Making Japanese Toolboxes // Collaboration with Slovenian Woodworker

[@Slovenianwoodworker]

Wow..what a wonderful experience man. Boxes came out awesome. I relly enjoyed working with you on this collaboration project.!

[@AdrianPreda]

Now back to the drawing board for the next one :D

[@gazgough9264]

Gorgeous as always , amazing work you two!

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks GG!

[@mennodehaan8454]

Adrian Preda for tight joints, hit one of the parts with a rounded hammer, once parts are together and in place, moist the joint and the fibers that you hammered down will expand, filling any gaps making the joint seamless.

you guys a deserve a big respect, as a carpenter waching videos maybe years, and first time in my live writhing a comment... there is a carpenters and there is a masters .I enjoy waching it thanks a lots

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you for your comment and nice words! Glad you enjoyed our project!

[@rollingstone3017]

That’s the nicest looking Japanese toolbox I’ve seen. Love the through-tenons.

[@frankcornfield5915]

Great project. I bought the plans to build a box like this for my grandson's Christmas present.

[@francesluck6597]

How pleasing to watch your clean accurate work with perfectly sharpened hand tools. beautiful simplicity, the essence of Japanese design. Thank you!

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you Bruce! Indeed, a little more effort in sharpening, but after that is just a pleasure to work.

[@nickwilkins9299]

That's just amazing workmanship - superb boxes!

[@didanoff]

Is it really true way to glue bottom of the box, what happens in case of season temperature changes?

[@z1catfish]

must be nice to have thousands of dollars of equipment to do it on. Guess I prefer to see people like me using tools that a normal person can afford or do it by hand, the work of craftsman... Thanks for sharing.

[@j.r.tidwell3318]

Can’t get enough guys. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve seen it. Trying to build a Japanese toolbox myself. Man it’s harder they it looks. Had to redo a lot of wood pieces. Maybe I’ll have it by the end of 2020. 😂 Keep building my friend. Thanks

[@kennsakurai9582]

Greetings from Japan. Very good for both the production of the tool box and the video.

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you! I think you are my first comment from Japan who appreciate my japanese woodworking projects :D

[@EwaldBurger]

Wow, this is pure art! What a craftsmen you are!

[@AdrianPreda]

+Ewald Burger Thank you!

[@user-in9xo6zo9p]

been to Slovenia, Lake Bled..... awesome place you see craftsmanship like this everywhere..

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks Paul! I'm not from Slovenia, but my friend with whom I built these is, his channel here yt.vu/c/UC6NxeqYCz1a9cJvhuunEufw

[@user-in9xo6zo9p]

Your welcome. I just watched your video on the hand held router.... very impressive and inspiring. I may put some of my stuff on here one day if I ever get the cohoonas !

[@AdrianPreda]

Why not, I started just for fun, even now is just for fun :), and kinda motivates me do my best in the projects.

[@billquillin1952]

Now, now! You need a separate insert for the Planes!!!! Excellent work!!!!!

[@hervevandevoorde8457]

Bonne idée et surtout très belle réalisation. Du beau boulot ! Congratulations from France.

[@AdrianPreda]

Merci beaucoup Herve!

[@jethevicentiu]

Great job Adita!

[@AdrianPreda]

Mersi Vic!

[@kfirlavi7674]

Top notch video and execution building the tool box.

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you!

[@MarkyDesigns3000]

Excellent job, well done. I like that the 2 boxes where not identical, they had a little difference in detail.

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you very much! Indeed, the idea was for each to make o box for its own need, they turn out very well and useful in the end. Thanks!

[@nolanwoodworksartcompany6612]

You have an amazing touch with chisel and shaves. Absolutely beautiful. Very very impressed

[@andreacecchettomuson]

Ciao complimenti per la scatola e per la pulizia del lavoro. Un saluto dalla provincia di Treviso

[@AdrianPreda]

Grazie mille Andrea! Saluti!

[@PakalTheBear]

I just want to point you paid so much attention to details, not only in your wood working, but the edition of this video. I mean, min 5:45, the way you synch the chisel taps with the beat of the song, just awesome man. hats off.

