Man, it's so hard to find wooden box tutorials that don't rely on industrial-grade machinery 😔 I'm trying to make a special Christmas gift for a person but I don't have any of this stuff that makes it easier. I appreciate the video, brother. Great end product 👍

[@edt765]

AAAAAAAAAAnd now I have this overwhelming desire to make decorative gift boxes.....................

[@NewtonMakes]

My job here is done.

[@HyperactiveNeuron]

You should go check out his earlier ones especially the one with the wooden bow. Blew my mind

[@in2rock275]

And here I am thinking all these years what to do with those baby doll heads. Thanks for the answer! Gorgeous little box.

[@seanbrotherton542]

Im getting a full course in box making watching your videos. Thank you for sharing! You should consolidate a long playing video with all your box making projects and tips!

[@Jeremy_810]

Thank you for the inspiration. Everyone's getting "cut off baby doll heads" in a really cool gift box this year

[@jonlassak1141]

I love simple projects like this. I've always had a box obsession since I was little. It's actually in making my wedding card box years ago that got me into woodworking. Now I do it full time from home and love it. Never underestimate the power of the box! Lol

[@BrianThorstad]

How have I enjoyed so many of your videos and not signed up for your Patrean channel? Dunno, but you bring value to my life I need to pay for. Thank you.

[@KSFWG]

I'm a sucker for a box video. Always have been, always will be. Thanks!

[@georgeherman7846]

I have been watching your videos for a long time. I love them all but this is awesome. Move over David Attenborough. Very professional made and edited. Can't wait for more.

[@1031Investing]

Very nice Billy! Thank you... Now have a plan for my cutoffs! I've purchased a few plans from Billy. You should too. Not expensive at all! It help guys like Billy to continue to give us good ideas! Thanks again Billly!

[@carldavis6902]

Great box !

[@Nissan300zxshowcar]

Gonna make one of these! Cool build! Cut of BD heads, having trouble getting that out of my head.... lol

[@Jizzlewobbwtfcus]

I started off watching this video thinking _"ye! Like I have all that equipment and different wood to do this"_ ... ...then I saw your tapered-end wood pieces TAPED and I immediately shut up! Blew me away man GREAT video!!!

[@jaymakes]

Simple yet beautiful. Inspired me to make a few similar boxes to house small gifts this Christmas.

[@BobbleheadCraftsman]

Great ideas.

[@danielespinola3388]

Hi guy, from Chile; great simple box... I'll make some like that Thanks so much for your knowledge

[@westfallframing7896]

Very nice!

[@kjh_woodworking]

Wow, I just watched your video, and as an experienced woodworker, I'm truly impressed! Your craftsmanship and attention to detail are outstanding. I loved how you showcased speedy techniques without compromising quality. Can't wait to see what other exciting projects you have in store! Keep up the fantastic work!

[@Kevin_Phu]

This design is so simple yet so elegant! I will be making some for sure!!!!

[@jdwht2455]

You convinced me of what to do with that piece of some exotic wood I have in my left overs box that has a great color and grain but have forgotten what it is.

[@hansolo.72]

great job🙂

[@dscritter614]

I've been watching ur channel more & more lately. I love ur upbeat attitude. Not 2 mention the super cool stuff u make. I make boxes. I just recently bought a spalted tamarind board ...blue.... Yeah, I know. I'm not dying that board, of course, but I could use it for the maple handle & legs, etc. Getting n2 the ball park of that blue/gray hue will b challenging. I'm using ur dye. Wish me luck!

[@elmaestro35]

Looks good. Great job

[@jackskelton6773]

I’m a new subscriber love your Chanel went to the shop made one immediately, lot of fun ;made mine of ash and zebra wood absolutely beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing 👍👍👍👏👏

[@isaiahs.7638]

Thanks to you I’m gonna make this box myself and put a ring in for the woman I wanna marry.

Cut off babydoll heads 🤣 You must have a daughter LMAO Excellent as always my friend 👏👏

[@woodfather]

oh thank god! I'm up to my neck in cut off baby doll heads over here, finally I can start storing them!

[@cabman86]

I glued sandpaper to a thick sheet of tempered glass. Works great because there is no give at all.

[@ethanhumphrey5758]

I will have to try that. What glue did you use that will stick to glass?

[@cabman86]

@@ethanhumphrey5758 I used a permanent spray adhesive. It stick pretty good to the glass.

[@mist4926]

Yes love it!!! Didnt you have to wipe the stain off that forst side

[@potatoes4022]

i am going to make a bunch and give them to my tinder dates! going to help me get some! thanks!

[@Jizzlewobbwtfcus]

The irony of giving a gift to someone which can burn on a site called _Tinder_ . Good one /thumbs up!

[@potatoes4022]

@Jizzlewobbwtfcus now that u mention it, I care more about my projects than that lol. Not giving them to random tinder girls

[@jimw544]

Love the box. I need a simple project to get me back in the shop. How did you cut the top/bottom pieces flush to the sides of the box?

[@NirvanaWoodWorksbyJanie]

Love this! Question: Can the box liner (3:02) go on the lid vs the box/bottom itself? Just curious

[@michaelwillson6847]

Billy beautiful box and looks awesome. Can I ask stupid question see if you didn't wanna do friction fit could u just add couple hinges to make it that way but keep the rest the steps the same?? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

[@NewtonMakes]

Yep absolutely. You'd probably have to use some tiny ones.

