Walnut Jewelry Box

[@MrEgulino]

What a great video! No talking, just solid woodworking, quick and to the point!

[@GuysShop]

+Eric Gulino Thanks Eric!

[@gradeez]

For some reason, I love how not all are being fast forwarded. Makes me appreciate the workmanship more!

[@realpdm]

Ok, so I learned something extremely valuable to me here. . I've seen this trick of jointing a wide board and making that step. However, every time i've seen it they have built a sled that had to be run through the planer with the board. Usually when i'm doing this I am dealing with really long boards and I have no board long enough to act as the reference surface. This is the first time I've seen someone have the reference surface fixed. Thank you for showing this!

[@j.r.tidwell3318]

Great job friend. The cabinet hinge drill was a great add on. I went ahead and liked an subscribed. Think I could learn a lot watching your channel. Thanks

[@JayBates]

Excellent project man. I definitely need to make a 45 degree ramp for the shooting board.

[@GuysShop]

Thanks brother! I built that a couple months ago, and it has really helped out quite a few times.

[@magicman9486]

40 years a cabinet maker and just never used the shooting board all that much. Though to be fair, not much call when building kitchen cabinets.

[@BuiltbyBill1]

Looks great, Guy. Putting the new router table to work. I like anything made from walnut, and I enjoy your videos.

[@GuysShop]

Thanks Bill!

[@tomlagatol4448]

Don't know how I missed this video...It's a very nice looking jewelry box. I like the top design. Thanks, great video as always.

[@GuysShop]

Thanks Tom! It is actually the box that is on the front cover of James Krenov's "A Cabinet Makers Notebook".

[@mbo9058]

Learned a new technique for jointing wide boards. Another great video and build. Thanks!

[@GuysShop]

Thanks! Glad you could take something away from it!

[@Hiksan5]

Great - one of your best videos. Less talking and more doing. At first i missed the Why and How but then just sat back and enjoyed the quiet work. It is such a pleasue watching your meticulous work and lovely boxes materialize along the way.

[@GuysShop]

Thanks so much Ty! I'm glad you liked!

[@mikefarinella5268]

This man is a true artisan/craftsman. Thanks

[@WayneBrownWoodworking]

The box is another beauty Guy! The entire video from the no talk, camera angles, and editing was perfect. Well done Sir

[@GuysShop]

Hey Wayne! I'm glad you like it. I thought I would try something a little different.

[@BrettsForest]

Great work. And nice shop!

[@aarongeorge2672]

I really enjoyed the video! Whether you talk or not I enjoy watching the way you do things your very efficient and talented thanks for putting it out there for guys like me to learn!

[@GuysShop]

Thanks for the support Aaron!

[@NomadMakes]

Wonderful little build. And really nice use of the shooting board. I learn so much from your videos. Now to set it into practice... :D Cheers. Also love the Shoplife Podcast, btw. Just started listening to that one as well.

[@GuysShop]

Cool! Thanks so much!

[@karodora]

You have built a family heirloom for the special person who receives this. Beautiful. Love the style of your video.

[@GuysShop]

+karodora Thanks!

[@blackvic5157]

Talent first, skill second, dream shop third. There were a couple of tools in this video I've never seen before. But I believe Guy could turn out a good product with a cheap toolbox saw and a pack of sandpaper. And what I've learned about myself is that I like making jigs and designing and building my own machine tools more than I like the actual woodworking. There's a place for everyone under the sun.

[@markharris5771]

Beautiful! Such wonderful precision and care.

[@seanmontague2991]

Very well done all the way around. This video speaks volumes.

[@GuysShop]

Thanks Sean!

[@StuffIMade]

Sweet job! Great to see you put a box building video out there! Neat trick for transferring the hing locations to the lid! (every days a school day!)

[@GuysShop]

Thanks Geoff! Thought I would finally film one of the builds!

[@StuffIMade]

Did i see it correct? Did you use the router table for the 45% angles on the corners? I have need for very accurate mitres on 12 mm thick walnut stock, i guess this relies on your router being accurately at 90 degrees to the table surface.

[@GuysShop]

Yes, I used a 45 degree miter bit. It only will work on stock that is 7/16" thick however. I think they make some that have a larger cutting surface though.

[@broadsideguy967]

Great box, nice detail in the lid construction. The dust extraction on the router table looks to be spot on . Cheers

[@GuysShop]

+broadsideguy Thanks! The box turned out really well, and the dust collection on the router table is crazy good!

