Walnut Herringbone Box

[@JessicaHill]

You showed excellent restraint, not letting a cuss fly when you broke through the bottom. I said a swear for you.

[@TheMannyG]

I imagine he cusses a lot off camera

[@crystaldawn9188]

I know this is from two years ago, but I'm just now watching it, and I have to say that when he broke through, I yelled out, "OH PETER NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

[@ghostbeebuilds]

I heard the audio cut out after he said darn it @4:16

[@sohamsengupta6470]

@@ghostbeebuilds Yep good observation. Still a super weak reaction though, I would've been swearing for two straight minutes if that happened to me

[@helema23]

@@crystaldawn9188 I had to keep myself from saying "that fucking bastard of a demon spawn box" when it happened.....

[@wattage]

My heart sank when you went through the bottom. But faith was immediately restored with your quick thinking-on-your-feet save. Very nice and it turned out beautiful! Great job!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Wow, it was an apocalyptic moment when you applied the oil! Those end grain patterns look amazing!

[@peterbrownwastaken]

+Scrap wood City Thanks! Walnut is so cool that way. It was almost too dark for the camera to pick up...

[@jomloft1]

For a second I thought you were going to go with plan c, bracelet. Nice save

[@Wordsnwood]

You are a strong and... oh wait, wrong video. Nice save, Peter. It looks gorgeous. I would have liked to have a close-up view of the bottom to see how the plug "disappeared". When you first cut off the wings I said to myself that you had enough there to make a second box, so it is kind of funny how useful that turned out to be. So, cutting board next week? Ha!

[@peterbrownwastaken]

+Wordsnwood (Art Mulder) I tried to show all the views. Sorry about that. You can see the circle on the bottom, but with all the joints, it sort of gets lost.

[@baconsoda]

That was a great save Peter, well done. Hollowing endgrain... use a sharp scraper, or negative rake scraper, like the rest of us and you will get a pretty good finish with no grief... well, unless you get too enthusiastic. I learned that tip from a professional turner of 55 years experience and it works. Best Wishes, Brendan.

[@Ratzmutz]

wtf is baconsoda?

[@baconsoda]

+Ratzmutz A 'bacon soda' is a meal made with fried Irish soda bread (bicarbonate of soda is the raising agent) and fried bacon, only bettered by the addition of a fried egg to make a 'bacon and egg soda'. Alternatively, you could have a 'sausage and egg soda' or, in extreme hunger, a 'bacon, sausage and egg soda'. A heart attack on a plate. Now you know. Best Wishes, Brendan.

[@baconsoda]

+Wilson Phillips Now, that's something I've never seen done with fried soda bread, on toasted soda bread melted cheese is wonderful. You may just have opened a whole new culinary experience in Northern Ireland. I will give this a go. Thank you, Brendan.

[@baconsoda]

+Wilson Phillips LOL.

[@peterbrownwastaken]

+baconsoda I had no idea of the origin of your screenname! Now I'm hungry for second breakfast....

[@JohnHeisz]

Good save! Beautiful result :) PS: I clicked on both, box and cutting board. Hey, maybe a cutting board that's actually a box too! "Secret compartment cutting board" - good for about 1 billion views :D

[@jacobmarks3569]

+John Heisz haha yeh he could of just made a box with a flat top?

[@peterbrownwastaken]

+John Heisz I really like that idea. "Ikea inspired cutting board with hidden dangerous stabby thing compartment!"

[@arcsmith4115]

+Peter Brown Yeah , i sugested that too! Try something like that.

[@walshjp17]

Nice box and even nicer save. Well done there, Peter. Well done.

[@teoteutza9400]

awesome project. I love watching your videos even though i don't have anything to do with woodworking, its just relaxing to see you turn, plus you are funny! :D

[@laurenbeckerle7977]

My Dad is a carpenter at work and makes furniture/stuff for your house in his spare time. Walnut has always been my favorite wood ever!!!

[@iamdarkyoshi]

challenge: make a cutting board that is also a box. You can store things inside it.

[@peterbrownwastaken]

+Luke Den Hartog I love the idea. I really do.

[@iamdarkyoshi]

+Peter Brown Then paint it purple. JK

[@jonny555ive]

[@MojaveMuse]

I love how you're not afraid to show when things go wrong and showcase your mental acrobatics of how to work through them.

[@NecroBanana]

Next week you should do something with bones. Hey, you've conquered wood, resin, crayons and even salt. All that's left is animal matter, and bones is where it's at.

[@kaidanariko]

[@peterbrownwastaken]

+NecroBanana Bones? I'm not sure I've ever tried that. Aren't they hollow int he middle?

[@otakuribo]

This, to me, is the essence of making ANYTHING. Making mistakes, and then rolling with it. Well done! "It's not a flaw, it's a feature!"

[@ScottHampshire]

Very good job! I would have straight up thrown the box in the fire if I blew through the bottom like that. Thanks for showing that mistakes like that are fixable!

[@XUltraPunchx]

Awesome video. Loved that you kept your mistake in and showed a solution. For budding woodworkers such as myself it helps to see that not everything will be perfect right away.

[@peterbrownwastaken]

+BaronZombie I can almost guarantee you every woodworker can find a mistake in ANY project they make! You're not alone. :)

[@MLE_anne]

What a beautiful box, I love the wood

[@theoldfarmerswife5915]

Beautiful! I have several bowls & wooden toys that my dad made back in the 60's & 70's. Never realized how much work goes into those

[@eldritchthorne]

Hey Peter! Have you ever tried your hand at making a music box/figurine/snowglobe?

