Beautiful tool box. Too beautiful for me. I'd have it beat up looking pretty quickly. I do like the organization of things. Makes it easier to find where they're at.
When I was making it, I was sure it was going to get super beat up too, but after a year of use I'm actually very impressed by the shape it's in. There's a few dents and dings from putting the hand planes in but nothing that takes away from the overall look of the box!
just love that stippling teqhnique
It's by far my favourite way to add texture to a piece!
Very pretty tool box! The videography is wonderful.
(glad I don't have to lift it and carry it around) LOL!
Thanks, it's definitely a bit of a work out when I need to move it around!
Nice work! keep up the good work. You are very modest too, even though no one would have blamed you if you bragged about your excellent work.
Subscribed.
I appreciate that!
Absolutely stunning
A couple of my students have made these type of boxes. Not as cool as yours. But the lack of confidence in much thinner timber is staggering. Lighten up guys 😉
Great video.
I would say that's one of the hardest things to learn because as soon as you see a thinner piece of wood it just looks weak!
@@morganhurst_redridge You are right. We should trust looking at pieces made before. I show my students drawers and carcases made 100 years ago, and how delicate or rough the joints might be. Furniture repair & restoration teaches us so much. Including where pieces break, grain direction etc.
Great job -- beautifully crafted!!
Well done. Came out wonderful....
Thank you!
So sharp ,beautiful 👌 😎 👏 😍 🙌 ✨️
Thank you, cheers!
Beautiful work. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Thanks!
What a beautiful piece. You should be immensely proud of what your achieved. Love it
Thank you!
Awesome video!!
Thanks!
This is a very classy wooden toolbox.
Actually far too valuable to store tools in.
Your work is very accurate and exquisite.
I also like your designs very much.
Not ordinary but very unusual and beautiful.
You don't see them very often.
I also had a quick look at your website.
Very good website.
Tidy, clean and easy to understand.
So you taught yourself everything.
My respect for you.
Thank you for showing us this
And I hope you continue to enjoy your hobby.
Great work!Love the carved texture throughout.The tool placement seems well thought out. SPLENDED.
Thank you, it was kind of like playing tetris, find a spot for one tool then hope there's enough space for the next!
beautiful
Thank you!
It's a pearl!
Well done Morgan. Absolutely love this. Putting the texture on was a great addition. Also cool that you got a compass plane. Stellar work brother.
Thanks, I really need to find some more methods of adding texture. I like the stippling, I just don't want to use it on to many projects!
The compass plane was definitely an interesting find, I wasn't expecting to buy it when I did but it felt like one of those times where if I passed on it I wouldn't see one again for a long time.
Wow...that's gorgeous! You have an innate way of explaining steps that not only makes perfect sense but easy to understand. I plan to attempt a similar chest for my tools now. If you get tired of this in your shop it will easily accent as fine furniture on an end table in the living room. Nicely done!! Frankie
I'm glad you enjoy the way I make the videos!
It's kind of funny, like I mentioned, I didn't know what I was going to do with this tray and one of my initial thoughts was just a nice kitchen tray. Some day when I have a shop where I can build out a tool wall or have a really nice cabinet this tray will probably retire to the kitchen and be a nice place to keep "the good cutlery".
Nice job! I'm wanting to build a dovetailed tool box to take my spoon carving tools outside and was having a hard time engineering the handle uprights while still using the the natural strength of the grain. Your solution was brilliant. (subb'd)
I'm glad I could offer some inspiration!
Now that’s a box worthy of the tools it holds! Great narration by the way!!
Wonderfully done. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Perfect
BEAUTIFUL PIECE!!!!! Great work.
Glad you like it!
26:16 I know you said you wanted to miter the liner to align the top. I would think you would have done it using the dovetail joint ... just continuing with that detail, in my opinion, truly pulls it all together. Great project ... I've got plenty of scrap wood to make this next!
Looks great I like walnut and cherry. It’s probably my favourite wood combo
Especially when the cherry ages a bit, those darker colors look great together!
