I wish I could LIKE this video more than once! excellent detailed explanation of the processes. I love the idea of using the pin to secure the slide. I love puzzle boxes. I hope you create more, with additional hidden lock ideas
The more I watch you the more I just wanna spread the knowledge and good techniques you have. Also I like how u implement the comedy sketch into the show. I'm surprised you don't have more views. I know you get a lot of praise but it's well deserved. I'm still looking for someone local that would want someone around just to help build and needs an extra hand for free so I can pickup on some skills. I'm just a hobbyist and they may never change my trade by day is a Flooring Contractor.
Hi came across this video by chance, at first with the silly genie i thought OMG! but when it kicked into the box making, I was captured. I want to say Thank you. Your instructions and explanations were very clear, and Precise, and the whole video was easy to follow, and i enjoyed watching it. I also like the fact you explained about other alternatives, ie sanding and planning, which was excellent too!. So well done for an enjoyable video and i will be watching more, BTW the keep sake boxes are a great idea, for gifts and i think i will be trying to make a few of these myself... Once again Thank you!....
Beautifully simple. One suggestion, instead of cutting the male out of the bottom blank, cut two female dove joints one top and one bottom, with an hour glass shaped piece to use as a joiner. Might be able to match the wood grain then, since you could use a thinner blank. Also you could use a darker piece of wood to highlight the joint. Just a different take...
Seldom do I literally LoL but after the( drop )followed by PSB notice then to the fix it part with the background music is when my laughter came out loud ! Lol!
@mightywombat Never owned a DeWalt. But I started with a Makita. That was actually stolen from my garage. Jet sent me their saw which was nice for a while, and then Festool sent the Kapex. So I bounced back and forth between the two and ultimately settled on the Kapex.
Hey there Marc. To drill the hole for for the pin and its hole in the corner bit, you only need to tape the corner bit to the lid from two directions and drill it all in one go ;-)
I have to admit, I LOL'd when you dropped your wife's box. Great idea, but you scare the crap out of me when you were cutting the waste area away from the male dovetail on that tablesaw.
8 qrtr African Mahogany? NICE! i know its just a box, but its beautiful wood and beautifully done. lock with the sliding dove tail is a really cool idea. also lmao @5:20 i thought that was funny. great video
Excellent work Marc, thanks a lot. Lovely video, good pace and very informative as well as knowing there might be a few hiccups on the way. I personally think the regular square box shape was better.happy new year to you all.
Crap! I just accidentally deleted someone's comment. Here it is reposted: I really like your videos. Many helpful little tips. I wish I knew about not routing between the fence and the bit last Saturday. It took my piece and shot it out so fast. Scared the crap out of me. lol ---cranesgonewild
@1pcfred Yeah I do need some bench hooks. But that the same time, my work bench is there to be beat up. So it may look nice, but if it stays that way, I must not be using it. :)
Ok, you caught me off guard when you dropped the lid of your wife's heart shapped box and went straight into the repairing minor flaws and scratches....LOL, that was funny.
@TheWoodWhisperer It's the Makita I was thinking of. That's crazy that someone straight up stole it out of your garage! I need to make friends with someone who gets really nice tools like Jet or Festool sent to them so that I can get their hand-me-downs! Or get myself sponsored by some company... somehow.... Gotta get my blog working for me!
To make the contoured box, did you shape it first, before the dovetails? At what point do you contour the sides or was it contoured after the box was "done".
Very cool, I was thinking you could inlay a Tic Tac Toe pattern on a square box and keep some wooden X's and O's in the compartment or even a basic Peg type game or both and give it as a gift to a child.
dumb idea but adds more pop to a box, cut a lot of parts glue them back up in a pattern or randomly then use that full size 12/4 blank Mix wood a lot of scrap pieces 1 and 2" thick parts that are over 24" long lay the parts at a 45dgr and hide the dovetail that way.
You finish the box with ArmorSeal? Tell us more about that. I assume it is a floor finish, but lots of choices with ArmorSeal at Sherman Williams. Thanks, Joe
FOR THAT HEART SHAPED PIN YOU COULD CUT IT ON THE ROUTER TABLE, JUST MAKE SUPPORTS THAT EVENLY HOLD THE LID AT THE CORRECT HIGHT OVER THE BIT AND RUN IT OVER. I'M SURE THERE IS A BIT THAT MAKES THAT SHAPE. OR YOU COULD CUT IT SQUARE FISRT THEN HAND SHAPE IT WITH CHISELS AND GOUGES. I'M SURE YOU ALREADY KNOW ALL OF THIS .
Cool project! I'll have to remember that for this year's Christmas gifts. What you could do to spice it up is add some inlay banding. It isn't hard to make, even if you don't have a cnc, you could fairly easily do this with a router table and/or a table saw. Check it out (ua-cam.com/video/RkXjWW76FrY/v-deo.html).
VERY COOL BUT SURELY IT WOULD OF BEEN EASIER TO TAPE THE TRIANGLE INTO PLACE AND JUST DRILL THROUGH FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LID I NOW IM PICKING HOLE FOR THE SAKE OF PICKING HOLES BUT THOUGHT IT MITE HELP SOME ONE IF THEY DIDNT HAVE A DOWEL CENTRE :p
um, 2 inches .... lumber coming out of a sawmill is typcally grade by the rough thickness prior to planing, and 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, and 8/4 are very commion sizes ....
great video, my wife said she is going to try to attempt this project sometime in the future. she is only starting out. Liked and subscribed trying to put together a channel come check it out say hello thanks again :)
Unfortunately i do.... This "real" feminist nonsense is just funny, the majority of internet feminists follow the stereotype, but it is certainly wrong to generalize, though, i am fairly certain that if the tumblerite feminists saw that certain comment he made in the video, they would be pertty mad.
Marc,
I can't wait to try this. Thanks for taking seemingly difficult projects and making them look less daunting.
Wow! Just watched this video... you’re so young, but seriously, you’re a great teacher! Well done
I love the opening skit so much!
Outstanding! 3:00
Hidden Compartment or Puzzle Box!
Thank you, finally, details, details, details.
:)