[@michaelwillson6847]

@@NewtonMakes no worries thanks for that think I'll look at that. Don't think my tiny brain could move to the friction fit just yet. 😞🤣🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@paulbateman5769]

I was looking for something to keep my sawn off baby doll heads in. Thanks 👍

[@justinbyers1441]

man that turned out slick brother nicely done, i wonder what that plastic piece was, keep making 👊

[@NewtonMakes]

No idea and it was right in the middle of the tree. So weird.

[@ironjungkwonful]

How did you get the top and bottom trimmed to match the sides? Thanks!

[@jewels2021]

Love your boxes, simple and beautiful, what blade would you recommend for resawing on the table saw ?

[@guybartlett9587]

That sand paper trick loks like a guitar makers tool?

[@mikekoerner1274]

Nicely done. What is the name of the clamp at the 1:32 segment of the video? Thanks.🙂

[@NewtonMakes]

Merle clamp. Just put the link at the bottom of the video description!

[@kayasper6081]

Oh yeah, I have being so dump not to think about how to give cut-off baby doll heads to my loved ones. Thanks for opening my eyes!😂

[@nicolasgoosen5142]

How did you cut the top/bottom pieces flush to the sides of the box?

[@Hunkiller-pj5qx]

Americans always have the gadgetry . I wish I find a video for a box that utilizes hand saws , planes , chisels etc .

[@terristroh3965]

Hmmm, if voters approve a certain bill in my state, there’s gonna be a bunch of people needing some boxes. 😎 I’d better get cracking!

[@michaelduff5432]

What are you referring to?

[@stephaniesummers7452]

Hey there. I have an answer for you! That weird piece of blue plastic you found deep inside the maple tree you cut down is A PLANT TAG. The grower puts them on the tree to identify the variety of tree. LOL They are meant to be removed before they become embedded.

[@jerrybengtson9779]

Did you apply any finish to the maple liner?

[@S4t4nk4]

Thank you fro the video, the box really looks stunning. Most probably a silly question but how did you trim the excess from the top and bottom pieces?

[@NewtonMakes]

At the table saw and then a quick hit with the sander.

[@dennisoshea4906]

Outstanding tell me about the clamp you used And where to get thanks

[@NewtonMakes]

Just dropped the link in the description 👍

[@AbitLippy]

When you use the pencil to hold the piece on the table saw, what direction are you applying the pressure?

[@NewtonMakes]

Down and against the fence. Just enough pressure to keep the piece from moving.

[@Cecil_X]

You must have a sister. The "little boy" came out in you. I recognize that comment - put a baby doll head in it ! 🙂

[@dondayton387]

What's used for a sealer

[@gpdoyon]

What bran of clamps are you using? The ones in this video are not the same as in your Amazon tool list. Great looking box, by the way!

[@NewtonMakes]

These are Bessey F clamps. I'll check my Amazon list.

[@CoreyAllenZ32]

that plastic that was stuck in the chain sawed maple looks like siding, i bet it was smashed into the tree by a storm and was grown over.

[@ethanhumphrey5758]

Do you think the brown dye trick would work on darker woods than maple? I am currently building a box out of some very highly figured Australian Red Cedar (which really is blood-red). Additionally, wouldn't it have been easier to stain it before assembly?

[@NewtonMakes]

It depends on the wood. You can always try it on a scrap piece beforehand. I wouldn't advise doing this step before construction. There is too much cleanup work like cutting and sanding to do before it's ready for dye.

[@ethanhumphrey5758]

@@NewtonMakes Thanks for the reply, I will test it on an offcut first.

[@justinbanks2380]

Cut off baby doll heads... 😂

[@UsernameWasLost]

Why do you resaw on the tablesaw instead of the bandsaw? Always makes me nervous having the tablesaw blade fully extended making a through cut like that

[@rangerlcfc]

I work at a hardwood timber yard. Access to soooo many large offcuts for free. Just ain’t got and can’t afford the tools. So frustrating

[@davedurkee8853]

Is the table saw blade extra thin or special in any way?

[@NewtonMakes]

Nope

[@hansblonk1465]

Missed the part where the oversized top and bottom are cut to size? 😮

[@mnb3566]

I wish he would have shown that part too. Newer woodworker here so I like to see all the steps on how to get to the finished product.

[@kylefisher4883]

He prob got it close with the table saws then finished up with a flush cutting router bit

[@herbsu4330]

Did i miss a step? How did you trim the top and bottom to the box?

[@dscritter614]

There never was 1 n the 1st place. Just the sides glued together.

[@herbsu4330]

@@dscritter614 When the top and bottom were glued on the overhang the sides. When he cut the top from the body they were flush.

[@dougengebo8928]

@@herbsu4330 I've made a couple of these and trim it up using a router with a ball bearing flush trim bit

You can have too many chopping boards, tables, cupboards and bowls but you can't have too many boxes.

ok - that was the scariest lid-removal that I have ever seen.....

I was here.

[@bestbuilder1st]

That plastic was a tree trying to be a river table- but all the other trees just laughed at it so he hid it.