Fantastic design. Keep 'em coming!
Thanks, I've got all kinds of projects planned out so you can look forward to more videos soon!
Nice work. The finished product was classy and practical. I liked the ethos of hand tools where possible because it often gives the best results. Look forward to more projects.
I'm definitely moving to a more traditional/hand tool focus in my woodworking. I'm finding that sometimes the machinery and power tools just make things move to fast and I don't get to enjoy the project as much, it just becomes about making saw dust!
Definitely a stunning piece, well done !!!
Thanks, I still haven't gotten used to seeing it in the shop yet!
Beautiful work. I enjoyed watching this build.
Glad you enjoyed it
Looks amazing beautiful work
Thank you, cheers!
Perfect work!
Thanks a lot!
I have a friend at the flea market that gave me a box with 18 Stanley hand planes. Several different sizes. They all need a little work but they are gonna be fun.
Lucky! The nicer old Stanley's can be pretty hard to find!
@@morganhurst_redridge A couple are rusted beyond repair. The rest just need a good cleaning and sharpening.
Stellar piece. I like these full build voiceover videos best.
That's good to hear this is going to be the style of video I'm sticking with on this channel!
Very nice job of both wood working and video production. You have two Jack planes. What do you use one and the other for. Thank you
I actually use three different Jack planes! The Low Angle Jack is for the shooting board or if I'm working with some challenging grain because I can easily swap out the blades to different angles. One of my No. 5 is specifically a finishing plane, I'll sharpen the blade dial in the depth then not change it again until I need to sharpen the blade. Then the other No. 5 is for general purpose, the blade on it isn't as good so I let it do the heavier stock removal and worry about tearout with the better No. 5.
The 1/4 sawn walnut really does look nice! Thanks for explaining your rationale on wood movement, I'm always fretting about that.
Happy I could help make wood movement a little less stressful, I spent so long worrying about it because alot people make it sound way worse than it actually is!
Wow, this popped up on my feed today and I'm glad it did. What a cool design, build and video! New sub! Thanks for posting.
Thanks for the sub, I'm glad you were able to find my channel!
Looks really great, especially with the stippling effect you added. Have you thought about adding a decent chamfer plane to your hand tools? I like the one made by Saker, which is small, durable, and comes with six replaceable inserts for around $40 total. Great job on the piece and the video!
I've wanted to but I didn't know they were that cheap, only one I'd ever seen was the Woodpecker which was a little to expensive. I'm adding the Saker to my amazon cart and it'll soon have a place in the tool box!
Glorious work 👏
Thanks!
What a beauty!
Thanks!
Great project. Thanks.what is the oil you used to finish.?
I don't remember exactly, but it was either Tried & True Original or Tried & True Varnish. I highly recommend both, if you're looking for a really good natural finish!
I like the design, seems to have some Arts & Crafts elements. I have played around with making tool boxes too. Weight and size matters as far as it being practical . I find that anything this large and heavy should be a cabinet. However, Very nice work!
That's kind of the awkward point that I'm at! I'd prefer if this was a cabinet to but I don't have a place I would be able to hang one and this format let's me quickly quickly clear off a work surface by safely putting all my tools on the floor.
WOW!
thank you Morgan . psst thats cast iron and steel yup heavy
Would be awesome if you made a really nice guitar display case! This company, American Music Furniture, makes very quality pieces
I'm hoping to make one for my brother in-law, his office is a little small right now though so it's a someday kind of project!
Love it!!!
Thank you!
I've never heard anyone call setup blocks setup "logs". good content
I must have mixed up my words, that's pretty funny!
Great build! Almost too pretty to use lol! I really like how that texturing came out, especially on the walnut.
It's definitely going to be a few months before I let this thing get dinged up!
I have the same double side tape - too sticky imo! toolbox looks great, thanks for the video!
You have to make sure you're getting the woodworking tape, it's actually really different from the normal stuff because it doesn't damage the wood grain as bad as every other double sided tape I've tried.