Awesome looking keepsake boxes and very educational for me. Thanks Marc!
I like how your t-shirt was almost foretelling your future when you dropped the box lid.

Yo no lo hubiera hecho también. En serio, tu trabajo es espectacular.
Gracias por enseñarlo.

What a difference 10 years can make

Crazy in a box! Very Good!
good idea I will be making this but as a wedding ring box and pen box thanks for a great vid
Bonjour,
Très belles idées, et malgré que je ne comprends pas votre langue j'ai très bien enregistré l'art et la manière de faire les choses.
ROGER BOUCHEZ oui
your face as the lid fell......priceless.. cheers
Touché ...!
cool project, and that mahogany looks awesome with the finish, the grain almost reminds me of a Gibson guitar, except they use Honduran mahogany.
Simple & Elegant for Holidays 2015! TYVM!
I have to admit, I LOL'd when you dropped your wife's box. Great idea, but you scare the crap out of me when you were cutting the waste area away from the male dovetail on that tablesaw.
19:10 Rockler sells a set of dowel centers for $7. pretty cool Marc. yet another reason why i'm subscribed
Love this Channel and all the videos that you post, I cant wait until i make my own
beautiful! I'm going to try that!
Did you try it?
8 qrtr African Mahogany? NICE! i know its just a box, but its beautiful wood and beautifully done. lock with the sliding dove tail is a really cool idea.
also lmao @5:20 i thought that was funny.
great video

@deleetmeeh well thanks! I appreciate it. Just keep an eye out in Craigslist. You might find something like that there.
As always, even in what appears to be a simple project there is much detail in the process, keep up the great work..:-}
lmao you videos never fail to make me laugh at least once. That cut to the "scratch repair" after you dropped the box was hilarious
Crap! I just accidentally deleted someone's comment. Here it is reposted:

awesome build!!!
Haha, I love this channel. So glad I found it.
Nice work as usual!
thanks for the video! really nicely explained
Thanks for the great video. Here's a new twist (literally) to this box work. Could you incorporate a threaded lid with this fancy make?
The heavy black mustache is a good look for you. LOL Love the project also.
hahahahaha that slide to the scratch repair was funny :)
@1pcfred Yeah I do need some bench hooks. But that the same time, my work bench is there to be beat up. So it may look nice, but if it stays that way, I must not be using it. :)
nice video, easy to understand.
Ok, you caught me off guard when you dropped the lid of your wife's heart shapped box and went straight into the repairing minor flaws and scratches....LOL, that was funny.
I just saw that bit... made me laugh as well. 😂🤣😅
you should do a basic keyed miter jewlery box. Please?! i can;t do it without you lol. i've already made the clock and need more sweet projects
sweet video definetly going to try it !
U need 2 pick up a scroll saw. U can make very tight cuts. Can't believe u don't already own one. Just a thought.
@TheWoodWhisperer It's the Makita I was thinking of. That's crazy that someone straight up stole it out of your garage!

You could use a wood burner and burn a design on the top of the box
I can't put a link in the comments here, but if you go to this episode on my website, I have a link right there for the templates.
very nice. I want to make this for my sister in law and her future husband. however; can not find the plans. please advise :)
Nice box! the product placement ads are working! will be heading to SONIC for lunch today
Bahaha.... The Great Woodini is a boss.
i love these videos :)
really helpful and presented perfectly!

that is awesome cool thanks

does anyone still wear sideburns and a mini goatee like that? nostalgia
great vid thanks
LOL "when repairing minor flaws and scratches..." XD
Nice work. What wood type do you recommend for this type of job?
The little dog-eared reccesses can they be cut by hand and what with?
Got to love the Spongebob turban :)
This is perfect for my keepsakes! Love the design. I will build it, they will come.
Genie in a SpongeBob towel? Hahahahaha!
Marc, do you prefer your jet or your festool miter saw?
nice
You have had a LOT of different miter saws! Jet, Festool, DeWalt... Why the turnover?
What other wood can you use instead of mahogany?
haha that logo is funny but great vid
What type of finish did you put on it?
Imagine hand made wax for cars there? wow!
Nicole most likely tore ya a new one when she found out but i gotta admit, i did giggle a little :)
@Pedrofreestyle97 You can probably just use a chisel if you're careful.
How much would it cost me to buy one
Haha I didn't expect that...
Great "break" away.

I hope sonic sponsors you.
