I’m absolutely blown away. 18 months in the making and what a result! The grain choice, the heart wood and sap wood tones, the Brusso hinges, the finish choice, and the pneumatic piston fit; absolutely amazing work. I’m sure I missed some details out of that list, but the whole thing was great. Oh, and your work shop, tools, and area you live and work are also superb too. Top notch video and very inspirational. Thanks for taking the time to film it, edit it and share it. All the best from the UK.

This is the best box-making project I have found on here. Excellent work.

[@RobRobertson1000]

I love the simplicity of the construction, as in how you incorporated the tray in as the alignment for the lid closing. Elegant!

[@TWC6724]

Absolutely perfect little box. Well executed. Love it. Really gorgeous oak wood there.

[@derekdd5229]

What a great work...

[@bbfurniturebuilds2432]

I find it interesting that you cut the groove for your drawer bottom first then you cut your dovetails. I will try this method next project. I like your work. very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Hermosa pieza Germán. Saludos.

The trick is to have $1000 worth of planes and $20000 worth of bandsaws.

German un saludo desde colombia, quiero saber de este cepillo (planer) o escofina que usas en este video. Entiendo que la marca es Veritas. Me gustaría comprarlo y saber como se hace esa guia de trabajo. Saludos soy un nuevo seguidor. Gracias por enseñar.

[@GuitarNTabs]

Excellent video, I really enjoyed the attention to detail! Do you happen to have the dimensions for the box? Thanks.

[@grantnelson7717]

Frustrating that the replies to questions are not public. I was interested in most of them, plus I was curious about the brand of hinge. And yes, beautiful work.

German, I have been growing my skills in woodworking for a couple of years now, but can only aspire to your craftsmanship. Stunningly beautiful. May I ask the name of the plane you use at 3.00 minutes? I have never seen one before. Regards, Derrick

Hola German, acabo de descubrir tu canal y me sorprende la pasión que tienes por tu trabajo! Una pregunta, ¿cuanto cobras por una de estas cajas? Saludos!

[@claudioruvalcaba102]

@@germanperaire7859 Muchas gracias por tu respuesta! ¿En los cursos que ofreces también enseñas a como valorar y en donde vender las creaciones? Me interesaría mucho aprender todo lo que haces, en verdad nunca había visto un joyero tan bonito como el tuyo

Ah safety sandles. Seen them in many a video involving large heavy bone crushing components

I know what you are saying but………………I’m 80 years old have still have all the OEM equipment working…………I have been guilty of not using eye protection, wearing open sandals, mowing the lawn in bare feet……….my kids catch me out all the time……….old habits die hard. All being said I am on your side, but I still live in the real world!!! Take Care!! Stavros
