This was great, thanks, I've been looking for "woodworking desk accessories" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Yiyli Yeyavid Booster - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my neighbour got amazing results with it.
Yeah that's what the good video makers do. Idiots get on you tube and try to hold the caner, talk, and work on something all at the same time. Like dude we can't hear you all hunched over with your head under the hood lol
I like how Americans say “rabbet”. Blissfully unaware that the word is “rebate”. Somewhere along the line some American couldn’t spell. Just like Aluminium vs Aluminum.
Great project, Jay. Time for a helical head planer for you and I, it seems. I had the same trouble with tearout on the conference table I built recently, where I was using figured Walnut.
Beautiful work Jay and you have some lucky friends/relatives that will receive them this Christmas. Also - your wood selection skills is unparalleled. Congratulations on 300k, Happy Christmas, keep making great stuff. Chuck in Kansas
At about 1:00 into the video you mentioned the figure being more prominent near the "Bark Side of the Wood". When you said that I had visions of you, April Wilkerson and Steve Ramsey forming a Pink Floyd tribute band and recording that as your first album.
Just in case you don't know or, haven't thought of it, you can buy just one single brush to apply glue for years... I just toss the brush in a cut off plastic bottle after every use... Next time you pull it out of the water it will be good as new.. :) I have used the same brush for a couple of years now... Just remember to change out the water from time to time... Wood glue goes rancid and stinky...
Great looking boxes by the way :) I have some really nice real amazonian mahogany that was harvested before people thought about saving the rainforests, that would look great accenting some of my "close to the bark" highly figured laurel wood... on some of these boxes... I like the not cutting all the way through when separating the lid, I have had some scares with filler pieces falling out and trying to jam itself between the workpiece and the blade before..
Nice boxes Jay, they are going to make Excellent Gifts for people at Christmas. By the way Congratulations on getting over 300k Subscribers, not sure if anyone has mentioned it but hey Well Done. Barry (ENG)
O man, good tips and insight, thank you! I had to stop and write this comment after you suggested testing the 45 degree angles with plywood... wish I'd thought of that last time!
LOL. I thought this was a recent video (wasn't paying attention) When I started the video I thought Jay was under the weather or something. His voice is so different from present day. LOL.
i think that u could have sandwich the inlays before cutting the mitera right? great build man, i love how u change your woodworking skills in this last season!
Three Thumbs up for this one Jay.. 1 Beautiful Wood, 2 Very good craftsmanship in the making, 3 helpful tips for others to learn from. I am sure the recipients will appreciate the effort you have put in.
Thanks so much for the tip regarding the table saw step to separate the top and bottom of the box. I have screwed up more than one project by cutting all the way through the stock. Now I know what to do. Thanks for your advice Jay! Kenny C.
I agree the best gifts are made with love and care. By the way, I enjoy seeing the Detroit Lions, Tiger’s and Detroit Red Wings flying in the background. Learning how to create the box made me click on the video.The flags waving in the background made me stay for the whole video. Good job!
Those look really great Jay. I am drawn quite a bit to the hickory box. Another way to get prefect miters is to use a 45 degree router bit in your router table. Works great!
Anyone not sure if the timber is stable put it under your bed for a few months to cure it. When gluing use a bowl of hot water and a clean cloth, any excess glue you wash off. Bad mitre joints, use a screwdriver blade "(the round part ) to rub the sharp edges in towards each other and close the gap.
Jay - been following you since day 1. I know this is old but caught a much newer vid where you were praising the helical jointer and cursing the the conventional planer. Time for a new planer w a helical head LOL - That Dewalt is ok for rough work on a jobsite but they're far from ideal for figured or very hard stock IMO. You can get helical heads for them but I'd put those $$ toward a bigger better planer. Maybe one of those iron monsters from the 30s or 40s you could rebuild.
Have you thought about making a musket or Pennsylvania Long Rifle? Most of the craftsmanship is wood working. I would love to try it, but I have no skills with carpentry lol.
