This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.
Best investment I've ever made was getting the Kreg jig, at first I was a little skeptical about paying the money for it. It has paid itself off over the years. Thanks for the video, this will be super helpful when I go to make cabinetry for the shop!
I like the general premise. Great build! You could easily take the set of plans and convert them to more of a custom "craftsman" type of build by using hardwoods all the way around, although that would add considerable sanding and finish time to the build. You could also line the inside with Aromatic Cedar... a very nice touch. A Festool Domino would be as easy and as fast to use as the pocket screws and you would not see any obvious signs of how you did the joinery. You could also choose from several different types of hinges to give yourself or customers a more customized look to it. Great solid build using a simple tools and easily converted to a more "sophisticated" look and build. Thanks Shawn!
+Mark Koster Glad you enjoyed it. This was a collaboration between Jay and I. He designed it and created the plans while made it and created the video. Thanks for watching.
Very nice. Interesting how everyone makes things differently. Whenever I make something like this I build the box first then attach the trim after with glue and brads.
You build like I do in some respects. If that Blanket Chest had been on the Bismarck, it would probably be the only thing left that was still in one piece :-) It should last for generations. Well Done !!!!
Great job on the build Shawn. The chest is awesome. I like how a simple design can result in a beautiful piece of furniture. So nice of your friend to allow you to use his shop and booth.
Great job Shawn! I really like the design and the way it was built. The simplicity of the build makes it look like a professional job. Thanks for sharing
Fill the pocket screw holes and the other screw holes with wooden plugs (Kreg makes plugs for their pocket screw holes), and sand them flush with the wood/plywood before finishing. Makes the fastener system invisible and a much neater finish. Otherwise nice build!
I’m familiar with the kreg plugs. I’ve actually used them before and since the pocket holes were on the inside and not visible I didn’t worry about it, but I appreciate the explanation. Thanks for watching.
I agree. It does not go with the design and just does not look good. Some antique finish hinges would have been my choice but I could not have done better with the build. I would have been proud of this build.
Great video and project! At 2:45 you mention putting a v groove in the joints to help the paint stick to the joints during wood movement. What kind of router bit is used for this?
+Andrew Kinerson its called a flush v groove bit. Here's the website article where I talk about it more and list a link... www.stoneandsons.net/blanket-chest/
Nice build, I bought your plans and I'm currently building it. I have a question though. What router bit was used for the groove you said would prevent paint cracking? Thanks.
@@StoneandSonsWorkshop I don't get that about paint cracking. You only grooved in one spot. Does paint not crack everywhere if it cracks anywhere? Oh yeah, you did this three years ago. The wood would cost you 4 or 5 times as much now probably. Two months ago I bought 5/4 decking for $7.50 per 8 foot piece. One month ago it was $14.50. Prices are approximate but are representative.
I like it, but I'm surprised to see you use the piano hinge. Rockler makes such nice hinges which would have added to the beauty of the chest. Just my .02
For some reason, any project for family especially for your kids really feels much more satisfying to see the end result I'd say. It looks great!
+Way Woodworking Thank you!

That turned out nice! That is cool that you were able to go and learn in an actual paint booth.
It was a great experience.
Very nice. Interesting how everyone makes things differently. Whenever I make something like this I build the box first then attach the trim after with glue and brads.
+Kyle Veatch Thank you. I could've done that here as well.
Sweet build really like the blanket chest and brother does spaying with all the equipment and booth lays out a beautiful paint job.
+Thom spillane Thanks! Yes, the finish is great.
Nice work and gives me hope as a very novice woodworker.
Absolutely beautiful… Amazing craftsmanship.. Ya’ll will enjoy that piece of furniture for generations to come! 👋 from Georgia
Thanks
Nice work mate. It's good to see a different way to do it and easier I think than some of the other chest build videos.
Great chest! If I build one, I think I'd paint the inside plywood another color to give the 'panels' a nice contrasting color.
+modsquad8u Thanks. Interesting.

+Sawdusty Thank you.

