Make Stackable Shop Boxes - Part 1

[@henrythemaker9]

Excellent shop project 👍

[@kennethdodds2323]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video...I can use this in my shop.

[@henryworkswoodandmetal]

Your welcome! Good luck with your project.....

[@duczman76]

nice boxes.i plan to make some for my small workshop.maybe a little bit smaller or with some dividers.

[@rwind656]

I like that you show up front what you are going to build. if the project is more complete, it helps me when the builder will occasionally stop at each step and show how much of it has been built.

[@henryworkswoodandmetal]

I appreciate your feedback!!!

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

Simple easy boxes. Im glad I watched this. Getting ready to make something similar. This is a better way to do it. And I can use up a bunch of scraps.

[@henryworkswoodandmetal]

Yes, they are a pretty straightforward build....thanks!

[@antoniofactor1995]

Hope for the best PAL and success

[@brianmurray667]

Watched 1 and 2. Good videos. Simple ideas always best.

[@henryworkswoodandmetal]

TY!!!

[@gtg-inspections]

Nice to see someone using the same saw I have. Thank you for posting.

[@henryworkswoodandmetal]

Its been a great saw, I've been using it for more than 20 years now and it works as good as the day I bought it! Thanks for watching!

[@georginachavez2138]

Those boxes look pretty handy to have around in shop, great idea, thanks for sharing your idea

[@henryworkswoodandmetal]

They really help with staying organized, thanks!

[@rokpodlogar6062]

outfeed table, buddy. it's worth it. great content.

[@henryworkswoodandmetal]

Yes, your right and I've already made one for my saw and it's working great, thanks!

[@66scotty73]

very useful project and excellent video

[@henryworkswoodandmetal]

TY!

[@johnthompson3462]

Nice vid. Simple but useful idea. As I watched you do the handles I realized that if you went right through and then used round over it would look really cool

[@henryworkswoodandmetal]

yes it would, I was originally going to do it that way but i wanted to try and keep all the sawdust out of the boxes, so I ended up doing them with recessed handles, thanks and thank you for watching!

[@reidcross9051]

I like your videos, I really like it when you write the dimensions on the wood. That really helps me. I have made a bunch of these stackable boxes.

[@henryworkswoodandmetal]

Thanks for taking the time to let me know, I'm glad it helped you with your project........thanks for watching!

[@hansdegroot8549]

Good miniseries about how to make boxes. Thanks for sharing. Be careful however with loose sleeves at the router table and/or table saw. It's easier to hurt yourself than you realize.

[@henryworkswoodandmetal]

Thats great advice......thanks!

[@rwind656]

I like the way you appear to have created a "story pole" on the top of your crosscut fence for the project. It's giving me an idea for a crosscut sled or fence I plan to build. I want a rule across the top of the fence, but also something like a dry erase strip, so that I could mark (the various locations for the stops for different pieces if I am working a batch ) ... and then erase markings at the end of the project.

[@henryworkswoodandmetal]

Thank you!

[@burntsider8457]

Well done video explanation of your design. One respectful question, what's the benefit of routing a groove to receive the box bottom? It's an extra step and costs over an inch of box capacity. Why not just brad and glue it to the bottom edges of the sides and ends?

[@Aikidoman06]

I like the style of your video! Great boxes! Next project up!

[@henryworkswoodandmetal]

Thanks for the great comment, we are working on more videos now!!!

[@historyrepeatscubed726]

Hi Henry! What I particularly liked about your video compared to many others is two things: firstly, you would carry out a task and then stop to show us what you had just done (which many others fail to do, leaving us guessing), and, secondly, you showed some tasks being carried out in real time rather than 2x or 4x faster than real time. When you did accelerate the playing speed, it was done appropriately. I didn't find I had to rewind and slow down the speed to review anything you had just done, unlike many other videos which race through, sometimes quite complex, procedures at the expense of viewer comprehension. Time lapse is a good thing, but it is often over-used, I feel. Well done on your good woodwork and professional video production skills. Thanks!

[@henryworkswoodandmetal]

Thank you for taking the time to give me such great feedback, I really appreciate it!!!

[@adamsandor8012]

Good job and very nice!

[@henryworkswoodandmetal]

TY!

[@jacflash69]

Put your riving knife into the saw! Neat boxes, thanks for the video.

[@henryworkswoodandmetal]

Your right, better safe than sorry. I took the splitter off and forget to put it back. Thanks for watching!

[@Stephens8x6Workshop]

Just subscribed! With such neat and well presented videos such as these I don't think you will have any problems reaching 100 subscribers.

[@henryworkswoodandmetal]

thanks you so much!

[@Yahoomediaclub]

Great Job Thanks

[@henryworkswoodandmetal]

Thank you!!!! Thanks for watching!

[@snapsybox6982]

Love this! I want to make something similar for kids to stand on (at varying heights) for team photos. Are they strong enough to flip over and stand on? Thanks for making this and including dimensions!

[@henryworkswoodandmetal]

If you use 1/2" plywood for the bottoms they should be plenty strong, let me know if you have any other questions, thanks for watching!

[@davisfrye4883]

Good information. Good background music.

[@henryworkswoodandmetal]

Thank you!!!

[@houtjeboom]

Great video... and very usefull boxes too. Well done.

[@henryworkswoodandmetal]

Thanks and thanks for watching!

[@c.garcia2363]

Great video!! Thanks for sharing. I don’t understand the purpose for the three circular cuts to the face of the boxes. Is it aesthetic or ....?

[@henryworkswoodandmetal]

Those are recess handles, to lift or grab each box easier.......thanks!

[@davidhattenburg9011]

they are handles, so your hands don't slip off, making it easier to grip,

[@henryworkswoodandmetal]

Yes!!!!😁

[@TheDublin47]

You should never glue the bottom panel it should always float because of wood expansion leave a 2 millimeters gap either side of the box all around

[@henryworkswoodandmetal]

If the bottom panel was of solid wood that would be wise, but these bottoms are plywood with many thin layers of wood glued and pressed together and plywood has more stability than solid wood since the layers are glued with alternating grain directions, so any expansion is minimized, and therefore the plywood product is considered very stable. Thanks, I appreciate your feedback!

[@johnthompson3462]

That is only correct for solid wood.Plywood does not expand

[@henryworkswoodandmetal]

Thats the beauty of using plywood..... it doesn't move!

[@TheDublin47]

@@henryworkswoodandmetal yes you are correct it's just me i have had bad experience with panels.But i will take your advice . Thanks Henry

[@henryworkswoodandmetal]

@@TheDublin47 I understand, I too have solid wood move and split on a couple of my projects .... its no fun!

[@darrenchu9215]

my nephew might have watched this video. He made something very similar for my mom.

[@henryworkswoodandmetal]

Thanks, these really work great for helping you stay organized

[@HT-ud4fx]

Nice technique, though I did not understand why you made those 3 grooves in the front of each box. Please explain the logic behind it.

[@henryworkswoodandmetal]

They are recessed handles, to lift them.....thanks!

[@andypiszcz6583]

Put a small extension table on the table saw. It is safer than reaching over. Fine for small work but try pushing a 4 ft. long by 6 in. wide piece of oak thru and catching it. Scary!

[@henryworkswoodandmetal]

Your exactly right! In my next few videos I will be building a work/assembly table with saw horses that will also double as an out feed table for the table saw........thanks for the suggestion!!!

[@rxsoff]

especially with those long sleeves

[@brucebonkowski3037]

I built a set from somewhere else like your much better

[@henryworkswoodandmetal]

Thank you, they have pretty handy to have in the shop!
