making a wooden box using the bandsaw

[@AquamanIV]

I think this is one of the most textbook example of using safety that I have seen in a woodworking video in a long time. great video!

[@BlessedLaymanNC]

I've been watching a lot of bandsaw box making videos over the last 24 hours. I think they are really "sanding boxes" that happen to be cut out by a bandsaw. ;) I love your video. Thank you for sharing.

[@TomStratton]

I'm not usually a fan of bandsaw boxes Fabian, but I like this one. You worked hard for a pleasing result! Cheers Tom

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Tom Stratton Thank you Tom, I appreciate it :)

[@randymorris765]

Wow! Once again you do your magic! You take a tree stump and find a beautiful box inside! Thank you Fabian!!!

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Thank you Randy! Appreciate it!

[@mark261166]

That has to be one of the best video's and most attractive band-saw box's I have seen. Thanks for sharing.

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Thanks a lot :)

[@orcasea59]

Very nice! I love your improvisation; one doesn't need a room full of expensive machines to produce beautiful work.

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Thank you very much

[@AdventuresInDIY]

Beautiful box Fabian!

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

AdventuresInDIY Thank you :)

[@vladimirflocea5917]

Electra Beckum band saw - I use one of the same producer - BAS 250 model. And I am impressed by the way you manage to do a beautiful piece of art with some very basic tools - small bandsaw, drill press and sander. Great!!! You really don't need that supercharged workshop to make nice things! Its only the matter of inspiration and attitude. Bravo!!!

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Thank you! I appreciate that a lot :)

[@SuperYtviewer]

Beautiful box. Love the sanding. The design and glue up was great, but the SANDING wow. I love the figure of the wood but with out the SANDING it just was a box. Thanks for sharing all of the Sanding techniques. Your wood choice was great and I'm sure the recipient will appreciate all of the SANDING that went into this project. Have a great day. :-)

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

SuperYtviewer Thanks :) I know I should have shown more of the sanding!

[@SuperYtviewer]

Fabian's Tiny Workshop I guess you could re-title the project; "Sanding your way to a box." or "Finding the box in Apple Wood by Sanding." Until the next project, keep on sanding. :-)

[@CarlJacobson]

Wonderful job Fabian, that's a beautiful piece of wood too.

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Carl Jacobson Thank you Carl :)

[@richiethewles4267]

Enjoyed your video Fabian, going to attempt this next. Richie.

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

+Richie Thewles Thanks a lot Richie

[@oaksho]

That is a really nice band-saw box, the simple design gives it a real stylish look. Great video Fabian. All the best Tony

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

***** Thanks a lot Tony.

[@BigRonxxxx]

Fabian that's a great looking box made from some beautiful wood very well done

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Ron Sanford Thank you Ron

[@anthonypayne6032]

I love it . I like your small mini shop.

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Thank you!

[@davidgouin8420]

Pretty sharp there Fabian!!!

[@dscritter614]

Now, repeat after me, "I love sanding". Great video.

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

😄😄😄😄

[@sonyapayne2622]

Awesome , this is the perfect tutorial video, thank you so much.

[@TheChrisPineWorkshop]

Nice work! Beautiful wood and box!

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Chris Pine Thank you very much

[@roblaw2850]

Thats Awesome and fantastic to see quality work from a smaller workshop with sort of tools normal folk have love it you have inspired me Thank you

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Thanks Man, Appreciate it!

[@roblaw2850]

+Fabian's Tiny Workshop I am ill at moment but as soon as fit enough I'm out there had to sell my big lathe and down size due to disabilities but these little projects have given me something to think about

[@GreenArrows0705]

Your design and the grain in the wood go together perfectly! Very nice project. I still haven't made a bandsaw box.... Take care, Brett

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

GreenArrows0705 Thank you Brett :)

[@raywalton6470]

Excellent instructive video. I never would have come up with that method on my own Thanks!

