Simply Woodworking - Let's make a simple storage trunk

[@philrutherford6486]

Finally, a woodworker for the rest of us, He's succinct without showing off his million-dollar woodworking shop in the background. He's like the millions of weekend woodworkers out here not like the slick pros making these type of videos. His videos are simple without the endless chatter, to the point, and he uses tools like most of us have probably from Harbor Freight. Keep-um-coming dude, love your style.

Liked just for the tape ruler tomfoolery at the beginning.

[@chickginger]

Lol me too, I'm like "welp I already like him"

[@DanielMartinez-xy5mk]

The Music Is Just As Soothing As Making This Storage Box , Very Nice

[@SimplyWoodworking]

Thank you Daniel!

[@DanielMartinez-xy5mk]

Your Welcome Sir , If You Don't Mind Me Asking , What's The Names Of Those Tunes That Played In The Background?

[@SimplyWoodworking]

@@DanielMartinez-xy5mk The first one is called Campfire Song, but the rest are as much a mystery to me as they are to you! All of them are KZbin royalty-free stuff, that's all I know

[@gwarlow]

8:27 Not an idiot. A genius for showing the rest of us what to avoid. Cheers!

[@garonfoerster7877]

Love the video! but we need measurements!!! lol. Can you make another just like it and include them? haha

[@adham_z1463]

The introduction to the video is fun 😂

I'll try. You're the best. Greetings from MX City

[@peterstevens6555]

Kia Ora & Good Morning from Auckland, New Zealand ...great video bro ...

[@Christy.1]

Wheels on the bottom to help move it around. This is perfect, I knew it wouldn't be too difficult to make.

[@SimplyWoodworking]

The buyer didn't want the wheels, but yeah it would have made lugging it around a whole lot easier!

[@emmaliddell8507]

Great item to have and easy to maintain.

[@rogerknight2267]

Making plans to build a sitting bench for a room in our house. It will also serve as a secret storage bench. Looking at 5 ‘x 2’x2’. Gonna be a fun project. Thank you for sharing your project build. Excellent ideas!!

[@SimplyWoodworking]

Good to hear mate, and good luck on the seat - that's a great idea

[@deirdre444]

Hey, everyone makes mistakes. Thanks for candidly showing us your error so we can avoid that. Nice trunk, all in all. :)

[@humanbean1424]

Speak for yourself. I never make mistakes. Thats why when ever I have a pencil I always bite the eraser off and swallow it.

Half of the video we watch you spin the screws very interesting

[@baileycormack2986]

So I think you can use this pattern and adjust the size to your desire, correct? I'd like one large enough to store two garbage bags, give or take one for weekly garbage pick up. I think this is the perfect style for my needs-fancy and functional 😊 Thanks so much!

[@nadine91]

Like your video. It's very entertaining. Going to make 2 of these to store dry goods in. Like noodles, flour, cereal, etc. That way the mice or critters can't get to it as easy. Was thinking of adding casters on bottom. What you think? 4" x 4" piece of 1x4 wood at each corner. And 1" casters or wheels. Thanks!

[@SimplyWoodworking]

Sounds good, Nadine, my version didn't need casters, but it seems like a great idea though! Crack on - let me know how you get on :)

Great job

[@SimplyWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@hredacted3518]

I would love to make this! Could you tell me the measurements of the wood?

[@SimplyWoodworking]

Not from memory, and the trunk has gone on to its owner, so sorry no. However, it's 4ft wide, and width and breadth were just based on the width of the planks (keepin' it simple!)

[@dragongrrl3]

So, this is newbie me asking this since I don’t know this(but should since I work in a hardware store), but what tools did you use for this or would you recommend? I see a cordless 3/8 Drill (I assume) and a right angle screwdriver along with a chopsaw/miter saw(?) and square..and also, what screws would you recommend for this?

[@SimplyWoodworking]

Hi Jessica. It's really very basic (as much of my stuff is!). I used a palm router for the lid edge too, and a chop saw cos I had one, but you can get away with the most basic stuff - saw, screws (wood screws ideally, but any will do so long as they're long enough) and a square. It truly IS Simple woodworking. Thanks for your question!

[@bigtonyakacashmoney]

Nice one

[@MrMully48]

Good Job, what would you use to prevent rain getting in if it was used outdoor. Thanks

[@SimplyWoodworking]

I'd use lots of an outside varnish to seal it, but I'd also make it better Maybe some lining?

[@akatrina53]

I’m learning lol what’s the measurements 😊

[@franemilicevic5245]

hahah commentary at the end is gold

Thank you, John!

[@1dashcamboatsandcars]

[@claireadshead7464]

What was the second tool you used, after drilling the hole?

[@SimplyWoodworking]

I think it’s just a powered screwdriver

[@aaronhenderson8564]

what song is at the 7 minute frame?

[@nigelbarr1672]

Just the job great

[@IWorkDoodles]

[@brasilman11]

do you have measurement list?

[@rogelio67]

Good job … rough and Minimal tools and supplies … hate the diy projects that have some guy using 10000 dollar machines to plane and 1000 dollar gadgets to transform the wood when the average diy guy is working with a mitre saw and a drill … cheers

[@ako456]

Fun to see you use skrews. All the ather guys use nails.

[@robsim4692]

I gotta ask, does changing your shirt multiple times during the build provide some benefit?

[@SimplyWoodworking]

It is well known in secret woodworking circles that changing your shirt frequently makes your chisels sharper.

[@robsim4692]

@Simply Woodworking man thanks so much, I was wondering how that happened! Got any tips that make your "Chisel" a bit longer

[@SimplyWoodworking]

@@robsim4692 I've heard wearing a hat will do that.

[@Bammer.D]

When you're chop saw is to small, don't flip the board over to match the cut silly. Just lift the uncut edge while raising the blade. TUHDA!

[@SimplyWoodworking]

That makes sense. Love the info, Jesse! Thanks for commenting

if the client had asked for em I would! Thanks for commenting, it's appreciated.

[@tomt9543]

It’s so nice to watch “non-stodgy” woodworking! A refreshing break from the sickeningly well equipped elitist shops! Loved the project, and, unusual for me, the music! I do have a bitch though! At 4:00, that diagonal brace attached to the leg on your table isn’t locked in! Due to severe OCD, I will not be able to sleep until you secure it, so please lock it in and notify me so I can get a good nights rest!

[@SimplyWoodworking]

Absolutely right, Tom. it is bent so it can't lock in - like an over-extended leg! That bench is so solid it's absolutely fine, but it has been retired now, as it was very old n rusty. Good spot though!

[@vincepeacham7292]

Great vid, but wish you would have shown how you got the sides to stand up while you put the ends on.

Ps, watched it about 8x