[@SuperiorEtchworx]

Two of my favourite woodworkers in one video. Thanks

[@ClintRoseCarving]

Wow, they look wonderful. When you put in the little caps over the screws, that was the best part! - Clint

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks a lot! Ha ha, yes, I was a little concern that I will not be able to press them evenly, but was good in the end.

[@juanfrau5522]

amazing, excellent video only 10% more real ambience. very nice work

[@robertbrunston5406]

Both are very nice boxes! Thank you.

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you for watching!

[@chriscunicelli7070]

Love that box guys!

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@billiondollardan]

That's a lot of driving for the project! Good job

[@AdrianPreda]

+billiondollardan 😁 Thanks! 4 or 5 times actually, even in the video seems 2 days😁

[@sergeantcrow]

Top class ! I'm definitely 'turning Japanese.'

[@duczman76]

nice project.the boxes are awesome.the closure is simple, but ingenious.

[@hudmond]

beautiful craftsmanship :)

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you!

[@kenkovacs1731]

Good work and techniques. Very nice tools too

[@cristinabogdan7799]

Great project you guys. Really proud of you both!

[@AdrianPreda]

That is very sweet! Thank you dear!

[@Mr_Rick]

Outstanding! I'm impressed!!

[@cornflake73]

fine woodworking gentlemen

[@AbamAdy]

fabulous collabs...the result turn out awesome...can't wait to see more projects in the future....make it once a month

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks man! Lol, this one took two months maybe :) We will try as many as we can. Fore sure soon will be another. Thanks!

[@wickedwoodgaming1486]

I gotta ask. Why would you use screws. And just glue the bottom on? Seems like the bottom will eventually break off. And the screws kinda ruin all of the time spent cutting mortises.

[@richardweinberger2756]

Beautiful wood.

[@Mikhandmaker]

Excellent work and excellent video! You are a creator, not an ordinary person Well done Adrian

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you Mik! :) Thanks for your words!

[@Donegaldan]

Interesting- skilled craftsman

[@jimw544]

Great job guys! A real piece of art.

[@hypnolobster]

Damn, that's super clean. I LOVE the square plugs.

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you!

[@jishaku38]

You use the kebiki as if it is floating .good job!

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks! Freshly sharpened blade :D

[@cmonknot9354]

Excellent! Editing makes everything look great! 90% of the creation of this box was two men painstakingly marking and cutting wood fiber to fit to 1/64 of an inch and (probably smaller) of an opening. Tedious work but the end product is well worth it.

[@keithrobertson2972]

Absolutely beautiful keep it up fellas, 👌

[@samehdarawshi3537]

you give insight different from other channels. great job and ideas!

[@adrianramirezp.6716]

Impresionante Adrián muy buen trabajo

[@savage_x89]

[@thijsvanderhorst8745]

3:22 Are those magnets in your block that help you cut square?

[@AdrianPreda]

Yes

[@waynepollard6879]

Sandal's and sneakers are you crazy !

[@robertbrunston5406]

[@markjurmu2639]

Nice, got a new project on my list now

[@zimmermansworkshop9394]

Do you have a video on your clamping/vice block?

[@AdrianPreda]

+Brian Zimmerman I belive you may refer to that mini workbech with vise. There are 4 videos making it, you can check it in my videos tab of the channel

[@AdventuresInDIY]

Great project! Love how you had three screws.

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you Chris!

[@hollysmith562]

I was thinking the exact same thing about the screws LOL That's a really nice tool box

[@pedrozacar]

Sensacional. Parabéns pelo brilhante trabalho.

[@henryworkswoodandmetal]

Really nice work!

[@Lemongrasspicker]

Very cool project! Enjoyed watching

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you! I'm very glad you like it! Nice channel you have and my kind of projects, I will check it out!

[@Lemongrasspicker]

Adrian Preda cool!

[@silverxmaple]

Hey question about the screws, how did you account for wood movement using screws? Thanks.

