[@ChipsChickens]

Love this, thanks for posting it I glued some sand paper around the side on mine so it doubles as a nail file!

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

That's an interesting addition. Nicely done. Thanks for tuning in.

[@garywilkins2371]

Very nice, time consuming, but end result fantastic. Great idea with the template. Wish I had a scroll saw! Keep up the great work and teachings, WILKO in Australia.

[@markduggan3451]

That looks amazing.

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Glad that you like it Mark. Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words.

[@jimfromri]

Another really interesting project Ken. The approach lends itself to a lot of different small boxes, eg Valentine hearts etc. Thanks!

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Most definitely Jim. Heart shaped boxes for Valentine's Day, Pumpkin boxes for Halloween, Christmas tree boxes for small Christmas gifts. You are pretty much limited only to your imagination. Thanks for the kind words on the show and for tuning in sir. It is very much appreciated.

[@1958linedancer]

[@oges74]

Nicely done, turned out great. Just new to your channel and finding your demonstrations helpful and easy to follow

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Glad to have you aboard as a viewer Brett. Thanks for tuning in to the show and taking the time to leave the kind words. It's very much appreciated.

[@nhcpete]

Great project! That will make a great Christmas present for my son! Harley pete (UK)...

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

It makes a great gift Pete. Good luck on your build. Thanks for tuning in to the show and taking the time to leave your comment. It is very much appreciated.

[@michaeldunn5280]

Hello Kenny. Love the demo and tutorial on how to build this project. Like you said the methods lend themselves to all sorts of ideas down the road. My scroll saw for the most part spends a lot of time attracting dust but perhaps this will change now and I will get more use out of it Harleymike/chicago

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Scrolling is the most relaxing form of woodworking as far as I am concerned Mike. If you are allowing your saw to just sit and collect dust, you are denying yourself a heck of a lot of fun and relaxation. LOL. I hope you dust off the saw and try this project. Thanks for tuning in and taking the time to leave a comment. I appreciate it.

[@barryroberts6470]

Very nice piece of work there Kenny, perfect for Guitar players. I love the ol' scroll saw projects. Stay Safe, Barry (ENG)

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Glad that you liked the project Barry. Thanks for tuning in and taking the time to leave the kind words. I truly appreciate it.

[@dalemoskalyk1227]

Very cool Ken. Well thought out and and explained. It's a no go on the gas can box git. Belonged to my wife's dad; so her grandpa...I value my live lol. But there are other objects around. Take care bud.

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

That's too bad about the gas can but you're wise to back away from it....otherwise, you might as well make your own coffin. LOL. Thanks for tuning in Dale and taking the time to leave the kind words.

[@bobwoodhams7242]

Great Great idea........ thanks Kenny

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

You're very welcome Bob. Glad that you liked it. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

[@lisedorion5566]

Love your videos. As a new scroll saw user, you make scrolling seem doable :) Looking forward to giving this a shot at some point.

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Of course it's doable Lise. You just need to sit down and do it. The more you do it, the better you'll get. Thanks for tuning in to the show. I hope that you try this project soon.

[@cathyjbrock8719]

Love it 😊

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Glad to hear it Cathy. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

[@michaelmarchione3408]

I love my scroll saw and your scroll saw videos, all your videos actually. That would be a useful project for my mandolin, even though I can not play it And I do not have a guitar anymore, but I do know a person who does. As my mom would sat..."Arthur in my fingers won't let me" lol.

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

That darned "Arthur" catches up to all of us eventually I think. Thanks for the kind words on the channel Michael and for tuning in to the show this week. It's very much appreciated.

[@michaelmarchione3408]

@@acutabove_woodworkings I look every day for your shows. Would not miss them. Sometimes they spark my creative genus , in my own mind of course lol .

[@brianoliver2958]

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Glad that you liked the project. Thanks for tuning in and for taking the time to leave the kind words. I truly appreciate it.

