Thanks for the video. I've built frames to a degree the same way but used a thin strip of wood tacked to the frame to hold the panels. Was a real pain working with strips that small. Your cedar lining gave me an idea. Next time I'm going to try mounting the panels as you did but then line the entire interior with 1/4-inch plywood with a hardwood trim around the top. I think it'll look seamless inside and save me from messing with all those small pieces. We'll see.
Thanks for watching edward! Thats sounds like it might work.
6:21 - my heart stopped briefly when that board started to ride up. Lol awesome looking piece man
Mine did too. I probably should have edited that out. Thanks for watching!
I remember making my own chest when I was 10 is was fun now. I am 19 is been a long time when I use to play with my Legos
Wes you just gave me a quick and wonderful look for a family gift...
That's an outstanding project. Thanks for the inspiration. I have a granddaughter to make one for this Christmas!
Thanks for watching Rick! This would make a perfect Christmas gift.
great show of skill with the multiple techniques...but i believe you could have gotten that side panel look with a bit of router work..but i understand why taking the "long way around" is alot more fun😎 nice to see young men continuing the artform...and i like that you use the ol'school table saw😎
You definitely got that pocket hole joinery figured out!
Super nice, very well built and looks amazing
Tapered corners are a nice touch.
Thinking about this for house
Great video and fantastic result! It looks amazing, congratulations on a lovely build. I know I’m not the first to say this, but you’ve really got to keep those fingers safe buddy, you made me nervous 😂
Beautiful piece, but man you got your fingers close to those blades a couple times. I was afraid that any second this was going to turn into a totally different kind of video. Be safe!
I had the same thought!! 😬
Very nice Wes you have the skill now build yourself an outfeed table
Beautiful job well done Wes! I can imagine how amazing your shop smelled as you were working on this! :D
Thanks guys
Nice video. Since you haven’t allowed for any wood movement, there’s a good chance the top may eventually split. All wood moves across the grain.
I loved your video. Do you have plans with dimensions that I could print?
Very good craftsmanship.
Thank you joel!
the music made me wanna get out in the desert with a glow stick and some peyote . nice build .
African Cichlids lol, thanks for watching
I made it by myself thanks to woodprix instructions and plans. I think it's the best way to learn how to build that.
Great one!
@@randypontony1683 Agree! 💝💝💝
As an absolute novice who is trying to learn, I found it really interesting to watch this video without narration and try to follow what you were doing and why. There are a lot of narrated videos that are great for learning from, so I think it's really good to try to test my self by following along without explanation.
I'm going to ask a few questions, and hopefully you or one of your viewers will have some time to answer them.
First: I don't quite understand why you're gluing the boards together at 0:20. Is this to make thicker boards for the base? Is there a reason you wouldn't just use a thicker board?
Second: Is the machine you're using at 7:09 to square off the edges of your boards? What is this kind of machine called? I haven't seen it before.
Third: Is the machine you're using at 3:45 some kind of sander to smooth the surfaces of the wood?
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to answer; I'm just starting to learn all of this stuff and every bit helps.
thanks for watching!
1. I glued boards together to create thicker pieces for the legs. This is mainly done for the reason of cost. I could use thicker boards to do this but would cost alot more.
2. The tool I'm using at 7:09 is called a biscuit jointer. It cuts slots in the wood to accept a wood biscuit.
3. The Machine I use at 3:45 is a thickness planer. Its used to bring the wood done to a desired thickness.
Very nice. Beautiful finish. I really enjoyed watching you make this.
Nice project Mr. Hamstra, tnx for sharing it!!!
Very nice job. I would like to see you make one with better wood and fewer pocket holes. I realize money was a consideration here but I'd like to see you step it up a notch and make an even better one. You definitely have the skills for it. Thanks.
Whats wrong with pocket holes?
pockets holes are weak, there are much better ways to join wood.
+Lee Goins in this application they do the job fine. I have seen lots of mortise and tenon joints come apart. I havnt seen a pocket hole joint come apart yet.
