Making A Miniature Chest of Drawers - bandsaw box woodwork project

[@WoodworkJourney]

I’ve seen that bandsaw before! 😁 I love going back to old videos 😊

[@SuperDataSafe]

No fancy $10000 machines, little mistakes here and there, a real diy project for amateurs who love to do things in wood but do not have a complete professional workshop. Love it, thumbs up. Turned out great. :-D

[@jeremyhood]

Dude, This thing is so cool! I so have to make one now. Thank you for sharing your troubles and mistakes and how you overcame them too. That makes it seem more achievable. Great video. Thank you.

[@knot10digits15]

Looks great, glad you never gave up on the project, keep posting

[@rogergreen2270]

That came out real nice. Thanks for sharing.

[@kamronhoolock7955]

In wood working there are no mistakes. only unintended design features

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Love that!

[@Scubadog_]

Just happy little accidents!

[@petersmith5199]

Super video, nice simple and concise. Glad to see another Brit is taking the time to show his work. Please keep it up. Thank you.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks a lot! :-)

[@zabummer]

This is what I like - creativity, and not doing things as others would ("hopefully only I will notice") ... who cares who notices, you built it for yourself, and it turned out a success. Keep going!

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

This turned out really great. Love how the box comes to life when you apply the BLO

[@dlwatib]

The rounded top is a nice touch. I'm glad you didn't give up and start over.

[@woodstoney]

It came out rather nicely for your first attempt! Good job!!

[@fredmott7086]

Nice work and very good presentation. Thank You.

[@MechanismBasics]

That is boss for a first attempt mate. Just getting going on my bandsaw and will try this. Keep going with your channel; it's quite inspirational.

[@shahabsaniei3288]

Awsome job Rag! Here is my input: Your fence is clearly moving at 06:56 You can also lower the band geleider to just right above the wood. That might help preventing the blade from tilting to left or right.

[@woodworkingandepoxy643]

I'm glad in the last 7 years you've given less music in your videos. It takes something away somehow but hard to explain. Also man your hair was brown at one time lol

[@cwhussey5432]

Sweet!!! Looks great and easy to follow video... thanks for the idea...

[@seaninfrared]

Wow! Nice job! I have recently gotten into woodwork, and looking out for ideas etc. We too have loads of scrap, so maybe I could make something similar! You've got yourself a new subscriber!

[@MonsMonsen]

You make fun and informative videos, keep it up!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

MrMonsen Thanks very much!

[@mihumus]

Really nice project!

[@henrysscrollsawworks6367]

good job i liked the way you explained in detail great job

Great work here, greater gift idea for my young niece so she can store her dollies' clothes. Cheers.

[@louisavevers9709]

wow this is awesome. it must have taken ages!!

[@sumandl]

It looks nice for your 1st one!

[@HJKelley47]

Fantastic first attempt! I would love it on my dresser.

[@SpeedysWoodshop]

Awesome project!!!

[@alisonhill2210]

Excellent video but the music is torture. Either knock it on the head, record Dylan asking for his tea or just go with the speeded up Alan Partridge Radio Norwich you used to have. Just saying.

[@PERRYS_PROPS]

great job. not flaws, character from hand crafting.

[@warrenbuitendag5286]

at first i thought "what an odd way to make a box with drawers!" but then i searched "band saw boxes" and i think i learned something. good job buddy!

[@FranksDIY]

Just inspired me to make my own. Thank you

[@attewell47]

I really like your videos, pace and info just right, very informative and a pleasure to watch...keep it up :>)

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you!

[@reginalawson8008]

I think it looks great!!

[@paulbignell6977]

really enjoyed the video, thanx

[@nucporter]

Love the use of scrap to create an heirloom. Should sign this somehow!

[@1whoFartsinthewind]

I found the blade position on the wheels and blade tension help control/eliminate drift.Hope that helps.

[@nucporter]

Using scrap to create an item of such beauty appeals to me.

[@halkester9368]

NIce project. Good choice of Oil Finish. You showed a simple technique of band saw cutting on the drawers more should learn from it. On the inside waste you made 3 cuts, one to each corner and then along the back, so easy on the band saw and yet so many try harder ways to get out the waste. Band saw with no fence is my go to tool for so many simple cuts. Try a 1/4 inch blade properly set and you won't switch. thanks I subscribing.. Hals Wood Shop

[@keefykeef]

Thank you for the kind comments and the tips, will try that out

[@harrydavis6903]

Well done. Enjoyed the vid.

