Woodworking Projects for Kids: How to Build a Box
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 лют 2011
- In this video, Jack and Drew demonstrate how to build a box. Building a box helps sharpen the fundamental skills needed to build more complex woodworking projects. The tools you will need for this project are: a handsaw, a hammer, corner clamps, speed square, tape measure and a pencil.
The first step to building a box is to cut all the pieces. Using the tape measure, make a mark at 4 inches. Don't forget to mark an X on the side you are not going to use. Then extend the line all the way across the board with a speed square. Note: Measuring and marking is the key to any successful woodworking project.
Before the next step, follow these safety tips: put on safety glasses, clean work area, no loose clothing, hair tied up and make sure your fingers are out of the way.
Clamp down the board and use a handsaw to cut. Follow this step three more times. Once the four pieces are cut, use your finger to spread the glue on the long edge. Push the two pieces together and check to be sure it is flush with a speed square. Clamp the pieces together and let the glue dry.
Finish by nailing the pieces together with a hammer. Sand the wood to get rid of any rough edges. Once everything is complete, you can paint or stain the box to your preference. To find advanced woodworking projects, visit www.Lowes.com/ShopClass.

I love this video. Not just because it's respectful of beginners (in the guise of kids, & yes I know enough about marketing to know that's smart as hell), but the gentleman, in his safety instructions, mentioned pulling back your hair if it's long. It's a small thing, but as a woman who's trying to learn I have never seen something like this before from a video from a man & I really appreciate it. Sure it's obvious to us you need to pull your hair back! (And yes of course men can have long hair too.) But this video is old & for Lowe's to have worked with someone who's instinct is inclusivity ten years ago (god the bar is low), I really appreciate it.
Thanks for the positive feedback! We're glad we could help! - Lowe's
There should be 2 clamps on that wood being sawed. OSHA is looking for you
Would’ve loved to see how he clamped the board down for this true beginner 😊
Poplar is a good wood to start with. It's fairly inexpensive, harder than plain pine and easy to work with. Thanks for visiting Lowe's on UA-cam. -Lowe's
Hi Drew, I'm 9 yrs old and i live in Mumbai, India. Today i saw your video and I liked it very much. You have a cooool carpentry workshop.... have fun and keep teaching us - maybe i should get my dad to teach people how to play the piano :) that way we can both learn from each other's dad.... byeeee
This is great thankyou. I'm going to show this to my Dad and have a go too.
YAY A BOX IVE NEVER SEEN A BOX THAT IS SOOOOO COOL!!!
Good video! my son is 3 years old only and I've tryed to push him to learn woodworker. Very good idea for begining. I just need wait he grow a little bit more.
SO COOL, going to try it!!!!:)
Please make more videos with kids 👦 this is awesome concept.
Pervert.
Yea
And here I am. I have been learning woodwork for almost half the school year, and I still can't use a saw as well as him.
Cute!
AWESOME!!!!
:)

Number 2 pencil r the best finer lines good job teaching them
You got that right . Father & Son together .
Pretty awesome
Amazing 😍😍😍
Great. I have to build a box. This one had no rebates (or rebbits?) no power tools. Simple.
Nice, what wood did you use? Hard or soft wood?
Any certain wood that should be used?
Kid is smarter than 70% of the men I work with
😎
How thick is the wood?
Awesome video ! would love to learn how to make a easy 3 tier cat bunk bed.Would you be able to help me ?
Things to do with your kids at home... beginning of training a kid to have a engineer/mechanical type of thinking at a young age
nice beginner project. But I doubt the young fellow actually was able to cut 4 boards square and to size with that saw. The video shows him properly starting the cut, then a shot of the saw, then magically 4 perfectly cut sides. That takes some practice.
I'm doing this at school
I\'m not sure but ,if anyone else wants to discover simple furniture plans try Jadonite Wood Blueprints Buddy ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my mate got great results with it.
What kind of wood is it????

You could save time and energy when making wooden furniture if you've got the specific diagram & step-by-step guides.
how many nails do you use and where..?
This is how what were gonna make but bigger
when they said cutting, I though they were going to pull out a miter saw, or a circular saw, or at least a jig saw, but nope. a hand saw
When working with kids, hand tools > power tools. Easier to learn the fundamentals and much safer. As they master the basics, you can start incorporating some power tools, but we don't recommend the use of circ saws or miter saws by anyone under 18.
oops, does that mean I have to wait another 5 years?
Good video but i doubt the kid hand cut those boards that accurate and square. I think Dad trimmed them on the miter saw
Hey , don't try to take the fun out of it for the Young Man ( Not Kid ) LOL Just Joking . From the Deep Deep South Here . Southern Oh Hi Ho . Git It ??
"Alright, cut the tapes, let me get out the power sander"
there's no mention of the size of the wood used.

I don’t have a clamper
I'm 11 and I have build a wall to seperate a big room into two
tell ur dad I told him good job on building that wall
Is it safe to say Jack "saw" Drew..then again its not safe
Make it wooden with Woodbex.
@classiclistener01 i wasnt bashing there skills at all
what wood do i need
Dominika Nowak poplar
First!!!
where are the inlayed, angled, half blind dovetails and Amboyna burl for the top with a purpleheart accent
Wait how come they don't have a dust mask. Where's the safety first? Even if it's little sanding the kid needs one
Diabloscampeones9, I always were one
2018 anybody?????????
Ok. First of all: safety-glasses using a handsaw (maybe) is just a little 'over the top' [it makes perfect sense for every power-tool]. Second: explain how to prevent splitting a board using nails? Thanks.
+FreeSoftware preventing splitting really begins with a pilot hole (check out our DIY Basic on it bit.ly/1Z2L6pk). Thanks for watching our video.
I think it’s good to teach them to always be safe. If you teach them sometimes you need safety gear and sometimes you don’t, they very well may not use it on a time when they should have and that might be all it takes to negatively impact them in a big way.
My only comment is if they did a long grain to long grain glue up versus end grain to long grain no nails would be required.
No certain wood

hi everyone ,if anyone else trying to find out woodworking projects bench try Jadonite Wood Blueprints Buddy ( search on google ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my work buddy got cool results with it.
talk bout lousy acting
a hammer and nails, how about a drill! this is killing me....
Grand Master Craft yea it's killing me to really no power tools
