Make a wood Shut-the-Box game.

[@qhack]

We play it where you can add up the numbers and take that many. So 5 and 5 showing on the dice is 10 so you can flip the 9 and 1. Just the way we play it.

[@jasonbucy]

I agree. this is how I play too.

[@konaklip87]

That's proper

[@conniegullo6108]

Same

[@minn7stp436]

So, it looks like I’m not the only one… My child is home from school today, and I wanted to search the rules for this box we had laying around the house. Thank you

[@paulboutilier4928]

this is something will be making next weekend. My daughter is 5 and this will help with counting. Thank you

[@TomKaren94]

Steve's video production, editing, voiceover and music are all getting more professional. We are looking at the rising of the next superstar... Stevonce' .

[@hminkim21c]

Great for kids and their grand parents I guess. After watching your video, I have smile on my face.

[@mvecellio1]

Hi Steve. I made a 12 flapper version of your Shut the Box game and it was a hit at our dinner party. Thanks for the how to. Mike

[@FilthyManatee]

Awesome build, going to have to try this myself, but when you were playing you go a 5 and a 5, which adds to 10. You had a 9 and a 1 available which adds to 10.

[@x8xxb3nxx8x8]

This is why I think your a genius, everything made is incredibly innovative.

[@jaypendleton2568]

Great project, enjoy seeing an old school wwmm.

[@Ticky66MN]

Very nice project Steve! I played this when I was young so I may make this for my daughter to play. Thanks!

[@tty23]

You make this looks so easy, I've watched a lot of PBS woodworkers make boxes, yet this is one of the best instructional video I've seen...and so I've subscribed

[@TheNachoDaddy]

Looks like a great gift project for the kids. I've got some cherry and maple that I've been saving for just such an occasion.

[@cartoon80s90s]

This is a beautiful box. Thanks for being an inspiration.

[@ljstorey1]

Great game. My husband bought me something like it last year for Christmas. Mine has the numbers 1 thru 12 on each end of a open box. It's a 2 man game & you play it until 1 person has put all their numbers down. I'm suggesting to my husband he make your version for each one of our grandkids. Thanks for sharing! Merry Christmas!!

[@WiscoMike920]

Nice looking box and pretty easy directions to follow

[@mprice7676]

I WOULD NEVER argue with the master, but I learned to play so that you can close any number that totals the die. Also, you can multiply the die together and close any series of numbers that add up to that number. So, a 4 and 5 means I could close the 9, 4&5, 2&3&4. If you add the numbers 10-12, you can multiply the die and close the 10&9&1 for example on that same roll. I think you can close more than two, and more than just the numbers rolled, or the total number. KZbin Search Shut-Box and see what I mean. :) You rock nonetheless!

[@RussellRoefer]

Great video this week. This looks like a game I could play. Love the inlay technique. I've dabbled in that and haven't done anything worth posting yet. Again, great job this week Steve.

[@stuartmilligan5088]

Played this game in Montreal at a pub last Summer. Came home made one right away. Very fun game already made 4 more for friends. Yours is very nice. I made the one with 12.

[@ahugandabetterplace308]

I don't know why I'm watching these videos anymore, what have you done Steve?!

[@SirDizarm]

This was the most beautiful box i have ever seen! I sure miss being able to make things like this!

[@claydawson4783]

I do 18th century living history events. The kids love playing this!

[@kaisaerpren]

I love the contrast of those two woods, maybe I'll make one this week, i don't have padouk but I have some purple heart and some beach maybe...

[@frankb4449]

Great project! Simple and easy.Thanks, Steve.

[@joshuabullion1429]

A very popular game that is played in british pubs. I actually spent most of my childhood playing this.

[@MarceloFreitas70]

Again, you will be the best grandpa ever!

[@MickeyCuervo36]

I actually have one of these that I played when I was really little. I think my mom played with it when she was a kid too. The felt has seen better days hehehe.

