[@morrisonsusan]

Thank you so much, Skyler, for all the teaching you are doing in these videos; I appreciate your expertise and hard work. The boxes are absolutely gorgeous!

[@chrisoliver3851]

Skylar your videos make we want to make boxes. Keep it up Love your work!

[@TheDopalgangr]

The XTool S1 does a great job at making those lids, debating on pulling the trigger on one myself.

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

I reviewed many lasers. s1 is the top quality one so far

[@taichigoodness1798]

It is so kind of you for sharing your knowledge!

[@KSFWG]

I like the way you made the box bottoms and tops. I use the same technique, but at the router table. I usually use box joints, but once in a while I will use rabbets to make the box body.Thank you for your videos!

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Thank you. I love box joints. I usually use the incra box joint jig.

[@flashwashington2735]

Box joints for boxes. Rabbets for rabbits. 🤣🤣🙏🙏God bless.

[@jimhinkle7245]

WOW!!! VERY NICE!!!!

[@brian777999]

Great idea for the box lids ; no need for hinges. I have been trying to hinge my box lids but I only seem to get them correctly fitted 50% of the time. Your method is so much better. I tried it today for the first time and it worked well.

[@joediberardino4419]

Wow very awesome thank you

[@ljgault]

You've inspired me to make some boxes.Those came out beautiful.

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

You should! Thank you very much

[@miked8022]

Great tip on marking the saw blade edge. I've not seen that before.

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Glad it was helpful! I use it everyday and have to redraw every week:)

[@Sebastopolmark]

GREAT job Skylar, your videos are really progressing. We always get a few tips and tricks and sourcing for your accessories. Thanks! !! !!!

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Thanks so much!! Happy to help :)

[@radarguru566]

What great boxes! Nice idea for Christmas gifts. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

You are so welcome!

[@flashwashington2735]

I've seen the boxes, and the finishes before. But your execution, fantastic!! Your engravings really pop! Exemplary!! Thanks. God bless.

[@flashwashington2735]

So many useful tips. I watch twice. Thank you. I can't get over your cedar tulips lid. Really striking. You give so much info, so hospitably in short time. Your enunciation is clear, lilt of you're melodic voice. Well executed demonstration, camera and sound. Do you employ only one camera to minimize edits? You're so productive. God bless. I'm tired good night.

[@waynenelson8907]

I guess I missed the making of the cover. Do you have a video of that? Enjoy your videos and great ideas. Thank you very much. :)

[@samhandwich3965]

Agreed I'd really like to see how you went about the laser engraving.

[@norm5785]

Both look awesome. The Christmas one definitely catches your eye. Thank you for sharing your beautiful projects with us. Everyone stay safe, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia

[@jenda3322]

Velmi skvělá práce, jste fantastická žena Skyler!👍❤

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Thank you Jenda

[@pbgrafx]

I really like these boxes. They came out so beautiful. I suppose you could put potpourri inside and give them as gifts, or maybe tea leaves, though I imagine the smell of the cedar might add to the tea taste. Anyways, your creations are lovely as usual. Would love to see some wooden desktop organizers as I think you have some pretty woods that you got recently that could make a desk look really sharp. Keep the vids coming. You are awesome.

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Thank you. Actually a desk organizer is on my to do list:)

Skylar, where did you get the laser designs for your boxes?

[@TREE-TOPWOODWORKING-pe4qc]

Skyler could you please only when you have time,make a video on your laser settings and program making that box lid with the flowers cut in it.I have the longer ray 10w so I dont know if its capable of doing that.. Since I have posted this request hours ago I researched further an I think I have found some info I was looking for in the form of height maps ,stl and grayscale files for 3d. I still think this would be a great video when you get time to do it. Thank you.

[@KenSpock]

Fantastic. I have a laser machine and no way can I figure out how to laser 3D such as your tulips. Very nice work you do. Thx for sharing

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

I will have a follow up video, showing exactly how to achieve this look

[@protozee]

Cant wait for the follow up , where did you get the file I love it@@woodworkingwithSkyler

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

@@protozee I got the file on Etsy. Follow up video coming out in 30 minutes

[@curtdrahn8522]

I enjoy your show. Cutting glue brushes is a great idea, however I find that cutting on a angle gives me a nice ability to get glue in a narrow or tight area. I cut to 45 to 60 degrees. After use I dump them in a pot of water and try to remember to get them out the next day, a bit of rust happens but it cleans up and extends the use a bit.

