Making a Ring Box Out of Cocobolo

[@daxhinton7660]

By far the coolest build I've seen for one these boxes. Simple but elegant, with alot of cool touches . Saved the video....maybe one day

[@Kylowrench]

That trick for eliminating snipe is so obvious but so genius! I've never thought of it and I haven't seen it anywhere else Great project, amazing work !

[@jefferyatkisson7781]

I seriously never considered that to eliminate snipe in a planer! I can't wait to try it.

[@parillaworks]

Thanks Collin! I usually don't use that trick because I can afford to have a few extra inches of material to cut off. But with this wood was to expensive for that. Thanks for your comment!

[@848designs]

A crayon is definitely my go to precision woodworking marking tool.

[@parillaworks]

Probably the only thing in my shop I can sharpen well.

[@Walter-fc3uq]

DA Designs plus it can be a snack too. :-)

[@thefudgestix]

Holy, that block of wood is such a beautiful colour!

[@parillaworks]

Cocobolo is some crazy nice wood!

[@colmdalton8511]

I have no idea why but this is the most spectacular piece I've ever seen. Absolutely in love 😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@parillaworks]

Thanks a lot!

[@TheSoulCollector13]

"You can use Microsoft paint, or, a crayon." 😂😂😂😂

[@jaemelo2693]

Jesus Christ, each one was more degrading then the last lol

[@lukechillin6226]

Lol. Can't forget that

[@justinpaquin5308]

That ring box is the most amazing thing ever!!Hopefully get to do something like that in wood at school for my girlfriend. Definitely saving this video to do this one day. Good work man

[@parillaworks]

Thanks Justin! Hopefully you get it build one day!

[@yardlimit8695]

beautiful,,,,,,,,,,,,,,simple elegant ,,,,,,,,,,,thanks for the idea...........nice job...........

[@logan101988]

Amazing work man!! Never thought a simple ring holder could look so good.

[@vincelindataylor4168]

Hope she loves the box!!

[@BrodeySheppard]

HHAHA this guy's commantary is on point! "Here is me pretending to hold a peice of lumber", "you could use paint or a crayon" and the entire time he sounds high af. VERY entertaining.

[@johnconklin9039]

Very nicely done. The continuous grain looks great.

[@parillaworks]

Thanks John! I was concerned the table saw kerf would malign the grain continuity but I think the chamfers did a good job of fixing that.

[@yoanngrange]

Lovely piece of work and piece of art.

[@parillaworks]

Thank you very much Yoann!

[@DylansDIYWorkshop]

Love the final look of that and the satisfying click of the magnet

[@parillaworks]

Thanks Dylan!

[@johnthompson3462]

Excellent project. Will be using that idea next year. Thanks

[@parillaworks]

Thanks John! Good luck!

[@EnderLord007]

Looks a bit like a zippo lighter

[@heyimamaker]

Cool trick with the planer! Also the final product is really cool!

[@parillaworks]

Thanks!

[@anamonterroso3498]

Lovely 😍 👌 thank you so much!!!

[@carmonacrafts1972]

Picked some of this wood out last week holy crap it is hard to carve!!!!

[@kaankonyalioglu]

I just wanted a wooden zippo cover after seeing this!.. pls do that!..

[@FelipeDelPapa]

Great simple design!

[@parillaworks]

Thank you Felipe!

[@BasicallyAChicken]

ever thought of doing a fine silver inlay? with the dark wood i think it would look great

[@arturowatson]

Stellar work as always John!

[@parillaworks]

Thanks a lot Art.

[@johnh2o1]

I made a jewelry box out of cocobolo for my wife and turns out I am very allergic to this wood, glade I got my eyesight back!

[@parillaworks]

Cocobolo and some other exotics get me kind of stuffy...I definitely use my mask more with those woods.

[@Thom4123]

Awesome job and a beautiful ring box.

[@parillaworks]

Thank you Thom!

[@garnerloudermilk1710]

you listen to the chipmunks while you wood work....=P love the video...great work!

[@parillaworks]

Lol thanks Garner!