[@tefinn]

Another great idea Steve. Going to make a couple for gifts. Thanks!

[@RickRR22]

Beautiful little box! Really like your choice of wood and the inlay. Can't wait for next week!

[@NickAndersonCreative]

you could've played the 9 and the 1 for 10! Excellent diy tutorial btw!

[@ms0099rg]

One of your best video!! Thanks Steve!

[@sfsales2000]

Steves mustache is getting a little thin, Kind of Great Gatsby ish. LOL. Love the videos, great idea on the t-shirt shoppe.

[@aaronacj]

Nice stash in time for March.

[@H.W.S.Beyblade]

thanks Steve! i love these kind of projects

[@bovko1]

Great mustache there, Steve! You should keep it, it really suits you!

[@frankorona1]

Excellent game, very entertaining, thanks for sharing

[@CobrasArt]

Nice job Steve, great project lot of fun.

[@brentparker79]

Thanks for the idea. I made 3 this last weekend out of ash, brazilian walnut numbers and inlayed with red cedar for christmas gifts.

[@BrookNBones]

That is an awesome game. Love it.

[@kevindumont1640]

Your ideas are genius. Thank you for sharing sir!

[@Chris3836]

Excellent precision!

[@MrArchiewilson]

Love it great project and video Steve, but where do the batteries go?

[@TheBrotherKnight]

I like. I like a lot Steve. I know just the person to make one of these for. Oh did you say Shut the Box Game. I wonder how many throws it would take to keep a noisy teen quiet LOL. Don’t you just love them? Well done Steve best regards and thanks for sharing. David.

[@ecrusch]

Another cool project. Thanks Steve.

[@sparkyprojects]

For a variation you could put another set of flaps in the lid, then use it as a more competitive game, each player takes turns, first to close them wins ;)

[@АлександрАлександрович-я4м1з]

Мастер на все руки!

[@1Igster1]

Great project! Just finished making one out of oak and ply, with a walnut inlay on the top. Am going to make another but instead of mitering the corners I'll use finger joints.

[@graemeross4383]

I enjoy your you-tube video's - I'm going to print the plans for this weeks project as I have some cherry wood and some deep red mahogany that I've been saving for something special - thanks and keep up the video's

[@Lyndon1229]

I love this!

[@sk8rvendz]

Simple game, elegant box... I'd like to see your take on the towers of Hanoi.

[@TheBarnacleBlimp]

what a great project.

[@nassuncao]

Great project!! Best regards from Portugal.

[@JesusvonNazaret]

nice x-mas gift

[@Birdiemango1]

The music was brilliant :)

[@kpspike]

Love your shirt.

[@TOMA21207]

Great project. Love the game.

[@GeorgiaBoi70]

Nice project. Now........make a set of oak dice. That'd be cool.

[@jt13579]

Thanks for the inspiration. I have learned a lot from watching your videos. Just completed a nice 4 player version of this game and it turned out really well.

[@WalterKerr]

Always good stuff Steve, I like watching each week.

[@Handyandyworkshop]

Nice project Steve. Thanks for all the videos!

[@Corneillecendree]

Bonjour, je ne connaissais pas ce jeu mais c'est très intéressant et je vais peut-être m'en faire un mais il ne sera pas prêt pour Noël! Pardon, je suis français et si je comprends un peu l'américain,je ne me risque pas à l'écrire. J'adore vos vidéos, votre humour et vos belles réalisations! Amicalement. Éric, from Normandy (you know, I think!) in France.

[@rstephens049]

I made a table that will fit all my tools to 40in. Height. The table is 2ft wide and 4ft long. The middle section raises to make all my woodworking tools to a comfortable 40in height. I'll post a picture as soon as I can.

[@Teacher.jnd.22]

I love your game!

[@colbyhoffer]

Awesome! I was hoping you would make this.

