Making a Bread Box Part 2

[@dalewilliamson1125]

Project looking good Ken, we are all human and make mistakes, very nice of you to show that and how to fix it. Can't wait for part 3. You sir are a craftsman, thank you for sharing!!

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

I'm just a guy that likes to cut wood apart and glue it back together in ways that make something useful Dale. I'm just lucky that I get to share all my work with you guys out there and that there is an audience for these shows and that people like yourself enjoy them. Thanks for tuning in. Always great to hear your comments.

[@pfoster2338]

This is taking shape very nicely. I have enjoyed watching the planning process of this build. Nice job adding the sliding dovetail.

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Thank you very much. I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying the series. I hope that you will tune in next week for the conclusion of this build. Great to have you on as a viewer.

[@Samberlong]

Another great video Ken, I am impressed with the patience you had with the misleading plans.

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

It would seem that I am becoming accustomed to working with misleading plans Robert. It just seems to be the way I roll. LOL. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

[@pcorlis]

Ken, don't worry about the number of videos to your projects, the level of detail is worth it. Honest opinion here, I like the modified curve on the front of the bread box better than the original...nice design change. Looking forward to part three. Paul / paulsmessyworkshop

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Thanks Paul. I can always count on you for your support and I appreciate that. The change in the profile was out of necessity but that happens sometimes in the shop as you already know. Thanks for tuning in again this week. Always great to hear your comments on the show.

[@willemkossen]

We found the human! Great progress! I like those sliding dovetails.

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

That "human" doesn't come out very often, but when he does, I have no problems having him on the show as a guest. I hate the programs that never show any mistakes. Everything is perfect. Who could ever live up to that? Especially a beginner in the craft. On my show, what you see is what you get, good or bad. Thanks for tuning in sir.

[@sumosprojects]

G'day Kenny, I wish I were sitting in a class learning the art of woodworking because as always your tutorial is thoroughly easy to follow & I hope that young kids at school aspiring to take on woodworking can view your content, as always take care & keep on making great videos Kenny, cheers 👍👍👍

[@robbiterry38]

hello, just wanted to say I love watching your vids. I have been woodworking for 35 years or more, and still love it. keep up the good work.

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Thanks Robbi. I appreciate the kind words and the compliments on the show. I started woodworking at about the age of 10 and I am 49 now. It's a great hobby that has given me plenty of enjoyment over the years and this show is my way of giving a little back. There's a reason that you don't see commercials on my show, it's because I have no desire to make money from helping people to learn this hobby. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

[@edstengel2495]

Beautiful work Ken, especially liked the tutorial on the templates and the sliding dove tails. Thank you. Ed

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Glad that you enjoyed it Ed. Thanks for tuning in and for taking the time to leave me a comment.

[@canadian.scrollworks]

Great video as always Ken. Looking forward to seeing the finished product. Love your videos.

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Thanks for the kind words Chuck. I'm always amazed at how many people enjoy my videos. It's very humbling actually because I don't think I'm any big deal. Thanks for tuning in this week sir. Glad you could make it.

[@briangriffiths937]

Looking good Kenny. I can vouch how these simple looking projects can stretch out for weeks. I'm making a blanket chest, (latest project on the boss's list). It's just a box with some raised panels, a lid and a base. That was 3 weeks ago. LOL BTW just got my plane kit, will be starting that soon I hope, just deciding what timber to use. Looking forward to the conclusion, all you need to do then is make some bread to fill it. Ha ha ha.

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I would love to have some bread to put in it. Maybe you could send me some. Good luck on the blanket chest. Be sure to drop me some pics of it when you are done. I would love to see it. Thanks for tuning in sir.

[@chemcody5119]

It's coming along nicely Kenny!

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Thanks very much Chem. I'm getting there. Definitely surprised by the amount of work involved in this project.

[@rileyg9150]

looking good ken

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Thanks Riley. Glad that you like it. Thanks for tuning in to the show and for taking the time to leave me a comment. It's very much appreciated.