[@donnymcarter]

Incredible craftsmanship Guy! I like the video style mixup. It was very easy to follow along! Thanks for another great video!

[@GuysShop]

Thanks for watching and the support Donny!

[@pastorkevin1610]

Very nice work.

[@granty245]

Gorgeous box and a great video.

[@GuysShop]

+Grant White Thanks Grant! Glad you liked the style of this video.

[@PaweKrajewski]

Hey! A lovely box. Unique wood grain arrangement! Good job! Recently, I made a wooden box for my wife on my channel. Greetings from Poland!

[@derekdd5229]

Nicely done. Thanks!

[@thovarisk8699]

splendid work beautiful detailing!!

[@markhopkins7204]

Absolute artistry! Your craftsmanship is beyond next level sir! Obviously, questions abound, but my primary query is why anyone gave this a "thumbs down"? Thanks for sharing!

[@PaperCraftsIdeasOfficial]

The box looks fantastic, awesome job.

[@GuysShop]

Thanks!

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Superb!! I really like the contrasting colours of the walnut and the lighter colour lining inside.. neat video!

[@GuysShop]

Thanks Tomy! You didn't mind the video without talking?

[@HovingtonInstruments]

GuysWoodshop it was different for sure but at the same time I didn't mind it..was well made and all the visual was there to follow Along..👍

[@harrynewell912]

Beautiful piece and great precision!

[@GuysShop]

+Harry Newell Thanks Harry!

[@stevesteves8915]

Great box! Great video!

[@GuysShop]

Thanks Steve!

[@reforzar]

Nice work Guy. Love the bridal joints on the top. Keep up that hand tool work! 😊

[@GuysShop]

Thanks Brian! I'm always trying. HaHa

[@rickvanhooren548]

nice job. I admire your craftmanship and precision. +1 Cheers!

[@AndreaMerchak]

Beautiful! ❤

[@GuysShop]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Twansaxstudent11190]

Hypnotizing! Great video and project, Guy!

[@GuysShop]

Thanks so much Antoine!

[@akirch9]

Great stuff Guy! Attention to the details!

[@GuysShop]

Thanks Adam! It's the little details that can make or break a piece sometimes

[@rodolfofernandez5069]

excelente , que delicadeza de trabajo te felicito Guys , desde Argentina , saludos a vos y a tu familia

[@GuysShop]

Muchas gracias por mirar y el comentario agradable Rudolfo

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

Beautiful box Guy, straight grain is my absolute favorite, regardless of species!

[@GuysShop]

Thanks Matt! The straight grain was actually a design element. I didn't want the grain to take anything away from all the other details of the box.

[@tompritch56]

Another home run out of the park. Thanks for posting.

[@GuysShop]

Hey Tom! thanks for the kind words buddy!

[@BobMcKenziewoodworking]

Well done as usual. Love to watch the techniques ... inspiring.

[@GuysShop]

Thanks Bob!

[@maxx641]

Very nice!

[@UriValdez]

Nice box. Great skills!

[@GuysShop]

+Uriel Valdez Thanks Uriel!

[@diggerdeb]

Loved the video. Beautiful box. Awesome editing.

[@GuysShop]

Thanks Deb! Glad you liked the build and the video!

[@janbuzrla9314]

Very nice box and lot of precise work, Guy. At the first moment I was surprised when you were rounding sides of the lid, but at the end it looks interesting on finished product :-)

[@GuysShop]

Thanks Jan! The lid design was what originally drew me to make the piece.

[@rickhepler4360]

Nice work! Wondering where you get your stopped hinges?

[@tamaselkan8902]

Beautiful piece as always Guy, thanks for sharing!

[@GuysShop]

Thanks for watching Tamas!

[@huybigshot]

Really love this video! I've been dying for a video of one of your boxes. I also appreciate this style of video narrative. I would watch more videos like this without a doubt!

[@GuysShop]

+Huy Huynh Huy! Thanks buddy! I thought I would try to change things up a little bit. Glad you liked it, and thanks for the input!

[@andreasm249]

Nice work Guy!!

[@GuysShop]

Thanks Andreas!

[@TedAlexander24]

Very nice project and video.

[@GuysShop]

Hey Ted! Thanks!

[@dougnath2772]

Great job as usual Guy! The no talking was unusual for your videos but it worked on this one!!!

[@GuysShop]

Thanks Doug! I thought this project could kinda speak for itself without me blabbing...