[@AdrianPreda]

In that position, where those 3 screws are, wood movement is minimal, so there is no issue with them. Instead of the through tenons, on the frame, if there where screws probably will have been some problems.

[@henrischneider1075]

I wanted to make something similar to this but bigger. And I wanted to not use a lid but a small workbench as a lid. Do you think that‘s possible? Because I really like that idea

[@sergebeata7290]

A deux pour cette bouse prétentieuse ! Surtout pour sortir une petite boîte avec des outils hors de prix😂😂😂

[@totobill22]

Excellent !

[@thesundaycarpenter2514]

awesome! quick question: what is that handheld saw guide that you used? diy? I would reallylikeone.

[@AdrianPreda]

+J & B English Thanks! It's a diy magnetic guide, I have a video making it if you look in my videos

[@dennissweeney5960]

I really want to build one of these. How do you accommodate seasonal wood movement? Do you select quarter sawn pieces for the top and bottom?

[@AchimFink]

Tolles Projekt. Was ist das helle Holz für eine Sorte?

[@bjorn.grooten]

Nice work! I love the Japanese woodworking and joinery. Do you share the drawing with us?

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks! Send me an email

[@kerrywil1]

Great job. What wood did you use to make the tool box?

[@BogdanBelcea]

Love you content here. As a beginner I do wonder about the bottom wood movement. Is the problem mitigated by having the frame of the box super sold via dowel / pegs / screws / very precise glue-up ?

[@ronaldobos]

gostei de mais, muito sofisticado Parabéns

[@MrFrancogi]

very nice!

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you!

[@kiwilonewolf]

Awesome video you guys!

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you Will!

[@chyanmaki]

awesome ! very precise ! very beautiful !

[@MyVinylRips]

Wow. Really inspiring

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you!

[@GiGaSzS]

Amazing ! And greetings from Slovenia :)

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks! Greetings from Slovenia too :D

[@DorianBracht]

Nice colab man!

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks Dorian! :D

[@StavrosGakos]

Nice job guys!

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you Stravos!

[@abedkhansuman3664]

Useful & Wonderful ..

[@danielbarker5101]

amazing work!

[@SirBenJamin_]

Great stuff! .. with your saw guides, can they only be used on saws with little to no set? as I assume if they do have noticable set, it will wear into the guide? thanks!

[@AdrianPreda]

Thank you! You can use any saw I believe, it will wear a little but will stop after the set has protrude into the wood. You can see in my dovetail guide video that I added a thin plastic in order to offset the blade set off the wood. Not to the one straight you saw in this video, it was build more as a test guide and did not care too much.

[@greg6107]

Really enjoyed, exceelent!

[@PistolPat]

Gorgeous

[@LessTalkMoreDelicious]

Beautiful! Is that maple or beech?

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks! Maple

[@davidepassarelli5049]

Ciao Adrian ti volevo chiedere info su quelle squadrette da macchinista della shinwa, a parer tuo dovendone prendere solo 2 misure del set di quali consiglieresti?

[@Yahoomediaclub]

Awesome!👍🎸☠️👍

[@AdrianPreda]

+Jono Rezzillo Thanks!

[@brucew6300]

Wonrderful work! What kind of wood do you use?

[@AdrianPreda]

+Bruno John Wilfahrt Hi, thanks! Maple and walnut, both european.

[@ManuelMarrugoWoodworking]

Excelente quedo genial, me voy hacer una. 😀

[@AdrianPreda]

Gracias amigo! Glad you find it inspiring!

[@SethsProject]

Yay a new video!! Love it as always!

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks Seth for your comment!

[@SethsProject]

Adrian Preda I really loved the ruler bending to make the curves! That was genius lol

[@AdrianPreda]

With tooth sticks holders, that's unique I think :D Thanks!

[@xavier8049]

you should use a coping saw at 5:25. BTW nice video!

[@AdrianPreda]

Thanks! That keyhole japanese saw is more effective on longer cuts. It's more aggressive and fast. I use coping saws only at dovetails or other joinery where the space is tighter, otherwise I like more this funny one saw :)