[@sigispierings736]

Love it. Definitely gonna try this.

[@parillaworks]

Thank you Sigi!

[@nekynil]

Excellent job.

[@WhoNoes]

great project, makes me want to build one. Thanks

[@CLyonsCreations]

Very sharp design!

[@Kai-Infinity]

Nice ring box!

[@grantlee77]

Hey there ! I discovered your channel this WE. Everything you create is just awesome. Keep up posting videos of your work.

[@parillaworks]

Thanks a lot grantlee.

[@michaelweston6083]

1:48 that is the exact date my father passed away.

[@simonsb9469]

Sehr Edel gut gemacht

[@MultiTom1956]

Beautifully done!

[@alvindueck8227]

Looks a lot like a wooden Zippo lighter. Like a really expensive wooden Zippo lighter. Nice wood

[@bevannlew3145]

Wedding ring bow ide

[@mikepenson5252]

Nice work! Our first anniversary is coming up in Oct and this just gave me the idea of a thoughtful handmade gift. Just need to design one to make it my own!

[@parillaworks]

Thanks Mike! Good call...hopefully you come up with something cool! That reminds me...my anniversary is in September. I better get to work!

[@tomsdreamshopworx]

Great little box! Not sure if you've tried this before but with the fostner bit and your drill press you can do many overlapping holes and get rid of a lot of those little triangles as you call them. They make some very small barrel hinges that you might try on the next one. It might allow you to mount two hinges to stop it from racking. Try searching pen box hinges. I enjoy the pace of your videos and the great stills at the end.

[@parillaworks]

Thanks for the great comment Tom. Pretty helpful tip with the forester bit. You know, I've tried those tiny barrel hinges and had such a hard time installing them let alone finding a drill bit that actually matched the diameter. I think I tried every increment of 64th of an inch as well as millimeters and still couldn't get a nice snug fit. Anyway, maybe I'll give them another shot one day. Thanks again for the comment.

[@AaronReynolds89]

Just found this, have you looked at "letter gauge drill bit sizes"? A lot of kits will require a letter sized bit which actually exist between the metric and 1/64 increments. Gauge:A Inches:0.234 Metric (mm):5.944

[@benjaminsantiago7802]

Wow, that looks very nice, great work. I might do something like that some day. Keep up the good work!

[@parillaworks]

Thanks Benjamin! Give it a shot...they're fun little projects.

[@1travis2]

Lol your sence of humor is perfect

[@parillaworks]

Lol thank you Travis!!

[@opasworkshop8373]

Excellent job my friend Looks awesome.

[@parillaworks]

Thanks Opa!

[@luclachapelle8065]

Good music choice, jack Johnson is where it's at!

[@parillaworks]

Thanks Luc! I have his new album on loop in the shop.

[@luclachapelle8065]

parillaworks looks like you and I have something in common!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Very cool! I like the design.

[@parillaworks]

Thanks Bruce!

[@PINKFL0YD-s2h]

Really nice

[@OneWoodAuwoodworking]

Great project thanks for sharing

[@parillaworks]

Thanks Warren!

[@mizraimgonzalez6865]

This is a great job man. I have one question. Is there a reason why you didnt use the cnc for the holes as well?!

[@badhonebrahim7707]

ohh, its a ring box, nice one... how bout make a same kind of box for SD cards would be nice..

[@parillaworks]

Not a bad idea!

[@badhonebrahim7707]

pls man, make one would be so nice...

[@cliffcarlo180]

Very nice ring box. When I first saw the pic, I thought it was a case for a Zippo lighter. Damn! did I just give you an idea? lol

[@parillaworks]

Thanks Cliff! The zippo was one of the inspirations for the design.

[@woogaloo]

"Or a crayon" hah! Great video. The end product turned out well. You could also try some Rub N Buff if you ever wanted to get some color in the CNCed area.

[@parillaworks]

Lol thanks Matthew! I'll have to give the rub n buff a try next time.