[@opasworkshop8373]

great job Kenny I thought that turned out very nice I wish my bread box look like that.

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Thanks Opa. Hopefully, you will tune in next week when I finish this project up. We are in the home stretch now and there isn't much more to do. Thanks for tuning in.

[@dashinggade9394]

Love the bread box! Are you a guitar player? Don't forget the women who follow you. It's not just "boys". Lol. Again, the bread box is amazing. One day I hope to make one following your design.

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

My usual comment of the "guys" is just a general term. Glad to hear that there are a number of females that enjoy the show. Great to have you aboard as a viewer. You aren't the first one to comment about the guitar......I'm assuming that it's because of the long nails on my right hand. Yes, they are for playing stringed instruments. The finale of this build is only 2 days away. Stay tuned. Thanks for tuning in.

[@DrewToner]

Glad it's not just me that goofs up!! But you'll never make that mistake again!!

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

It is definitely not just you that screws up and I probably will make that mistake again. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Thanks for tuning in Drew. If I can't laugh at myself, who can I laugh at. Have a great one.

[@barryroberts6470]

Very interesting video Ken with those dovetails that were cut, plus that mistake of yours with the biscuit again, just goes to show 'Even the Master can Make a Mistake, but It's How Many the Pupil Makes that Counts'. By the way how did you know that i had an Uncle Bob ha ha. Speak soon my Friend, Barry (ENG)

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

For starters, EVERYONE has an Uncle Bob. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Yup, I make mistakes too and that's all part of learning on the show. I don't bother trying to hide my mistakes. They help to show that I am human too and even to experienced people screw up from time to time. Thanks for tuning in sir. Great to hear from you.

[@frankorona1]

It's getting amazing!

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Thank you Francisco. I appreciate the kind words on the show.

[@frankingram3382]

Hey, Kenny, you've got a good one going and it doesn't matter how many "parts" the video takes. I can already tell it's going to be great. I didn't notice something unusual in the background today but I did hear something weird. As you were showing the dovetail fit around minute number, 22:13-14, (man you think I don't pay attention) what did you mean by saying, "Bob 'ill be your uncle?" I don't miss anything. That just sounded strange. God Bless my friend and have a Blessed Easter

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

First off, thanks for the kind words on the show Frank. Second, I tried to think of a good explanation for the phrase...."Bob's your uncle" but I was having problems wording my explanation. I know, I know, hard to believe that I was at a loss for words. Either way, I ended up using mr Google and came up with this definition to explain..... ...And Bob's your uncle is an expression of unknown origin, that means "and there it is" or "and there you have it." It is commonly used in Great Britain and Commonwealth countries. Typically, someone says it to conclude a set of simple instructions or when a result is reached. The meaning is similar to that of the French expression "et voilà!" "Bob's your uncle" is an exclamation that is used when "everything is all right" and the simple means of obtaining the successful result is explained. For example: "left over right; right over left, and Bob's your uncle - a reef knot." Sometimes the phrase is followed with "and Nellie's your aunt" or "and Fanny's your aunt." It is sometimes elaborately phrased Robert is your mother's brother or similar for comic effect. I hope this clears it up and that it makes a little more sense now. I sometimes forget that my sayings that I use may not be familiar to some folks who don't live in the same areas as me. Thanks for tuning in and for taking the time to leave me a comment sir. It's always great to hear from you. Happy Easter to you as well.

[@chadlowrance3999]

Ha Ha, I got a big suprise when i built mine a week ago. i kept saying damn its a box what the heck is taking so long. crap happens, keeping it real

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

It's crazy the amount of time that this is taking. I thought for sure that it would be one, maybe two episodes......not a 3 part series. LOL. Who knew? Either way, thanks for tuning in Chad. Always great to hear from you.