[@HallowqueenCrafting]

I never knew that game had a name. My grandparents had one that someone made for us grandkids. It didn't have a lid though, just the tray. I'll have to make one for my kids.

[@SteveSam66]

Nice project. Thanks for posting

[@daviddriscoll88]

Hell yeah Steve you just gained a few points in my book, way to keep it real withe the silver and black. #Raider Nation

[@AnerevRel]

I used to play that with my dad when I was a kid! Maybe I will makenhim one for christmas so we could play again :D

[@abenacchio]

Nice job!

[@climbamtn111]

Someone get me a planer for Christmas! Lol Love your vids!

[@doyle201206]

Surprised to see this being made in California. We play this in England country pubs.

[@babybabyfish32]

Thats really nice

[@Woodentoolcompany2]

Very nice project. Well done!

[@DavidANeely]

that's a really cool game

[@Daynaleo1]

Love this game

[@Aerotactics]

I like this guy! If I could improve on that project, I would add a chalkboard to the top on the inside, so that it can be played anywhere.

[@mykhall688]

Great one.

[@frenchchedder]

Love it !

[@WhatIsKenDoing]

Nice job, Steve. I like this project a lot!

[@TheBonedady]

well it's official Steve you no longer look like House. Great looking game though, I will have fun building it, someone posted a good idea about the chalk board paint for the lid. Great channel

[@jkountz]

Excellent project, good Christmas gift too!! Thanks for posting!!

[@mariacelymong-balboa7981]

I wish I had the tools like you do.:3

[@kirstengacayan1903]

I love your video s

[@budbirkenseer5277]

Great project. I think my brother, son and grandsons will enjoy the game. Probably make 3 boxes for Christmas gifts. Any chance you have a PDF for the rules. If not NO biggie. I will create my own. I'll share it with you when (if) I get around to it...

[@DrunkPunkMusic]

It must be awesome to work like that, with wood.

[@TheBergy32]

I definitely like the project! However, I would make it with 12 flippers.

[@taimaa8064]

Omg gosh this game is so cool🐹😜😜😜😜👍👍👍❕❕😜

[@Cerbenix_]

Very cool project. One of my favorites. :)

[@STEVEBLACKA]

Steve good work as usual you and a few others on youtube have inspired me to get woodworking , i am currently collecting tools for my "shop" and hope to get started after Christmas some time! ..THANKS again . Steve

[@JillianRas]

Steve thanks

[@epkaos]

That mustache tho. Lol. I like it

[@jameslangley5898]

You should have put a dry erase panel on the other sure with a marker to keep score on. Just my suggestion

[@PhoenixCustomPrimiti]

Very cool!

[@dwdougherty]

Very nice.

[@ryan67203]

Good job. I might use this design for a dice game called 'sevens'.

[@TheSeancassady]

Steve, you could have knocked down the 9 and 1 on that roll you had of two 5's

[@TheSeancassady]

No, you don't understand how the game is played. You roll the dice and you chose which combination of numbers to knock down. If you roll a total of 10, you can knock down the 9&1, the 8&2, 7&3 or 6&4. It's a gamble because if you choose to knock down the 8&2, then you roll snake eyes on the next roll, you are done. At some point, there will not be numbers available to knock down for what is rolled and then your turn is over. We play this game every day at work to determine who has to cook except our box has numbers 1-12.

[@HallowqueenCrafting]

This is one of those games where the form stays the same, but there are a hundred different sets of rules. I played this a lot as a kid and didn't know it even had a name.

[@MarkMiller-zm2th]

Nice build sir.

[@KWhiteCET]

Nice project. You have a couple projects that involve making a box. Have you thought about making a humidor one week? Could be very similar.

[@justinpang5694]

hey your mustache got bigger. awesome

[@gbiscuits]

thanks! love shut the box!!

[@NOLAMarathon2010]

The Raidazz thank you for your support!

[@0aof0]

A nice christmas challenge game ;)