[@josepcb2882]

Muy bonito saludos desde Barcelona Catalonia

[@DavidANeely]

Prwtty kool man nice work

[@TorkahPC]

"But you can use ms paint or a crayon" cracked me up. Nice little box :)

[@parillaworks]

Lol thanks Waul.

[@sumandl]

Beautiful! I really like your work. Keep it up 👍

[@parillaworks]

Thanks a lot!

[@roancantoni4174]

Sei un master!!!!!!!!

[@dustyhush]

nice work

[@adamtoth7474]

What size magnets did you use? Neodymium? Magnets can be tricky if they are to powerful or not powerful enough

[@parillaworks]

1/8” x 1/8” neodymium. They don’t have a ton of strength but the hinge is fairly tight anyway.

[@adamtoth7474]

@@parillaworks thanks

[@TrotterG]

Cool video, thanks for sharing! Any pointers on where to get tiny little latch magnets like that?

[@parillaworks]

Thanks Grant. I think I got them on amazon a while back. They're 1/8" x 1/8" neodymium magnets. Came in a 100 pack.

[@TheMrFloozies]

Thought it was a lighter. Cool project

[@nscr2]

Great job, looks like a zippo

[@parillaworks]

Yup!! Thanks!

[@maxvangeel871]

Love the vids !

[@parillaworks]

Thanks Max!

[@gwadaflat]

a beautiful zippo lighter 😉👍🏽

[@kevincondon1304]

Haha a crayon I laughed pretty hard at that 😂

[@donyportillo8880]

I need some help, I can get the hinge to open the lid right. How much space are you leaving at the end of the box for the hinge to actually work?

[@parillaworks]

I haven't made any of these boxes in a while but I from my drawing it says the center of the hinge is 0.27" from the end of the box.

[@jean9910]

Lol the statement about pretending to choose a piece of wood was epic

[@Carlson_without_motor]

Cool box! Where I can take such loops for opening?

[@parillaworks]

Thank you! Maybe there was an error in translation but I think you might be asking about the hinges. They're 10mm barrel hinges.

[@Carlson_without_motor]

parillaworks, thank you!

[@MomusFilms]

Terrific

[@woodywoodworkerfuller9921]

Nice !!!!

[@moonsofourmother2815]

oooo me likely likely Coco Bolo!

[@KmeierGaming]

What size bit did you use for the barrel hinges?

[@parillaworks]

I believe they were 10mm barrel hinges so I used a 10mm drill bit. The hinges can be expanded to fill the hole for a firm fit.

[@doublebulbing]

do you have the infeed and outfeed tables for the 735 planer they would not have helped with the small pieces but normally when people complain about snipe on that planer they we doing longer pieces and not using infeed of outfeed tables

[@parillaworks]

Good call. Ya I've been meaning to buy those attachments but haven't gotten around to it. In the back of my head I'm hoping a big floor standing planer pops up on craigslist for me to snag.

[@doublebulbing]

well the 735 is a great machine if you are stuck on 120 volts like I am but if you have 240 then yea watching the used market and buying something bigger is probally the smart thing to do You could always make wood one for the dewalt but why when the DW7351's are 43.64 shipped ply wood would cost about that to build something The good thing is they pop on and off easy so if you need the space savings they are great not being fixed like my drum sander extensions that bug the hell out of me my 16/32 sander that thing takes up way too much room

[@africancichlids3011]

you should make some zippo lighter cases , walnut that would sell good . i mean make the actual sleeve they insert the lighter portion . not a box to protect it , cool build

[@parillaworks]

Not a bad idea!

[@koosh6876]

parillaworks i second this idea

[@JulianDoIt]

Looks 👍

[@duongdethuong]

Awesome

[@bubugugu9313]

Hello! Write me please, from where did you buy this hinge? Thank you!!

[@parillaworks]

Hi Bubu. I bought it locally but you can search for "boss barrel hinge" to find something of similar or better quality. I used the 10mm version but there are other sizes.

[@tamariae7155]

I misread the title. I thought it said Chocobo XD

[@opcn18]

Seven and a half years ... don't want to rush into anything too quickly now...