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

+Ray Walton Thanks for watching, I'm glad you like it!

[@ippolitofred]

Beautiful work and beautiful wood. Thanks for the video.

[@mist4926]

Wow love it! But how do you do those turns for the inside? Yo must need a thin blade

[@martinvickers1954]

Nice box Fabian it's given me a great idea on the way to make a beautiful box for my neice

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Thank you Martin. I'm glad you like it :)

[@urban-goupil-71]

very good job!😊👍

[@MightywoodNet]

Looks really great, Fabian.

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Mighty Wood Thank's a lot :)

[@workhardism]

That apple root is a very handsome wood. Especially with the Danish oil.

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

It sure is :)

[@TheHusvargen]

Very nice! I didn't know applewood could be that nice :-)

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Inger Nilsson Thanks :-)

[@charleyandsarah]

Lovely work! Such a pretty box.

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Slowvannah Farms Thank you :)

[@k.b.woodworker3250]

Beautiful! The simple design shows off the wood perfectly! You have many different sanding devices that attach to your drill press, as well as others that don't. It made me wonder if one could use a metal woodworking scraper on some of it.

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Thank you! I do have a scraper but on erratic wood grain like this it's better to use a sander than a scraper.

[@leonardwilson980]

Nice box and a very good video

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

William Castleberry Thank you

[@petersmith5199]

I need to give that a try! Very good idea with a super result. Thank you.

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

peter smith Thanks a lot

[@IdRatherMakeItMyself-Net]

Nice job! It looks fantastic.

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Mark's Workshop Creations Thank you

[@chrislomax2234]

I like how you do all your sanding by mounting the belt sander upside down i do the same thing lol it works great. I dont have a lot of room and it works great. Love the box!!!!!!!!!

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Cheers! Glad you like it!

[@spidifilerijder]

Very nice. It gave me some ideas. Thanks.

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

+Bob Craen Thanks :)

[@rogerd1685]

Now that's Beautiful. Great job.

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

[@johnmartin6195]

Very nice work Fabian and beautiful box .... I'm going to try it . But the back ground music , a bit boring . Thank Fabian for that video

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

+John Martin thanks for watching and commenting!!

[@jimpulcine9925]

Very cool. I have tons of cherry burrell's, this will be a project I will definitely make. Nice job

[@Timsww]

[@manuelgonzalez-wy2bn]

final product......a marvel of craftsmanship .....something boring,,,,,,,,,,,,,,sanding and music..........well done buddy!!!!!!!!!!!

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Thank you :)

[@kotcherd]

Really nice box ... and I can use the tools I already have.

[@bryanbrothers7503]

What an amazing box. Love it.

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Thank you so much!

[@horsetowater]

it's lovely How fast is your bandsaw? or is it a sticky / old blade? just seems a lot of burning but then I've never worked with apple root

[@matthewharper170]

wow, beautiful box. are any of those log slices going to be turned on that new lathe of yours?

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Matthew Harper Thank you :) Perhaps, but I fear this wood is to hard for the small lathe.

[@wlnjr]

I truly love the simple elegance of the box. Can you direct me to the template, please?

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Thank you! Sorry I did not keep the template.

[@knivesstuff]

Very nice box!!

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

knives&stuff Thanks

[@ziggydog24]

Looks really good and I see you shop at Lidl, Parkside Sander. Good video

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

+ziggydog24 Cheers! Glad you like it!

[@sidon100uk]

Great box, what bandsaw is that?

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Simon Harman Thanks :-) It's a small Einhell BT-SB 200.

[@syntaxname]

Great vides Fabian. Beautiful box. Question, did you age the wood at all? Or was it "green"? Thanks!

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Nouser Unrecognizable Thanks, no it was not green.I had the stump for about two years in my backyard and I actually cut it last summer.

[@ChamberlainCody]

Beautiful box! What bandsaw is that

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Thank you! It's a Einhell BT-SB 200.

