    Bel lavoro davvero. Ho provato a fare una cerniera tipo quella, ma il problema è centrare il perno metallico. Per grande cortesia, potresti dirmi come si chiama l'attrezzo che usi col trapano al minuto 10,06? Posso trovarlo su Amazon? Grazie.

    Love your work! Since you asked, I’m still fairly partial to spraying finishes. I was a professional painter/finisher for about 15 years and at least where I am, other painters would mostly laugh you out of the room for trying to get a perfect “factory” finish with anything BUT a properly configured spray rig and a nice clean spray booth. There is definitely a learning curve and it’s a lot easier to muck up a piece if you don’t know what you’re doing but we all learned how to spray mostly by making mistakes and trying not to make the same ones in the future. After a while, a spray practitioner will find themselves able to work some magic in the booth. In the end, the juice is worth the squeeze. Since starting my woodworking journey a couple of months ago, I have actually really learned to enjoy trying to get a nice finish from brushing and wet sanding with 0000 steel wool. It is different than what I am used to but very enlightening to learn that yes, you can get a REALLY NICE finish with just a good brush and some 0000 wool. Anyhow, thank you for the videos and keep up the good work!

    Yes! I love sanding. I find it mindless and relaxing.

    Wow. Way to think outside the box! It’s a better version of the original. Perfect keeping with the style and fixing the veneer problem at the same time. Love it.

    Hello there young man, An old boy here. Very nice project, with a lot of loving care put into it. I'm glad I didn't have to make the remark about pre-finishing the inner surfaces BEFORE you glue up. Reference: your previous walnut jewelry box (a big no no). One thing shocks me here: You give the top of your 4 corner pillars a nice splayed feeling, but ... 🧐😖 You end the bottom of these shapely pillars with a basic square section. Compared to all the volume and movement in this piece, they look very scrimpy and far too small. I think they need more volume, and movement- just like the rest of the box. Ideally they should splay, or fan, outwards @ 45°. Think of Renaissance Italian boxes; they often have animal claw feet, spreading out. In a proud fashion. After all, they carry the upper structure structure. These feel like canes. I know everyone loves compliments, but a bit of constructive criticism helps you advance, which compliments DON'T! I also feel the junction between the lid and the pillars could have been negotiated a bit differently. It's a good idea to do drawings first- that avoids pitfalls and allows a general picture. Please don't take offence; I am only giving you my frank opinion, after 40 years as a cabinet maker and furniture restorer. You're a fine young craftsman and I'm sure you'll be making more and more beautiful boxes. Best regards and greetings from France.

      @GM_Design Hello there (sorry, I don't know your name). Thanks for your reply. I was relieved to see that you hadn't taken offence. By God, I've made blunders and terrible mistakes in the past, that's the only way to learn. Mind you, I'm not saying you made a mistake, only saying it could have been done differently. Anyway, congratulations on your excellent videos- they are very well put together and are very clear. 👍 I must say you have a gorgeous array of Veritas tools, and jigs. We never had that sort of gems in my time- just had to do lots of handwork and reajust by hand and eye. Tools have a come a long way since. Enjoy your gems. Cheers. Ralph

    What shooting board and planer are you using? What is the ratio of the final Oil+Wax+Turpentine finish? I asked ENCurtis but never received a reply. I like the thumb crevice but my taste leans to it being a little longer. Very nice work, indeed!

      thanks, so pleased you enjoyed it 😀 the shooting board & plane is by veritas - VERITAS SHOOTING PLANE UK - www.classichandtools.com/veritas-shooting-plane-pm-v11-blade/p1456 US - www.leevalley.com/en-gb/shop/tools/hand-tools/planes/70926-veritas-right-hand-shooting-plane VERITAS SHOOTING BOARD UK - www.classichandtools.com/veritas-shooting-board/p1457 US - www.leevalley.com/en-gb/shop/tools/jigs-guides-and-fixtures/110737-veritas-shooting-board And with regards to the finish, I started off with a third of each then added more beeswax to get to the required consistency I wanted, a soft paste. Hope that helps 👍