Platt? 🙀
@@WesHamstra legs have dissapeared lol
that is good looking lumber you must have a lumber yard in the area
At the time when I made this the lumber yard was in behind my house. I didn’t go far for wood
Any plans
great work!! congratulations. Brazilwood
Great job. Really like how the panelling came out!
Thanks Robin
Too much overkill to make this chess. You did an excellent job applying all those techniques.
Nice build!
Why do people find it irresistible to criticize someone who is actually doing something when they themselves are just keyboard cowboys with an opinion no one cares about?
ron0126 Welcome to the internet, where everyone gets a voice, and the stupid people get bullhorns.
Took the words right out of my mouth! 😂👍😎
This is a technique I haven't mastered yet but is the top of the box a different measurement from the bottom of the box to accommodate the tapered cut legs/post? Or is the taper just on the outward facing side of the leg/post to give it character? Very nice build!
Gorgeous piece! Wish I had invested in tools to do this as well
Great job this will be my next project. Thanks for the video
hey nice video, I watched this aaaages ago and then could never find it again to subscribe, finally it popped up again I remembered to subscribe.
One Man Band Woodworking that's great! Thanks! I just discovered your channel about a month ago. I made sure to subscribe.
Hey Wes, came here from the TSC Gala auction pages... Good job, and thank-you!
(My project is finished but the video is still on the camera. Maybe next week...)
I'll have to check out some of your other work.
...art
I didn't say anything was wrong with pocket holes. I've used them probably longer than you've been alive. I'm old enough to be your grandfather. I'm just saying that, in making something as nice as you made, some fine joinery techniques would have been nice. In making nice furniture items, which you certainly have the ability to make, sometimes it's nice to see great joinery used. Why do you think some furniture makers use "blind dovetails?" You have great talent and I just think that pocket holes belong in shop build projects and jigs, not nice things. That's all.
Ahh gotcha. I like the pocket holes because they are quick and easy. I have never tried dove tails or mortise and tennons. Maybe that will be a next video
Couldn't disagree more. If the pocket holes don't show and are strong who cares? I've built with both. I have pair of night stands, one built with pocket joinery and the other with a combination of mortise/tenon/dovetail. Functionally and aesthetically they perform/look the same from the outside. I get an equal number of compliments but one was a lot easier to build and I have to tell folks one is constructed differently than the other. I've even had skeptics make me show them the difference.
Great looking chest! Nice work!
Thanks man. I checked out your channel. You make some nice stuff too
Thanks, Wes!
Thanks, any chance of getting plans (newer woodworker)?
Were you able to get the plans
@@jerihoke3939 no
Love this! Great video and build Wes!
Thanks pete!
You are the man of Pocket Holes ....
Did you build from plans? Or is it possible to get some?
Nice work
nice piece. solid panels need to float for expansion and contraction pinning and gluing them will cause them to split. just a helpful fyi
How would you attach them?
badboyvids1 if you make the frame as you did pocket holes and routed rabbet , you can pin them using minimal amount of pins. Or use engineered panels with inset moldings. For solid panels use a tongue and groove joinery for your frames they make stile and rail bits for panel door applications.
@@fvids1603 ok thanks Ile use the rabbit cube face
Absolutely beautiful!
Wes, man... gotta say this it really cool!
Thanks mitch! Im thinking of building another one to sell. Alot of people seem to like this
Yeah he told the sheriff they were abit hard on rambo
Looks nice but if you were going to line the inside with cedar you should have put the pocket holes on the bottom on the inside.
Pretty nifty trick for knock-off raised panels. Did you use wood conditioner also?
Bat controller? Yeah lol
thats gorgeous wes! great work love the way it looks with the stain.
Nice job mate
@ 0:22 I dont think you used enough wood glue.
never enough glue , need 1 gallon per joint. everyone knows this
I think the squeeze out could fill my empty glue bottle xD
😂😂😂
What kind of finish did you put on? Looks amazing!
wow man this is awesome.