Mmm...........I would be worried about the strength of plain mitered joints. I use a miter lock router cutter - you can mill away a rebate of about 3- 4 mm for inlays lines on the vertical edges,
How do I measure or (to do) if I want to make a box with a 45 degree angle, like yours in the video for coasters measuring 90 X 90 mm Each corner should be sawn at a 45 degree angle
I'm going to send you a Blackhawks flag in a box. Lol I love your videos though. I am brand new to woodworking. I am learning a lot from them. Thank you!
So a helical head is up next for your planner? Really beautiful boxes! When using solid brass hinge screws, I will get the same size in steel and use them to "tap" the threads in the wood. The steel screw is less likely to break. If I plan on removing the hinge as part finishing or such I use the steel screws until I mount the hinge for the last time. Looking forward to part 2.
Very nice work Jay. I bet you would love a thickness sander. I actually got rid of my planer after I bought mine. Great video Jay , very well explained.
I would murder to have a woodshop like yours. Sadly where I live, any legally inhabitable house will cost you at least $400,000 even in the worst areas.
We had a huge order of spalted butternut come in to Southeast Wisconsin about six months ago. All the suppliers were selling it for a great price. My guess is that isn't maple. Maybe Nick Ferry got butternut up in green bay area too.
wonderful workmanship, You go though all the trouble making a wonderful product, then you short cut it by putting on premade hinges, should went though the hassel of making your own, you have the tools and knowlege
Lovely job. Do yourself a favour and make a longer base for your trim router and it'll straddle the entire box so it can't tip over when you're cutting out the hinges.
I see saw at 8:20 that appears to be crosscut or dovetail saw. The handle makes me think it is a Rob Cosman saw.... If so, what is your opinion? I have a lee Nielson saw.
Jay if the top and bottom are plywood how do they match the grain layout of the rest of the box so well?: I was a little confused about this part. I just got some nice burl wood that I was going to make a gift out of and the top and bottom seemed like a place I would like to skip using this if possible.
i plan on making a similar box as a gift and was wondering if the miter joints are really enough to keep the box together with out splines. i'm sure they are i just over think everything and just want reassurance. my plan was to just do rabbet joints but i think the miters will look a lot better
Any reason why you wouldn't finish the box and lid before installing the hardware? Seems like it would be easier than trying to finish around the shiny new brass.
Beautiful work Jay. Did you have any trouble removing the tape from the inside faces? I've done that before and the dried glue squeeze-out in the corners made it difficult to remove the ends of tape.
Hey Jay... As always awesome work!!! I remember a couple of months ago you were talking about a video with higher FPS... What did you decide about that?!? The quality of your videos and editing keeps getting better every day... I dont remember if I ever mentioned but I'm an airline captain and your videos entertain me a lot when I'm traveling all tge country and spending several days away from home... Congrats on everything and as always best regards from down here in Brazil
Nice work. Another way to cut the lid is set your blade just a hair deeper than the box thickness, after you cut 3 sides tape a few spacers in there the thickness of the kerf and make the final cut.
before cutting the box open, its good practice to true the bottom by rubbing it on a sheet sandpaper on a true flat surface. when its all even there will be a slight suction to the tablesaw top. if any side is hanging lower or higher than its neighbor it will make those opening cuts not match, even from the smallest of hangout.
congrats on the 300000 subscriber milestone that is awesome Jay!!!💯💯💯 i remember when u had like 25k lol!! and those boxes are sweeet!! the figure in that wood was amazing! quick question what was that yellow and black handle looking thing you had on your bandsaw? and did u make ir buy it looks pretty convenient to have ..thanks Jay and congrats once again!!
for the small hinge screws would drilling a pilot hole larger than the shank of the screw plus filing down the threads a little to cut into the hardwood help?
excellent as always Jay. I just uploaded a new video please check it out on an fully adjustable articulated camera arm and a quick release mount for a dslr camera.
Love having the narration through the video. You pack so much information in. The boxes are stunning Jay, great job.
April Wilkerson you my favorite hard wood worker I always wach you videos:)
check woodprinter3d

Not to be rude or anything but I still didn't get my box... :)
+Giaco Whatever ;)
LOL!
I got your box today. USPS misdelivered it. I will try it out for you.
I was very impressed with the immense level of care you put into every single step of this project. The results reflect this. Excellent work.
Love them!
Aaaahhhhhhh.