[@russellfay81]

Really beautiful boxes. And I especially like how your finish looked, I'll have to give that a try. But I was really wondering what model of laser engraver you used? I saw your unboxing of the xTool, did you use that for these?

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Xtool s1 40W

Are going to do a video on laser engraving the Halloween box? I would like to see that done please.

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Yes, absolutely. Coming soon

[@ChadDanielsCoaching]

Beautiful box. Too bad you didn’t show how you used your laser to imprint the lid. It would be nice if you made a video on using your laser. Thanks!

[@Dta1996]

Nicely done. The aromatic cedar is nice touch as is the tulip lid.. Where did you get the tulip pattern? Did you use your cnc or did someone make it for you? Bot the box and the lid are lovely. Well done

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Thank you. The design is from etsy and I engraved it with my Xtool S1 laser.kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKrZZmWmnrJ9iaM

[@wandayoung810]

I absolutely love these boxes! Which engraver would you recommend that we get to accomplish these results?

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

I used Xtool S1

[@philbrown9198]

They really are fantastic looking boxes Skylar. I note that you glued the base on all four sides, do you ever have trouble with expansion / contraction of the base across the grain either on the base itself or affecting the side piece joints?

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Hi Phil. Its a small box , I dont think will be a problem. however, only been doing woodworking for a year and so fall all the boxes I have done seem ok

[@tomherman2277]

Have enjoyed your box making video's for a while now, I would be interested in knowing and watching how you made the top of the cedar box with the tulips. Was it with a lazer and if so please demonstrate?. Thank you

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Coming soon! I used a laser that is not yet released. I been testing it and it will get released on the 19 so then I can show exactly what laser and how I did it. Dont forget to subscribe and turn on notifications so you wont miss it

[@CorinaStMartinArt]

This is great! Which laser did you use for the engraving?

[@joecachia749]

Great video. What brand and model is your table saw and fence?

My table saw is a dewalt. Not sure what model but it has some issues

Very informative. Those boxes were beautiful. If I may ask, where did you get the vectors of the tulips and nightmare?

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

I bought them on Etsy

[@jeffgass89]

Great job! Those turned out amazing! Do you have a link to the file used on the nightmare before Christmas lid? Thank you for all of the tips and tricks. Your attention to detail is appreciated.

[@raylehman3653]

Where did you buy the beautifully engraved box tops

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

I made them

[@ljgault]

Skyler, those Jorgensen clamps are on sale during Prime Days (today & tomorrow) @ 29% off or 4 for $26.39.

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

Awesome. Thanks. I might get some more

[@DavZell]

The 12" is on sale, too, for 2 @ 24. But if you want 4 of each, they have a combo pack of 2 of each for $32. So that would be all 8 for $64 instead of $74.

[@madwilliamflint]

That's gorgeous. So I know you reviewed a few lasers. Which one did you settle on? Or are you still putting them through their paces?

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

I have two more lasers to review but I already know which ones I am keeping. Xtool S1 will permanently have a home in my shop and creality 40W will be my backup laser.

[@madwilliamflint]

@@woodworkingwithSkyler Excellent, thank you. Now to hold my breath and commit :)

Everything is excellent, but why you don’t look at the camera when you are near it 😊

[@thebigswede1736]

I'm curious. How did you decide to use dye from a guitar products supplier?

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

I was watching a video on guitar finishing, wanted to know what they use to get it so smooth and nice feeling, how they fill the grain etc. The person was doing a sunburst effect using vintage amber, cherry and tabacco brown. I loved the look so I bought the stains:)

[@flashwashington2735]

@@woodworkingwithSkyler I watch the luthiers also.

[@tomla3155]

Don’t you risk kickback when making a rabbet that way?

[@woodworkingwithSkyler]

No, because is is not a cut through. Its the safest and easier way to do rabbets.