Here's a link to the specific tape - amzn.to/3m34MjQ
The box is just beautiful. Really wonderful. But does he need one? Where to carry this set for this handle?
I will definitely give a like for a beautiful work.
Funny enough the handle has proven to be more useful than I even thought it would be. I've gotten in the habit of keeping the tool box out of the way but when it comes time to work with hand tools, I can bring this whole tool box over to the bench and I have access to pretty much every tool I'll need. Then when I need more space on the bench, I quickly pack up the tools and carry the tool box back to it's spot.
Wow.
Nice project, with insights and helpful explanations thorughout your video. I'm a new subscriber, looking forward to other projects.
Thanks, I've got a bunch more projects that I'm really excited about coming down the pipeline!
You could put all the set up blocks into a removable tray for quicker access to the spokeshave. Nice video!
I actually planned around doing that but the problem I ran into is the walls of the tray would have to be at least 1/4" thick which mean losing another 1/2" on the inside length of the tray. So I made the compromise that once a month when I use my spokeshave, I can just unpack the setup blocks.
Love the channel, and the great vids! Dumb question concerning the chisel box, why didn't you just call the base the lid and vise versa?
Thanks, but I'm not sure what you mean about the chisel box?
@morganhurst_redridge I commented before seeing the end product lol. I was thinking since you glued the lid and not the base, and expressed mild regret, you could have flipped it and cut the base as if it were the lid, but now I don't think that would have worked.
What a fantastic build, a little ott perhaps considering it's perpouse .by the way the shape of the top of the handle support is known as a gothic arch at leastways here in the UK
It's a bit fancy for a toolbox, but it's a ton of fun to look at in the shop!
Thanks for letting me know about the Gothic Arch, I did a quick google and I have to say it's given me some major inspiration!
I gasped when I saw you taking the file to the pins 😮, but I do appreciate seeing how others accomplish things. Thanks for the content brother 👍
I've had some bad luck using my chisels for tuning up the pin, so I find the file is a little more controlled. Still working on the chisel technique though, hopefully I'll get past using the file soon!
@@morganhurst_redridge I hardly ever cut myself with a file. :) I notice when you saw dovetails, the board vibrates a lot. I have the same saw and it doesn't do that. It could be a lot of things but if you had less vibration, the cut would be smoother.
Funny doesn't look like a tool box. awesome job your creativity is showing
I think the same thing every day when I go out to the shop, it's definitely a little to nice for a tool box!
nothing beats using a freshly sharpened hand plane or chisels, well really any freshly sharpened hand tool. I always end up cutting myself somehow, from the tool or the corners on the wood, and it takes longer, but it's far more rewarding and fun.
Those cuts from a sharp wood edge are the worst, it's like a paper cut on steroids! But they do mean you've got a nice sharp edge so it's the good kind of pain!
Hi Morgan, what gouge did you use for texture? Numbers look like 7/12
It a Hirsch #7 20mm
@@morganhurst_redridgeThanks I don’t have that number combo but I do have a 7/14 and a long curved 7/10. Recently started down the carving rabbit hole.
“It’s not light” haha… great work. Love the design
Thanks, I figured I should include my first reaction to how heavy these lovely tools are!
Thanks for sharing. I just got my heating bill. Yikes. 25% higher than last years. I am on a lumber hiatus as well.
Just means you gotta get creative with what you have or start looking for some cheaper stuff! If you keep an eye on Kijiji or Facebook marketplace sometimes amazing deals on lumber will pop up, I got really luck last year and got a good load of white oak for around $4 a board foot because the person was just clearing out their parents garage!
