Thanks for this video! So many talented woodworkers make lovely boxes, but never talk about the basics of STARTING the project. I've built a few boxes, and I'm generally happy with all of them, but I always always stress about the thickness before I get started. I've never seen anyone else give their own personal range across several projects before, if they even mention the thickness, so as a newer woodworking, thank you.

@@NewtonMakes just watched the end of that - great job. I've been following your channel for sometime, just hadn't watched that one. Besides the way you break down the basics, and keep adding to those (box making, etc), I've enjoyed your explorations in other areas like the Dinosaur Fossil Inlay and your new scrollsaw efforts. I like to add some artistic flair to what I do and your channel definitely helps with ideas and techniques that can be cross applied to other areas. Thanks for what you do!

This is so entertaining and really kept a smile on my face that I really needed at this time. It's -5° here in Denver right now and all I can think about us going out to the woodshop and making some sawdust. More than likely my woodshop is freezing so I'm sitting here eating a grilled cheese sandwich and being entertained by one of my favorite woodworkers, you. Thanks again for cheering me up. Jim

I made 6 of your maple box with legs out of cherry and maple. They were gifts for relatives and went over GREAT. It is sooo elegant yet simple to make. I made a router jig for carving the curve because of the 24 pieces (and now I intend to make a few more). Thanks for the free templates on your “Maple Box” episode. I gave you a plug on my woodworking group,channel, I hope it helps you with subs. Best regards!

Thanks for posting this video. It helps a lot with trying to figure out what exact to build and how to build, well boxes. Ive been in construction work for, well, a long time and im making the transition from that to wood working. Even with the knowledge, experience, and skills ive acquired from the years of construction work...there is still room to learn how to do "something". I approach your videos, not as some who "knows everything" but as someone thats just learning how for the first time. I find thats the best way to go about a lot of things in life.

@@NewtonMakes yes, its definitely two different worlds. Just take your time, and I'm sure what ever hurdles you come across you can over come. Word of advice with finishing drywall. Don't use mesh tape for your corners butt joints, and joints...use "paper tape". Apply enough mud behind your tape. Also, remember it's better to apply too much mud, and have to do a lot of sanding versus not having enough.

Any tips for setting up a shop? Thank you!

I prefer a hard wax finish because it's easy to apply and even one coat looks great. As far as setting up shop, selling, etc, that's a lengthy conversation. I do have an older video about how to sell on etsy. You may like it.