[@TheGonzo1960]

it's a work of art thank you for sharing it

[@robertnavarrete3044]

turn out nice Mr Rags

[@highanddryful]

A very beautiful result. I find that drift is sometimes caused by the fact that the blade is not seated correctly on the apex of the tires. If the gullet of the blade sits on the apex it runs fine.

[@sethgonzalez1520]

slide the guide down to keep blade straight will salve your drift problem. guide should always be as close to project piece as possible . but looks real good. love it

[@luismartinez465]

What is the best belt to make bandsaw boxes? I'm a newbie

[@mycreationsworkshop3583]

Wow looks so nice well done :-)

[@JohnOSullivan_bray]

looks great

[@VincentHsia19681205]

Good work. I like it.

[@helshabini]

Cute box, out of scraps :)

[@johanouweneel]

Cool project! In the video you said you positioned the new bandsawblade in the middle of the wheel. That is fine as long as your teeth are sticking out in front of the wheel. If your teeth are on the wheel, with the tension on, it will push the setting outof your blade. And that causes the drifting of the blade. That said, well done!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks Johan I will check if the teeth are on or off the wheel next time I'm in the workshop. I don't have much experience with bandsaws so have a lot to learn!

[@planesstevee]

Rag n bone at 6.57 seconds your band saw fence moves mate, so i dont think its a problem with your blade mate, love your videos!!

[@larry5948]

Check out Alex snodgrass’ band saw video. A must watch for anyone who owns a bandsaw. Great build !!

[@ngayurRsung]

Amazing

[@duncansimpson5000]

for a first attempt you did good,

[@nucporter]

Love use of scraps to create an heirloom.

[@williamdonnelly8783]

Pretty good job ref the bandsaw blades you want to use tuff saw blades they are the best and makes cutting better.

[@coalitionofrob436]

Very nice

[@classic287]

That is very nice....

[@mrfateh6121]

wonderful

[@MrSpankymc]

Box is nice I like it , god damn drums drove me nuts

[@charliewood4158]

First time ? great job better than me

[@AlexM-vt5pu]

My bandsaw does the same thing. I have given up on using the fence at this point. Did you ever figure out what helps?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Alex M combination of a poor quality blade and not enough tension I think. I've since got a more powerful bandsaw too. But I recommend buying a blade from tuffsaw as that has made the biggest difference. They last ages and cut really cleanly. They're not a sponsor by the way I just really like them!

[@bobtuck575]

Nice work Rag :) Not sure I understand Johan's point about the blade position on the wheel? I always position the blade (on the top wheel....don't worry about the bottom so long as it aint gonna fly off!) so that the gullet of the teeth (the deepest part, or 'valley', of the tooth) are riding somewhere close to the crown, or centre, of the bandsaw wheel. Bandsaw drift should not happen....it's indicative of poor blade guide setup (keep 'em as close to the workpiece as possible), knackered blade or the wheels not being co-planer. Incidentally, cutting curves is a great way to blunt one side of the blade thereby throwing the cut off (or drifting).....try to keep a dedicated blade for curve work only.

[@КонстантинЦыганков-э2л]

What kind of wood used?

[@КонстантинЦыганков-э2л]

Sorry, I see now))

[@darencooper5786]

Have you considered revisiting this project on your new charnwood bandsaw? do you think the new bandsaw will do away with the same issues you had?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Daren Cooper I will at some point. My blade issues were solved as soon as I started buying decent quality blades (tuffsaw)

[@Cancun771]

My bandsaw looks exactly the same. It is a DeWalt though, which company I take it acquired Elu at some point in the past and kept producing and developing some of their designs for a time. (Also routers.) There were different bandsaw versions though. Mine has a three-phase motor and twin speed belt drive. It was set at the lower speed setting when I got it. That's not really fast enough for wood, I think it was meant mostly for cutting aluminium. Running the blade at a higher speed should also help with the drift since it should transport the sawdust out of the cut more quickly (if I'm not mistaken). 6:54 "Then the lade started to drift again for some reason" - Notice how that was the first _cross_-cut after those -_-rip-_--cuts that had gone so perfectly without drifting? ;-)

[@leo_brine25]

clap clap clap, amazing!

[@davewilliams355]

Mate, what's the max depth of the bandsaw? After buying one and need advice

[@garymcmartin2189]

I just want to thank you for your woodwork arranges [Link Here== *TopFineWoodworking .com*]. I have attempted a few different arrangements and most times I get lost on what to do. This is the least demanding and most basic arranges ever.?