[@5309backbeat]

Hey Kenny Great Vid As a guitar player i"m for sure making this one

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Good luck on your build Peter. I hope it turns out amazing. Thanks for tuning in and taking the time to leave a comment. It is very much appreciated.

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

As for the masking tape holder....here's the link. www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/tools/supplies/adhesives/tape/75459-tadpole-tape-cutter?item=09A0951 I hope this helps.

[@alfredsanturri922]

Choke up another great video

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Glad that you liked it Alfred. I particularly enjoyed making this one. It was a lot of fun. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

[@frankorona1]

Wonderful and grat job! Although I liked the harmonic box you made in 2016 better

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Glad that you liked it Francisco. The harmonica case was fun to make as well. Thanks for tuning in to the show. It's very much appreciated.

[@prasadvvnd]

Great work. What blade did you use to cut walnut?

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Walnut is not a difficult wood to cut. Using a #3 blade should do you just fine for this thickness. A #7 will also work but it is a little aggressive. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

[@Javier..Escobar]

Thanks to you

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

You are very welcome Javier. I appreciate you tuning in to the show.

[@rroe5718]

Kenny, you bench clamp your using looks like an Older Veritas Clamp, but I've never seen one quite like it. The newer Veritas clamps don't seem as versatile. Is this a brand made by Veritas? Thanks

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

This is the Veritas Quick Release Wonder Dog. You can find them at Lee Valley Tools. Here's a link. www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/tools/workshop/workbenches/benchtop-accessories/74622-veritas-quick-release-wonder-dog?item=05G1030. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in.

[@lacttech]

I know it’s been a couple years since you posted the video. I know the initial MDF templates were 3 1/2 X 5. Do you remember what was the final measurements on the pick box? Thanks.

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

I can't remember exact dimensions but it was roughly 3"X4 1/2X5/8" thick. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

[@paulsmessyworkshop]

Kenny, clever idea once again. My daughter’s fiancé makes and plays guitars so I may just be making a couple of these. Making projects using templates is great when it comes to making things like this. Not knowing anything about guitar picks, are all picks the same or would I be better off ordering some prior to making this project? Okay, you got your chuckle for the day but it was a serious question. Again, great project.

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

Guitar picks vary in size and shape Paul but for the most part, you can trace a generic pick and it would fit about 90% of the picks that guitar players use. Bass picks can be a little beefier but that would be something that you would compensate for when making the case. For me, if I'm making one for a gift, I stock the case with a variety of picks so I know they will fit. Thanks for the kind words on the show and taking the time to ask your question. I truly appreciate it sir.

[@billinfarmington5189]

Hi Kenny! Always amazed at your scroll work. I am curious, how much do you speed up your scrolling in the video? Love the little box. Didn't see the final shape coming until the very end. You are somewhat of an artist as well as a scroller. Bill

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

There is no set formula for me to speed up the cutting Bill. It is dependant on the length of the clip that I wish to place in the show. Normally, the cuttings are sped up anywhere from 2 to 4 times their original speed. For really long cutting clips, I may go as high as 20X but that doesn't happen too often. I hope that helps. Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words on the show and the project.

[@mikethompson7290]

So do you stand or sit as you scrollsaw? What is the height of your table from the floor? Thanks for your cool vids

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

I always sit at the saw Mike. I'm not sure what the height is, but when sitting at the saw, you forearms should be pretty much level with the table. I hope this helps. Thanks for the kind words and for tuning in to the show.

[@aggie1527]

What type of wood is it?

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

This project was made from walnut Aggie. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

[@jewellenahernandez2246]

If I don’t have a scroll saw what , is it possible to make this using other tools?

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

You could always use a fret saw to cut the design and then sand it to get the final shape that you want. A band saw is also able to be used but only for the outside cuts. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in.

[@Mukundanghri]

I'm going to do a Piano out of Ebony.

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

That sounds like a great idea. Good luck with your project. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

[@fdort3971]

​@acutabove_woodworkings what a "plucky" lil project! Thanks for the lesson

[@acutabove_woodworkings]

You're very welcome. Thanks for tuning in.
