In the movie industry they use “apple crates” to set things up that are similar sturdy plywood boxes. They are made to standard sizes so that they can be stacked evenly, and the dimensions/ratios are such that they have a common multiple so that stacking them sideways will come out even with vertical but gives you more height options.

Reminds me of my "carpenter's bench stool" I made many years ago from a design I found in a woodworker's magazine. I have used that for nearly 20 years and it is still as sturdy as the day I made it. A simple two-step design that has been very handy in the shop and around the house for projects both as a short ladder/stand and as a mini-work bench. Not sure if you have one in your video library, but if not it would be a great addition to see one you have designed and built. One feature rarely seen is a cutout to fit a door or plywood piece on the side so that you can plane the edges without a clamping system.

IIRC, similar boxes are used in the film industry, called apple boxes for obvious reasons. The industry has standardized on sizes, the full apple box being 20"x12"x8". Those dimensions allow several boxes to be used together to make regular shapes.
@steamer2k3192 жыл бұрын
Yeah. I was thinking something from the Fibonacci sequence so that fairly precise lengths could be achieved by combining/summing different sides' lengths. The idea would be similar to the 1:2:3 blocks that are sometimes used in metal working. Box side options: 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 4 = 2+2 6 = 3+3 7 = 5+2 9 = 8+1 10 = 8+2 11 = 8+3 12 = 8+2+2 etc. Maybe do +1 to get a different size after adding two previous sizes together... 1, 2, 4, 7, 12, 20, 33 3=2+1 5=4+1 6=4+2 8=4+4 9=7+2 10=7+2+1 11=7+4 Etc.

Great as always, Matthias. I like that the thicker rim makes stacking more stable. Anyone have the same Bessey clamps with the red wooden handles? HomeDepot two 6” and two 12”. I have several but half of them slip on the bar when I tighten. I’ve filed the notches with both a triangle and square file to get them a little more defined. I think it may be my bars went through the dies and it didn’t get square on the edges. It’s like one edge of the ridges isn’t pressed in enough. Every time I grab a clamp I end up finding one that slips and it keeps happening.

These are very similar to "apple boxes", which can be found on movie sets and in stage production. They don't actually hold apples. In fact, all six sides are solid plywood. Apple boxes are a bit shorter, and they have an additional cross member in the center which makes them exceptionally strong. But you can stack them like bricks if you need more height. Stage hands use them to hold heavy objects off the floor, usually so they can be seen by the camera or by the audience.

Sure do admire your pantarouter and box joint jigs but you do need a cudgel to hasten your double finger joint glue ups. My version of shop boxes serve the same purposes as yours but are built in pairs with two different sets of dimensions in increments that cover from 10" to 22". Mine were built when the cheapest 12mm Baltic Birch was still affordable and I used 1 x 1s at all of the interior edges. I used low pile office carpet on three sides and several layers of cushier stuff to make padded seating on the remaining sides. The 1 x 1s let me fasten the carpet with staples.
