NO gap bandsaw box

The problem with bandsaw boxes is the gap around the drawer. It's not a problem anymore.

[@germcrazyshokoff3623]

Brilliant. The gaps are the main thing that frustrates me about bandsaw boxes. Nice work.

[@MartinMurrayWoodDesign]

I agree, the gaps make them look unfinished. I'm sure there is a better way to be found yet.

With that drill press trick, you win the internet for weirdest sanding technique ever...

[@MartinMurrayWoodDesign]

Nice one I appreciate that. Making stuff and figuring things out is fun isn't it?

@@MartinMurrayWoodDesign absolutely. Love spending my spare time just seeing what can be done with bits n bats.

Excellent video. Very informative, I will be trying this method on my next bandsaw box. Keep up the good work.

Very cool!

[@MartinMurrayWoodDesign]

Thank you very much sir 👍

[@jake_a_g]

Neat. Could you do the 1st prototype strategy, but just a 5 or 10 degree angle?

[@MartinMurrayWoodDesign]

Don't tell anyone but I did try 5 and 15 degrees off camera. 5 degrees, the wedge dropped about 75% and 15 degrees dropped about 50%. 30 degrees seems to be the sweet spot as it only dropped about 2 or 3mm. But I'm happy to be proved wrong.

[@steviebye1]

I enjoyed that.

[@MartinMurrayWoodDesign]

Cool

[@wiseoldfool]

I see where I was going wrong. I wasn't crossing my fingers!

[@jeffcarr392]

Martin, excellent video, very funny, first time I've seen one of your videos, have dutifully subscribed, you're welcome. 😁😃

[@MartinMurrayWoodDesign]

Welcome aboard 👍

[@ChrisFranklyn]

I'm still not sure why cutting at an angle reduces the gap. But it's nice to see a man on a mission.

[@MartinMurrayWoodDesign]

I struggled to put it into words myself. 🤦‍♂️

[@JohnColgan.]

Because he can then recess the drawer in further to remove the gap. Then sand away the front of the outer shell to same depth of the drawer

[@MartinMurrayWoodDesign]

@@JohnColgan. 👏

[@ChrisFranklyn]

Thanks both!

[@SahajSoldier]

Because it creates a miter. The cut is now 45 degrees away from the back of the box. You can't see it, the drawer face overlaps a bit. Whereas before the cut was always 90 degrees from the back and you could see straight down the gap.

[@BenNawrath]

Very good idea! Question, and this is something I've always wondered about all band saw boxes. Do you find your gap is uneven because of the single entry kerf?

[@MartinMurrayWoodDesign]

The uneven gap in my opinion, is the worst part about bandsaw boxes. Hopefully someone will watch this video and come up with a better way. 🤞

[@BenNawrath]

@@MartinMurrayWoodDesign {I was thinking something like cut all the way thru on the entry cut, so the whole thing shifts down, not just one side.

[@MartinMurrayWoodDesign]

@@BenNawrath that would totally work, you would have two glue lines to hide but if that's ok with you then give it a try. 👍

[@BenNawrath]

@@MartinMurrayWoodDesign yeah depending on the grain pattern maybe it would even be easier 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@jeremyjjbrown]

Why not enter with the ply direction so yo can fill the saw gap and not notice?

[@MartinMurrayWoodDesign]

That sounds like a good idea. 👍

The cheques in the post 👍

Brett, your cheques keep bouncing. Can you use western union going forward. Thanks

I keep hearing "welcome back to the shit" at the beginning of the video
