Making a Wooden Briefcase for Get Hands Dirty

Congratulations to Cristiana Felgueiras (Get Hands Dirty) for reaching 750.000 subscribers! You were an inspiration for me to start this channel!
In this project I used several techniques that I never used before. This was my first time making handmade dovetails which I think turned out okay. The handle is made with wood bent on hot water and the logo was laser engraved on the cork panel.
The wood was salvaged from a wooden pallet and the little feet are made from pine.

Get Hands Dirty sent me here against(not true because I came of) my (free)will. Also cool Charlie Brown woodwork apron.

[@alfadraft]

The apron was a regular cooking apron but now is full of glue and paint so it turned into a woodworking apron! Thank you for the support!

[@Caparico]

Great content, and I actually picked up a new technique or two, just by watching this video. Subscribed! Thanks.

Amazing project, well done! Just wondering what was the finish that you used?

[@alfadraft]

Thank you! I use a varnish that's suitable to bathrooms and kitchens since it's water proof

[@iraqigeek8363]

O YT necessita de mais "Tuga makers"

[@alfadraft]

Tens a toda a razão! O meu objetivo com este canal é criar conteúdo cada vez melhor e com mais qualidade, eventualmente chegar ao ponto em que parece um filme!

[@MCsCreations]