You must get some push sticks. Before it is too late 😉
OUCH ... Look no fingers
Wow!! It's so nice! I love hope chests so much! I'm trying to make my own, if you make another one that is lighter stain wise and are selling, I'd love to buy it. I love that your raising the money for your sisters church!! That's amazing! Absolutely love this box!
Nice
Good Job. Great looking piece of furniture. From experience, though, I would suggest/challenge you to limit your use of pocket screws. Pocket screws are handy, but are actually a weak joining method. learn some other techniques, use your router more and the Kreg jig less... Great Job!!
Cody Barker thanks. Please watch my recent videos. My skills have development since I made this video 4 yrs ago. I rarely use my pocket hole jig. I only use it when customers want something done quick and cheap
@@WesHamstra Sweet !! Good job man. I didn't realize that this was that old.. LOL. I'll check out your other stuff :-)
Cody Barker no worries man. You are not the first to mention my excessive use of pocket holes. I have to be honest tho, it is tempting to use sometimes just because of how quick it is.
Confused.. Why not use use wood glue for the section that was getting pocket holes??
i would use glue with pocket screws . they are weak as shit
Glue on end grain is worthless.
The Woodworking Junkie put me on to you and I subscribed. I liked the work you did and the project as well as your video. If I may mention something, and please don't be offended, I like to hear narration so I will know what's going on and why. That's just me and if you don't say a word I'm not going to "un" your channel.
God Bless my friend.
No offensive taken frank. I am slowly getting more comfortable talking in front of a camera. At first it felt wierd talking in front of a camera for 10 subscribers. But now I am nearing 1200 subs. Next video will have more narration, just for you ;)
Thanks.
Any issues with wood expansion for the lid?
Since I first made the statement about pocket holes, I now see other comments. As I stated, there is a time and place for everything. I really hate to see this become a discussion that says mortise and tenons are weak and pocket holes are strong. 275 years of experience says mortise and tenons are strong. But this is not about joinery. This now is about not being able to take constructive criticism. Let's all just move on. We've had our say. And, who knows, 275 years from now, you might be able to point to the chest you made and say "see, I told you so."
Everyone is entitled to there opinion on joinery. I do whats quickest and easiest. I dont really care how its put together. As long as it looks good and lasts
Well done!
Great stuff! Whats the finishing product you used on this?
I feel like watching a chuck norris movie 🎥😎
Do you have plans for this?
Love it
Do you have plans for this box?
Nice job man! Quick question. I built a toy chest as a gift several years ago but didn't line it with cedar. I'm thinking of doing it for her now. I see that you used cedar panels. Would you recommend this over single sheets of cedar? Thanks for your input and Happy Holidays!
Shakey Perspective I would recommend using aromatic cedar. Home Depot sells it. That's one mistake I made on this. Thanks for watching and merry Christmas
love it great job
Could you include, or send me, a list of materials, and or where you got them?
Got them from bass hunter which was hiding under the Aztec statue
Whould like to know if you had a cut list? Or what messurements you used?
No wonder he took away my writing board as Adam was sorry
I have a question, is the machine he puts all the wood through some kinda sander? If not what is it? What does it do?
its called a Planer. There are rollers that have small square blades running along the length of the roller that cut the wood. Top end planers can take as little as a 64th of a inch off at a single pass. But planers leave planer marks on the wood (because its cutting the wood) so its smart to sand those off before finishing the piece. Very handy and nifty tool because you get a level surface cut off at a single pass.
amazing job dude cheers ')
Thanks Daniena, thanks for watching
Nice!
Wes - after you made the front in preparation for the panels you routered out the wood to accept the panels. Can you tell me what router bit you used. Thanks. Burt in Chilliwack BC
Thanks for watching! The bit I used was a 3/8" slot cutting bit with a bottom bearing. I just raised it up to cut a rabbit rather the a dado.
thanks Wes much appreciated the quick reply
Great job, saludos
Thank you!
very nice 💙
Maybe a stupid question, but can you tell me how you Made the panels for the chest??
I will post a video on how I made them. It will be easier to explain it that way. Thanks for watching!
