Woodwork Project: Christmas Gift Box - Hand Tools Only
This video shows how I built a simple wooden gift box using hand tools only.
The materials are very cheap and only a handful of tools are required. The joints are build rather than cut so it's a great project for a beginner.
In the video I refer to some other projects:

Woodwork Tools: Introducing the 78 Rebate/Rabbet Plane
Переглядів 15 тис.5 років тому
A bit different to my usual projects, in this video I take a look at the 78 style rebate or rabbet plane. I'm going to be using a rebate plane in upcoming projects and so thought a video introducing it might be worthwhile. I recently bought a second hand Record 078 from a flea market and so in this video I clean it up, sharpen the cutting iron and make some test cuts. This video may be useful t...
Woodwork Project: Three Pot Planter from Reclaimed Hardwood
Переглядів 2,7 тис.6 років тому
In the project a make a garden planter for three plant pots using some wood I salvaged from an old garden table. I use dovetail joins to join the edges and use some simple carving to add a design to the end. I use a band saw, chop saw, trim router and thicknesser machine in the project, but most of the work is done using hand tools. I use the machines more than usual in the project as I had rec...
Woodwork Project: Wood and Resin Coaster Holder
Переглядів 2,7 тис.6 років тому
In this project I show how I made some holders for the coasters which I made in this previous video: ua-cam.com/video/cLhgCuRzRB8/v-deo.html The cylindrical wood and resin sides to the holder are a perfect project for turning if you have access to a lathe. However, in this video I show a method for making them without requiring a lather. www.adventuresintshirts.com
Woodwork Project: Make an alternative to a clamp when you don't have enough
Переглядів 2,3 тис.6 років тому
This video shows a quick and easy method for making an alternative to a clamp, using simple wedges to apply pressure. This video is probably most for those who new to woodworking, those with more experience no doubt have used this method, one like it or have their own solution. However, if you need to clamp up a job for gluing and you either don't have any clamps of the right size, or you just ...

Woodwork Project: Jig for Mitered Corner Boxes - Using Hand Tools Only
Переглядів 54 тис.6 років тому
Hand Tool Woodworking. I recently set myself a challenge to build a mitered corner box using hand tools only. The hardest problem in that kind of project is cutting accurate 45' angles along the length of a board, so I designed this jig to help. The reason behind all of this is the recognition that a new woodworker with a limited number of tools is often prevented from trying out some more adve...

Woodwork Project: Coasters from Scrap Wood and Resin
Переглядів 76 тис.6 років тому
This project is a little different as it doesn't feature much in the way of fine woodworking, but I hope you'll enjoy it none the less. I rarely throw away anything that I think might come in useful and so I have various tubs and boxes of odd scraps of wood stashed around the work shop. In this project I make use of some of the scraps by making a set of coasters. I make a sleeve by constructing...

Woodwork Project: Japanese Toolbox Style Box Build
If I have to shoot a really long board (5-6 feet) would you think say, making the two side pieces hollow triangles work out?
That's an interesting thought. If the material you use for the sides is rigid enough, it might work, although you would lose some depth due to the workpiece not being able to sit flush with the faces of the sides. I think some experimentation may be required.
@@adventuresint-shirtswoodwo3905 I am trying to find a way that will work with 5-6 feet long miter/bevel. somehow if a way is found to put the piece between the rails and the triangles that should let a much longer board be slide in. i could add further triangles to make a strong supported long jig
@@BrianMoore-gp8ot I'd be interested to hear how you get on.
@@adventuresint-shirtswoodwo3905 I do like however that in your jig its the blade / plane / cutter thats angled instead of the workpiece being angled. I feel one should be able to extend the cutter to a longer length with much less wood and support than if we had to support the workpiece itself at the inclined plane. The workpiece I can support on some framing whose only purpose is to hold it up at a level height, and somehow we need to find a way to slide the setup along the piece, perhaps with some long piece of wood acting as a rail.
@@BrianMoore-gp8ot You have definitely given me something to think about.
Job well done
Thank you
Thank you for sharing. Great video - easy to follow. Finished one of these today!
That's probably my bad editing, the book matching was definitely on the visible side.
Happen to have the Montgomery Wards version of that plane...No issues.
Nice
Good build but instead of the lollypop sticks I would cut a rebate with My 45 plane.
Yes, that's a sensible approach. I did set myself the challenge of building this with minimum tools as many people aren;t as well equipped.
It appears that you're no longer active on UA-cam, but I wanted to tell you that you did a sweet job on the boxes and an excellent job describing the building process.
Thank you. I will hopefully get back to adding new videos when life affords more time!!
Do you have plans
No, sorry.
Really enjoy your videos and your voice is excellent for voiceovers. Perhaps sell your services. Excellent idea of making a garden box with dovetails. Gives it a little more longevity. Dovetails can be corrected if you take out too much material. Luthiers or instrument repair techs do this on a neck re-set, if the guitar/violin has a dovetails. They often find the maker or former repair tech has already tried to make good a bad fit. Your video has made me rethink a garden planter idea I have. Thanks
I will 'correct' things from time to time on my fine work, we all make mistakes, but I think it's best to work with the assumption that taking off too much material should be avoided in general. Luthiers tend to be exceptionally skilled and I never fail to be impressed by them
Very late to the party. This is exactly what I was looking for. I made one from various offcuts, only had to order the lollipop sticks, and it works perfectly. Thank you so much.
Excellent. I'm glad it worked for you.
I just cleaned up one of these today, missing the fence unfortunately but the basic plane is totally sound after a hundred years and some light oiling really brought it back to life :) I figure I'll just use an external fence and we're all good.
Excellent. There's usually a way to get around missing bits with a bit of thinking.
Beautiful work, and not a single woodpecker square or thousands of dollars worth of machines in sight.
Thanks, a tight budget can be liberating!
Interesting idea, I've got a huge box of wooden pen blanks from years ago, might be a good way to use a bunch of the more plain looking ones up.
Go for it. Just make sure the resin is suitable for a deep pour.
Great work! My congratulations. I was left with the impression that you left the bookmatching of the top panel on the inside. Was that on purpose?
That may have been my bad editing. The book matching was on the visible surface.
Tank for the video
Thanks for watching
Beautiful!❤
Thank you!
So many great tips!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
This box captures the essence of Japanese design, simplicity and sophistication at the same time. Thanks for posting, I learned something new today..
Thank you very much!
Beautiful work😊
Thank you!