My first dovetails (35 years ago?) used a jig and electric router but it's been decades since I stopped using the infernal screech machine for this. Unless you're doing a serious production run, for me, hand cut are preferable in all respects, including overall time spent. In fact, everywhere you used an electric router here, the operation is simple to do with hand tools. But, you be you and thanks for another entertaining video. BTW, I've been doing mortise and tenons for many decades (I'm 69) and still approach them with a bit of trepidation. Who wants to mess up a nice piece of wood? As to the stippling, you can get a similar but easier to accomplish effect with a narrow, short radius-grind roughing plane, varying direction as you go. Love your sharing and hope your channel grows.
Yeah, the router can be a little annoying and with hand cut, I think it's just the effort that goes into them that makes them slightly cooler!
That's a great idea with the plane, I'm still trying to find one that I can turn into a scrub plane because I love all the different textures I've seen people create with them!
Are there build plans or lumber list available?!
Just follow the link in the description of this video and you can find the free plans on my website.
Nailed bottoms are not evil, when appropriate. You keep being you. As to mitering the corners of the box edge inserts, check out Michael Pekovitch's 'How and Why of Woodworking.' He is a big fan of Kumiko and shows how he uses a jig for those critical angles and a mitered shooting board for mitered inserts. LOVELY work, buddy!
Exactly, nailed bottoms can be a quick and practical method!
I've been planning to buy that book for a while now but I know when I do, that will send me down the rabbit hole on Kumiko! I made a 45 shooting board at some point in 2021 but I think it accidentally ended up in a dump run. I was planning on making another one for this project, but I was running out of time for the video and chose the slightly faster method.
Welp. I finish my Dutch toolchest and you have to go make something cooler 😜
Looks absolutely amazing, Morgan.
I’m planning to get some gouges to do some surface carving. What kind of gouges do you have? I have a 20mm narex firmer gouge in my LV wish list.
Hey, your Dutch tool chest is pretty awesome and I just have to much time on my hands to put towards projects!
The only gouge I have is a Hirsch #7 20mm, I want to get a few more sizes in order to do some more carving but this one is the perfect size for the stippling. I liked the Hirsch a little more than the Narex when I was looking at them because you can buy the different radiuses, #11 being the smallest and #3 being the largest.
@@morganhurst_redridge oh good to know about the radiuses! I thought something was missing from the Narex gouges but wasn’t sure. Thanks again for the tip and for these great videos!
Nice result! Which size Hirsch Straight Gouge did you use for the texture? #5, 12mm?
Thanks, the gouge is a #7 20mm. I'm hoping to get more sizes soon to have some more options for texturing or carving.
@@morganhurst_redridge Did you mean #7 12mm. I see a 12 in the video.
You are correct, I had to double check, it's #7 12mm.
Stop it. Just stop it. That’s freaking amazing.
Thanks!
nice
Thanks

What do call that palm held planer you used to bevel the edges? around 18:55 mark.
That would be the Veritas Skew Block plane. It is one of the more expensive block planes on the market but for all the features it has it's also the best in my opinion.
@@morganhurst_redridge thanks,i want to get myself one.
What was the router trick? I didn't quite get it.
I used my palm router with a really short flush trim bit to get a perfect base line on the dovetail pin board, this came from Mike Pekovich and if you watch this video he goes over the technique.

Morgan, might you have been at RISD in the late 90's? 'Cept I just heard you mention blanket chest, which made me think RIT.
Given that I was born in the late 90's in Canada, I can't say I was!
@@morganhurst_redridge, conclusive! Thanks for the quick reply. I ask because your method of attaching the handle supports is unusual, and I have only seen it used in a toolbox made in a class at RISD at that time, with the slight variation that it was dovetailed into the housing. All the best with your beautiful woodwork!
5:47 would have sworn that was quartersawn walnut….
Well, that's embarrassing... No matter how hard I try some mistake always has to slip through!
@@morganhurst_redridge good thing I’m here to keep you on your toes😀
I enjoy your videos because of the quality of work that you produce out of the pieces of wood you use. But may I suggest that you limit your talking so we can focus looking at your work.
Sadly I didn't watch the video because of your 'over abundance' of commentary. I'll check back later to see if you've changed your 'posting stile'.
Please, don't come back.
