Love that work and how it was illustrated. Didn't like the chatter at first and almost turned it off when I heard it - just a thought but the guitar was fantastic. Bravo talented man.

That's a beautiful combination!

[@mikeboehmer324]

Thanks, Braham. That purple heart really came alive with that oil :)

[@chrisburleson576]

was that tongue oil like the maple had? im thinking to put clear on top of the oil too. any thoughts?

Purple heart is always beautiful wood no matter where you use it.
On a tiny box the 3/4" is way too beefy.

[@kellysweetman6070]

I've got some purple heart in the shop. I haven't thought of what to do with it. A little box would be fun project.

[@mikeboehmer324]

It’s nice to work with and I think works well with little projects like this 👍

[@kobiekaasjager4822]

Wow wow wow

[@yaucalabi]

I’m just learning boxes and this was very inspirational!
The sanding pad you used is a slick way to say the thin edges and make them flush. Is that one sanding pad or multiple ones ?

Thanks a lot! Maybe I should be posting more often 🙂

Nice Box, bro! Can you tell me the song you have chosen for the second half of the video? I know this damn Guitar, but can't tell.. It kinda sound like a old RPG to me. :D

[@mikeboehmer324]

Thanks! The song is called "In the misty morning 3" by Sven Karlsson (licensed from Epidemic Sound)

[@ryanwilson5936]

Kind of botched that second pair of hinge mortises, huh?

[@mikeboehmer324]

Yes I’m not the best with a chisel

[@dannybar-zohar3831]

@@mikeboehmer324 Mike - awesome build, really. Which kind of hinges did you use?

[@mikeboehmer324]

Thanks, I don’t recall which hinges I used, most likely a set from Rockler

I recommend Woodprix to every beginner and not only.