Not cutting all the way through the box when you cut off the lids. How have I never thought of that before? *smacks forehead*
Adam Gabbert it's brilliant!
Adam Gabbert
Adam Gabbert same here
I like how Americans say “rabbet”. Blissfully unaware that the word is “rebate”. Somewhere along the line some American couldn’t spell. Just like Aluminium vs Aluminum.
Never make fun of someone's dialect. It's rude.
Great project, Jay. Time for a helical head planer for you and I, it seems. I had the same trouble with tearout on the conference table I built recently, where I was using figured Walnut.
Yeah. My wallet doesn't agree though.
Jay Bates mine neither, hah.
Love the crowd "Ahhhhs" - they are annoying and hilarious at the same time. Beautiful boxes, too.
Beautiful work Jay and you have some lucky friends/relatives that will receive them this Christmas. Also - your wood selection skills is unparalleled. Congratulations on 300k, Happy Christmas, keep making great stuff. Chuck in Kansas
You know you’re a boss when you use hardwood for a sacrificial fence 🤣
At about 1:00 into the video you mentioned the figure being more prominent near the "Bark Side of the Wood". When you said that I had visions of you, April Wilkerson and Steve Ramsey forming a Pink Floyd tribute band and recording that as your first album.
Volume of the recording volume of the recording
very nice Jay - well done - glad you are digging the figured stuff
Just in case you don't know or, haven't thought of it, you can buy just one single brush to apply glue for years... I just toss the brush in a cut off plastic bottle after every use... Next time you pull it out of the water it will be good as new.. :) I have used the same brush for a couple of years now... Just remember to change out the water from time to time... Wood glue goes rancid and stinky...
I've done that previously but the brush ferrule rusts quickly.
hmm.. mine has not rusted... the wooden handle has gone soft, but the ferrule is unchanged...
Interesting. Must be the quality of materials used. I'll try it again.
Great looking boxes by the way :) I have some really nice real amazonian mahogany that was harvested before people thought about saving the rainforests, that would look great accenting some of my "close to the bark" highly figured laurel wood... on some of these boxes...
I like the not cutting all the way through when separating the lid, I have had some scares with filler pieces falling out and trying to jam itself between the workpiece and the blade before..
it smells like old Chinese food when it goes bad
LITERALLY WHY AM I HERE???? I HAVE THINGS TO DO. I DNNT EVEN DK WOOD MAKING. PLEASE WHY IS THIS SO INTERESTING AND WHY AMD I WATCHING UT
Impressive craftsmanship! Keep up the goos work!
Beautiful boxes, Jay. And very well explained. Thanks for sharing!
Can you make a wooden box with a sliding lid.
Wow, I'm so envious of all the equipment in your shop! Great video, very informative and inspiring...
Another awesome project. Learned a lot of it.
Congratulations with your 300K subscribers!
visit my UA-cam channel
1:35 I wish I could clone myself like that!
jay i use steel screws the same size as the brass then remove steel and replace into threded project
That's pretty smart. Even with wax brass doesn't like to play nice. I'm gonna use that.
Nice boxes Jay, they are going to make Excellent Gifts for people at Christmas.
By the way Congratulations on getting over 300k Subscribers, not sure if anyone has mentioned it but hey Well Done.
Barry (ENG)
You should go down to your local sign making supply store and ask for low tack transfer tape. Its cheap and great for masking large areas quickly.
O man, good tips and insight, thank you! I had to stop and write this comment after you suggested testing the 45 degree angles with plywood... wish I'd thought of that last time!
Thanks for sharing =) The boxes are pieces of art! Really beautiful work!
LOL. I thought this was a recent video (wasn't paying attention) When I started the video I thought Jay was under the weather or something. His voice is so different from present day. LOL.
i think that u could have sandwich the inlays before cutting the mitera right? great build man, i love how u change your woodworking skills in this last season!
1:36 Am I losing my Mind?!?!
Three Thumbs up for this one Jay.. 1 Beautiful Wood, 2 Very good craftsmanship in the making, 3 helpful tips for others to learn from. I am sure the recipients will appreciate the effort you have put in.
I love the edging on the top and bottom, well worth the effort.
You could give me an empty one of these and I would be really happy. Beautiful work!
