiseling the front to match the drawer, just put a stopper behind the drawer so it doesn't go all the way in.

[@Greg-fs8np]

This tip works. I have used it.

[@felixreali7101]

what a gorgeous project this is. I think I'm gonna have to get myself a ban-saw, just to try this out :-)))

[@chemcody5119]

Very nice Keith. I had the same issue with a band saw box I tried. Thanks for the solution.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Chem Cody thanks Chem

[@danielamishkovska2833]

Absolutely stunning

[@luckydubeinrc5165]

think i jumped higher than you when compressor kicked on LOL

[@Apafej627]

Very nice.

[@maderastudio8493]

Wow, great vid, love bandsaw boxes. That is what got me interested in woodworking. That is a great looking box, well done.

[@stevesiefken6432]

Nice work!

[@RobertSmith-zn5zc]

That was a beautiful job on the box in this video. I'm very interested to start making bandsaw boxes, and your video was a joy that watch and was a really good learning experience. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@atteljas]

Very happy that you make money wood working. 👍💪

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+atteljas thanks!

[@ReflectingMe2024]

Yes, Keith. Just yes. Wow!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+John Burns thanks!

[@bitgoblin8497]

lol Deep in thought and air compressor kicks on ..... yeah I know that feeling.

[@shifty277]

The eagle eyed viewer in me tells me top.you used to round the corners is a WD40 lid as I have one right here :) Great video and peice of work, cant wait to see the channel grow further, the more revenue that comes in from YT the more morivating projects can become to wack out weekly.

[@MadWilly66]

Great desk tidy (caddy, here in the US). I've been considering building a few for myself and family. I like your design elements and may be 'borrowing' a few of them! Well done!!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Chris Williams thank you!

[@WHCreations]

Nice work Keith. Glad to see your bandsaw was playing ball 😜

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+WH Creations thanks William. so far so good with mine anyway!

[@keithrocknrolls]

Very inspiring Keith, I need a bandsaw!

[@dlamb2840]

That, in my opinion was a superb and beautifully built project Keith and thanks for uploading it. I do wonder if epoxy was the best choice of adhesive for the felt? Not any criticism. I’ve just not used epoxy that much,but when have, found it to be very unforgiving when repositioning. Loved this upload Thank you.

[@michaelevans1658]

Nice job Keith.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Michael Evans thanks Michael

[@More-Space-In-Ear]

Another great project Keith, well done my friend. 👍🏼😊

[@Tomcom666]

Could you do it without that expensive band saw? I have dream to make things like that but I have no money. This is my dream. I love your videos. After long time I invest in same table saw. As first tool My story is sad but I don't want to tell.

[@DanielJAudette]

These type of boxes can also be done on the scroll saw. just do them in layers and then after you cut the layers all out then you glue them together! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmSogKqsm6mVi9k

[@DarkScarlettVixen]

My dad had an air compressor and it used to make me jump all the time! 😅

[@WheresMyPencilUK]

Nice build Keith and thanks for the bandsaw blade tips. I’ve got to get me one of those super fancy bricks you have!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Happy Wife Happy Life haha I have two in the shop, they're always useful! I'm in the process of sorting out my dust collection using your tips by the way! Finding reducers and adaptors is doing my head in!

[@WheresMyPencilUK]

Rag 'n' Bone Brown it’s a right pain getting all the connections. I used a combination of Amazon, eBay, screwfix and my belt sander to taper edges to get them to fit. Cloth tape helps too! One thing I’ve noticed is that the drum that collects all the dust fills up much quicker so I’m guessing it’s working.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Happy Wife Happy Life I actually bought the same drum as you but am having to return it as it won't fit where I need to put it... had to invest in a different air tight box

[@WheresMyPencilUK]

Rag 'n' Bone Brown that’s a shame it a really good drum.

[@AliDymock]

Got me thinking, do you fancy doing a vid on blades. Number of teeth, quality, price etc. I have a cheap table saw which struggles with thicker pieces of wood and leaves burn marks and I'm wondering whether upgrading the blade would make a difference but I wouldn't know what to. Just a thought :)

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Ali Dymock thanks Ali nice idea but I've never really used anything other than a combi blade with around 30 teeth so I'm no expert on that. Lower tpi is best for rip cuts maybe try that?

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

Turned out great!

[@Chris-vp9ht]

hi great job with the box looks great I have a question I also have a Charnwood bandsaw it's the 12-inch so the one down from you I've only had it a couple of week what I was wondering is do you have a problem with the blade once you've cut curves with the blade it won't cut straight again it's almost like zigzag could this be because it's just the standard factory blade that came with the saw did you have this problem any advice greatly appreciated

[@paulrossiter1635]

Check out Ian at Tuffsaws.co.uk - He will advise and supply the best blades for any bandsaw.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Christopher Pipes could be a number of things - it'll either be blade drift from too high a tpi blade, a bad quality blade, not enough blade tension or bearings not set close enough to the blade.... check out some bandsaw set up vids on KZbin and if you suspect it's the blade get one fromTuffSaw - not expensive but great quality blades

[@Chris-vp9ht]

thanks a lot for getting back to me I'll do that cheers