[@billinfarmington5189]

Hi Kenny! I realize this was a long time ago but, I have to ask, why did you do the "bowl" shape for the door? I always cherish space and think I would have turned the tambour slots up so they would go inside the top piece some and then perhaps go down farther back. I realize you only have a 3.5" diameter but it would have given more space inside the box. Just curious. Being the lazy person I am, I would have likely used the biscuits for attaching the top. :o) Love your use of the scroll saw. I never know when it is going to pop up. I also learned a lot from your fitment of the dovetail and the slot. Regards, Bill

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

This isn't my design Bill. In fact, it is the recommended project that comes with the tambour bits so I was just following their dimensions. I like it's shape. Sometimes, an interesting piece that sacrifices some functionality is better than a boring "boxy" piece that keeps its full functionality in tact. I hope that made sense. Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words on the project.

[@billinfarmington5189]

@@acutabove_woodworkings That makes sense since I saw another YTer doing the exact same box. I wasn't suggesting a change to the outer box but rather just to the tracks inside. Did I mention I am slightly alergic to Oak? No red oak for me in the future. But, Beech perhaps. No, I already have a bread box with a tambour door that has ended up holding our Costco clear food wrap. Works great. Regards, Bill

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

@@billinfarmington5189 Beech and Oak....might as well be the same wood but just different colours.

All the dimensions are contained in the video series to be able to make your own. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

[@williamhoward8319]

do you like the incra miter guage my wife is geting me one for my 78th birthday

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

I absolutely love it. The accuracy is spot on and I've had it for quite a long time and even though it was pricey, I wouldn't trade it for the world. I say, go for it. You won't be disappointed.

[@williamhoward8319]

question where did you find the plans for the bread box ?

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

To be completely, 100% truthful, the plans came with the tambour router bits. They were included in the set as well as the handle for the tambour.

[@walterrider9600]

thank you

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

You're very welcome Walter.

[@chadlowrance3999]

Yeah man,answer this for me, i went in a primitive shop to steal an idea or two and the breadboxes like yours sales for $40. how can you make anything that takes that long so cheap. oh yeah a thing called CNC,no fun in that. thanks dude have a good Easter

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

The other way of course, is that they are using much cheaper material. $40 (after all the work that went into it) wouldn't purchase the tambour for the breadbox, let alone the whole box. The only other way that I could see to do it (other than CNC) would be to jig up and basically have a product line type of set up where you could make several of these in one go with no though process at all in doing it. Again, where's the fun in that? Happy easter to you to my man. Have an awesome one.

[@williamhoward8319]

i never use biscuits or dowels the glue semes to be good enough for the butt joint

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

That's the best part about woodworking William. For every task, there are many different ways to accomplish it and it is up to you to choose the method that suits you best. If you like the butt joint without dowels are biscuits, then good for you. Whatever work for you. Thanks for tuning in and for leaving me a comment. Merry Christmas sir.

six and twenty seven, thirty seconds inches. decimal system 174mm. i sell paint in litres but the tint is messured in 64ths of fluid ounces. i am frustrated. that is my story.

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

I can totally relate. I grew up in an educational system that promoted the Imperial measurement system. At some point the government said that metric would be the new standard but I already had Imperial on the brain. I couldn't lose the imperial but I couldn't escape the metric. Then started a trade where the measurements were all in Imperial only to have it plagued years later by the metric system but once again, I couldn't escape the Imperial embedded in my brain. I measure in inches and feet, I buy my fuel and milk in litres, I drive in kilometres but still refer to miles per gallon. I'm part of a mixed up generation. Thanks for tuning in. I hope you enjoyed the show, regardless of what measurements you use.

[@akulolomi9294]

All the part can be shown in one video on just 8 to 10 minutes by fast forward, why? boring!!!

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

There are two types of videos on the internet. One is a slower paced show like mine which teaches something and the other is a fast forward show that is nothing more than the person posting it showing what they made and it teaches nothing. If you are one that prefers the quick video, there are plenty of channels on KZbin that will provide that for you. Feel free to move along and watch those channels. If you wish to actually learn something, you can feel free to stick around. Regardless of what you decide, your rude comments are necessary. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