[@Shaka_Vibe]

Very cool.... I love that wood! What did you use to make that template. Trying to find something easy to use for templates like that. I'm no photoshop guy.

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Joseph Muench Thanks! I used Open Office Impress, works like Power Point.

[@RookieMistakes0607]

its gorgeous looking. What wood is it? I know its said in the video but cant quite catch was is said.

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

RookieMistakes0607 Thanks, it's Apple root wood.

[@RookieMistakes0607]

Ah ok, thanks very much. Beautiful

[@AdventurespotNZ]

Bandsaw and belt sander only??

[@younisyounis8471]

Great job brother and i like your simply tools that you using

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

+Younis Somay Thank you :)

[@AndreaArzensek]

Very cool! Just band saw and belt sander, huh?

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Andrea Arzensek Thank you Andrea, I should call it a "sanding-box" :)

[@scotchleaf]

Did the box split when it dried?

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

+Chalemagne Boesh The wood was already dry

[@alexclark2126]

Love the video and the end result! How long had the wood been left to dry out before you started working with it?

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

+Alex Clark Thank you :) Oh I don't know how long it hat been left to dry. It was cut down a few years ago.

[@crackerjack3359]

Nice. Maybe try some 60 grit sand paper on your push stick.

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Thanks for the tip :)

[@FernandoCarrola]

FABIAN, sempre projetos simples, e distintos e muita paciência.....

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Fernando Carrola Thank you

[@lmeza1983]

I think it needs a little more sanding, you never can be sure.

[@dagigrabiec8745]

Hallo , super schön , was ist des für eine Bandsäge?

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

+Dagi Grabiec Danke, das ist eine Einhell BT-SB 200

[@gulfportflamefighter4545]

What size blade was you using on your bandsaw

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

1400 (1410) x 6 x 0,50 mm 6 ZpZ

[@bluemtnsman]

Sharp bit of work there sir.

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

bluemtnsman Thanks

[@MarkChristopherpens]

That wood is gorgeous & the box came out beautifully! Very nice job. One question, was there much sanding? ;)

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Mark Christopher Than you Mark! I guess I shouldn't call it a bandsaw box but a sanding-box :)

[@crmusicproduction]

Excellent video Fabian, and I love the way you utilised the hand planer like that. What was the thing you used to hold the piece of wood or is it something you made as, I dont have room for a planer/thicknesser but what you did is just great!

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

chris randell Thank you Chris! I'm glad you like it! I mounted the planer in a vice so I can use it as a mini-jointer. The thing I used to hold the wood is a simple push block.

[@ConfusionWood]

great work.

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

***** Thanks :)

[@spndxkwby]

Is that just cut from the roots of an apple tree? Or is there an 'apple root' wood? Sorry, I'm pretty new to wood that isn't Oak or Pine!

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Kasey Hendrickson It's cut from the root of an apple tree.

[@suzanneweitzel8969]

HI! Good video! Easy to view. How long did you let your root sit out to age or dry? Or did you chain saw it after it was newly pulled up? I am experiencing my wood crack if it sits out to long! I do live in the high desert of Arizona. Have you ever made a box out of raw wood? That was a nice piece of wood root, interesting how wood looks so different on the inside after you cut into it! Very pretty, reminds me of ice cream.~Suzanne

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

+Suzanne Jordan Thank you :-) Oh I don't know how long it did dry. It was cut down few years ago. Some part of the stump did crack.

[@SawDustMakerRJM]

That box turned out really nice Fabian. Now what will you put in it?

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Saw Dust Maker Thanks a lot! Haha, good question!

[@nikkogutierrez5393]

Can you link the template for the box great job

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Sorry, don't have it.

[@houtjeboom]

A very nice box Fabian....

