Hey UA-cam!
After posting a one and a half minute video clip this past week I received a lot of great feedback and decided to cut together a longer edit for you. Here is the longer edit of "It Starts with a Box". Remember, this is still only 16 minutes of a 10 Part Series. !! So just a fleeting glimpse really.
If you'd like to know more information about my membership site, check out the Unplugged Woodshop website for details and everything else unplugged. You'll find 675 + episodes of hand tool only woodworking projects, techniques, travel and tool reviews. Six hundred and some episodes is a hell-of-a lot to binge watch!!
So here's a glimpse inside this Unplugged Life series. I hope you enjoy it~
If you'd like further details on this and/or other my other woodworking and unplugged life projects, check out the Unplugged Woodshop website for more information.
And if you're in the Toronto area, come by The Unplugged Woodshop - School and Store. We're on Gerrard st East in Leslieville!
Thanks for watching!
Subscribe and share if you like the work.

I had never viewed your channel before searching for handmade wooden boxes. What a pleasant surprise! I hope all is well and you're still producing similar content. Thanks for sharing.
Tom, I also appreciate hand tools but watching you use yours, is truly inspirational.
Long time not seen. Glad you are back on tube. It's already relaxing to "see" you thinking. I like your vids so much, no disturbing music, just the sound of wood when a plane or a saw gives it shape. 🤗
Not only your skill and craftsmanship, I am really envious of you shop lighting.
Tom. I love your books. Hand tool woodworking is my passion. Thank you for helping me discover that passion. I hope you write another book soon.
Thanks Kyle-
THANK YOU!
Just watching you play ( work ) with wood is relaxing. Glad you are back on youtube.
Tom, thanks for the inspiration as always. Your hand resaw skills are impressive!
Thanks Tom. It is such a pleasure to watch this masterpiece.Love from UK

Thanks Richard-
So relaxing to watch your projects come to life. Total Zen.
Man, this is beautiful to watch. Please upload something, this is too good to remain unseen
Glad to see you back - love your work and your videos
Good to see you again
There is no better sound than a finely tuned plane being pushed across a piece of wood.
Awesome!!!
Not a tablesaw, thicknesser, planer or any other power tool in sight. You are a master craftsman. Very impressive!
That is a great take on a small utility box, thanks for sharing.
Had an absolute ball watching this video!
Superb! Thanks Tom. You always inspire me to start handtool woodworking again!
Very nice!
That is some confident dovetail sawing!!
Lots of practice! - : )
Very beautiful box Tom! Thank you for sharing with us! I think what you do is very special! Thanks again.
Thanks Robert-
As always, beautiful work!

That was a pleasure. Thanks.
beautiful box Tom, love the frame and panelled base.
Been too long since I've seen one of your videos??? Always a spiritual pleasure...cheers...rr Normandy, France

My woodworker idol. Saludos desde Guatemala.
Many thanks-
If I was in Toronto I’d be at your school. A video in this style is next best. I hope it’s not a burden you feel obliged to put together.
Thanks! And no...no burden at all. I seem to have a few extra hours while I'm out here on summer vacation. Won't be the case come September when classes resume at The Unplugged Woodshop! Enjoy~ and thanks again for the comments.
Hey Tom good to see you and hear you, been a long time!! Hope all is well!! Cheers
Thanks brother! Good to be seen-; ))
You make it look so easy, many thanks for sharing and I am still wondering if I could go unplugged
Buenísimo gracias
Hello fellow 🇨🇦, I loved the video :)
Thanks !
thanks!
You definately called the split! So what did you see that suggested the split would occur? I see from the video, that you pointed to an area in the grain close to the top of the cathedral. Is that where a split typically occurs? So cool!
Hey Fidgen, when are you going to post another video again? I love learning from you
Привет, Том! Как дела? Продолжаешь мастерить, молодец!
Have you been woodworking or making videos lately? You were one of the channels I watched a lot when I started woodworking, wondering if you're still at it.
I am still trying to find the best way to fit the bottom into the carcass, I made grooves with some wooden groove plane and then fitted the bottom with no glue . I am just not convinced of the strength of the bottom withstanding weight when a heavy object is placed in the box. In my case a number 6 plane. And the wood movement of the bottom could also crush the box when glued...what do you think?
Tom, what is the boat behind you in the shop, I only see the stern and the rudder lines and rudder arm?
Always a joy to watch you work, Tom.
Did I see that right for the bottom? You grooved both long edges of a medium-width board then ripped it into two narrow boards and then crosscut each for a rail and stile?
You did indeed. Good eye! It's a lot easier to hold the wider board before the grooves go in-; ) Cheers Ethan! Hope you're doing well.
@@theUnpluggedWoodshop I don't think you showed all of that; I inferred a little, I think. Yes, it would be more difficult to get the fence to settle on the board face while cutting grooves if the board were more narrow. I'm always looking for knowledge, so thanks for showing that. I'll use the technique in the future. I'm sure it saves a little time and also ensures perfect groove alignment between rail and stile for both sets.
Indeed, visible at 10:20
Tom, I love all your videos and inspiration. I'm getting into hand tool woodworking and want to build my own planes. Your planes are absolutely awesome! Did you make them from walnut? If so, how well do the soles hold up? Thanks!
Great box and video. Thanks! How long does a project like this take?
Thanks- I've been running a 5 day class like this every year at both my school in Toronto ( The Unplugged Woodshop ) as well as other International schools in Germany and Australia. 5 days seems like a good amount of time.
Thanks for sharing this video,
What kind of saw you use for split board ?
What TPI you prefer using ?
It's a Disston D8 filed around 5 tpi Rip.
Sorry, you could have made it 2 or 3 hours longer and I still would have watched it.
I'm newbie, so tell me, please, is there any reason not to cut two boards simultaneously (dovetail), after marked them together
What happennns?
Hey Tom, Are you back in T.O. or still in the Cape?
Great video by the way!
Cheers
still on the Coast but back to the city by the weekend. Thanks for the comments ! Cheers~
Great, I hope to drop by the unplugged workshop, I've never been.
Was that Shellac for your finish?
Thanks for the question. First I did a seal coat of shellac on everything, and then wet sanding in between coats. From there the lid received a few more coats of shellac and again, wet sanding. After all of that I rubbed on a final coat of oil and will go over that again with paste wax when I return to my shop in Toronto at the end of next week. These finishing techniques are way more work than I usually do- sometimes I just rub a quick coat of oil/varnish and call it done....other times I'll build up a base coat and fill the pores of the wood beforehand. Paste wax is my go to for the final pass. Cheers~
@@theUnpluggedWoodshop What medium do you use to wet sand (water/oil)?
So cool not to see sandpaper
why you stoped ?
Tails first? I don’t know about this guy...only joking:)
Watching you, it seem soooo easy. But i know it's not...
Nice.
I have your 'unplugged workshop'. This is a good extra.
Just curious about your tattoo.
I can make out al-ard (the earth), something like quraab (the sake).
What is it about?

Stodoys is full of amazing tips. It helped me a lot.