[@Jbreuhan2]

The amount of restraint you showed during the little mistake was admirable. You are an inspiration to me, to look at these moments as learning opportunities and not to become crestfallen.

[@designsbyphilip510]

Great save....I was thinking a bracelet at the point the bottom came out.

[@rubymimosa]

I think when you fix a mistake is when I learn the most! Sorry that happened to you and thank you for including. Beautiful!

[@cpinktea]

wood turning looks so therapeutic

[@blizatrex]

the turning brought out some very interesting aspects of the glue up. doing this in differing species of wood would be even more striking.

[@symonf1966]

You made something out of the right stuff. I am impressed. nice work and nice video.

[@peterbrownwastaken]

+Symon Fobbester Don't worry. Nothing will be right about my next project....

[@ZacHiggins]

Wow, that was a stellar fix Peter! That box turned out just plain amazing, great shaping on it and that grain... just wow!

[@tommurphy1153]

TEAM BOX WOOOO... IN YOUR FACE TEAM BOARD!! :)(So weird seeing you actually turning regular wood. :) )

[@peterbrownwastaken]

+Tom Murphy Ha! Go Team BOX! It was strange to be just making a wooden box...

[@IICubeII]

+Peter Brown Couldn't you just make a board using the herringbone pattern? I mean it's not like that was the only wood you have in your shop.

[@peterbrownwastaken]

+Zac Fitzgerald You're absolutely right. I totally could! But the fun was the choosing. So now, I'm off to another crazy idea. :)

[@kzookid2051]

The grain that comes out from the herringbone pattern is amazing. It almost looks like regular grain, not glued-up boards. Very neat idea to try for other projects. Thanks!

[@katangel115]

Could you make a hollow cutting board? One big enough to store a few small pairing knives or slightly larger ones?

[@jean-marclabonte2844]

What a lovely box. I really like the look after the finish was applied. This is my favourite piece of 2016. Thanks for showing the build and the save.

[@drake7547]

you should make something out of nothing but leftover shavings

[@theLuigiFan0007Productions]

doing what you're not So, basically reinventing MDF pressed board and turning it..... I like it! :D

[@tuesdaywithanh]

Do you think he could cast shavings in resin? Does that fit the requirements of your request, or is that count as using something besides shavings?

[@NJBoyd]

I have to admit, box was a really good call, the curves and hard edges work fantically together, beautiful repair work too by the way!

[@c0baltv0id8]

That one time his bandsaw sees timber

[@diddeldodo]

You turned this beautiful piece of wood into something even more beautiful! Congrats and thx a lot for sharing!

[@baileyohrt7920]

I think using a different wood when you repaired the bottom would have looked amazing!

[@kaidanariko]

Especially if he stacked the different wood on the rest of the walnut so it looks all walnut from the outside then you look in and BAM it's oak.

[@peterbrownwastaken]

+Bailey Ohrt A contrasting wood can be a pretty fix too! Here's a oops from a few years back... i.imgur.com/i4PHHPV.jpg

[@eketelon]

Excellent example of overcoming "on the spot redesigns". Great work and thanks for sharing and teaching.

[@ImranZakhaev9]

When you broke through the bottom I thought "what, but there was a finished product in the thumbnail, you can't destroy it!"

[@Arariel3]

Brilliant recovery on the bottom. I'm actually happy it happened so we could see you're design adjustment. Thanks!

YEAAAAAS I WANT TO SEE THAT!

[@Ampera_]

+Jose Quintela I was sad that this wasn't done. It was suggested in the previous video, but now the ship has sailed. I don't think doing slight alterations of projects is a good idea, and this is a good box too. Keep up the good work Peter, your videos are very entertaining. My favorite series is Dip It, so dip some more, wackier things with epoxy (Maybe a live gerbil!)

[@slick714jq]

+LizardQueen yeah that's what I was hoping for on this video :)

[@FrontierSettler]

+Jose Quintela it would be really cool if he would make a cutting board that you could slide open and store your different knives into. and maybe for an added touch put a knife sharpener on the side? or something like that.

[@kaylynn1702]

I was thinking of the same thing

[@HmmmmmLemmeThinkNo]

It is such a relief to see someone go through the bottom, and that you came back from it? Amazing and inspirational (in a "wow he came back from something difficult, so can I" way). Thank you

Man, you're one of my favorite KZbinrs. I absolutely love the fact that you don't edit your mistakes out; I've learned a lot watching you mess up and find a fix for it. Great stuff man, keep the videos coming.

[@KrystalMoonbeam]

Wow. Absolutely beautiful. When you went through the bottom I actually gasped. But then you fixed it. You sir, are a true craftsman. I can't tell you how many times with my own crafts I've made mistakes and just run with it. To me, that's a sign of true skill. The ability to adapt and work around mistakes. I also love that you showed us how you fixed it -- now anyone else who decides to try this will be armed with the knowledge and some ideas on how to fix things should they ever need to. Again, gorgeous work. I want it. :)

[@TheJennivision]

Peter, Thank you for the recommendations on beginner videos and the book. I saw the subtle nod toward my comment. I got a wood lathe for Christmas after years of wanting to learn turning. Finding your videos this past year really kicked up my interest again. Thanks again!