Thanks so much for the tip regarding the table saw step to separate the top and bottom of the box. I have screwed up more than one project by cutting all the way through the stock. Now I know what to do. Thanks for your advice Jay! Kenny C.

congratulations to 300k greetings MrHandwerk :)
Very nice - *one more tip about brass screws: First screw in a steel screw of the same size almost tight, then replace it with the brass.
That's great.
Your woodworking skills are excellent.
I don’t know what I was expecting to build a box but it wasn’t this. Lol. I’m so flamboyant.
Those are beautiful. Congrats hitting 300K!! Well deserved.
Those look really great Jay. I am drawn quite a bit to the hickory box. Another way to get prefect miters is to use a 45 degree router bit in your router table. Works great!
wow such high quality and precision. I'm not motivated to try and do better.
I just started my woodworking journey and I learned so much! Feel so inspired. Thanks!
Anyone not sure if the timber is stable put it under your bed for a few months to cure it.
When gluing use a bowl of hot water and a clean cloth, any excess glue you wash off.
Bad mitre joints, use a screwdriver blade "(the round part ) to rub the sharp edges in towards each other and close the gap.
Beautiful work. Any one would be delighted to receive such a timeless gift.
Jay - been following you since day 1. I know this is old but caught a much newer vid where you were praising the helical jointer and cursing the the conventional planer.

You can get helical heads for them but I'd put those $$ toward a bigger better planer. Maybe one of those iron monsters from the 30s or 40s you could rebuild.
Impressive, im think im might have to copy your idea and make a movie of this for my channel.. Great craftsmanship.
крутооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооооо!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From what I gather, you sir are a 'Detroit' woodworker craftsman..... Just a lucky guess...! ;-)
Have you thought about making a musket or Pennsylvania Long Rifle? Most of the craftsmanship is wood working. I would love to try it, but I have no skills with carpentry lol.
Mmm...........I would be worried about the strength of plain mitered joints. I use a miter lock router cutter - you can mill away a rebate of about 3- 4 mm for inlays lines on the vertical edges,
Good stuff...cannot believe I was not already subscribed...problem solved.
How do I measure or
(to do) if I want to make a box with a 45 degree angle, like yours in the video for coasters measuring 90 X 90 mm
Each corner should be sawn at a 45 degree angle
I know something about putting people in wood boxes. Just ask my GI Joes, Ninja Turtles in my mom's attic.
I'm going to send you a Blackhawks flag in a box. Lol I love your videos though. I am brand new to woodworking. I am learning a lot from them. Thank you!
80 people didn't like this video. They must not have the tools, time, and/ or skills. Nice job! Although I'll just be using pine.
So a helical head is up next for your planner? Really beautiful boxes! When using solid brass hinge screws, I will get the same size in steel and use them to "tap" the threads in the wood. The steel screw is less likely to break. If I plan on removing the hinge as part finishing or such I use the steel screws until I mount the hinge for the last time. Looking forward to part 2.
How much would you sell these for? Not that I'm interested in buying, just curious what the price would be for homemade projects like this
Very nice work Jay. I bet you would love a thickness sander. I actually got rid of my planer after I bought mine. Great video Jay , very well explained.
I was thinking how nice a thickness sander would be as I was making the veneer.
I would murder to have a woodshop like yours. Sadly where I live, any legally inhabitable house will cost you at least $400,000 even in the worst areas.
What kind of asshole downvotes something like this? Seriously dude - great tutorial. Keep up the great work.
Iron roof and glass walls. It burns all night but never falls. What is it?
A lantern. Have a great week!
Light house?
A flame lit light house would work as well.
Jay Bates I was going to guess an antique street light.
Jay Bates a lighthouse.
If not a lighthouse then a lamp?
We had a huge order of spalted butternut come in to Southeast Wisconsin about six months ago. All the suppliers were selling it for a great price.
My guess is that isn't maple. Maybe Nick Ferry got butternut up in green bay area too.

Lovely job. Do yourself a favour and make a longer base for your trim router and it'll straddle the entire box so it can't tip over when you're cutting out the hinges.