I have just seen your video on making this project. I am only just starting out with woodworking. Would it be possible for you to send the dimensions of this mitre shooting board. Thanking you Trevor from Australia
Hi Trevor. Good luck with your woodworking journey. I don't have the exact dimensions to hand, but i would stress that I built this with bits and pieces I had to hand. Thinly really important things are to cut accurate 45' at the end of the side pieces, to ensure the front is bang on 90' to the sides and to make sure the from rails are parallel. I use lollipop/popsicle sticks in a lot of projects like this as the are factory engineered to dimensions with enough accuracy for woodworking. SO they are great for making spacers etc.
very nice
Thank you.
Move your light from behind you so you won't have to work in your own shadow all the time. It'll be better for you and your work and also for your viewers. Otherwise great work.
Yes, I've improved my lighting set up so it's now much better. The shadow looks a lot worse on camera than it is in real life.
I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I do know it’s a bunch. Thanks for making a great video using hand tools.👍😀
Glad it was helpful!
Where have you gone mr t-shirt i have watched all your videos and they are fantastic please make some more
Hope to be back soon :D
I'm just starting woodworking, so its great to see how things are done by an expert!
Thank you, we are all learning.
Being obsessively enamored with all things of Japanese design, I’ve made several of these boxes in the past but still always watch because I always pick up something that helps with future builds. No different here, as the positioning of the second lid cross piece has always been the most tedious part for me as I can’t stand the slightest gaps at that step. Your registration block will solve that in the future. Thanks for that and the chuckle I got at the end with the realization that someone else repurposes their old sweat socks.
Thanks a lot. I also watch videos of things I 'think' I already know how to do - every day is a school day! And yes, I never run out of new uses for old socks ;-)
Wow… excellent tut! Bravo! 👏✨ Most big YTers use table saws and other machines to make a regular 90deg shooting board… let alone a carcass-miter shooting board! I’m thinking like…”umm, most people that actually need a shooting board don’t have machine/bench tools” lol
Thanks, it was the same frustration that lead me to filming this project.
Too many tips❤❤❤❤
Thanks :D
Aww, you never came back. I liked your photo transfer on wood video.
HI, yes sorry - will be back soon.
Absolutely fantastic video and a wonderful outcome. Thank you so much for taking the time to film these; it's just so good to see something useful being made that doesn't rely on hundreds of pounds-worth of electrical machinery. Subscribed!
Thank you. I will have more videos soon. I have been busy with other projects for a while.
Don't worry about splines for long grain mitered boxes
Yes god point, they held up fine without.
Wish every YTuber was as thorough as yourself in explaining things. Many thanks.
Thank you. I know my long form videos are not for every one, but there are plenty of other options for people to get a quick hit - I like detail.
Just a thought, if you use one of those refrigerator magnets under your thumbs, your thumbs will stay very cool and not heat up.
I may just try that, thank you.
You do your good job, thanks!
Thank you.
GREAT RECOVERY, AS ALWAYS I LOVE WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS..MOSTLY HAND TOOLS AN THE WAY YOU DESCRIBE YOUR WORK. EVEN THE SCREWUPS. LOL
Thank you. I should have more videos coming soon. And, I'll continue to show the screw-ups!
thank you sir! I am planning to do this on an antique bureau where somebody in the past decided to put nails right into the mitered corners of the legs, making a lot of damage to the mahogany! I would rather see splines than old nails that are doing nothing
Thank you. Yes, it's great when the functional components are also nice to look at.
I must compliment the outstanding instruction in these two videos. I really enjoyed them! Everything was presented at a good & learnable pace. You kept to your knitting and showed how the project could be accomplished with very basic tools. I appreciated your clarifying critical cuts and fittings and so many of the nuances of both using the tools to achieve desired results and successfully completing the project. Thank you very much!
Wow, thank you! I really appreciate your kind words.
Finally, a straightforward and economical solution to the sloppy fit of the adjustable miter to the track in inexpensive Craftsman table saw! Thank you!
Thank you. I spent ages looking for simple solution so in the end had to work something out and figured it might be useful for others.
That looks great
Thanks you.
This so cool! Downright inspiring. Thank you
Thank you very much. This is one of my favourite projects ever.
outstanding!!!!
Thank you.
Very nice!
Thanks!
Gorilla glue?
Hi Steven, it's Gorilla brand but it's their PVA wood glue, not the general purpose 'Gorilla Glue'.
Really enjoying your videos. Thank you.
Thank you :D
Nice!!!
Thanks!
Usually my comments are negative, but this video is fantastic. Simple, plain. The sound, language, photography all are excellent. Commentary is minimal and to the point. No rambling, stumbling, folksy b.s.. I've watched many hundreds, possibly thousands of WW videos. There are only about 1 or 2 dozen sites that can match this quality. Part 2 is the same. Charge on.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice but a little tight getting your hand in. I would have made it a bit deeper
Thank you. The dimensions were pretty much dictated by the size of the stock I was working with.
Paul sellers
No where close, he is the master! But, thank you.
Watching the planing made me tired.
It's a great work out though!