[@johncocking5363]

Guy, Very nice. I am just getting into box making myself. I like the technique you use and I learned a lot from this. I just Subscribed and will look for other work you have. Thanks John in Pensacola, Fl.

[@GuysShop]

Thanks John and welcome!

[@mironline]

you have almost all best power tools in the market. (:like)

[@edwardcharles9764]

Ali Mirazimzadeh yeah it's a shame the video consists of little more than pushing wood through all his best power tools. Although he did use a hand tool to fit the hinges!

[@roboboil1648]

Nice video. I Watched it at least 5 times. What is the name of the tool you used for the hinges?

[@Cactusworkshopchannel]

Beautiful result and nice jigs!

[@GuysShop]

Thanks Carlos! You know me and my jigs....

[@laurac4562]

excellent videos, new to woodworking, what is that called that is holding the wood upright? I just got the 25 inch LS positioner with the wonder fence and the miter 1000. keep the videos coming you are helping a lot. thanks

[@laurac4562]

found it, a tenon jig.

[@KSFWG]

Beautifully done box, Guy! Nice video - an "un-talky", if I may... :) Also saw the new router table in action. Looking good all across the board! Thanks for the video.

[@GuysShop]

Hey Dave! Thanks buddy!

very good work. well done!

[@GuysShop]

Thanks for watching!

[@GarageWoodworks]

Loved it! I do a 'no talky' occasionally too for a change of pace. Definitely faster to produce for me. And, they're instantly translated into any language :)

[@GuysShop]

+GarageWoodworks Thanks Brian! I was pretty nervous about the release of the video. Some people really like it, however there are quite a few that don't. I guess you never know until you try, right! Thanks for your support!

[@GarageWoodworks]

Can't please everyone they say ;) The trick is trying to get everything across without words, which I think you nailed.

[@jimw544]

Nice, very nice work. I've been subscribed for 2+ years and just realized I had not checked the bell to be notified. Do you have plans for your projects?

[@StavrosGakos]

Masterpiece! Thanks for well done video. Regards!

[@GuysShop]

Thanks Stavros!

[@adamquincey4371]

Excellent, very nice...! Cheers...

[@GuysShop]

Thanks Adam!

[@TheOttacat]

Great video, I enjoyed the silent aspect, reminds of what it is like to work alone in my shop. Thanks for making and sharing.

[@GuysShop]

Thanks for watching and the nice comment Tim!

[@TheFalconJetDriver]

No talking maybe good for some, but what is the point of listening to a bunch of machine noise with no explanation of why and what you are doing. Sure we see the operations and understand what they are. You might as well sleep up the video 25 times realtime. The video would impart the same value. Guy you have made some very good instructional videos, demonstrating techniques and how to use various tools. In my opinion this is not the path to go down, share your talents, but this style of videos does not do that.

[@xisotopex]

why the card scraper? what are the use case scenarios?

[@andikabagas9288]

Modern craft.and skill men... Good

[@GuysShop]

Thanks Andika!

[@grantconner4121]

How thick is the top? A 3/4 in thick frame and panel seems like it would look way too thick but working with 1/2 in material would only leave 1/8 in of material for the mortise walls (using 1/4 in tenons). Really enjoyed the video.

[@dalebailey1116]

Did you do the carcass miters on the router table?

[@Stu_Louden]

Well documented video, I like the contrasting walnut and ash... The joinery on the lid is nice! Would a French Polish look good on quarter-sawn walnut?

[@GuysShop]

Thanks Stu! A french polish looks good on anything :)

[@stevebader6385]

Strong, silent type. I always enjoy your video's but do prefer to hear your melodic tones as you build. Great work, as always. Thanks for sharing.

[@GuysShop]

HaHa. Just trying something a little different. Thanks for the input!

[@SL1800]

So I need a squeeze bottle for my shellac and I need more shellac and I need to make a 45* ramp for my shooting board. Thanks Guy

[@GuysShop]

HaHa. The 45 degree ramp is nice for box parts, and I'm really glad I have it now. The finish on this is BLO then wax over the top of it, no shellac flakes were harmed in the making of this video. And yes, I do also have a small squeeze bottle for my shellac :) You're welcome!

[@herbsu4330]

Did I miss how you bevel the box corners?