[@gunterschone8402]

Schöne Box ist es geworden. Ist auch eine gute Idee gewesen. Vielleicht baue ich so eine Box mal nach, könnte nächstes jahr nämlich Pflaumenholz bekommen. Aber mal eine Frage, hast du ein normales Sägeblatt in der Bandsäge gehabt? Es gibt doch glaube ich Kurvensägebänder, für enge Radien.

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Günter Schöne Danke Günter! Pflaumenholz sieht klasse aus! Das Sägeblatt war ein Flexback 1400 (1410) x 6 x 0,50 mm 6 ZpZ, aber die kleine Bandsäge hat sich sehr gequält, denn das Holz ist unheimlich hart und die Säge ist für sowas einfach zu schwach.

[@gunterschone8402]

Ich weis nur, das Pflaumenholz eine schöne Maserung hat. :-) Das glaube ich dir, das die Säge sich gequält hat. Ich habe auch eine einfache von Atika, die BS205. Die ein normales Sägeband (1400 x6,5mm 6Z/25mm) und eins für Kurven (1425X3 14Z von Güde für knappe 7,-€). Bis jetzt kann ich mich nicht beschweren. Wie die sich bei Hartholz verhält kann ich nicht sagen. Bin im moment dabei eine Schatulle zu basteln. Grundmaterial (Fichtenleimholz, was auf 10mm aufgesägt wird), dann mit Nussbaumfurnier beklebt.

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Günter Schöne Das Sägeblatt, das ich benutzt habe gibt's hier: www.ebay.de/itm/Bandsaegeblaetter-Flexback-3-Stueck-Laenge-1410-1505-mm-Breite-von-6-bis13-mm-/281103993408 bislang kann ich mich nicht beschweren. Eine Schatulle mit Nussbaumfurnier, klingt interessant ;-)

[@gunterschone8402]

Danke für den Link, Die Firma >Holzbandsägendie verdeckte Schwalbenschwanz Verbindung< werden soll. Darf nur noch das Video dazu suchen. :-D

[@garymac121]

Beautiful box

[@dagigrabiec8745]

Danke,welche Bandsäge wirst du empfehlen für bissel größeren Kästchen??

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

+Dagi Grabiec Sorry, aber ich habe nur diese Bandsäge und kann darum auch keine Empfehlung aussprechen.

[@dagigrabiec8745]

Danke Fabi für die schnelle Antwort!

[@seashipyseaship6542]

[@susanlsolarz8920]

Why did you clamp the wood block to the belt sander?

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

+SL Solarz It acts as a stop block. In case I sand little thinks the sander could grab them and they go flying.

[@windsucher6246]

Hallo Fabian woher bekommst du das Holz?

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Wind sucher Hallo, dieses Holz stammt von einem Kleingärtner, der einen Apfelbaumstumpf ausgegraben hat. Meine "normalen Quellen" sind folgende: Deusches Holz von hier: stores.ebay.de/Karles-Ton-und-Hobbyholzer Andere Bretter manchmal hier: www.designholz.com/ Kantel, die ich z.B. zu kleinen Bretchen säge und füge hier: www.hobbyholz.de Das sind alle Quellen die ich kenne, bzw. die sich online lohnen. Manchmal wenn ich eine Motorsäge höre, schaue ich auch nach, ob ein Kleingärtner evtl. etwas lohnendes zersägt.

so funny and beautiful and practical.

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Thank you

[@hansdegroot8549]

Nice project. I may try to make something like that. Why was the planer necessary? (I do not have one) It seemed on the video that the wood had a lot of burning spots (dark brow to black) where you cut it. Why? (dull blade not dry enough wood or not enough powerful motor or another reason?) Thanks for sharing.

[@FabiansTinyWorkshop]

Thanks! The root wood was extremely hard and the blade was dull, that's why there were so much burn marks. I used a planer to remove the burning and sawmarks. It's faster than sanding. But you only need a bandsaw and a sander.

[@hansdegroot8549]

Thank you for your quick answer. I really appreciate that.
