Making a Watch Collection Display Case | Custom Watch Holders

Stunning watch box

[@bernierossi8062]

I’ve been making those watch insert/holder things for years. Very nice

[@jamesanderson9441]

Billy, For the brass screws, I predrill the holes as you but then I used the right sized Gimlet for the screw to thread the hole for the brass screw. A tab of wax on the screw and it goes in with out a problem. I have not twisted off a brass screw since I started using the Gimlets. You can purchase a set of Gimlets at Woodcraft for about six bucks. Worth the investment!

[@andrewlaughbon9468]

Ok how many expected the glas to shatter when he dropped it onto the brass? 😂 Still an excellent build. Good work.

[@jerrypowell784]

Beautiful work I wish I could build that good.

[@NewtonMakes]

Watch my latest video. I made another one and have an online class on my website showing how to make it!

[@dazlarg]

Stunning work my friend.. it looks amazing

[@NewtonMakes]

Thanks! It was a lot of fun.

[@grapplergirl10]

I jumped a little when you threw the glass on the boards 😂 ❤️great watch box!

[@boblasley5640]

Another great video Billy! I really like the combination of wood and leather! Brusso hinges are without a doubt the best brass hinges made. High priced, but worth every penny!!

[@derekdodson5623]

Wow! Turned out really well.

[@ParveencarpenterUchana]

Very good job

[@Stu81]

I wonder if oval handrail would be a good size for the watch pillows 🤔 it has the right profile I guess

[@UGA.D]

WOW! That's AWESOME!

[@dariushmilani6760]

Excellent presentation and a great project . You made a right decision to go with the quality hinges. Liked and subscribed. 👍

[@elizabethwatson71]

On the next one, I’d love to see you use carnauba wax. A nice good buff, then amazement on why you’ve never done this before. The depth it gives the wood is amazing

[@ezequielortuno1278]

Nice box nice dad shoes

[@TheRealMafoo]

As a woodworking project, this is really great stuff! You did a fantastic job. As a box to hold watches, it could use some improvement. For one, there is no play in the watch holders themselves. This means if your watch is on a bracelet, it needs to be the perfect length to fit snug, but not be too tight. for watches on a strap, it doesn't matter as much. Also, the only way to get the watch out is to grab it by the head. This is ok, but with the added weight of the holders themselves over just pillows, it means you might end up dropping your watch if it slips out of your hand. I really like the hard sides to the holders though, that's pretty cool. It secures the watch in the middle. If you ever make another one, I suggest making the middle wood to the holders a lot smaller, and then adding a piece of foam around it, along with the leather. Also, while more work (cnc would make quick work of it), finger holes in the dividers would be awesome. You don't see this on watch boxes, but they don't have the wood around the holders like yours, that secures the watch into the middle of the hole.

Thanks

[@NewtonMakes]

Thanks so much!

[@StardustLegacyFighter]

I thought about getting one of these for my watch collection, but for me protection is much more important than having a display. I think this would be a great option for private watch dealers, who like to show off their luxury watches to potential buyers.

[@anthonydtobias]

Nice job man! Brass splines were a great choice... brass and Walnut looks great together. Now you just need more watches and girl scout cookies

[@anthonydtobias]

@@NewtonMakes I understand...we all have our weakness 😂

[@CustomCraftedDesigns]

Wow great work

[@trustno1785]

LOL! " I Don't even own watches" just great dude!

[@nasarazam]

Love it

[@kc2sc]

Nice job... loved the step by step. Don't know about the rave music🤔

[@FXAllThingsFun]

I am a woodworking enthusiast and watch collector. I am spot on in this venn diagram

[@NewtonMakes]

Then, this video was meant to be.

[@treycalcutt5031]

The brass really turned out awesome! The corner keys set off the brass screws. Everything went together really well. Was your table saw fence factory or aftermarket? Thanks abs keep videos coming.

[@jasonfredricks7224]

Could you elaborate a bit more about how you did the divider pieces? Specifically how you got the measurements for each cut width and depth and made them all exactly the same so they fit so nicely? I’ve been meaning to make a big wall shelf thing using the same technique of those (half lap I think?) joints for the shelves so they all lock together and make little squares for the kids to display various rocks and small items in.

[@jamiecornwell7479]

your project turned out awesome! looks like the jig worked well for the splines. any plans available for that?

[@NewtonMakes]

Well, you are in luck! Check out my latest video in which I show exactly how to make that jig, including the dimensions. 👍

[@johnhayes6414]

I like the glass. The pillows don't look soft enough. Maybe few more layers

[@Bearded-Viking-WoodWorks]

What’s the exterior dimensions?

[@johnpiano5226]

Curious to know if the leather you used was vegetable-tanned or chrome-tanned? if it is chrome tanned over time it will discolor the metal on the watch bands..

I liked your attention to detail very much since I have a small case of OCD 🙂 and there are some things that bugs me. But you ticked all the boxes 👍🏼 I didn’t like the solution for holding the glass in place although I haven’t thought of any better solution yet... hey, but at least you used brass screws 😉

[@NewtonMakes]

I also tried to have the screws turned the same direction so they match. 🙃

[@koalafan1576]

Girl Scout cookies are like chips. You can’t have just one 🤤 Also like crack. You eat one and you’re addicted 🤷‍♂️

[@NewtonMakes]

It's true. You should need a prescription. Gotta ration that stuff out.

[@naughtymark7372]

That is awesome mate, would love one of those, great job 👍

[@NewtonMakes]

Thanks! It was a bucket list project. I always wanted to make one so I'm thrilled that I finally got the chance.

[@jzco5513]

What pencil are you using?

[@bobsherunkle4591]

Hi Billy, how do you know how high to set the blade when cutting splines, so that you don't just cut into the inside of the box? Do you do any calculations or just estimate it and creep up if the cut is too low? Edit: Also, why do you sometimes cut mitres with the blade at 45* (with a straight fence) versus sometimes with the blade at 90* and an angled fence? I'm totally new to woodworking but hoping to understand these things! Cheers

[@NewtonMakes]

Good questions. I'm going to release a multi video tutorial on this project that explains every step in detail. To briefly answer the questions, set the blade height so it isn't higher than the half of the thickness of the wood. I prefer to cut my miters by pivoting my miter gauge. But the blade is only so tall. If I need to cut a board taller than the blade then I have to lay it flat and tilt the blade instead.

[@jamiecornwell7479]

I was trying to see what the adhesive was that you glued the brass in with, does it say stick fast? just curious! I bought some padauk off the internet and am going to attempt to copy your project... thank you!

[@NewtonMakes]

I used medium thickness ca glue. Stick fast or starbond work well. I think links are in the video description. I think...

[@jasongrandy4190]

What would something like that sell for?

[@dazlarg]

What thickness did you make the box sides in the end?

[@NewtonMakes]

I don't remember off the top of my head. About 3/4" I think.

[@everettbonine8398]

How would I find the plans for this box?

[@NewtonMakes]

Working on them now. No estimated time though. They need to be right.

[@stephaniescreationsllc]

@@NewtonMakes did you ever post the plans?

[@fonchoql]

Someone have the measures?

[@MrSloika]

I hope you used tempered glass for the top.

[@mohammadfaysal8688]

What is the length and width.pls reply

[@NewtonMakes]

Check out my website or the video description for more details.

[@Kennadi-ws]

Can you make me a watch box like that

[@flippinzippo9670]

I know guys who would pay big for these..

[@Martin-pb7ts]

It looks like you've got 14 watches you need to buy....

[@JackMoskowitz]

Great video. Obnoxious music.

Fala muito e demonstra pouco.