Awesome project. Thanks for sharing
Hi where did u get those hinges from ? Can I ask you the size of your box and the size of the hinges pls ? Keep up
Your lovely work
These are beautiful boxes. The amount of work that goes into such small projects is astounding. Great job.
I see saw at 8:20 that appears to be crosscut or dovetail saw. The handle makes me think it is a Rob Cosman saw.... If so, what is your opinion? I have a lee Nielson saw.
I did some boxes in the same way :) Thumbs up! They are beautiful!
Hey man I couldn’t stop thinking are you a Detroit Redwing Fan?
Fill the defect with epoxy then wrap it around the sides of the box. Always looks great.
Jay if the top and bottom are plywood how do they match the grain layout of the rest of the box so well?: I was a little confused about this part. I just got some nice burl wood that I was going to make a gift out of and the top and bottom seemed like a place I would like to skip using this if possible.
this shit is INSANE. i came to see if i should get into wood working and boy did i not realize how much work it was to just make a box!
I like to use wallnut as contrast with open grain woods and cherry with closed. Never stain, wrecks grain appearence.
Beautiful. Don't you need corner reinforcement for this kind of joints? I heard gluing end grain is not very effective.
i plan on making a similar box as a gift and was wondering if the miter joints are really enough to keep the box together with out splines. i'm sure they are i just over think everything and just want reassurance. my plan was to just do rabbet joints but i think the miters will look a lot better
Jay, what router are you using on the hinge mortises?? I would like to get something for my hinge work. Thanks!!
Any reason why you wouldn't finish the box and lid before installing the hardware? Seems like it would be easier than trying to finish around the shiny new brass.
Beautiful work Jay. Did you have any trouble removing the tape from the inside faces? I've done that before and the dried glue squeeze-out in the corners made it difficult to remove the ends of tape.
If i want the inside of my box to be 9x7 and made with 2x6s what size of lumber do i need 2 12 inch and 2 10 inch?
What kind of hinges do you use sir?
I dont know what is specific name for that hinges that stops in the middle . Thank you . .
Hey Jay... As always awesome work!!! I remember a couple of months ago you were talking about a video with higher FPS... What did you decide about that?!? The quality of your videos and editing keeps getting better every day... I dont remember if I ever mentioned but I'm an airline captain and your videos entertain me a lot when I'm traveling all tge country and spending several days away from home... Congrats on everything and as always best regards from down here in Brazil
I'm not a fan of 60fps on youtube. Just doesn't feel right for me.
Nice work. Another way to cut the lid is set your blade just a hair deeper than the box thickness, after you cut 3 sides tape a few spacers in there the thickness of the kerf and make the final cut.
shoooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwww.............parabéns!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not sure, but I think this guy is a fan of Minnesota sports.
before cutting the box open, its good practice to true the bottom by rubbing it on a sheet sandpaper on a true flat surface. when its all even there will be a slight suction to the tablesaw top. if any side is hanging lower or higher than its neighbor it will make those opening cuts not match, even from the smallest of hangout.
Awesome flags in the background, Go Lions, Tigers and Red Wings.
Really nice job bro!!!👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Top
beautiful boxes Jay im sure the recipients will cherish them for ever
Great job! Like!
Wrapraound grain, so lovely & classy
congrats on the 300000 subscriber milestone that is awesome Jay!!!💯💯💯 i remember when u had like 25k lol!! and those boxes are sweeet!! the figure in that wood was amazing! quick question what was that yellow and black handle looking thing you had on your bandsaw? and did u make ir buy it looks pretty convenient to have ..thanks Jay and congrats once again!!
Beautiful craftsmanship Jay, and very well done video.
for the small hinge screws would drilling a pilot hole larger than the shank of the screw plus filing down the threads a little to cut into the hardwood help?
excellent as always Jay. I just uploaded a new video please check it out on an fully adjustable articulated camera arm and a quick release mount for a dslr camera.
Those are top notch! Killer grain wrap too.
Jay, what blade are you using in your bandsaw.? Very nice boxes.
GREAT VIDEO ! Thanks for sharing it.
using a silicone basting brush works great for applying glue and is reusable
Sexy boxes, but drop the "ahhhhhh" effects. You're better than that.
Hi jay, would you be intersted in making a box for me?