[@medlahsiki7544]

Very good 👏

[@GuysShop]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@peterfitzpatrick7032]

Man but I got the heebee jeebees at 1:13 when u pulled the panel back over the cutter after routing that slot... 😨😨😨 especially with no featherboard or any other kind of support to prevent the bit grabbing the workpiece away from the fence ... I say this because I DID this when I was learning how to use my own router table several years ago...& it DID grab.... luckily I wasn't injured... but a lesson well learned... 😔😔😔 Nice vid tho... subbed & liked... time to dip into your archives... 🤗

[@TheTechGuider]

about time you made a 1 part video

[@GuysShop]

It was a little different for me that's for sure. But I really enjoyed making it. Thanks for watching!

[@fishindoc6025]

Inspiring video, where can I get that chisel contraption you were using for the mortises?

[@GuysShop]

Thanks Geoff! There are severeal manufacturers that make them. Just do a search for "router plane". Mine is from Lee Valley/Veritas

[@carbonitegamorrean8368]

I click cause I like walnut, but OMG that is well built.

[@GuysShop]

Thanks!

[@charlesholland6851]

awesome!

[@GuysShop]

Thanks Charles!

[@bangtan7butterfly]

Hey, i am really apprised to make this type of boxes. Could you Please tell me that how can i get that those machines. I am waiting for your replay.

[@GuysShop]

Machines like I have are availablefrom online as well as local retailers.

[@rontocknell3592]

Beautiful. Krenov is an excellent role model. I'm wondering about the mitred corners of the box though. They don't seem to have been splined. I know a box this size can hold out without splining mitred corners but it is a good structural detail. Krenov himself would almost certainly have used secret mitred dovetails. But nevertheless, It's a beautifully crafted box.

[@GuysShop]

Thanks so much Ron! You're the first person to point that out. Yeah, a box this size is plenty strong enough to hold together without any reinforcement, and have done this many times in the past without issue. Krenov's original box had dovetails holding it together. I guess I just got lazy :) Thanks for watching!

[@rontocknell3592]

I have to admit I've also done glued mitred corners on boxes without issue. Yes Krenov would use through dovetails... even his drawer fronts show the dovetails rather than hiding them. I've been meaning to try making secret mitred dovetails because I love the idea of them. But, if I'm going to go to the trouble of making dovetails, I don't want to hide 'em.

As a teen ager I think making and selling woodcafts is a great source of income but how muhc money do i need to start a woodcrafting? And im studying about carpentry in my school. Your work is very beautiful but I think it would be so hard for me to do taht because i dont have any machines i just have a hack saw lol. I love your work it looks like a vintage box.

[@alexeygutin2424]

Great video. What are the hinges you used, I'd like to buy a pair

[@GuysShop]

Thanks Alexey! They are from Brusso, and I think the are called 110 degree box hinges.

[@spencemade659]

Awesome project! What do you think of the Delta tenoning jig?

[@GuysShop]

Thanks Jacob! It's okay. It does take a little bit of work to make sure there's no slop in the miter slot and that the unit is completely stable on the table saw. Once that's done, it works really well.

[@MJ-nb1qn]

Nice Job! Liked that you clocked the screws. But then I’m a bit pedantic!

Какая порода дерева используется!???

[@igounfazed]

Saw this on Jays "Interesting Stuff From Around the Web". Would this make a good 'humidor'? I like the design used, and think it could be a good cigar box. ???

[@GuysShop]

Thanks For watching! I don't know enough about humidors to know if it would work as one or not. But if not, it could easily be reconfigured to work as one!

[@PedroMartinez-nl1gr]

Great job thank you for showing us. In the future, would you be selling blueprints of some projects? Semper Fi

[@GuysShop]

Can you let me know what slits you are referring to?

[@BrianMcCauleyDesign]

This box is absolutely phenomenal Guy! Love that walnut! Did you apply dye at end?

[@GuysShop]

Thanks Brian! Nope, Just a BLO finish then dark paste wax over the top of that. The finish and color of this is incredible.

[@robw9171]

@@GuysShop Just saw this video and I'm blown away. Beautiful! I love working with walnut and I'm particularly interested in the dark paste wax and the look it created in this project. Did you buy it or make it? Can you provide info on brand and where you bought it? I'd love to give it a try. Thanks!

[@MRrwmac]

The recipient is going to be proud to have such a nice piece! Quick little build for you. Was it much easier to record and edit without the voice? I enjoy working with walnut but always find it difficult deciding whether to put a low satin or gloss finish on such a beautiful wood! Both bring out different characteristics of the wood. Your use of dark wax on an already dark wood was interesting though.

[@GuysShop]

Thanks Mac! And yes, it was much easier to record and edit. I should say much faster anyhow. The dark wax is what I always use on walnut. I think it looks better when filling in the grain.