+Wes Hamstra (Wes Hamstra Woodworking) thanks. be waiting on the video.
hey wes, very nice chest, super simple. have any prints? where do you get cedar in blocks like that so they can be re-sawn?
I dont have prints. Its based off a chest jay bates built. I bought the cedar at my local lumber yard.
Great looking chest!
Thank you bryan!
+Wes Hamstra (Wes Hamstra Woodworking) What stain did you use for this chest?
I can't quite remember. I think it was minwax dark walnut
Beautiful however wish you had given plans
do you have plans for this a friend of mine would like me to build one for her where would i get the plans?
Awesome, what takes longer - making the cedar chest or making the video?
+Michael Hamstra thanks bro! I edited the video every night after I finished working on it so that it wouldn't take so long. but probably took just as long to edit as it did to make it.
It the video was really good, music was a little sketchy, maybe you should make your own guitar riff as well. Nice chest by the way.
+Michael Hamstra It's not just the editing. It's the constant setting up of the tripod. Move the tripod. Angle the camera. Check the shot and lighting. Move it for another shot. pause what your doing to start/stop the video camera. The general consensus is that it triples the build time... (depending on how much you work at it, of course.)
ps: pardon me for butting into a conversation between brothers. :-)
@@MichaelHamstra what this rif raf they wanted their money back from the lost plutonium? So they attacked Dr brown for the time machine
Can we get the plan for this
I need a chest made... preferably pecan wood... preferably from Waco... can you do it?
It will be better for You to do it yourself!
I'll never understand why editors dont just cut out the sound from the machines.
Nice chest. But why music? 86 the music.
where did you get the cedar wood? it came out great, nice job
Johncoffee, green mile
nice music :-)
Beautiful looking chest!
Thanks!
The wood that cost 60 bucks in 2015 is probably a grand now lol..
oh. please tell me there are plans for this.
Sorry michael. I have no plans. I am planning on building another one. I will try to make plans for it,
Plans?
dang!
Pocket holes , CA glue and staples !!
not enough pocket screws but looks good
Yeah he just found out today. Apparently he didn't know before 👽🙀
Do you have plans you could provide for this? i would purchase them if so.
I dont have plans. Maybe in the future. But its 36" long 18" deep and 18" tall. All the styles and rails are 2" wide and the all four legs are 2 1/8 square with a 1/2" taper on them.
+Wes Hamstra I am completely new to woodworking, so I have an idea of what you are saying, but I guess the best way to learn is to try. Great build by the way, did you joint your boards, I know you said pine and it is hard to find quality boards here.
+Jules Albear I did joint the boards, I just didn't show it. The pine I used wasn't quality planks. I bought ruff pine which is used for building barns. all I did was cut out any ugliness and planed everything to get it all even and smooth. You will love woodworking. I find great joy in it. very satisfying.
+Wes Hamstra very cool, I have tried a few other projects without a jointer, and of course they dont turn out as well as I would like, so i was wondering if it was just me or if a jointer was a critical tool i was missing. Any suggestions of a jointer to go with?
+Jules Albear I never used a jointer for the longest time. I use a general international jointer and I really like it. Watch my tapering jig video. It can be used as a jointer as well
where would I get plan for this chest?
I dont have plans. But this design was based off jay bates hope chest. He has plans on his website
I just read the description. How do you only spend 60$. At home depot its 20$ for a 1x12!
The lumber I used is called barn boards at my local hardware store. its a 1x12 8' long. its not select lumber. it has lots of knots. its only rough sawn pine. its costs $8 for a 1x12x8. Its been awhile since I made this but I think I only used 3 boards.
I never shop at home depot. I find them very expensive and they have very poor quality lumber
Thanks man I'll look into a better way of buying wood, thanks!
But I love the video! Thx
does anyone know what the dewalt tool he uses at 2:40?
It's a router
I really hope you have gotten new push sticks since this video. Scared the crap out if me. Also way way too much glue, and in top of your table saw, really.
Yeah mine looked like a pirites chest In design.