+Bear Creek Woodworking Thanks! Several players in this one... it's Jay's design and Chris's shop and paint booth.
Really enjoyed watching you go through the build. My wife keeps wanting something like this, so I may have to take a look at the plans!
+Nick Pearson Thanks! it's an easy build.
Great job Shawn! I really like the design and the way it was built. The simplicity of the build makes it look like a professional job.
Thanks for sharing
+Roy Wrenn Thanks! It's Jay's design, I just made it.
I love that chest, and pure white looks so clean. Well done!

Very nice. However I think the piano hinge kinda ruins it. There are much better and nicer hinges out there. Great video and explanation!
+Wes Hamstra Thanks. It's just what I chose to do. If I made another one I would try different hinges and add a lid support.
I agree. It does not go with the design and just does not look good. Some antique finish hinges would have been my choice but I could not have done better with the build. I would have been proud of this build.
Simple but very nice. The wife has been asking me for a blanket chest for ages...
+Scott Powers Thanks. This was an easy build.
White always looks nice!
+Pritty Wood Thanks
That came out quite nice
+Aleksamaker We are enjoying it.
Sweet Paint job man.. spraying is fun. It's real fun after you do it a few times. 👍
+Jake Thompson Thanks, Jake. It was fun.
Very nice work. Thank you for showing us.
+kenneth rhoades Thanks for watching
Did you joint the boards and run them through the planer?
Came up great mate, there's a knack to spray painting to keep an even flow, beautiful project 👍
+Sumo's Projects Thanks !!
Nice piece.
Great Job Shawn!
+Mike Mitchell Thanks
That was a beautiful build Sir, the channel is really growing. Best of luck.
+Marc Eaton Thanks!!
Very nice build Shawn!
+Donny Carter Thanks Donny
Great idea for my needs and set of tools i have thank you very much
+Alexandros Vargie Great!

I wonder if there is a way to get the hinge to the inside?
Yes. There are a lot of different hinges that would work.
Nice job, very clean look!
+Matt Williams Thanks Matt
Great video. This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much for sharing!
Awesome!
Nice build, I bought your plans and I'm currently building it. I have a question though. What router bit was used for the groove you said would prevent paint cracking? Thanks.
Straight bit and tape?

You did a great job. I would have done some things differently but they would have been cosmetic to suit me.
Can you post dimensions. What did your friend use to thin the paint and can you post the part or a pic of the router bit, used for the V notch.
nice job fast build
muy buen trabajo felicidades
is it possible to screw the hinges from the inside to hide it?
Awesome job Shawn! 👍👊
+Fred McIntyre Thanks Fred
Great job
What type of wood did you use?
Looks great!
I like it, but I'm surprised to see you use the piano hinge. Rockler makes such nice hinges which would have added to the beauty of the chest. Just my .02
+Brandon Hopkins the hinge is strong, but I might would add a lid support and try different hinges next time.
I agree with the piano hinge comments. At least mount it so it's hidden when the chest is closed.
+Chris Good observation. I somewhat agree here. Thanks for watching
Looks great! I'm curious what kind of paint you used.
+guitarthrower Sherwin williams pigmented conversion varnish
Stone and Sons Workshop thanks Shawn! I figured it was something other than latex
Looks good sean! I've been considering purchasing the HVLP to use it for polyurethane.. do you think the hoses would get clogged up?
+Joe basement woodworking Not sure, Joe. I don't have much experience with HVLP. Maybe someone can answer here.
Stone and Sons Workshop oh okay.haha .well,,maybe I'll just buy a cheap one from Harbor Freight and give it a try thanks sean!
How do you like your Kobalt Miter?
It’s good, just big. It’s not 100 percent accurate as I use the miter saw as a rough cut anyways.
Only thing I would have done is cover the pocket holes inside then paint over them to hide them. Good video and build otherwise.
Thank you
I did something like this a month ago with plans from Woodglut.
Thank you Stone and Sons for design and inspiration! ua-cam.com/video/lAQfINySt6o/v-deo.html