[@infinitevegan8034]

good vid. good music

[@ahmadshaker0993]

perfect

[@danielfunk7769]

I am not sure how sped up this video is but slow down your feed rate when resawing also a taller fence really helps

[@Mr2at]

Nice vid, i like it. I've got the self same bench sander from machine mart. a very useful sander. i've also got the same makita orbital. Where did you get the bandsaw from?. Bandsaw box is none to shaby.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you. The bandsaw is by ELU and I bought it on eBay. I think the same saw is also sold under the DeWalt name but as one of their budget saws. It's not the best to be honest and may get upgraded at some point but does the job for now

[@muckshifter]

+Rag 'n' Bone Brown It's not the arrow, it's the Indian ... I enjoyed the video. :)

[@dlamb2840]

Love the music.

[@phillipwhite8377]

I really like the box your friend Philip white

[@negotiableaffections]

The resaw blade was a good idea, but I too find a bandsaw fence often worse than freehand. However I think you need a very fine blade [hence a smaller kerf] for bandsaw box work. Bet you've cracked it by now though [2018]

[@garethsharp4039]

That's a thumping bassline Keith. You ought to put a donk on your new videos :)

[@mjartanmatus2470]

[@markbeiser]

14:20 No, we call that "rustic". ;) I'm looking forward to trying something like this once the new trunion comes in for my new bandsaw... that I managed to tip over moving into place... before I even got to use it once...

[@mikefisher9992]

Nice project, but I agree with the comment about the music. I found it rather distracting and would prefer to just hear the sounds made by whatever operation you are carrying out.

[@ohdeasu]

hey. im a novice woodworker and i dont have a lot of knowledge and i certainly wouldn't think to give anyone advice but i think you may be getting drift because your guide is too high. i get drift too and i usually do what you do and just compensate for it but its usually corrected when i sort the guide out. but i have a little crappy bandsaw by clarke so im no expert. maybe its different between models of band saw. but like i say i know very little so take it with a pinch of salt i suppose. great video sir.

[@5ivestring]

+ohdeasu I'm no great woodworker either, but what I am finding out fast is good tools make all the difference in the world. Good luck on your adventure.

[@headknocker8999]

At 4:32 you damn near cut your thumb off.. Glad to see you using a push block later on..

[@headknocker8999]

I'm sure it was.. Still no need of that goofball to diss me.. He doesn't even know who I am or who he's dealing with.. I've forgot more than he'll ever learn..

[@slug182]

also at 9:34, that was not a very smart move, too close, thats how shit happens

[@purpleguitarpractice9413]

My thoughts exactly, that thumb should've never been that close to the blade...

[@BorntoMake]

I believe that the hardwood you used is sapele, but I am not a 100% sure.

[@MissLady-pq4hc]

Really nice. You are to hard on yourself.🙂

[@arvinclassics]

Good job! Had to turn the sound off because of the invasive sound track.

[@yasserahmed3126]

Really nice design. More time with the finishing and it would have been fantastic. Still like it :)

[@alexbacon1444]

if you had used that jointer on all the faces before glue up you would have gotten a better glue joint

[@johnedwards7547]

GOT a better glue joint

[@SteveFrenchWoodNStuff]

Nice job. The box came out well. I know all about them "design changes/features"! Hey, if you want a great, easier way to ensure your drawer dividers end up perfectly spaced and aligned, check out my video about making a band saw box with square corners drawers. I think you'll find it useful.

[@SteveFrenchWoodNStuff]

Actually. After seeing that you used tapered strips to fill the gaps above the drawers I'm thinking you may have already seen my video.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

I may well have seen it. I'm watching KZbin woodwork videos all the time!! :-)

[@nicksainsbury7152]

Wood 'n' Stuff w/ Steve French making drawers before gluing carcass back together could have saved need for gap filling bollock strips

[@SteveFrenchWoodNStuff]

+nick sainsbury - I don't think that would matter. The drawers are made from the wood cut from the carcass. The gap is the result of the saw blade's kerf. One could eliminate the gap by placing the between-drawer dividers closer together. But that would disturb the continuity of the grain. Plus, the gap fillers are cosmetic; they aren't a necessary addition. They just eliminate the gap and add visual interest. In most cases, the gaps in band saw boxes are perfectly acceptable.

[@cliffcarlo180]

Great tip, take off the clamps once the glue has dried......Damn it!...............now I know why my table saw, thickness planer and my bandsaw are totally fooked. Just kidding, you made a nice box there TFS.