[@timk282]

considering something similar for my to use....where did you get those magnets?

[@parillaworks]

I got them on amazon some time ago. I think it was a 100 pack of 1/8" x 1/8" magnets. I use a 7/64" bit and press fit them.

[@timk282]

parillaworks thanks for the quick reply. Can't seem to find them on the Canadian version of Amazon. I'll keep trying.

[@dakotafarmer1437]

What were final dimensions for the box?

[@parillaworks]

It was in the neighborhood of 2" x 4" x 0.875". I think it was a little under 2" x 4" or so.

[@travise.chittum3675]

What song are you keeping on repeat in the background? Lol.

[@parillaworks]

Well the sped up audio all sounds like chipmunks. But I do usually keep one song on repeat each day I work but I'm not sure which I listened to during this build.

[@jorgenlannock]

very nice. cocobolo is african wood?

[@parillaworks]

Thanks! I believe its from Central America.

[@timothyraymond5942]

Is there any way I can convince you to make one for me? I'm a skilled Carpenter myself and I love working with wood, I just don't have access to the tools it takes to make something like that.

[@parillaworks]

Sure! Shoot me a message or email and we can discuss.

[@timothyraymond5942]

parillaworks okay, what's your email?

[@triune_blades]

His idea for mitigating the wandering of the band saw blade was genius! Btw, what is the technical term for this? I can't seem to remember...

[@parillaworks]

Thanks! I would consider it a zero clearance jig or insert. It makes cutting smaller pieces easier and safer.

[@loading876]

Better call Saul

[@nultari1]

that desk was probably so damn expensive

[@KrayKray657]

Kittycatcarlos 7 you called

[@ComicClub01]

Just discover your Vids, Great work Man. But it seems to be difficult to get the ring out of the Box. Holding between two layers of Felt . You have always to "shoot" him out, or shake the Ring out of the Box

[@benmcgreevy5950]

ComicClub01 what are you talking about? Why would you shoot the ring? Haha

[@ComicClub01]

The Box is way deeper than a ring. The groove is so smal that the Ring will not fall around and is hold between the layers of Felt. But when you push the Ring totally into the Box, you cant touch him, nomore ? so you have to shake the Box, or tap it (Like Cigarette Boxes) to make "shoot" the Ring out of the Box. Maybe I m in Error, but that was what I was thinking about first.

[@MarkHanford]

The solution is simply to not push the ring totally into the box.

[@parillaworks]

Sorry I didn't answer your question earlier. The holes are only an inch or so deep, maybe less. The ring would bottom out before the stone is fully "submerged."

[@i.bcraftsman5977]

Cooooool

[@ScottHampshire]

What CNC do you use?

[@parillaworks]

It's the Shapeoko XXL with the Dewalt router. I've realized the XXL is overkill and takes up too much space in my shop. Would probably get the XL if I did it over again.

[@saito1975]

how did you get the hinges??

[@parillaworks]

I think you can get them on Amazon. Look for Soss Barrel Hinges, 10mm.

[@ramakreatif3944]

very amazing, how proud if I could be as great as you. my work is far from yours. Greetings from a hobby

[@SpencerBelanger207]

Subbed

[@zinar7]

What is the name of the tool used at 04:42?

[@parillaworks]

At first just a bench chisel then a round rasp sometimes called a rats tail I think. And the clamp is a wood screw clamp.

[@lucasvieirademello8169]

Does anyone know the "song" on 0:55?

[@parillaworks]

Pina Colada Song by Jack Johnson. :)

How much if i want you make one for me..i'm from malaysia.

Email me at [e-mail] if you're interested in purchasing one.

[@rvbah1174]

what song is playing in the background at the 7 min mark it's really bugging me, its so familiar but idk?

[@parillaworks]

That is 'First' by Cold War Kids I believe.

[@jpmion]

'Cause if you liked it, then you should have put a ring on it

[@толяпупкин-ж3б]

если есть возможность переводи

[@ceylanozturk]

as for me, the box is more expensive than ring 😅
